The Honorable, The Senate:
The enclosed audit report on WPL Holdings, Inc. (WPLH) and its impact on the operations of Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WP&L) was prepared as required by Wis. Stats. s.
196.795(7)(ar) for distribution to the Legislature under Wis. Stats. 13.172(2).
This report covers financial operations through 1997, and does not reflect the operations of Interstate Energy Corporation (d/b/a Alliant Energy Corporation) which was formed in April 1998 by the merger of WPLH with two Iowa companies.
A report on the 1998 financial operations of the merged company will be prepared and submitted to the legislature later this year.
Sincerely,
Lynda L. Dorr

The Honorable, The Legislature:
Chapter
34, Laws of 1979, requires that when the State of Wisconsin maintains an office in Washington, D.C. for the purpose of promoting federal/state cooperation, a report detailing the activities of the office and reporting the status of federal legislation of concern to the State Legislature and other state agencies shall be submitted (Wis. Stats., 16.548(2)).
Pursuant to this requirement, I have enclosed the 1998 Fourth Quarter Report by the Wisconsin Office of Federal-State Relations. Throughout the fourth quarter, the Office concentrated on planning for the 106th Congress, including planning sessions for legislative initiatives, outreach to new Wisconsin members and working with various groups to determine priorities for the upcoming year.
Sincerely,
Mark D. Bugher
Secretary
State of Wisconsin

On January 6, 1999 the Board approved modifications to the Investment Policy Guidelines that create a new Real Estate Mortgage portfolio for the Wisconsin Retirement System's (WRS) Fixed Trust Fund. The additional guidelines are attached.
