M- i'll need an update on Ron Miller's progress with AIDEA issues (I've never heard from
him in almost a year), esp status report on $800g energy study that's now going on two-
years being behind. Have him send me that aspect of a progress report today, it shouldnt
take him long to jot an email letting me know what he's done to get the utilities to work
together and present that study so I don't have to veto the railbelt energy funds again.

Good tour of Curry Ridge. This alternate route doesnt have the opposition the original
route had. As long as we're not cutting off winter motorized access in the area then we
need to plug in the $7 million for the road to match the Fed funds and Borough

Makes perfect sense to have a TV» in the kitchen; I'm surprised we
didn't have one sooner!
I checked and there »s not a cable, but am told that it's pretty easy to
drop one down into the kitchen. I'll proceed with GCI and getting a TV
:)

Hi El Forgot to ask if there's a tv cable in the kitchen - if so can we
get a small kitchen tv in there? We do seem to spend a lot of time in
that room!
Thanks much

In that light... Randy tells me that the Mayor and Rick Svobodny (head of the criminal
division) will be on Ch. 11 tonight. The Mayor is still criticizing the state for poor
performance in regard to our district attorney's office. Rick has the statistics to show
he is wrong and will be factual in his response. (Same statistics Talis shared with us
previously that show we are taking more municipal cases that we were four years ago) .

Siibject: poll
I googled and found a Dittraan poll for Murk in August 2006 referenced on Kyle's blog.
Dittman poll (updated)
Posted hy thetrail
Posted; August 14, 2006 - 3:17 pm
Dave Dittman, the longtime Anchorage pollster who worked on Murkowski's campaign earlier
in the race, finished a poll on the Republican primary last night.
He says he surveyed people who are eligible to vote on the Republican ballot and voted in
the party's primary in 2004, {Except for a fraction - 7 percent - who have registered
since 2004 and say they'll vote Aug. 22) .
PRA GSP01 0005071
Dittman says he didn't conduct the poll for any particular candidate and that the sample
size is about 500 people. His results are similar to the recent Rasmussen Reports numbers:
Pal in: 40 percent
Binkley; 29 percent
Murkowski: 17 percent
Dittman writes: "Fourteen percent (14%) are still undecided with a week remaining before
the election, however a demographic analysis of the undecided voters estimates that if the
election were held today, Palin would receive 46%, Binkley 34% and Murkowski 20%.

SiXbject; Trial
From Kyle Hopkins at the federal courthouse --
Pollster David Dittman took the stand again after lunch, as the jury looked at a list of
three or four Veco-paid polls that he conducted in 2006.
One of those polls cost $20,000 and was for then Gov. Frank Murkowski. Dittman said the
poll was initiated by Murkowski or his chief of staff, Jim Clark, and paid for by Veco.

Governor,
I just talked to Steve and provided him additional background information. He said that
so far, he has been unable to reach Lyda. I let him know that I spoke with Lyda and made
offers in numerous formats to help provide the Legislature information on our proposal.
PRA GSP01 0005074
how we came to that decision and why we think it is best for Alaska. I also told him that
since there was not much interest, I requested the assistance of other members of
leadership to schedule meetings before and during special session so we could speed up the
educational process and help have a more successful session, I also offered to a number
of other leadership members our willingness to sit down and walk them through additional
information. Some are individually interested. I let him know that in addition to my
calls, Russ had been in contact with Lyda. He was very thankful for the information.

The team is working on the following draft agenda
The draft outline:
I. Intro by GOV
II. Where we've been
III. Why ACES?
IV. What legislators need from the administration to evaluate ACES
V. General Q&A
Except the introduction, Pat and Marcia will walk through the agenda.
Regarding the Senate, Russ talked to Lyda Green and extended an invitation to hold a
similar briefing for the Senate, I*yda did not see flying legislators to a briefing as a
good use of resources prior to a bill being prepared. Russ will follow up today by
sending Lyda an email offering to hold a group meeting if they desire. We will point out
the House ' s interest in learning how we got to where we are and that we could do the same
for the Senate prior to the bill being ready for distribution.

PRA GSP01 0005089
Dave Dittman, the longtime Anchorage pollster who worked on Murkowski's campaign earlier
in the race^ finished a poll on the Republican primary last night.
He says he surveyed people who are eligible to vote on the Republican ballot and voted in
the party's primary in 2004. (Except for a fraction - 7 percent — who have registered
since 2004 and say they'll vote Aug. 22) .
Dittman says he didn't conduct the poll for any particular candidate and that the sample
size is about 500 people. His results are similar to the recent Rasmussen Reports numbers:
Palin: 40 percent
Binkley: 29 percent
Murkowski: 17 percent
Dittman writes: "Fourteen percent (14%) are still undecided with a week remaining before
the election, however a demographic analysis of the undecided voters estimates that if the
election were held today, Palin would receive 46%, Binkley 34% and Murkowski 20%*

Governor Palin. Commissioner Kreitzer, Ivy, and Erika,
I wanted to formally thank you for the wonderful reception last Friday. It was a perfect project recognition event.
A rare opportunity for work to be recognized by executives, plus enjoy refreshments in the charming Governor's
residence. The team members felt appreciated, and we were comfortable in the gracious and hospitable
atmosphere you created. It was very memorable for us, and we appreciated it.
Regards,

RE: Aces and Media
Governor,
Following up on Mike's note... Our plan is to be very open with the legislators about the
process we went through and the information we provided to you. We will describe the
teams, the direction they were given, and the results they came up with. Marcia Davis,
Dep. Commissioner, will discuss the "econ" team that crunched the numbers on various
projects and looked at gross vs net options; Jon Iversen, Tax Director, will describe the
"admin" team who came up with the needed improvements to the net-based options, I will
then explain how we came up with the various parts of the ACES proposal.
If you are able to attend, I think a valuable message would be a reminder of our openness
and willingness to work with the legislators on this proposal.

I am forwarding an email from Barbara Thompson that summarized Glenn's requests to the state. You asked me to
give Glenn a call and I am happy to but I wanted to ask you if I could talk to you tomorrow when I am up there first.
The Board meeting is Friday where his group will be able to offer testimony and request the board discuss the issues
below at their work session. Also, he will ask me to commit to making these changes. I know you responded that you
are with him philosophically but he will push for me to commit to specific proposals. One is a significant policy
question that is much more than an equity issue (I can tell you that Carol Comeau is concemed and will be attending
the Friday board meeting to listen to Glenn) and another is a signifRcant legal issue that would require the Department
of Law to reverse a pre\flOus opinion. Anyway, I am concemed that in my effort to discuss hfs issues, he will be quick
to go to the Board on Friday and testify that he has the Governor's full support for these proposals.
I would be happy to call him as I committed but would you be OK if I talked to you tomorrow first?

The two major items that Mr. Biegel and the Alaska Home Educators Alliance (AHEA) would like changed
appear to be;
1 . Remove the 15% cap on expenditures for music, fine arts and physical education. Currently, 4 AAC
33.42 l(m) places a limit for expenditures for music, fine arts, and physical education at 15% of the
Base Student Allocation (which is currently $5,380). (15% of the BSA equals $807). Since most
statewide correspondence programs offer program "fund allotments'* of @ $2,000 per student, up to
$807 of that allotment could be spend on music, fine arts, and/or physical education.
2. Allow parents to use privately purchased religious materials/curriculum for their child's instruction.
Currently, parents may purchase religious materials (or any other materials they choose) to supplement
materials approved and purchased by the school district's Statewide Correspondence Program. The
2005 Attorney General's Opinion speaks to the use of religious materials and Mr. Biegel/AHEA
believe this opinion is in error.
I have heard that when Mr. Biegel spoke on the radio last week that he said that all they (AHEA) want is to
get a hearing with the State Board, Mr. Biegel and homeschooling parents and students provided public
comment at the Board's June meeting and will again have the opportunity to provided comment, written and
oral, at the Bo^d meeting on September 21st, as well as anytime in the future.
Ifyou need or want more information, let me know! Thanks, Lynne. BAT

The team is working on the following draft agenda:
The draft outline:
I. Intro by GOV
II. Where we've been
III. Why ACES?
IV. What legislators need from the administration to evaluate ACES
V. General Q&A
Except the introduction, Pat and Marcia will walk through the agenda.
Regarding the Senate, Russ talked to Lyda Green and extended an invitation to hold a
similar briefing for the Senate. Lyda did not see flying legislators to a briefing as a
good use of resources prior to a bill being prepared. Russ will follow up today by
sending Lyda an email offering to hold a group meeting if they desire. We will point out
the House's interest in learning how we got to where we are and that we could do the same
for the Senate prior to the bill being ready for distribution.

Governor,
Following up on Mike's note... Our plan is to be very open with the legislators about the
process we went through and the information we provided to you. We will describe the
teams, the direction they were given, and the results they came up with. Marcia Davis,
Dep. Commissioner, will discuss the "econ" team that crunched the numbers on various
projects and looked at gross vs net options; Jon Iversen, Tax Director, will describe the
"admin" team who came up with the needed improvements to the net-based options. I will
then explain how we came up with the various parts of the ACES proposal.
If you are able to attend, I think a valuable message would be a reminder of our openness
and willingness to work with the legislators on this proposal.

Governor,
We checked this morning and Barbara Thompson did send the letter on Friday to Sec. Spellings. I am forwarding
you an email from Executive Director Diane Banrans of the Postsecondary Education Commission that provide
more clarification on the DOE regs and legislation. Also Matt Zency called Diane today asking question regarding
the differences between Alaska (ACPE) and other lending institutions. After speaking with Matt, she feels that the
story will be positive.

Subject: RE: Letter
Mike is correct, Lynne. There is some relationship between what is happing In terms of regulation USDOE is
promulgating, legislation coming out of Congress, and the communication with both USDOE and members of
congress.
For the last two years there has been significant focus in DC on the federal education loan program (FFELP) and
concems about inappropriate FFELP lender behavior that either increases program costs or leaves students and
their families vulnerable as a result of inappropriate relationships between lenders and institutions. This scrutiny
has resulted in both statutory and regulatory efforts to resolve the troubling issues. The concem for Alaska is that
in the effort to improve the program's structure to better: 1) control costs to tax payers; and, 2) protect the
consumer, there should be consideration of our real-life situation where it is a state agency (not a for-profit bank)
acting as a one-stop financial aid shop for students in and from our state. The rules do not contemplate the
existence of an entity like the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education which is solely focused on
residents' and state needs and which passes every cent of federal subsidy received through the program on to
our borrowers. Entities like ACPE are very unique and the media has been miopic by failing to acknowledge that
we exist.
We are currently working on a press release that will raise some of these issues and try to heighten awareness at
least here In the state. I have also been working closely with John Katz' staff in DC to try to improve the
awareness within the beltway that we're out here and delivering services to students and their families in what I
believe to be the best possible public service model.
As you know we have our "Big Picture" budget meeting tomorrow and I will be happy to provide more information
then if Mike or you would like to continue the discussion.
Just as an FYI-Alaska's model is one with which USDOE leadership and certainly key Senate staffers are
familiar. ACPE's federal education loans are provided at the lowest rate in the nation because of our structure
and public purpose mission. We are viewed as "good actors" but unfortunately all of the really big players within
the federal education loan program are the ones at which the new rules are targeted.

My read of the article is that it is related. The letter was focused on rules being considered by the US Dept of Education and
the article was focused on Congressional action. It looks like both efforts are aimed are eliminatmg excess profits by lenders
at the disadvantage of students. The article mentions reduced rates which Alaska already offers; however they look like
discounts beyond what we offer. I can get a comparison of the regs verses the legislation from Postsecondary Education that
will help.

