Lisa Murkowski: “We have leveraged a total of about $107 million in federal dollars into an additional $125 million in non-federal funds.”

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.

I look at the War Powers Resolution, and it’s not ambiguous. It requires the president to terminate hostilities within 60 days absent congressional authorization.

I will continue working to eliminate this fee permanently so that Alaska’s students are receiving the best education possible, regardless of the outcome of future legal challenges.

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