This should have been solved on the local level years ago, but it has not been. And I put the blame on the Park Service for this.

Mr. Chairman, thank you, and I hope you understand it is awfully early in the morning for the Mayor and myself. You guys have a nice, leisure morning. We have to be up at 4 a.m. to have this hearing.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss Willow with you at any time, and further to facilitate your meeting with the groups above to hear from them directly.
With all due respects, in Alaska, the Park Service does not have a good reputation with Alaska Native tribes.
I firmly oppose his request that you 'suspend' or 'freeze' the Willow permitting process.