I've CC'd Randy so he can run point for the gov's office on this issue. I know he planned to call you and

It is time to call for Ben's outster from that position. A short comment on this is long overdue, and now
that Ben's been named as one who was bribed (duh,..), it's irresponsible of me NOT to call for him to step

There's no "separation of powers" issue to respect here as there is with calling for the unindicted Cowdery

Any interest in having the governor visit the terminal or SERVS while she's in Valdez
tomorrow? Mainly an inquiry from some of our employees in Valdez who heard she was coming
to the Civic Center to make the big PFD announcement.
Let me know if there is interest. We'd be happy to show her around

Lyda called and asked me whether I had had any recent conversations related to a coup. She
said I had been seen "with a certain individual." I told her X had just completed a road
trip with Gene Therriault through his district (schools, troopers, roads, etc) And that
no conversation like that came up.
She asked further whether I knew anyone in the Administration who was having such
discussions, . .and I was able to say no. She's extremely uncomfortable at this moment. Just
thought you all should know.

Sheeeesh - I went on AK GOP website last night. Ben is STILL the GOP National

represent the party nationally.
It is time to call for Ben's outster from that position. A short comment on this is long
overdue, and now that Ben's been named as one who was bribed (duh...), it's irresponsible
of me NOT to call for him to step down.
There's no "separation of powers" issue to respect here as there is with calling for the

Good morning, Mike— Senator Kookesh asked what was happening with the position? At the Native Forum in
May, the Governor told the group that she would work on getting someone on board during the summer. Will
there be someone before AFN? Did you get a chance to look at the resumes and names we fon/varded up to the

Dear Dan,
I did hear from the compliance department this morning and they would only approve the appointment to the
position if I abstained from every investment decision. That would render me pretty useless as a Trustee/Board
Member. Given that, I regretfully request that you pull my name from any list of candidates that is currently being
put forward to Governor Palin. It has been an honor to even be considered, and it may be something I
could/would pursue in my retirement. Best of luck in filling this very important position.
Thank you,

Subject: Events today
Commonwealth North Board Meeting/Wally Hickel: I spoke to this group this morning in an informal q and a
session around the breakfast table. Gov. Hickel commented that he was glad to see you in Talkeetna over the
weekend. Very warm reception.
UAA-Whitney and I met with Fran Ulmer today and a few University types to solidify things on a University review
of elections touch screen equipment and scanners. Phase 1 will be $50,000 of federal HAVA funds and they
have already begun to reach out to experts at UC Davis and in Florida. A full study will cost a lot more, but in the
next four weeks they will use this money from Elections to put fon^^ard a review plan, provide opportunity for
public input (electronic), etc. I can fill you in more if you want; I just wanted you to know we're on track to begin
the third party review.
UAA regents-Fran asked me to step into the regents' meeting and say a few words. I told them about us reaching
out to the University for help with Elections issues which they appreciated. Also, Mark Hamilton asked about how
we viewed the University's efforts to move fonward with missions & measures (which Karen Rehfeld now temris
"performance measures"). He remembers me championing this stuff when I was co-chair of Sen. Fin. I told him
we very much cared about results and that government programs, including University endeavors, that could
demonstrate measurable results for the public had a greater likelihood of surviving the budget process. Friendly
meeting. I've got more to add from a talk yesterday with Dana Fabe but I'll put it in a different email later.

Subject: RE: Mat Maid Debt
Thanks Tom. I've copied Kristan on this email as she was not aware
either. Considering that the Governor's office is critiqued daily on
this via Halcro and all the radio shows, and that we are often finding
ourselves in the position of having to respond; please ask your folks to
include us in the notification of these type of requests and/or exchange
of information so we're not blindsided. Kristan, as Chair, should also
be included on all correspondence as she is the one spending countless
hours each day on this matter.
I agree we should meet sooner rather than later. Kristan is awaiting a
status report on action items from Joe Austerman. I think a written
status and plan would be helpful for the meeting. We are also working
on the financials and don't expect them until Friday. Meeting prior to
that would not do us any good. I request that we keep the meeting to a
very small group and that you and I discuss the attendees.

PRA GSP01 0005163
On another note, Kristan has run into numerous stumbling blocks within
the state trying to obtain help for an audit. Kristan, Mike Tibbies
called Karen Rehfeld - our 0MB Director - for me today and they're on
it.
Also, Kristan reported today that we have had 10 written letters of
interest and several phone calls.
I really hate that you have to be bothered with this while you're out of
town, I'm sorry. Please give my best to Sharon.

Subject: Counter the MATMAID
He says "they" have now projected a $3-plus million loss of MatMaid, putting this "way
above any losses with Murkowski's jet", says Rydell.
Again, unless we get out ahead on correcting MatMaid misinformation, this issue becomes
the new proverbial bridge -to -nowhere, or becomes equivilant to Frank's jet issue.
The problem there is Alaskans will distrust that the Ag and MatMaid decisions we make are
based on economics, and what's best for Alaska.,, instead of being led to believe
decisions are being made out of stubborness and emotion.

Crim Justice
Dana Pabe called me two days ago to ask if I would chair the crim justice working group.
Talis' concern had been that the chief j had designated Stephanie Cole to serve in her
stead, so Talis designated Rick Svobodny. Talis also had said he would serve if the Chief
would actually serve- -we didn't like that it felt like exec branch officials would be
reporting to the Chief Justice.
Dana was mortified when I told her that's how we had perceived or heard the invite as it
originally came to Talis. I asked Dana if she would personally serve and she agreed to.
She still wants me to chair or cochair it (which I can do) .
I still have to talk with Walt. I am not as concerned anymore about the possibility of
this driving your agenda. It will be a lower key informally mtg group with no formal votes
or reports. Just a chance for people across the justice system to meet together about four
times yearly. I spoke with Talis about it yesterday. Seems ok with serving on the
committee .
Also, I filled in Randy Ruaro yesterday on what I've gathered and heard and plugged him
into the working group notification cycle so he can be at any meetings. I will likely go
ahead and try to chair or co chair the group. (After I talk with Walt.)
In Galena today. Back around 4:30.

FYI, we had two Board resignations from ANGDA - Andy Warwick & Bob Stinson today over the new Public
Office Financial Disclosure forni. They both said that disclosing individual inconne from clients and/or their
spouses was too onerous for them. Andy was concerned that he'll violate his client's privacy by disclosing how
much they paid him for doing their taxes, etc. We'll likely see Favretto resign as well.
IVe told folks that bring this up that any change will have to come from the Legislature and that I don't see any
type of fix on the near horizon.
I do know that Dave Jones is looking at this and making sure that APOC is on firm footing in how they're handling
it. I'll continue to stay in contact with Dave on It.

Dear Governor Palin,
Attached is my comment letter to the joint Boards of Game and Fisheries regarding their proposal to limit
public participation.
I am particularly disgusted with the Board of Game's lack of serious consideration of the broad interest of
the public. I am sick of them thumbing their respective noses at the public.
The BOG views the public as nothing more than obstacles to overcome rather than as meaningful and
helpful participants in the process of developing sound regulatory policy that is in the broad public
interest.
You can help, through your influence as governor and through your appointment powers, to make this a
fair and balanced board.
Thank you.

MESSAGE :
CONGRETIONAL LETTER FOR SARAH PALIN I mrnAwai ting a response to my letter written on the
9th of Sept. 2007. My Daughter Private Amelia Cameron is coming soon from AIT fort Lee in
Virginia and they are chaptering her out and in 90 days can make a dession on weither to
stay in the army or leave it. Meanwhile nothing is being done about her mental state from
the army for the abuse that has been take place in the past from both Anchorage base or
Virginia base. No one has shown they are repersenting her as of yet in the PERKINS case in
Anchorage, Now they have postponed the Perkins case at Fort Richardson without Amelia
knowing why or what or anything. She also has not recieved and pay since before she left
on AIT in Virgina as they say they have lost her papers. To many things happening here to
ignore the ignorance of the army and my daughters well being. What is going to happen if
my daughter leaves the forces, WHY is she not getting any counseling through the army to
help her !
process this abuse. She has been place many times in the mental hospital in Virginia AT
fort Lee for trying to cut on herself. She is crying out for help, I lost my daughter 4
times in one night from trying to committ suicide over this matter with Perkins. She is
not being informed , repersented, and now they are telling her she can just get outl???
This is how the ARMY deals with there female abused soldiers??? Again I do not know what
else to do but continue to put this out there. Someone has to step up to the plate. If my
daughter leaves? What about her diagnosis of post tramatic stress syndrome and becoming
bi- polar over all that Perkins has put her tlirough. They are not even talking about
getting her help if she leaves any kind of funding for her. Even our soldiers returning
from the war get what she deserves right now from having symtoms PTS and Bi-Plor, Are they
just gonna shove her under the rug? forget about what has happen to her through all this.
She was a strong!

woman full of life and now dwiddling into a lose of self andl
distruction. Again I plee, I dont want to loose my daughter. I know this proubly is not a
Gonvenor issue. But she has to know where to send this talk to something to get this out
to needs to hear iti PLEASE I Gov. Palin. PLEAEi get this out to the Sentors. I was told if
I was writting a Congretional letter it was to be reponded to within 10 days. But I havent
even heard anything from the Senetors from Alaska or Virginia. I don't know what you think
or the people that process this think. A raging mother? A crazed woman? Well wouldnt all
you be and do the same for your children? What has happened and happening to my daughter
is unjust and just plain not right or fair. I know you are busy running our state. But
what if this was one of your daughters. Please GOD, I am loosing my mind with my daughter
in Virginia and I cant even be there to help her through all this. Get me into contact
with who can do something about this. I am helpless here and her father and I are the only
one !
s supporting her in this. I am so discusted with the way our woman are being treated in
the military and getting away with it. I am making a stand fro them all. Please refere to
my previous letter sent on the 9th of Sept. and let me know what where, anything. Someone
let me kow they are listening to my daughters cry for survival. She was willing to put her
life up to insure our safty here in America and Alaska. Who is will to help her? Thank you
again. Karen Cameron

Governor,
Several things to cheer you up a bit during a tough week:
1) Within the past 10 days 3 totally unrelated Alaskans have told me to tell you
what a great job you are doing t I think you make Alaskans proud to have you at the helm.
These individuals were;
a. My cleaning lady, Shelly Cullumber;
b. The woman who took my x-rays during a physical on Monday, in preparation for my
eye surgery;
c. A nurse, as she was rolling me into Providence's day surgery operating room
yesterday; &
2) The attached photo from November 8th, 2006, the day after the general election.
This is a photo of Kara Moriarty, who works for AOGA, two hours before she gave birth,

We received it on Friday. I forwarded it to the Department of Revenue folks to make sure
our presentation for legislators on Tuesday would address the question.
The same question was asked on Tuesday by Rep. Gara--and you answered directly that
administration officials will be free to explain how we got to ACES and that our experts
will be free to comment directly and freely.

For Immediate Release; September 20, 2007
Senator French Asks Governor to Make the Special Session More Open and Transparent
(ANCHORAGE) - Sen. Hollis French (D - Anchorage) is asking Gov. Sarah Palin to make the
upcoming special session on oil taxes even more open and transparent. French recently sent
a letter to the governor asking for more information on how her oil tax team settled on a
hybrid tax system instead of a gross tax. Senator French's letter asks the governor to
allow administration officials to present details of the arguments and counter-
arguments that were discussed within the administration.
"-""l share the governor's coraraitTfient to stop the politics-as-usual approach in Juneau.
Having her oil tax team talk about how they decided on a hybrid tax over a simple,
understandable gross tax helps the legislature and the public understand why they came to
the decision they did."
When the legislature passed a net profits tax last year, officials with the previous
administration were not permitted to take a public position on any other petroleum tax
plan. Senator French believes that caused more harm than good and would like to see the
Palin administration avoid the same mistake.
During her gubernatorial campaign, Governor Palin endorsed a gross tax on oil production
When the administration released her ACES plan, the governor stated she was dragged
"kicking and screaming" into accepting the ACES plan instead of a gross tax.
Senator French and many other legislators believe a gross tax with sensible credits that
spur new oil production is the best deal for the state and will strengthen its
relationship with the oil industry for many decades to come.
A copy of the letter is attached. For more information, contact Senator French at (907)
269-0234.

