Well, the notion that there are no roads in the refuge is completely false.

An 11-mile gravel road is denied time and time again, most callously by Sally Jewell the latest time, where they put the lives of birds above the lives of people

Please pass on from this Committee and the rest of the Senate the appreciation that we all have for the great job that the men and women of the Coast Guard are doing for our country.

I think we have an important role to play.

I think this exchange underscores the need for a joint hearing between this Committee and the Seapower Subcommittee.

I don't think the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States should be deploying on such old and decrepit icebreakers

One disappointment in the NDAA conference report is that it authorizes the procurement of one new icebreaker

You can't put a dollar sign on a life, whether it's a life of an Alaskan resident in King Cove

No community, no community, in America should be deprived access to necessary emergency care, and Senators from the lower 48 would have howled at something this outrageous.

I strongly opposed Secretary Jewell's decision, as I believe the safety of the inhabitants of King Cove is paramount to other interests.

It's important for all of us to work together to understand your thinking.

I'm looking for a 5 percent increase.

Rural Alaskans and Alaska natives face environmental, energy, and survival challenges that are unique in the United States.

This bill is narrowly focused to provide a minor exemption from New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for compression ignition internal combustion engines used to power and heat remote Alaska villages.

Senator Sullivan's S. 1934, the Alaska Remote Generator Reliability and Protection Act, will ensure that remote communities will have access to reliable power.

We would hope you and Administrator Pruitt would never make a statement such as that by Gina McCarthy which showed complete disrespect for the rule of law and really for the Congress, in my view.

I think the Supreme Court was saying, that is not the rule of law.

I think it is also important to recognize. Sometimes you do not always get it from this Committee, but we all are very focused on clean water and clean air.

To be perfectly blunt, I think the last Administrator in the previous Administration was not that concerned about the rule of law.

That was Gina McCarthy. That was one of numerous, numerous occasions where she and her team ignored the rule of law.

I was very disappointed to see the Trump administration did not fund that because no American citizen should live in a community where you do not have a flushing toilet.

The opportunity to allow our nation and our state to have revenue, not just to meet the full range of existing budgetary needs, but to be responsive to a changing climate, particularly in our state, is very real and must be addressed.

I want to emphasize once again, that our national security interest is critical, that we, in Alaska, sometimes feel fairly vulnerable.

The priority for subsistence use of our fish and game resources is the highest statutory priority in our state.

The number one thing you can do, is produce more American energy.
