Lisa Murkowski: “I am concerned that this budget cuts $99 million from IHS facilities despite the Service's estimated $10 billion…”

I join Alaskans in condolences as we learn of the plane crash in Cape Newenham today.

Alaska is a cornerstone of American defense; investments like this from the Coast Guard are critical as we work to improve infrastructure on bases across the state to maintain our national security.

Alaska is praying for those on board, their loved ones, and the team at Security Aviation.

I would expect this from terrorists and dictators, but not here in America.
