I know a lot of people who come to Alaska and visit ``Valdeez'' think it is pronounced ``Valdez.'' But I did want to highlight the fact we have tried to respond to the request for the land conveyances. They are 76,000 acres transferred…

Currently there is not a specific line item appropriation in the bill before us, H.R. 2466, for this project. However, it would be my hope that in conference the senior senator from Alaska and the Subcommittee Chairman could work to find…

Glacier Bay National Park is one of Alaska's treasures. More than 350,000 visitors come to the park each year. Currently, there is no single place for them to go to learn about the park resources, native inhabitants, and spectacular…

My amendment would have imposed liability only if the manufacturer sold a server that was non-Y2K compliant by itself after the date of enactment of this act. My amendment would not apply to a Y2K compliant server that failed due to the…

I am sure that will send a strong message over to the House on the merits of addressing the needs of the Aleut people of King Cove who seek what we enjoy every day--and that is access.

I wonder if there is any reference in any material, as he suggests, that we are going to spend $20 million or $30 million for a road? I am sure he is aware there is no appropriation requested for any amount.

I can tell you right now, there is no way that the value of this product would allow it to be shipped out by aircraft. The only thing that we have that would closely approximate that value is the king crab fresh, but it is very, very…

I think, Mr. President, the Senator from Tennessee would also be interested in knowing that there is no such thing currently as ground link communications in King Cove and that communications are by satellite. As one person recently put…

According to the draft study by our State of Alaska, Mr. President, the average flight delay from King Cove--I think it was cited by the senior Senator, Senator Stevens--is approximately 8 hours. If a patient has a heart attack, stroke, or…

One of the reasons the people from King Cove are, of course, pushing for access is that when a serious injury occurs, they understand that treatment has to be obtained in a relatively short period of time, in some cases immediately. Many…

If I may ask this: Does the Senator know where that road actually is that he showed there? I have never seen anything like it. I don't know where it is.

The U.S. Weather Bureau notes that Cold Bay is the third most windy city in the United States; the third most rainy, with 226 inches; and it is the cloudiest; and for 305 days a year it is cloudy in King Cove-Cold Bay.

With the expectation that all the parties to the Adak exchange will sign an agreement within the next few weeks, it is also my hope that the Conference Committee on S. 2312 would consider the inclusion of the language ratifying the…

This amendment will apply only to fishing industry vessels such as catcher-boats, catcher-processors, mothership processors and fish tender vessels. Other types of vessels to which the rule applies, such as cargo and passenger ships, will…

I think it is fair to recognize another thing though: That two-thirds of the world's population, or thereabouts, are under some type of sanctions or threatened sanction by the United States. I think the question we have to ask ourselves…

I, again, call on the President to insist that the Chinese Government renounce the threat of the use of force against Taiwan and take great effort to clarify that our position in support of Taiwan and our commitment to Taiwan has not…

Relative to powerplants, let me advise the President there are safety and economic advantages to having 1 central storage facility rather than 80. I think my colleagues would agree on the other side. Throughout the debate, we keep hearing…

The U.S. commitment to reconstruct the Alcan is only logical. The Alcan is an international highway from one part of the United States to another. It is considered as a national defense highway, and it is of direct benefit not only to…

Would the chairman seek in conference to try and match the House level of $2 million and try to preserve flexibility for the Department of Energy to support other cost-sharing projects looking at ways to convert natural gas to liquids?

I understand that some of the additional funds Congress has added may be used by the Department of Energy to fund an $84 million cost-shared private research project for the development of a process for commercialization of a ceramic…

As a consequence of the discussion we have had, it is my understanding that we have been able to address many of the concerns associated with the discussion on the $1.6 billion from oil leases from offshore Alaska. So it is my intention to…

Yet, the Senator from Arkansas says it is a ``technical'' matter and of no consequence.

I ask my learned colleague if he thinks that the constitutional matters are strictly in the realm of technical matters and are of no consequence, which is what the Senator from Arkansas inferred? This is a constitutional point of order, is…

I would like to obtain his understanding regarding how the periodic reevaluation will affect those secondary uses that are authorized for longer than 10 years.

I wonder if she meant to say that, in the new ninth circuit, there would be 63 percent new cases and 53 percent judges, and in the twelfth circuit, there would be 37 percent new cases and 42 percent judges, which are the figures that we…