Still trying to sit down with it- 1 have to today in between mtgs.
Pis be thinking how to message back to Hollis who is insisting he knows there is interna! dissent on ACES. Part of
the response is: he needs to provide specifics as his allegations are political and unfair unless he names names so I
can deal with this issue - if there is an issue. If there isnt he needs to quit stirring up doubts and just deal with ACES
on its merits. There is no gag order and I hope staff will publicly debate this,
I hate the politics in this, as ACES is too imp to be messmg around with and I don't want anyone holding back if
they have disagreements witii the proposal.
But please dont let anyone talk you into just letting this slide, and go unanswered. We do too much of that and then
we have to "react" aggressively and try to unring a bell that critics have rung. Let's get on top of this one and I've
asked Russ to call Hollis this morning, but Hollis has been so public about this the past few days we owe it to the
public to answer Hollis' accusations.

Dear Beth,
Thank you so much for your message and for our delightful conversation. You have
made my day. The lOGCC is so very lucky to have Gov. Palin as its chairman and I
know the organization will serve her well.
I arrive in New Orleans tomorrow at a little after 4 in the afternoon and should be at the
Omni Hotel by 5. There is no problem in accommodating the Governor's schedule on
Monday. Victor will be able to present the Stewardship Awards, and Gov. Hoeven will
be there as well to present them, so that will be just fine from our end.
I am copying this to Gerry Baker, the associate executive director, and to Erica Carr, our
communications manager, who will get a draft press release to you. Gerry*s cell
number is 405-664-7362 and he is already at the hotel, as is Erica. If for some odd
reason my cell phone is not ringing through, Gerry may be available. We will have an
lOGCC office set up in the Hotel by tomorrow morning when we can assist the
Governor with any clerical needs and the location of the lOGCC office will be listed with
the hotel.
My Blackberry will also be on, so I can get any e-mail communications you send
(usually!). I'm certain there will be good cell service in new Orleans.
Thanks for all of your work this afternoon. The Governor is served by a very dedicated
and efficient woman!

Dear Christine:
On behalf of Governor Sarah Palin, I am pleased to inform you that she is honored to
accept the chairmanship of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission and be
presented as the new chairman at the annual meeting on Monday, Sept. 24 in New
Orleans,
She will plan to present her speech as scheduled on Monday, however she will need to
leave the hotel no later than 11:30 a.m. We need to change the order of the program so
that the MOU could be signed BEFORE the chairman's awards are given. As her departure
would conflict, we would need Victor Carillo to continue to be the person to present those

How does he figure I was told it may be illegal to give Minnesota the $?
Fyi- but donnt let dillion engage us in a tit for tat with Don Young - Don told me not to
think about giving the money back to congress. The Minnesota bridge collapse timing of
this was that bridges were again in natl news so i called him to ask if the feds were
going to foe able to fund the rest of gravina 's project. He said there wouldnt be earmarks
for it, i told him it couldnt be DOT'S priority.
But dont let dillon make you get in a tit for tat with don. Our dc office with John katz
has discussed this issue with the delegations staff, they've surely been aware of the
state's priorities esp after hearing of leo's presentation to ketchikan this summer.

Subject: Gravina calcs
Originally 3 federal earmarks ($100M, $75M, $48M) dedicated to Gravina. Of the
three major earmarks, only two were changed by Sec, 186/ PL 109-115 in December 2005. the
third earmark was specifically directed to the road work associated with the bridge (Sec.
1702 #3323) and according to FHWA interpretation, may only be used for that purpose.
Two ($100M and $75M) of the 3 were ""un earmarked" and become ''flexible" funds
subject to regulatory distribution between National Highway System (48% - Gravina Bridge
is eligible only for this), Alaska Highway System roads, community roads and trails and
recreational access. The department was directed by the previous Governor to give the
maximum amount of funds possible to Gravina. Under regulations we are rec[uired to adhere
to as a member of the federal highway system, that meant distributing 48 percent of these
so-called "flexible" funds to NHS projects. You can find a much more laborious explanation
of this at 17 AAC 05.155-200.
Additionally only 85% of the amount is actually available for a state to spend
based on federal appropriations, that is known as the obligation limit.
$100M X 48% X 85% = $40. 8M
$ 75M X 48% X 85% = $30,6M
PRA GSP01 0005234
$71. 4M
That $71,4 million comes to Alaska in unequal increments over a five-year period
However about $8 million had to obligate by end of FFY 06 and was spent on other
"flexible fund" eligible projects.
That leaves roughly $63 million. Three-fifths (third appropriation from the five-
year life of the bill) of that works out to be about $36 million, which is what we have on
hand today.
The $48M earmark is actually 85% of total plus match - $44.5. This was earmarked
specifically for access road work on the Gravina Island side and is not available for any
Other project.
$14 million* in earmarks from TEA-21 spent between 1998 - 2004 on the NEPA required
EIS
$6 million of GF was appropriated for replacement of the airport ferry by the state
legislature for FY08. That is state General Fund money and not reflected in the federal
funds above.
$398 million need for build out in 2012 (inflationary estimate) .
Below are the three "gravina" earmarks in SAFETEA-LU. (The $100 and $48 million
earmarks were earmarked from regular formula funds)

PRA GSP01 0005254
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senator Murkowski today issued the following statement regarding the
State's decision to shutdown the Gravina Island bridge project:
*'The community of Ketchikan has made safe and reliable access to the airport a priority
for over 30 years. When the State of Alaska requested resources to build a bridge, the
Congressional Delegation worked hard to secure funding.
It is unfortunate for the people of Ketchikan that the State has chosen to reprioritize
its support of this project.
I look forward to working with the State to provide the people of Ketchikan an opportunity
for economic growth and safe and efficient access to their airport."

senator murkowski issues statement on the shutdown of the gravina island bridge project
WASHINGTON, D,C. - Senator Murkowski today issued the following statement regarding the
State's decision to shutdown the Gravina Island bridge project:
"The community of Ketchikan has made safe and reliable access to the airport a priority
for over 30 years. When the State of Alaska requested resources to build a bridge, the
Congressional Delegation worked hard to secure funding.
It is unfortunate for the people of Ketchikan that the State has chosen to reprioritize
its support of this project.
I look forward to working with the State to provide the people of Ketchikan an opportunity
for economic growth and safe and efficient access to their airport."

Tom, Marty and I will be finalizing it in the next couple hours. Given the Hollis/Gara
incriminations of dissent, we feel that it would be best to have the letter go out under
all three of our names. It simply tells the story of how we went from pro-gross to
recognizing the hybrid approach as the best option.
I'll distribute our final version shortly and then it can be submitted by Beth and/or
Sharon ,

Still trying to sit down with it- I have to today in between mtgs.
Pis be thinking how to message back to Hollis who is insisting he knows there is internal
dissent on ACES. Part of the response is: he needs to provide specifics as his allegations
are political and unfair unless he names names so I can deal with this issue - if there is
an issue. If there isnt he needs to quit stirring up doubts and just deal with ACES on its
merits. There is no gag order and I hope staff will publicly debate this.
I hate the politics in this, as ACES is too imp to be messing around with and I don't want
anyone holding back if they have disagreements with the proposal.
But please dont let anyone talk you into just letting this slide, and go unanswered. We do
too much of that and then we have to "react" aggressively and try to unring a bell that

Subject: RE: Sen. French
I agree with all the previous statements, and I like Russ's suggested response.
In my two conversations with Hollis this morning, the rub was the difference between his
letter's call for an open presentation of the gross vs, net debate that took place within
the administration, and the reporters statement that "Sen. Hollis French said he knows
there are members of the Palin team who don't agree with her oil tax plan."
Hollis says that the reporter mischaracterized his letter, and that he was glad to hear
that there is currently no dissent ion. He did not currently know of any person who
disagreed, but he still wants to hear the details of the debate.
I told him I was disappointed with the way that his view was portrayed, and I'd appreciate
it if he would contact the reporter and tell him that he was misquoted. He resisted this
and said that the reporter just tweaked his letter to emphasize an aspect that would
heighten the perceived conflict. He said he thought the Governor came across well in the
story and we ' re " on the same page . "
I asked him to review the story on KTUU.com and decided if he was comfortable with the way
it was portrayed, because if I were him I'd want to clarify my position. He said he
would, but I did not get the impression that he expected to call the reporter.

Good quotes for Mollis.
It's not a matter of needing thicker skin tho, it ' s a matter of stating truth, firmly, so
Alaskans can trust our motives and actions. All too often we hear publicly something
that's spun political, it's our job to set it straight and then let Alaskans judge for
themselves. It won't be a knee-jerk reaction when we respond appropriately and timely to
anything we know is being used to deceive the public.
A reporter is meeting me in a few minutes on wolf control - but he'll no doubt ask about
ACES and politics, too.
Hollis laid out serious allegations about dissent from within. We'll now answer it.

why aren't we highlighting this as the split-causer in Lyda's coalition? They dont agree
on oil taxes, we're in the middle and we* re "to blame",.. The two of them should be
shooting at each other instead of us remaining in the middle getting shot, I'm trying to
get us out of the way and deal with ACES on it's merits.
But I cant do this without messaging opportunities being ignored, i wish i had more hours

Still trying to sit down with it- I have to today in between mtgs.
Pis be thinking how to message back to Hollis who is insisting he knows there is internal
dissent on ACES. Part of the response is: he needs to provide specifics as his allegations
are political and unfair unless he names names so I can deal with this issue - if there is
an issue. If there isnt he needs to quit stirring up doubts and just deal with ACES on its
merits. There is no gag order and I hope staff will pxxblicly debate this.
PRA GSP01 0005279
I hate the politics in this, as ACES is too imp to be messing around with and I don't
want anyone holding back if they have disagreements with the proposal.
But please dont let anyone talk you into just letting this slide, and go unanswered. We
do too much of that and then we have to "react" aggressively and try to unring a bell that
critics have rung. Let's get on top of this one and I've asked Russ to call Mollis this

When was the op ed submitted?
Pis let me know of today's opportunities to communicate back to Hollis and other leggies,
and the public, that there's no gag order. We need to make sure we don't preach to the
choir (internally) on this, but that allegations are dealt with in a truthful and public
manner - again, be Hollis is so public (as have been a few other leggies) in their
assumptions that ACES is causing friction within.
No doubt I'll be speaking to more reporters today - we could be proactive and get a rasg
out there before I'm asked to merely react again.

Ongoing Disaster in Kivalina - Need for Action Page 2 of 2
expensive project to relocate the AVEC tank farm in Kivalina, and In fact have received a
"Kivalina Emergency Transfer Plan" (attached) from ADEC appropriating $25,000 to assist us
in speeding up the fuel transfer if necessary. Of course, if the plan should be activated, ADEC
has informed us that we would be billed for any expenditures they might make.
The crux of the issue is that significant expenditures are being made by AVEC to respond to
this ongoing disaster and, despite the Northwest Arctic Borough's September 25**^ disaster
declaration, there has been no action on the state's part other than the above mentioned
action by ADEC.
By the attached latter, I am urging you to please take whatever action is necessary to assist
AVEC and the community of Kivalina to respond to the untenable situation that we are in.

