HJR 9-ENDORSING ANWR LEASING
3:30:58 PM
CHAIR GIESSEL announced HJR 9 to be up for consideration.
3:31:08 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO moved to bring SCS HJR 9(RES), version 29-
LS0408\H, before the committee as the working document.
CHAIR GIESSEL objected for discussion purposes. She said there
are two changes. The first change was on page 1, lines 8-11, to
more specifically cite the provisions of the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act. The second change was also on
page 1, lines 12-14, that specifically cites the status and
purpose of the Coastal Plain in ANILCA.
3:32:18 PM
SENATOR MICCICHE joined the committee.
SENATOR STOLTZE joined the committee.
REPRESENTATIVE TALERICO, Sponsor of HJR 9, said he approved of
the changes in the committee substitute (CS) and was available
for questions.
CHAIR GIESSEL removed her objection and SCS HJR 9(RES), version
29-LS0408\H, was adopted.
3:33:36 PM
ROBERTA HIGHLAND, representing herself, Homer, Alaska started
with the following quote from John Schwieder:
Wild Alaska's continued existence is at the
discretion, grace, and humility of humans. I pray
Alaska remains a beacon, a geography of hope, not only
for wild-eyed wilderness seekers, but for the future
generations as proof that humans truly believe that
all living creatures are connected.
She urged them to show the leadership that is needed to get out
of the crisis the state is in. Thousands of Alaskans continue to
want to have the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) remain a
refuge.
3:36:27 PM
CHAIR GIESSEL, finding no further comments, closed public
testimony.
3:36:40 PM
SENATOR COGHILL said there is a wildlife refuge and a wilderness
refuge and the wilderness refuge is overtaking the wildlife
refuge. It's only reasonable that the federal government would
allow the 1002 area to be at least looked at with some degree of
exploration.
3:38:03 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO moved to report SCS HJR 9 (RES) from committee
with individual recommendations and attached zero fiscal note.
There were no objections and it was so ordered.
