MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE
The Honorable
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Legislature of the State of Washington
Olympia, Washington 98504
Mr. Speaker:
As required by Article II, Section 1, of the State Constitution and RCW 29.79.200, we herewith respectfully certify that we have completed the verification of the signatures on Initiative to the Legislature 159, a copy of which was preliminarily certified to you on January 9, 1995, and we have determined that the initiative contains the signatures of at least 181,667 legal voters of the State of Washington. Therefore, we hereby certify that initiative to the Legislature 159 is qualified to appear on the state general election ballot unless approved by the Legislature during this session.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand, and affixed the Seal of the State of Washington, this 23rd day of January, 1995.
(Seal)
Ralph Munro, Secretary of State
CERTIFICATION OF INITIATIVE TO THE LEGISLATURE 159
Pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the Washington State Constitution, RCW 29.79.200, and WAC 434-79-010, the office of the Secretary of State has caused the signatures submitted in support of Initiative to the Legislature 159 to be examined in the following manner:
1) It was determined that 235,993 signatures were submitted by the sponsors of the initiative. A random sample of 17,089 signatures was taken from those submitted;
2) Each sampled signature was examined to determine if the signer was a registered voter of the state, if the signature was reasonably similar to the one appearing on the record of that voter, and if the same signature appeared more than once in the sample. We found 15,263 valid signatures, 1,772 that were invalid due to non-registration or improper form, and 54 pairs of signatures duplicated signatures in the sample;
3) We calculated an allowance for the chance error of sampling (64) by multiplying the square root of the number of invalid signatures by 1.5;
4) We estimated the upper limit of the number of signatures on the initiative petition which were invalid (25,355) by dividing the sum of the number of invalid signatures in the sample and allowance for the chance of error of sampling by the sampling ratio;
5) We determined the maximum allowable number of pairs of signatures on the petition (28,971) by subtracting the sum of the number os signatures required by Article II, Section 1 of the Washington State Constitution (181,667) and the estimate of the upper limit of the number of invalid signatures on the petition from the number of signatures submitted;
6) We determined the expected number of pairs of signatures in the sample (151) by multiplying the square of the sampling ratio by the maximum allowable number of pairs of signatures on the initiative petition;
7) We determined the acceptable number of pairs of signatures in the sample (130) by subtracting 1.65 times the square root of the expected number of pairs of signatures in the sample; and
8) Since the number of pairs of signatures in the sample is less than the acceptable number of pairs of signatures in the sample, I hereby declare Initiative to the Legislature 159 to be sufficient.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Seal of the State of Washington this 23rd day of January, 1995.
(Seal)
Ralph Munro, Secretary of State
There being no objection, the House advanced to the fourth order of business.

WHEREAS, Over nine thousand men and women of the Washington National Guard continue to serve the country as a key part of our national defense; and
WHEREAS, These citizen soldiers who reside in every legislative district throughout Washington volunteer their time and personal efforts to serve the needs of the people of Washington State; and
WHEREAS, The Guard is assisting local communities with their health needs through Operation Guardcare, a program under which medical personnel give care to medically underserved areas through inoculations and wellness services; and
WHEREAS, The Guard is active in promoting positive activities for the youth of our state through active involvement in the DARE program, drug demand reduction presentations at local schools, and Camp Minuteman, a motivational summer youth experience at Camp Murray; and
WHEREAS, The Guard makes a major contribution to our state's war on drugs by providing soldiers and equipment in support of local law enforcement through thirty-five different agencies. These counterdrug support efforts by our men and women last year contributed to over 9,000 drug-related arrests, seizures, and destruction of millions of dollars of illegal drugs; and
WHEREAS, The Guard continues its high priority support for local communities by opening armories for public use for classes, food banks, and community and youth activities. The Guard also answered numerous calls for assistance from local communities for missions varying from traditional color guards to hauling food in support of anti-hunger initiatives; and
WHEREAS, The Guard added another bright chapter in its history as an essential part of our state's ability to protect lives and property in the event of natural disasters. The Guard provided a major portion of the equipment and fire fighting and support personnel in the state effort to fight the Central Washington wildfires in August of 1994. Over 3,500 Guard soldiers and seven hundred pieces of equipment operated in the five fire areas during the height of the fire danger. These soldiers and airpersons gave up time from their jobs and families to preserve lives and safety in endangered local communities. They accomplished their missions in the face of constant danger and adversity with no loss of life or significant injury. Their actions represent a continuation of the great tradition of sacrifice and service to Washington as shown in the Mt. St. Helens eruption, Spokane wildfires, floods in Skagit county, and the 1993 Inauguration Day windstorm;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State House of Representatives recognize and applaud the members of the Washington National Guard for their exceptional dedication, pride, and professional service to the State of Washington; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Washington State House of Representatives express its appreciation to the families and employers of our Guard soldiers and airpersons for their support without which the Guard's mission could not be successful; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives specifically and particularly recognize the value of a strong Washington National Guard to the economy and well-being of this state, both through the occasional performance of its state disaster relief mission, and through the ongoing benefit to local communities by the presence of productively employed, drug-free, and efficiently trained Guard units and the armories that house them; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be immediately transmitted to the Adjutant General of the Washington National Guard, the Governor of the State or Washington, the Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of the Air Force, and to the President of the United States.
Representative Talcott moved adoption of the resolution.
Representatives Talcott, D. Schmidt, Wolfe and Dyer spoke in favor of the adoption of the resolution.
House Resolution No. 4608 was adopted.
There being no objection, the House reverted to the fifth order of business.

Representative Morris: Thank you Mr. Speaker. I would suggest that this body collectively and individually is probably a little better at passion that at protocol for the flag. So that I would ask you, Mr. Speaker if you would distribute to us before the next session, what the proper protocol is on when we are to put our hand over our heart as the flag passes by and when we are to take it down. Because I think if we were to look at each other during that time we would see that there is absolutely no uniformation. Now when I was in school and afraid of stealing pens from the Post Office, I did know when to put my hand over my heart and when to take it down. So if you could just refresh our memories that would be helpful. Thank you.