Subject: State Highway Safety Plan - Deadline for submission to FHWA
Dear Governor:
Sorry to bother you in the midst of a very hectic day, but I needed to ask you about this because the deadline for
DOT to submit the State's proposed Highway Safety Plan is coming up next weel<. The Plan has to be signed
(which to me means approved) by the Governor or her designee (Leo Von Scheben).
Based on your earlier concerns, DOT amended the part of the plan saying the state will seek to pass legislation
making wearing motorcycle helmets mandatory to encourage motorcycle riders to wear helmets.
The only 2 other items I see that could cause major controversy:
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
I have asked DOT to hold off submitting the plan until close of business next Tuesday, so you would have time to
consider whether to ask them to delete or amend these.
Thanks
Randy-

This Is one of two conferences we host annually for PTA members specifically to set our

and presentations and then on Saturday the delegates will listen to content experts and
then set the wording of a priority through a parliamentary process. The Alaska PTA
Board of Managers represent 9000 members from all parts of the state and will use this
grassroots work to speak out on behalf of all Alaskan Students.

education task force, Michael PawlowskI (Rep Meyer's office) will give an over view of the
legislature and how a bill works It way through both houses and I am still looking for a
Senate speaker as Senator Davis will be returning from Seattle.
I have attached last year's priorities for reference. No doubt, education funding will still
be at the top of concerns as will the Public Schools Lands Trust and we believe that
concern about the state's graduation rate and skills training available for all students will

You know, don't feel bad. You have A LOT of decisions to make on a daily basis. Your job
would be impossible if you couldn't delegate. You did the right thing, and thought this

Talked to kyle and conveyed you were sympathetic to the way he found out and that you had
no intentions of springing anything on him or his constituents. He's pretty frustrated but
the good thing is he ended the conversation by saying he'd stay out of the press for a
while.
Specifically, he's mad about a couple of things:
1 he was caught off guard and found out via the press release
2 the presser was sent at Sam and it has the appearance that it was sent at that time to
catch natl interest
3 he spent 4 days in skagway w dot officials who never once mentioned this to him
4 the quote from dot in the press release that talks about the ferry system being a drain
on the state (or words to that effect)
5 dot requested ktn come up w cheaper alternatives to the current bridge project and ktn
has beenworking on that request, then dot says the original bridge funds will be spread
out across the state instead of staying in ktn- in sum, it was kind of like, if the money
isn't going towards the bridge it could still be used on other projects in ktn.
X have the sense he's most upset w dot, although he inferred he was upset by the way he
found out-he would have liked to hear from the administration.
I told him I wasn't in a position to offer anything but I did sincerely apologize for the
way he found out. I told him I knew you both before you were elected officials and I just
want to find a way for us all to move forward on a positive note. He was appreciative of
this. I told him I would convey his msg to you and that we'd go from there. He said he'd
call me tomorrow from anc after I talked to you.
Withou t knowing all of the ins and outs, he's pretty upset leo won't return his phone
calls.

Atleast he's going to stay out of the news-i thought that was a positive
step. Hope this helpsll!

Kyle was traveling until yesterday early afternoon, I left a message for him first thing
in the morning but he did not call back until about 2:00. I was able to reach Bert early
in the morning and he even admited to me that he knew the announcement was coming two days
ago. Even though Leo made his comments at the Ketchikan Chamber and were covered widely
by the news, they still argued that we were not clear, Bert restated this when I called
him back yesterday afternoon.
I talked to Mayor Williams yesterday and he requested a meeting with you preferably in
Ketchikan but he said he could travel if that was not possible.

Mike/Russ/Randy: Holy moly * Kyle Johanson's comments are as biting as Bert Stedman^s
were (in adn this morning) . When did you guys talk to them - when the presser was first
crafted on Monday? why do they say they were shocked yesterday?
Bert didn't sound as angry as "shocked" when I talked to him yesterday, but even that
surpsrised me because I'm assuming this was communicated to him at the beginning of the
week.
Also, as Sharon knows, the Stevens story grew legs NOT out of any "demand" I made for him
to talk to Alaskans, as KTUU reported last night. When asked three times in two days by
different reporters if I thought Stevens should talk about the investigation, I did say I
thought Alaskans want to hear any information he can provide, and it's appropriate and
deserved to give him the benefit of the doubt - and Alaskans get frustrated when he can't
or isn't providing information on his innocence.
It's very clear the adn reporter made my comments sound more inciteful than necessary. AP
report was more in context, but the headline was rough, I'm not "demanding" Stevens do
anything, just as I'm not "demanding" state senate leadership strip Cowdery of Rules - I
won't tell anyone what to do and I don't have the authority to do so anyway. These
questions have been impossible to avoid and I'll continue to give my opinion, but it's
unfortunate the Stevens comment is made to sound more controversial than I intended.

I think everyone had expected the press release, op-ed and press conference would be next
week, not this week. Randy had put together a very thorough checklist for the entire
operation -- for next week. Oh well.
But the real issue is why are you up so early, at work? At least for me it's almost 10
a.m. I hope the rest of your day is somewhat work- free.

Thank you very much, I appreciate your advice.
I assumed everyone had their marching orders from Monday on, as the leg liason group was
in on helping craft the press release - they were even physically in the Anchorage office
helping with the issue before heading back to Juneau - and they seemed anxious to have all
ducks in a row before releasing, so it took a few days longer than expected to get the
presser out... but obviously I should never assume, and this week was full of lessons
learned.
Ditto for media comments on the fellas this week. Lessons learned.
Thank you Larry. Kris just said again the other day after speaking with you that she,
too, is thankful you^re working with us, for Alaska. Don*t hesitate to advise, we
appreciate it.
Ahhhh, what a week. Of lessons learned.

Mike/Russ/Randy: Holy moly - Kyle Johanson's comments are as biting as Bert Stedraan^s
were (in adn this morning) . When did you guys talk to them - when the presser was first
crafted on Monday? Why do they say they were shocked. yesterday?
Bert didn't sound as angry as "shocked" when I talked to him yesterday, but even that
surpsrised me because I'm assuming this was communicated to him at the beginning of the
week.
Also, as Sharon knows, the Stevens story grew legs NOT out of any "demand" I made for him
to talk to Alaskans, as KTUU reported last night. When asked three times in two days by
different reporters if I thought Stevens should talk about the investigation, I did say I
thought Alaskans want to hear any information he can provide, and it*s appropriate and
deserved to give him the benefit of the doubt - and Alaskans get frustrated when he can't
or isn't providing information on his innocence.
It's very clear the adn reporter made my comments sound more inciteful than necessary, AP
report was more in context, but the headline was rough. I'm not "demanding" Stevens do
anything, just as I'm not "demanding" state senate leadership strip Cowdery of Rules - I
won't tell anyone what to do and I don't have the authority to do so anyway. These
questions have been impossible to avoid and I'll continue to give my opinion, but it's
unfortunate the Stevens comment is made to sound more controversial than I intended.

No idea until the day you decided to go forward and Mike said "Missed opportunities,
missed opportunities". My general sense was that this had been going on for weeks.
Here's the deal, if something had been planned for next week, why didn't Mike just say so,
"We have a plan for next week for this to go out?" Very simple... but 1 guess I*m just
missing something here.

Lots of emails this morn and I'm catching up, but I need to update you on the Board of Ed
meeting yesterday. What I witnessed was fairly surprising, I watched Pat get steamrolled
and treated badly by chair Esther Cox. It was not pretty and very clear that she was not
excited about the l.Shrs of testimony given by lots of parents around the state on
homeschooling .
I asked Glen on my way out if he had heard from Mike, and he had not yet. Its been a busy
week so I'll put a friendly bug in his ear on it.
I'll put something together for review with SOLUTIONS for the team to review. I had a
small mob of parents gather around me, thanking the Governor for being interested in
theirs concerns to have someone attend.

It*s very clear the adn reporter made my comments sound more inciteful than necessary. AP
report was more in context, but the headline was rough. I'm not "demanding" Stevens do
anything, just as I'm not "demanding" state senate leadership strip Cowdery of Rules - I
won't tell anyone what to do and I don't have the authority to do so anyway. These
questions have been impossible to avoid and I'll continue to give my opinion, but it's
unfortunate the Stevens comment is made to sound more controversial than I intended.

Mike/Russ/Randy: Holy moly - Kyle Johanson's comments are as biting as Bert Stedman's were
(in adn this morning) . When did you guys talk to them - when the presser was first crafted
on Monday? Why do they say they were shocked yesterday?
Bert didn't sound as angry as "shocked" when I talked to him yesterday, but even that
surpsrised me because I'm assuming this was communicated to him at the beginning of the
week .
Also, as Sharon knows, the Stevens story grew legs NOT out of any "demand" I made for hira
to talk to Alaskans, as KTUU reported last night. When asked three times in two days by
different reporters if I thought Stevens should talk about the investigation, I did say I
thought Alaskans want to hear any information he can provide, and it's appropriate and
deserved to give him the benefit of the doubt - and Alaskans get frustrated when he can't
or isn't providing information on his innocence.

I think everyone had expected the press release, op-ed and press conference would be next
week, not this week. Randy had put together a very thorough checklist for the entire
operation -- for next week. Oh well.
But the real issue is why are you up so early, at work? At least for me it's almost 10
a.m. I hope the rest of your day is somewhat work- free.
>>> "Palin, Sarah (GOV sponsored)" <govpalin@alaska.gov> 09/22/07 9:28 AM >>>
Thank you very much. I appreciate your advice.
I assumed everyone had their marching orders from Monday on, as the leg liason group was
in on helping craft the press release - they were even physically in the Anchorage office
helping with the issue before heading back to Juneau - and they seemed anxious to have all
ducks in a row before releasing, so it took a few days longer than expected to get the
presser out... but obviously I should never assume, and this week was full of lessons
learned .
Ditto for media comments on the fellas this week. Lessons learned.
Thank you Larry. Kris just said again the other day after speaking with you that she,

Kyle was traveling until yesterday early afternoon. I left a message for him first thing
in the morning but he did not call back until about 2:00. I was able to reach Bert early
in the morning and he even adraited to me that he knew the announcement was coming two days
ago. Even though Leo made his comments at the Ketchikan Chamber and were covered widely
by the news, they still argued that we were not clear, Bert restated this when I called
him back yesterday afternoon.
I talked to Mayor Williams yesterday and he requested a meeting with you preferably in
Ketchikan but he said he could travel if that was not possible.

