Last week, I raised this issue with Secretary McMahon, and I’m pleased she agreed to expedite the obligation of the funds for the Alaska Native Education Program grants that Congress appropriated earlier this year.
In rural Alaska, you have to improvise. That’s why I’m always interested in innovations that help our communities adapt to the realities on the ground.
Ensuring the safety of Afghan nationals who bravely fought side by side with U.S. Armed Forces against the Taliban is not only a moral obligation, but also extends to our national security interests.
I will continue to champion this program and work with the Department to ensure this funding is administered more expeditiously going forward.
