Would say Historical Perspectives are important and policymaking. But there is much less understanding about how to actually link perspectives to policymaking a when, where, and what context it is appropriate. A series of panels about history and policy with federal historians who are often those closest to policymaking and might have some valuable thoughts to offer. We all appreciate that inside. My name is claire altman, i am the directory of the federal Judicial Center in washington, d c.

That its more than just making access available. If access is denied it doesnt make any difference whether or not you have sold those leases. Its all about being able to access them. Let me move to a second question here. And this relates to my on going frustration on behalf of king cove. You made that decision to abandon the opportunity for a roughly 300 to 1 exchange to facilitate a 10mile onelane gravel road. You made that decision december 23rd of 2013. Do you know when king cove saw its most recent medivac . Im not aware of their most recent it was sunday. Sunday night. Do you know how many medivacs have been carried out so far . Is theres been five. Do you know how many were carried out last year . There were 16. 16 were coast guard, ten were noncoast guard.

Im just pointing out that in 19 t e 98 we appropriated 187 million to promote a hoefer california. So i think that was something that the Clinton Administration worked on. So maybe we need to look at something in that area
Leaders and it was very clear that there is no daylight amongst the elected leaders in terms of how they are viewing these decisions coming out of the administration. So i just want to make again very clearly enunciate very clearly that i oppose this administrations decision on anwr i oppose its decision offshore, i oppose its costly restricts and endless decisions within the mpra and oppose what its doing to our plasser miners and Timber Industry and many other Resource Producers ready to provide good jobs to hardworking alaskans. The state of alaska was actively ignored. The north slope bureau, alaska native corporations and many alaskans all of whom asked for an oil and gas alternative in interiors anwr plan by claiming that it requires an act of Congress Even though an act of wilderness requires the very same. The actions from this administration seem destined to shut down our transAlaska Pipeline weakening our economy, forcing our state to make steep budget cuts and really violati