Subject: Gravina
If the opportunity may come up to make one of these points:
The delegation has commented about funds "they worked so hard to secure."
Two thirds (66%) of those funds earmarked for the Gravina Bridge were formula funds
that would have come to the state regardless ($148 million of the $223 million in
Gravina earmarks)
For Ketchikan to say they worked hard to secure those funds is partially correct -
however most of those funds would have come to Alaska regardless, the earmark
designated they be used on the Gravina bridge
It is an important point that most of the earmarks for the bridges were formula funds, not
additional funds above the formula amounts we receive
• Two thirds (66%) of those funds earmarked for the Gravina Bridge were formula
funds
• As a comparison, 78% of the Knik earmarks were formula funds ($179 million of
the $229 million in Knik earmarks)
• In November 2005, congress stripped the requirement that the money be used for
either bridge project, letting the state spend it as we found appropriate (within our
statutes and regulations)
• The funds that were subsequently returned back to the bridges ($93 for Knik and
$71 for Gravina) are designated for National Highway System projects (NHS), and
the department (and therefore the Governor) has considerable discretion in
deciding on which projects those funds will be used.
To let the Gravina funds sit in a project that has no hope of getting full funding to
construct when they could be put to use on other needed projects is not responsible

Randy,
We presently have about $14 million in fed funds for the EIS and associated efforts, that
culminated in a Record Of Decision (ROD) for a preferred alternative for the Fl alignment
(the present $398 bridge) there is risk that if we do not re-open the ROD, in a proper
manner, consistent with the NEPA reguiremnets, and arrive at a new preferred alternative
that we will carry out, that we have to repay the $14 million to the feds. There can be
(and must be) good public input in this process.
We need to take some control of this process (something we are loathe to do) and steer it
toward an affordable and fiscally responsible alternative. If Williams and Whinestine
think we have inflated the estimate for Fl, let them pay for an estimate to refute ours.
This whole project got blown out of control because no one would tell KTN "no"
Our legal advice needs to come from FHWA, it is really their EIS, their process
What I told the KTN press, (radio) is that we need to reopen the ROD, rexamine the
alternatives and select a new, "fiscally responsible" alternative

Commissioner:
The questions from many in Ketchikan are where do we go from here? Bridge supporters want
a new EIS process and the chance to select a cheaper bridge alternative. But, a different
informal process limited to discussions with the community on improved ferry access would
be better in terms of focusing only on the ferry alternative and keeping the communities
expectations down.
PRA GSP01 0005394
Can we hold on any public comments that DOT will definitely go back and re -open the EIS
process (thereby getting the cheaper bridge supporters excited) until we get some legal
advice from LAW on the issues?
Perhaps the best comment from DOT until we get that legal advice is that DOT is reviewing
its options for working with the community to get better access to Gravina as directed by
the Governor,

Back in August, we were told by PFC that they decided not to hold an annual dinner at the
annual meeting this year. That meant that the traditional announcement venue wouldn't
occur. Because of that, we were told it was up to the Governor and Revenue how the
announcement would be made. I told them we would figure out a venue and make the
announcement. The plans for a September 19 announcement proceeded from there. It was the
last I heard from PFC, and I never got the impression that they felt slighted or had an
alternative venue .
The meeting starting tomorrow is in Fairbanks. I see on the agenda that they have a
"community reception" scheduled for Monday at 6, with "dinner on own" after that. I'll
check with PFC staff to see what may be the source of the Ear comment. If it seems
appropriate, I'll ask someone to contact Toomey with a correction.

It^s embarrassing to think we plaxaned an event "out from under them" - was it

I asked about this because I'd never paid attention to how the announcement was put

Governor :
Lew Williams Editorial and Senator Stedman and Representative Johansen's Comments.
The text of an editorial from Lew Williams that ran in the Ketchikan Daily News on
September 22, 2007, has been copied and pasted into this e-mail. Lew is as pro-bridge as
anyone in town. His editorial not only fails to express surprise or shock at the
Governor's decision it says Ketchikan should have expected it. Lew notes Commissioner Von
Scheben told the Chamber that a ferry system was the alternative he preferred and then
goes on to say:
'*The Assembly added options, including ferry service. ... The state has jumped on the

PRA GSP01 0005399
ferry service option. It would be surprising at this point for it to do anything else, .„
Gov. Sarah Palin announced what DOT has been making clear for months: Ketchikan won't be
getting the expensive bridge. ... Palin has directed DOT to find the most "fiscally
responsible" option. Everyone knew from the start that would be ferry service."
Some in Ketchikan like Mayor Weinstein or Mayor Williams might dispute DOT'S intent was
"clear" because of some comments by Menzies about supporting a cheaper bridge, but I think
Lew's editorial represents the view of most residents who support the bridge, upset, but
not truly surprised.
I think Kyle and Bert's comments about being surprised are more part of their overall
upset feelings on the siibject (much of which originates with 9 years of frustration of

It's embarrassing to think we planned an event "out from under them" - was it
inappropriate, and was 1 not supposed to announce? Surely if anyone had other plans, or a
better idea, I would have been told?
I asked about this because I'd never paid attention to how the announcement was put
together in the past, esccept tp have noticed it was usually at a formal dinner where most
Alaskans wouldn't be able to participate, hence the idea I threw out there to travel to
smaller communities for an event.

Governor,
Received now. I was not aware of any need or discussion to hold it in Fairbanks.
I read the Ear story today suggesting that the announcement was originally scheduled to
take place in Fairbanks tomorrow. That is news to me. It had been scheduled by Revenue
for last week.

Pat and Mike- in all our discussions about where to announce the pfd, I never heard that
the pfd corp had planned a dinner in fairbanks, and that the expectation was for them, not
me, to announce.
It's embarrassing to think we planned an event "out from under them" - was it
inappropriate, and was I not supposed to announce? Surely if anyone had other plans, or a
better idea, I would have been told?
I asked about this because I'd never paid attention to how the announcement was put
together in the past, except tp have noticed it was usually at a formal dinner where most
Alaskans wouldn't be able to participate, hence the idea I threw out there to travel to
smaller communities for an event.
If this was "hijackiing" it or it was out of line, surely someone would have told me what

PRA GSP01 0005431
It's great to be in Louisiana, a big oil and gas producing state - like Alaska I
I'm happy to be back with the representatives from so many states here at this meeting of
the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
Some of you may remember that I served as head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission. Alaskans recognized the importance of regulation before we even had a viable
oil and gas industry - AOGCC was created in 1955 - four years before we became a state!
The work done by lOGCC and the state regulatory bodies ensures oil and natural gas
resource recovery while protecting our nation's health, safety and environment. That is
our commitment to the nation - so that all Americans will have confidence in our efforts
to reduce American's dependence on foreign oil.
Alaska will play an increasingly important role in oil and gas production within the
United States. We've developed only a fraction of our known reserves, and have many times
this known amount awaiting discovery and commercialization. Out of at least 20 major
offshore basins and onshore regions with oil and gas potential, only 2 Alaskan basins have
been under development.
That's why what we're doing in Alaska is so important to the nation's future. Most
importantly, we are underway - for the first time in state history - with a viable plan
toward constructing an Alaska gas pipeline.
Before we look to the future, let's look back 30 years. On June 20, 1977, Alaskan oil
first began flowing from Pirudhoe Bay through the Trans Alaska Pipeline System — or ""TAPS"
- and onward to the nation and the world.
TAPS was an engineering marvel. The 800-mile-long pipeline is one of the largest pipeline
systems in the world. It stretches from Prudhoe Bay through three mountain ranges to
PRA GSP01 0005432
Valdez, the northernmost ice* free port in North America. TAPS forever changed the Alaskan
economy. And more importantly, the energy landscape of the nation, TAPS has transported
more than 15 billion barrels of oil.
TAPS has proven to be a huge blessing to the nation. It also has been a challenge - to be
good stewards of our non-renewable natural resources.
Alaska is home to one of the most prolific and diverse resource bases in the world. Given
the blessing of a huge state with plenty of space, we are able to actively develop our
resources and promote our nation's economy while at the same time, ensuring that our
abundant wildlife and habitat resources are protected for future generations.
We will continue to work closely with the oil and gas industry to develop new leases, both
onshore and offshore. For example, new exploration companies are developing three
outstanding offshore prospects northwest of the Kuparuk River Unit. These companies
recognize the tremendous value of undeveloped onshore and offshore reserves. The unit
operators expect to drill this winter, with the expectation of producing tens of millions
of barrels.
Alaska produces about 15 percent of the country's domestic oil. While TAPS at its peak in
1988 was pumping 2 million barrels a day through the line, today it moves approximately
700,000 barrels per day.
We have successfully unlocked vast resources within our state and are working to do so
responsibly off its shores. And unlock them we must. We can no longer warehouse Alaska's
resources - Alaskans can't afford it, Americans can't afford it.
(pause)
We learned a lesson with U.S. dependence on foreign oil. We must ensure that we don't walk
into the same trap with natural gas.
Developing Alaska's North Slope basin will allow access to an abundant supply of natural
gas, with known reserves of more than 35 trillion cubic feet, or T-C-F, and potential
reserves of much, much more.
Building a gas pipeline is critical not just for Alaska's future, it's also an essential
component of our nation's energy policy. The same foreign powers that control the world's
oil supply are beginning to control the supply of natural gas. Alaska stands ready and
able to supply our fellow Americans with an abundant, cheap clean source of energy for the
future .
PRA GSP01 0005433
Today Alaska is poised to deliver on a natural gas pipeline. We recently enacted
legislation that has commenced - for the first time in Alaska history - a competitive
process for all interested and qualified applicants to step forward and propose the best
plan, route, economic plan, and timing, to receive Alaska's exclusive license to build the
line.
Alaska is taking the unprecedented step of offering $500 million in state matching funds
to mitigate exposure during the riskiest phase of the project, that period leading up to
project certification by the either the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or another
authorized regulatory body.
Our inducements to those who will build the pipeline are valuable, and will encourage
companies to compete. For a chance to compete for the inducement package, applicants must
agree to certain bedrock requirements, such as delineated and enforceable project
benchmarks and acknowledgement of pipeline rate treatment that allows for affordable
economic expansion.
These terms will ensure competitive and long-term exploration and MORE development on
Alaska's North Slope. The pipeline must be expandable to accommodate the new discoveries
of any explorers, to ensure that North Slope gas energizes our nation for generations..
We also offer inducements to those who hold the leases and control the gas, to ensure that
the current leaseholders commit their gas to the licensed project.
We are hearing very encouraging comments from potential pipeline applicants, producers, or
explorers. And the message is clear - they want to do business in Alaska!
(pause)
We've been talking about Alaskan resource development. But let's examine WHY this so
important to our nation. Why is it so important to YOU,
FIRST, development and commercialization of domestic energy sources will provide
substantial and immediate consumer impact in the United States,
The introduction of a considerable volume of incremental supply to the North American
market will provide BILLIONS of dollars in energy cost savings to American homes and
businesses. It is estimated that a 4.5 billion cubic foot Alaskan gas pipeline could save
Americans $100 BILLION over the first five years of the project.
PRA GSP01 0005434
SECOND, Alaska's gas will enhance national security by easing America's dependence on
energy sourced from unstable regions of the world.
America's dependence on foreign oil is well-known. Oil-rich governments possess great
global leverage given their ability to threaten a cutoff of supplies. Our dependence on
foreign oil also forces a transfer hundreds of billions of dollars annually to
unaccountable regimes, which of ten pose security risks to the U.S. And, as finite oil
reserves dwindle, those still heavily reliant upon it will be drawn into conflict.
The problem is not limited to oil. America is becoming dependent on foreign sources of
natural gas, much of it from the Middle East. The same region of the world that has
provided much of our oil supply is now increasing its natural gas production. Let's be
Clear - development of Alaska's natural gas is a vital national interest.
THIRD, the project will be environmentally- friendly. A natural gas pipeline can easily use
many existing oil pipeline corridors, infrastructure and roads. This reduces environmental
impacts by minimizing the footprint. Moreover, while renewables are an increasingly
important part of our supply, the reality is that our nation will continue to need fossil
fuels as part of its energy portfolio for years to come. Natural gas is the cleanest of
all fossil fuels, and will help bridge our nation's transition to increased reliance on
renewable energy sources.
(pause)
Climate change will affect how we produce oil and gas in Alaska. Last week I created
Alaska's first sub- cabinet to prepare a climate change strategy for the state. There is no
doubt that Alaska's climate is changing. And we are already seeing the effects -- coastal
erosion, thawing permafrost, retreating sea ice and record forest fires that affect our
communities and our infrastructure.
Scientists tell us to expect many more changes in the near future. These are changes we
must prepare for now, as they will also affect our ability to access our non- renewable
resources. And to ensure that we diversify our energy future, ray administration's Climate
Change Sub- Cabinet will be looking at ways to develop, promote and expand renewable energy
resources such as geothermal, wind, hydroelectric, tidal and in- stream energy.
(pause)
PRA GSP01 0005435
Alaska stands ready to provide domestic energy to consumers, to enhance our national
security, and to do so in the same responsible manner that we have developed our resources
for a half-century.
But Alaska IS more than oil and gas.
We have some of the most beautiful countryside, fabulous wildlife viewing and high-
adventure recreation in the country.
Come see for yourself at lOGCC's May 2009 mid-year meeting. It's scheduled for Anchorage,
but I invite you to come see ALL of Alaska, from our rainforests in the southeast, to the
proud fishing villages in the west, to the harsh and industrious tundra up north, to the
land of the midnight sun in the interior.
We are the Last Frontier - and despite the weather's chill, you'll receive the warmest of
welcomes in Alaska!

Governor -
The folks at the Permanent Fund Corporation have been scaling back the annual banquet for
several years now. What started as a small dinner for the corporation's staff after the
annual meeting, ballooned into a huge event. For the last several years, they have not
required the fund managers to attend the dinner. This year, they decided not to have the
dinner at all. Furthermore- they would like to distance (not meant to be harsh)
themselves from the actual announcement. They realize that they are the money managers
and we (the state) are the distributors. They feel it is only appropriate that we take
the lead on the announcements.
They thought the announcement in Valdez was great and appropriate!
I will clarify this with Sheila Toomey when she gets in at 1:30,

Commission. Alaskans recognized the importance of regulation before we even had a viable
oil and gas industry - AOGCC was created in 1955 - four years before we became a state!
PRA GSP01 0005453
The work done by lOGCC and the state regulatory bodies ensures oil and natural gas
resource recovery while protecting our nation's health, safety and environment. That is
our commitment to the nation - so that all Americans will have confidence in our efforts
to reduce American' s dependence on foreign oil ,
Alaska will play an increasingly important role in oil and gas production within the
United States. We've developed only a fraction of our known reserves, and have many times
this known amount awaiting discovery and commercialization. Out of at least 20 major
offshore basins and onshore regions with oil and gas potential, only 2 Alaskan basins have
been under development.
That's why what we're doing in Alaska is so important to the nation's future. Most
importantly, we are underway - for the first time in state history - with a viable plan
toward constructing an Alaska gas pipeline.
Before we look to the future, let's look back 30 years. On June 20, 1977, Alaskan oil
first began flowing from Prudhoe Bay through the Trans Alaska Pipeline System - or '"TAPS"
- and onward to the nation and the world.
TAPS was an engineering marvel. The 800-mile-long pipeline is one of the largest pipeline
systems in the world. It stretches from Prudhoe Bay through three mountain ranges to
Valdez, the northernmost ice- free port in North America. TAPS forever changed the Alaskan
economy. And more importantly, the energy landscape of the nation. TAPS has transported
more than 15 billion barrels of oil.
TAPS has proven to be a huge blessing to the nation. It also has been a challenge - to be
good stewards of our non- renewable natural resources.
Alaska is home to one of the most prolific and diverse resource bases in the world. Given
the blessing of a huge state with plenty of space, we are able to actively develop our
resources and promote our nation's economy while at the same time, ensuring that our
abundant wildlife and habitat resources are protected for future generations.
We will continue to work closely with the oil and gas industry to develop new leases, both
onshore and offshore. For example, new exploration companies are developing three
outstanding offshore prospects northwest of the Kuparuk River Unit, These companies
recognize the tremendous value of undeveloped onshore and offshore reserves. The unit
operators expect to drill this winter, with the expectation of producing tens of millions
of barrels.
PRA GSP01 0005454
Alaska produces about 15 percent of the country's domestic oil. While TAPS at its peak in
1988 was pumping 2 million barrels a day through the line, today it moves approximately
700,000 barrels per day.
We have successfully unlocked vast resources within our state and are working to do so
responsibly off its shores. And unlock them we must. We can no longer warehouse Alaska's
resources - Alaskans can't afford it, Americans can't afford it.
(pause)
We learned a lesson with U.S. dependence on foreign oil. We must ensure that we don't walk
into the same trap with natural gas.
Developing Alaska's North Slope basin will allow access to an abundant supply of natural
gas, with known reserves of more than 35 trillion cubic feet, or T-C-F, and potential
reserves of much, much more.
Building a gas pipeline is critical not just for Alaska's future, it's also an essential
component of our nation's energy policy. The same foreign powers that control the world's
oil supply are beginning to control the supply of natural gas. Alaska stands ready and
able to supply our fellow Americans with an abundant, cheap clean source of energy for the
future .
Today Alaska is poised to deliver on a natural gas pipeline. We recently enacted
legislation that has commenced - for the first time in Alaska history - a competitive
process for all interested and qualified applicants to step forward and propose the best
plan, route, economic plan, and timing, to receive Alaska's exclusive license to build the
line.
Alaska is taking the unprecedented step of offering $500 million in state matching funds
to mitigate exposure during the riskiest phase of the project, that period leading up to
project certification by the either the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or another
authorized regulatory body.
Our inducements to those who will build the pipeline are valuable, and will encourage
companies to compete. For a chance to compete for the inducement package, applicants must
agree to certain bedrock requirements, such as delineated and enforceable project
benchmarks and acknowledgement of pipeline rate treatment that allows for affordable
economic expansion.
These terms will ensure competitive and long-term exploration and MORE development on
Alaska's North Slope. The pipeline must be expandable to accommodate the new discoveries
of any explorers, to ensure that North Slope gas energizes our nation for generations..
PRA GSP01 0005455
We also offer inducements to those who hold the leases and control the gas, to ensure that
the current leaseholders commit their gas to the licensed project.
We are hearing very encouraging comments from potential pipeline applicants, producers, or
explorers. And the message is clear - they want to do business in Alaska!
(pause)
We've been talking about Alaskan resource development. But let's examine WHY this so
important to our nation. Why is it so important to YOU.
FIRST, development and commercialization of domestic energy sources will provide
stibstantial and immediate consumer impact in the United States.
The introduction of a considerable volume of incremental supply to the North American
market will provide BILLIONS of dollars in energy cost savings to American homes and
businesses. It is estimated that a 4.5 billion cubic foot Alaskan gas pipeline could save
Americans $100 BILLION over the first five years of the project.
SECOND, Alaska's gas will enhance national security by easing America's dependence on
energy sourced from unstable regions of the world.
America's dependence on foreign oil is well-known. Oil-rich governments possess great
global leverage given their ability to threaten a cutoff of supplies. Our dependence on
foreign oil also forces a transfer hundreds of billions of dollars annually to
unaccountable regimes, which often pose security risks to the U.S. And, as finite oil
reserves dwindle, those still heavily reliant upon it will be drawn into conflict.
The problem is not limited to oil. America is becoming dependent on foreign sources of
natural gas, much of it from the Middle East. The same region of the world that has
provided much of our oil supply is now increasing its natural gas production. Let's be
clear - development of Alaska's natural gas is a vital national interest.
PRA GSP01 0005456
THIRD, the project will be environmentally- friendly . A natural gas pipeline can easily use
many existing oil pipeline corridors, infrastructure and roads. This reduces environmental
impacts by minimizing the footprint. Moreover, while renewables are an increasingly
important part of our supply, the reality is that our nation will continue to need fossil
fuels as part of its energy portfolio for years to come. Natural gas is the cleanest ^^
all fossil fuels, and will help bridge our nation's transition to increased reliance
renewable energy sources.
of
on
(pause)
Climate change will affect how we produce oil and gas in Alaska. Last week I created
Alaska's first sub-cabinet to prepare a climate change strategy for the state. There is no
doubt that Alaska's climate is changing. And we are already seeing the effects -- coastal
erosion, thawing permafrost, retreating sea ice and record forest fires that affect our
communities and our infrastructure.
Scientists tell us to expect many more changes in the near future. These are changes we
must prepare for now, as they will also affect our ability to access our non- renewable
resources. And to ensure that we diversify our energy future, ray administration's Climate
Change Sub- Cabinet will be looking at ways to develop, promote and expand renewable energy
resources such as geothermal, wind, hydroelectric, tidal and in-stream energy.
(pause)
Alaska stands ready to provide domestic energy to consumers, to enhance our national
security, and to do so in the same responsible manner that we have developed our resources
for a half -century.
But Alaska IS more than oil and gas.
We have some of the most beautiful countryside, fabulous wildlife viewing and high-
adventure recreation in the country.
Come see for yourself at lOGCC's May 2009 mid-year meeting. It's scheduled for Anchorage,
but I invite you to come see ALL of Alaska, from our rainforests in the southeast, to the
proud fishing villages in the west, to the harsh and industrious tundra up north, to the
land of the midnight sun in the interior.
PRA GSP01 0005457
We are the Last Frontier - and despite the weather's chill, you'll receive the warmest of
welcomes in Alaska!

Governor :
The soldiers of the Alaska Army National Guard who served in Kuwait, and who
you visited, will be returning to Camp Shelby, Mississippi between 12 and 15
October. A redeployment formation is scheduled for the morning of 17 October
at 11:00, which will be the only formation of all soldiers as they return
from this deployment. We will also be having a lunch picnic immediately
following the formation. Once the soldiers leave Camp Shelby they will be
authorized travel direct to their homes. So the only time available for you
to welcome the entire unit home will be at this formation on 17 October,
unless we consolidate them at either Anchorage or Bethel at a later time, but
that would be at state expense.
The leadership tells me that they have a flag you gave them in Kuwait which

was flovm on military vehicles during missions into Iraq. They want to
present that flag back to you in appreciation for your support . This is the
perfect time to have that happen, as they will all be together.
I know your schedule is very hard to predict a month out, but I would ask
that you pen in October 16 and 17 for the redeployment at Camp Shelby. To
assist in your travel, I am arranging for a military UC-35 (Cessna Citation)

Subject: Agrium Announcement
Governor:
I just received a call from Lisa Parker at Agrium to inform you of their decision to shut down the Kenai
plant. They will be laying off more than 100 employees, They are already in contact with the Department
of Labor and will be applying for assistance under the Trade Adjustment Act.
The shut-down may not be permanent. They simply do not have enough gas under contract for 2008 and
do not expect to have sufficient supply for 2009 and beyond, either. If the Secretary of Energy denies the
application for exports by Conoco Phillips and Marathon at the Nikiski LNG plant, Agrium hopes to be
able to move in swiftly and work out supply contracts for 2009 and beyond. Lisa reports that Sen,
Murkowski is meeting with Secretary Bodman to get a sense of what's in store for the Cook Inlet.
This is not a surprise. We had been in contact with Agrium since July about their view of the supply
situation. Initially, they were optimistic about their ability to secure long term (2009 and beyond) supplies.
Over the past couple of months, they have become less and less certain, leading to the decision today to
shut down. Up until last week, the Division of Oil and Gas was doing the necessary homework to put
together a royalty-in-kind sale that would have targeted Agrium as a buyer.
As for the future of Agrium in Alaska, they intend to make a decision by the end of the year on whether to
proceed to the next phase of their coal gas plant. A positive decision there would lead to detailed
engineering and design work and would cost a considerable amount, but would not be a decision to
proceed with the construction of the project.
These are quality Jobs with pretty high wages for the employees who work at the facility. It Is a shame to
lose those jobs, and the economy of the Kenai Peninsula will certainly take a hit
Please let me know if you need any further information.

That's why what we're doing in Alaska is so important to the
nation's future. Mojt importantly, we are underway - for the
first time in state history - with a viable plan toward
constructing an Alaska gas pipeline.
Before we look to the future, let's look back 30 years. On
June 20, 1977, Alaskan oil first began flowing from Prudhoe
Bay through the Trans Alaska Pipeline System - or "TAPS" -
and onward to the nation and the world.
TAPS was an engineering marvel. The 800-mile-long
pipeline is one of the largest pipeline systems in the world. It
stretches from Prudhoe Bay through three mountain ranges
to Valdez, the northernmost Ice-free port in North America.
TAPS forever changed the Alaskan economy. And more
importantly, the energy landscape of the nation. TAPS has
transported more than 16 billion barrels of oil.
TAPS has proven to be a huge blessing to the nation. It also
has been a challenge - to be good stewards of our non-
renewable natural resources.
Alaska is home to one of the most prolific and diverse
resource bases in the world. Given the blessing of a huge
state with plenty of space, we are able to actively develop
our resources and promote our nation's economy while at
the same time, ensuring that our abundant wildlife and
habitat resources are protected for future generations.
We will continue to work closely with the oil and gas Industry
to develop new leases, both onshore and offshore. For
example, new exploration companies are developing three
outstanding offshore prospects northwest of the Kuparuk
River Unit. These companies recognize the tremendous
PRA GSP01 0005471
value of undeveloped onshore and offshore reserves. The
unit operators expect to drill this winter, with the expectation
of producing tens of millions of barrels.
Alaska produces about 1 5 percent of the country's domestic
oil. While TAPS at Its peak in 1988 was pumping 2 million
barrels a day through the line, today it moves approximately
700,000 barrels per day.
We have successfully unlocked vast resources within our
state and are working to do so responsibly off its shores. And
unlock them we must. We can no longer warehouse Alaska's
resources - Alaskans can't afford it, Americans can't afford
it.
(pause)
We learned a lesson with U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
We must ensure that we don't walk into the same trap with
natural gas.
Developing Alaska's North Slope basin will allow access to
an abundant supply of natural gas, with known reserves of
more than 36 trillion cubic feet, or T-C-F, and potential
reserves of much, much more.
Building a gas pipeline is critical not just for Alaska's future,
it's also an essential component of our nation's energy
policy. The same foreign powers that control the world's oil
supply are beginning to control the supply of natural gas.
Alaska stands ready and able to supply our fellow Americans
with an abundant, cheap clean source of energy for the
future.
Today Alaska is poised to deliver on a natural gas pipeline.
We recently enacted legislation that has commenced - for
PRA GSP01 0005472
the first time in Alaska history - a competitive process for all
interested and qualified applicants to step forward and
propose the best plan, route, economic plan, and timing, to
receive Alaska's exclusive license to build the line.
Alaska is taking the unprecedented step of offering $600
million in state matching funds to mitigate exposure during
the riskiest phase of the project, that period leading up to
project certification by the either the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission or another authorized regulatory
body.
Our inducements to those who will build the pipeline are
valuable, and will encourage companies to compete. For a
chance to compete for the inducement package, applicants
must agree to certain bedrock requirements, such as
delineated and enforceable project benchmarks and
acknowledgement of pipeline rate treatment that allows for
affordable economic expansion.
These terms will ensure competitive and long-term
exploration and MORE development on Alaska's North
Slope. The pipeline must be expandable to accommodate
the new discoveries of any explorers, to ensure that North
Slope gas energizes our nation for generations..
We also offer inducements to those who hold the leases and
control the gas, to ensure that the current leaseholders
commit their gas to the licensed project.
We are hearing very encouraging comments from potential
pipeline applicants, producers, or explorers. And the
message is clear - they want to do business in Alaska!
(pause)
PRA GSP01 0005473
We've been talking about Alaskan resource development.
But let's examine WHY this so important to our nation. Why
is it so important to YOU.
FIRST, development and commercialization of domestic
energy sources will provide substantial and immediate
consumer impact in the United States.
The introduction of a considerable volume of incremental
supply to the North American market will provide BILLIONS
of dollars in energy cost savings to American homes and
businesses. It is estimated that a 4.5 billion cubic foot
Alaskan gas pipeline could save Americans $100 BILLION
over the first five years of the project.
SECOND, Alaska's gas will enhance national security by
easing America's dependence on energy sourced from
unstable regions of the world.
America's dependence on foreign oil Is well-known. Oil-rich
governments possess great global leverage given their
ability to threaten a cutoff of supplies. Our dependence on
foreign oil also forces a transfer hundreds of billions of
dollars annually to unaccountable regimes, which often pose
security risks to the U.S. And, as finite oil reserves dwindle,
those still heavily reliant upon it will be drawn into conflict.
The problem is not limited to oil. America is becoming
dependent on foreign sources of natural gas, much of it from
the Middle East. The same region of the world that has
provided much of our oil supply is now increasing its natural
gas production. Let's be clear - development of Alaska's
natural gas is a vital national interest.
PRA GSP01 0005474
THIRD, the project will be environmentally-friendly. A natural
gas pipeline can easily use many existing oil pipeline
corridors, infrastructure and roads. This reduces
environmental impacts by minimizing the footprint. Moreover,
while renewables are an increasingly important part of our
supply, the reality is that our nation will continue to need
fossil fuels as part of its energy portfolio for years to come.
Natural gas is the cleanest of all fossil fuels, and will help
bridge our nation's transition to increased reliance on
renewable energy sources.
(pause)
Climate change will affect how we produce oil and gas in
Alaska. Last week I created Alaska's first sub-cabinet to
prepare a climate change strategy for the state. There is no
doubt that Alaska's climate is changing. And we are already
seeing the effects ~ coastal erosion, thawing permafrost,
retreating sea ice and record forest fires that affect our
communities and our Infrastructure.
Scientists tell us to expect many more changes in the near
future. These are changes we must prepare for now, as they
will also affect our ability to access our non-renewable
resources. And to ensure that we diversify our energy future,
my administration's Climate Change Sub-Cabinet will be
looking at ways to develop, promote and expand renewable
energy resources such as geothermal, wind, hydroelectric,
tidal and in-stream energy.
(pause)
Alaska stands ready to provide domestic energy to
consumers, to enhance our national security, and to do so In
PRA GSP01 0005475
the same responsible manner that we have developed our
resources for a half-century.
But Alaska IS more than oil and gas.
We have some of the most beautiful countryside, fabulous
wildlife viewing and high-adventure recreation in the country.
Come see for yourself at lOGCC's May 2009 mid-year
meeting. It's scheduled for Anchorage, but I invite you to
come see ALL of Alaska, from our rainforests in the
southeast, to the proud fishing villages in the west, to the
harsh and industrious tundra up north, to the land of the
midnight sun in the interior.
We are the Last Frontier - and despite the weather's chjil,
you'll receive the warmest of welcomes in Alaska!

lOGCC (Monday, Sept. 24)
Time-length: About 12-15 minutes right before the 10:16
a.m. break (Incoming lOGCC Chair, Texas Gov. Rick Perry,
just before you on the schedule)
It's great to be in Louisiana, a big oil and gas producing state
~ like Alaska!
I'm happy to be back with the representatives from so many
states here at this meeting of the interstate Oil and Gas
Compact Commission.
Some of you may remember that I served as head of the
Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. Alaskans
recognized the importance of regulation before we even had
a viable oil and gas industry - AOGCC was created In 1955
- four years before we became a state!
The work done by lOGCC and the state regulatory bodies
ensures oil and natural gas resource recovery while
protecting our nation's health, safety and environment. That
js our commitment to the nation - so that all Americans will
have confidence in our efforts to reduce American's
dependence on foreign oil.
Alaska will play an increasingly important role in oil and gas
production within the United States. We've developed only a
fraction of our known reserves, and have many times this
known amount awaiting discovery and commercialization.
Out of at least 20 major offshore basins and onshore regions
with oil and gas potential, only 2 Alaskan basins have been
under development.
PRA GSP01 0005480
That's why what we're doing in Alaska is so important to the
nation's future. IVIost importantly, we are underway - for the
first time in state history - with a viable plan toward
constructing an Alaska gas pipeline.

Back in August, we were told by PFC that they decided not to hold an annual dinner at the
annual meeting this year. That meant that the traditional announcement venue wouldn't
occur » Because of that, we were told it was up to the Governor and Revenue how the
announcement would be made. I told them we would figure out a venue and make the
announcement. The plans for a September 19 announcement proceeded from there. It was the
last I heard from PFC, and I never got the impression that they felt slighted or had an
alternative venue.
The meeting starting tomorrow is in Fairbanks. I see on the agenda that they have a
"community reception" scheduled for Monday at 6, with "dinner on own" after that. 1^11

Pat and Mike- in all our discussions about where to announce the pfd, I never heard that
the pfd corp had planned a dinner in fairbanks, and that the expectation was for them, not
me , to announce .
It's embarrassing to think we planned an event "out from under them" - was it
inappropriate, and was I not supposed to announce? Surely if anyone had other plans, or a
better idea, I would have been told?
I asked about this because I'd never paid attention to how the announcement was put
together in the past, except tp have noticed it was usually at a formal dinner where most
Alaskans wouldn't be able to participate, hence the idea I threw out there to travel to
smaller communities for an event.
If this was "hijackiing" it or it was out of line, surely someone would have told me what
the protocal was?

delgation, etc. in all these weeks/months - especially the communications with affected
legislators this past week as the press release was getting ready to be sent? What was
their reaction throughout the week?

Call of the Wild: No Food on the Terrace, Please, When an Unusual Guest Visits Capitol
Hill
By Michael Sandler, CQ Staff
The House may, at times, feel like a den of wolves. But now Rep. George Miller, the
chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, believes the chamber needs a visit
from the real thing.
The California Democrat has arranged to have a three-year-old Arctic grey wolf join him at
a news conference Tuesday on the Cannon Building terrace to promote legislation that would
restrict the aerial hunting of wolves in Alaska.
An estimated 671 wolves have been killed by aerial hunting since 2003, according to
Miller's office.
Supporters of aerial wolf hunting say it helps maintain populations of moose and other big
game for indigenous subsistence hunters. Opponents say it*s about tourism and protecting
Alaska's multimillion-dollar big-game hunting industry.
All would-be wolves from both parties are welcome to join Atka, the real-life predator, at
the news conference - under one condition.
"No food is allowed on the terrace when the wolf is present," Miller *s office made clear
in a news release about the event .

All would-be wolves from both parties are welcome to join Atka, the real-life predator, at the news

"No food is allowed on the terrace when the wolf is present," Miller's office made clear in a news

Subject: Re: 'Fix it first' won't help Alaska's road system (by the DOT Commissioner)
Leo,
I do agree that states need to set appropriate priorities for their
transportation needs. But that said, I think we as a State have had some
skewed priorities lately and it is time we adjusted them. To address the
points raised in your "Fix it First Won't Help" piece I would like to
make the following observations:
1. We don't live in an average sized state, we live in the largest
state. By far, by twice, any way you want to figure it. Many of the
communities in this state exist not because there was any kind of
economic reason for them in the first place but because they were
locales that humans could survive in. Period, Survival and economic
prosperity are two radically different paths. Couple the extraordinarily
difficult building conditions with the same magnitude of distance and
traditional transportation projects become completely impractical. Water
or aviation based means, while expensive, become the most viable
solution, I'm sorry, Hooper Bay will never have road access to Anchorage.
If unlimited funding were a reality we could pursue any project that
came to mind. But funding is limited so we have to make decisions based
on getting the maximum benefit for those dollars. A Ketchikan bridge, a
"road" to Juneau and even a Knik arm crossing fail those benefit
metrics, in that order. I would personally benefit quite nicely from a
Knik arm crossing as it would give me much faster, shorter access times
to a family cabin and recreation site in the Mat Su. I still cannot,
with a reasonable conscience, endorse it given the other, more pressing
needs I see when I look and travel around Alaska. Access to our cabin
involves either hiking, flying or snowmachining and for considerably
PRA GSP01 0005530
longer than the 15 minute ferry trip in Ketchikan, Yet I will put up
with it and fore go lobbying for the planned road past our lake and
instead, press for a missing link in Anchorage that would benefit
thousands more in the form of reduced travel time, congestion, air
quality and fuel savings.
2. While a novel concept, 1 think the notion that there was much in line
of fuel taxes paid out from the 1916 time frame amounted to much.
Especially if compared to what the area and contributions of the
Eisenhower network probably paid in. And we did get transportation
projects done - the Alaska Highway being one of the most prominent as an
example. And I recall from my days at Northway prior to statehood that
the BPR took care of that highway at US taxpayer expense. As of a few
years ago there were still file cabinets in today *s Northway DOT office
with the BPR decals on them.
3, If we already, as even you write, spend the lions share of our
transportation dollars on maintenance how on earth are we to dream of
maintaining even more as yet \xnbuilt infrastructure? If it can be shown
that maintenance funding is assured, I will endorse building anything
that can also be funded. But to build without any kind of assured
maintenance funding is to build just to fund the dreams and aspirations
of those that have a part in getting something built, not being
responsible stewards of public funds, goals, needs and trust. I saw
first hand this process in action while employed at the State as a
communications tech. Sites that cost millions to build were crumbling
for lack of maintenance funding while new ones were being contemplated
and worse, built to start the cycle yet again.
So yes, let's make sure Fix It is an integral, viable part of our
transportation infrastructure before it gets built.

Bless her, and her Integrity. May she continue to be as honest as she has shown herself to be since

There is currently no consensus among the Republican Governors. The Governors

I promised to keep you updated on developments concerning the Convention on the
Law of the Sea and US territorial claims. Below is a brief summary of the current
situation.
Hopefully, territorial assertions by Russia, Canada, etc will provide additional
impetus for Senate ratification of the Convention,
Arctic melting is spurring a new move to ratify the Law of the Sea treaty .*.
The U.N. Law of the Sea Treaty gets a new airing in the Senate this week, more
than three years after it was stalled by conservative opposition and 13 years after it
was submitted to the Senate by President Clinton.
The Foreign Relations Committee is to hear high officials of the State and
Defense departments testify that it is in the United States' interest to join 155
nations in ratifying the accord.
The treaty sets out detailed rules on the extent of territorial waters and includes
seabed mining dispute resolution provisions.
Treaty backers say that with melting ice sparking conflicting claims over Arctic
waters and the seabed beneath them, the United States must be a party to the
treaty to press its own claims.
Treaty opponents say it would infringe on U.S. sovereignty. CQ Green Sheets

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, just before you on the schedule)
PRA GSP01 0005542
It's great to be in Louisiana, a big oil and gas producing state - like Alaska!
I'm happy to be back with the representatives from so many states here at this meeting of
the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
Some of you may remember that I served as head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission, Alaskans recognized the importance of regulation before we even had a viable
oil and gas industry - AOGCG was created in 1955 - four years before we became a state!
The work done by lOGCC and the state regulatory bodies ensures oil and natural gas
resource recovery while protecting our nation's health, safety and environment. That is
our commitment to the nation - so that all Americans will have confidence in our efforts
to reduce American's dependence on foreign oil.
Alaska will play an increasingly important role in oil and gas production within the
United States. We've developed only a fraction of our known reserves, and have many times
this known amount awaiting discovery and commercialization. Out of at least 20 major
offshore basins and onshore regions with oil and gas potential, only 2 Alaskan basins have
been under development .
That's why what we're doing in Alaska is so important to the nation's future. Most
importantly, we are underway - for the first time in state history — with a viable plan
toward constructing an Alaska gas pipeline.
Before we look to the future, let's look back 30 years. On June 20, 1977, Alaskan oil
first began flowing from Prudhoe Bay through the Trans Alaska Pipeline System — or "TAPS
— and onward to the nation and the world.
//
TAPS was an engineering marvel. The 800-mile-long pipeline is one of the largest pipeline
systems in the world. It stretches from Prudhoe Bay through three mountain ranges to
Valdez, the northernmost ice-free port in North America. TAPS forever changed the Alaskan
economy. And more importantly, the energy landscape of the nation, TAPS has transported
more than 15 billion barrels of oil.
TAPS has proven to be a huge blessing to the nation. It also has been a challenge - to be
good stewards of our non-renewable natural resources.
Alaska is home to one of the most prolific and diverse resource bases in the world. Given
the blessing of a huge state with plenty of space, we are able to actively develop our
resources and promote our nation's economy while at the same time, ensuring that our
abundant wildlife and habitat resources are protected for future generations.
We will continue to work closely with the oil and gas industry to develop new leases, both
onshore and offshore. For example, new exploration companies are developing three
outstanding offshore prospects northwest of the Kuparuk River Unit. These companies
recognize the tremendous value of undeveloped onshore and offshore reserves. The unit
operators expect to drill this winter, with the expectation of producing tens of millions
PRA GSP01 0005543
of barrels.
Alaska produces about 15 percent of the country's domestic oil. While TAPS at its peak in
1988 was pumping 2 million barrels a day through the line, today it moves approximately
700,000 barrels per day.
We have successfully unlocked vast resources within our state and are working to do so
responsibly off its shores. And unlock them we must. We can no longer warehouse Alaska's
resources — Alaskans can't afford it, Americans can't afford it.
(pause)
We learned a lesson with U.S. dependence on foreign oil. We must ensure that we don't walk
into the same trap with natural gas.
Developing Alaska' s North Slope basin will allow access to an abundant supply of natural
gas, with known reserves of more than 35 trillion cubic feet, or T-C-F, and potential
reserves of much, much more.
Building a gas pipeline is critical not just for Alaska's future, it's also an essential
component of our nation's energy policy. The same foreign powers that control the world's
oil supply are beginning to control the supply of natural gas. Alaska stands ready and
able to supply our fellow Americans with an abundant, cheap clean source of energy for the
future.
Today Alaska is poised to deliver on a natural gas pipeline. We recently enacted
legislation that has commenced - for the first time in Alaska history - a competitive
process for all interested and qualified applicants to step forward and propose the best
plan, route, economic plan, and timing, to receive Alaska's exclusive license to build the
line.
Alaska is taking the unprecedented step of offering $500 million in state matching funds
to mitigate exposure during the riskiest phase of the project, that period leading up to
project certification by the either the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or another
authorized regulatory body.
Our inducements to those who will build the pipeline are valuable, and will encourage
companies to compete. For a chance to compete for the inducement package, applicants must
agree to certain bedrock requirements, such as delineated and enforceable project
benchmarks and acknowledgement of pipeline rate treatment that allows for affordable
economic expansion.
These terms will ensure competitive and long-term exploration and MORE development on
Alaska's North Slope. The pipeline must be expandable to accommodate the new discoveries
of any explorers, to ensure that North Slope gas energizes our nation for generations..
We also offer inducements to those who hold the leases and control the gas, to ensure that
the current leaseholders commit their gas to the licensed project.
We are hearing very encouraging comments from potential pipeline applicants, producers, or
explorers. And the message is clear — they want to do business in Alaska!
(pause)
We've been talking about Alaskan resource development. But let's examine WHY this
important to our nation. Why is it so important to YOU.
FIRST, development and commercialization of domestic energy sources will provide
3
so
PRA GSP01 0005544
substantial and immediate consumer impact in the United States.
The introduction of a considerable volume of incremental supply to the North American
market will provide BILLIONS of dollars in energy cost savings to American homes and
businesses. It is estimated that a 4.5 billion cubic foot Alaskan gas pipeline could save
Americans $100 BILLION over the first five years of the project.
SECOND, Alaska's gas will enhance national security by easing America's dependence on
energy sourced from unstable regions of the world.
America's dependence on foreign oil is well-known. Oil-rich governments possess great
global leverage given their ability to threaten a cutoff of supplies. Our dependence on
foreign oil also forces a transfer hundreds of billions of dollars annually to
unaccountable regimes, which often pose security risks to the U.S. And, as finite oil
reserves dwindle, those still heavily reliant upon it will be drawn into conflict.
The problem is not limited to oil. America is becoming dependent on foreign sources of
natural gas, much of it from the Middle East. The same region of the world that has
provided much of our oil supply is now increasing its natural gas production. Let's be
clear -- development of Alaska's natural gas is a vital national interest.
THIRD, the project will be environmentally- friendly. A natural gas pipeline can easily use
many existing oil pipeline corridors, infrastructure and roads. This reduces environmental
impacts by minimizing the footprint. Moreover, while renewables are an increasingly
important part of our supply, the reality is that our nation will continue to need fossil
fuels as part of its energy portfolio for years to come. Natural gas is the cleanest of
all fossil fuels, and will help bridge our nation's transition to increased reliance on
renewable energy sources -
(pause)
Climate change will affect how we produce oil and gas in Alaska. Last week I created
Alaska's first sub-cabinet to prepare a climate change strategy for the state. There is no
doubt that Alaska's climate is changing. And we are already seeing the effects — coastal
erosion, thawing permafrost, retreating sea ice and record forest fires that affect our
communities and our infrastructure.
Scientists tell us to expect many more changes in the near future. These are changes we
must prepare for now, as they will also affect our ability to access our non-renewable
resources. And to ensure that we diversify our energy future, my administration's Climate
Change Sub-Cabinet will be looking at ways to develop, promote and expand renewable energy
resources such as geothermal, wind, hydroelectric, tidal and in-stream energy.
(pause)
Alaska stands ready to provide domestic energy to consumers, to enhance our national
PRA GSP01 0005545
security, and to do so in the same responsible manner that we have developed our resources
for a half-century.
But Alaska IS more than oil and gas.
We have some of the most beautiful countryside/- fabulous wildlife viewing and high-
adventure recreation in the country.
Come see for yourself at lOGCC's May 2009 mid-year meeting. It's scheduled for Anchorage,
but I invite you to come see ALL of Alaska, from our rainforests in the southeast, to the
proud fishing villages in the west, to the harsh and industrious tundra up north, to the
land of the midnight sun in the interior.
We are the Last Frontier - and despite the weather's chill, you'll receive the warmest of
welcomes in Alaska!

The ACES special session is right around the corner. Based on the success of
the AGIA team, I've decided to utilize a large strategy team approach, that will
be broken down into smaller teams to aqcomplish particular tasks or pursue
special inquiries.
I'd like to invite each of you to join the ACES strategy group. My current idea
is to have the strategy team meet at least once a week up until session to
compare notes and brainstorm necessary actions to maximize our chances of
success.
I'd like to hold the first meeting this Wednesday, the 26th, from 1-3. I'm in
Fairbanks all week, so we'll do this by teleconference.
Those in Anchorage can meet up in Suite 1820. The rest of us will dial in, I'll
distribute an agenda and teleconference info late Monday evening.
Please let me know if you can join us. Thanks.

It*$ all good stuff she needs to know privately.
Will be well worth the time and gives her some very positive stuff.
Any time this week?
Our office is just 3 blocks away.
Even on short notice, he can be there in 10 minutes.
He leaves for Houston this Sunday for 2 weeks of important spur line meetings with
heavies,
Would be excellent if he could get those 10 minutes with her by Friday night?
Kris, can you get him in there?
It*s important or I wouldn't ask.
His only real bad time is 9- 10 :30am tomorrow.

Governor and Mike,
I received a call this afternoon from Dale Hall of the USFWS. He indicated that he and the
Secretary of the Interior just decided to honor the Governor's request and granted a
fifteen day extension to the state to review the new Polar Bear data and make comments, I
thanked Mr. Hall for the phone call but indicated the Governor's letter to the Secretary
requested a minimum of a 60 day extension. He said that it was his understanding that the
Governor requested a 15 day extension. I indicated again that was a minimum of 60 days to
give the state an opportunity to review the mountains of new data. He said that is all the
secretary was willing to go. I seriously doubt they personally read the Governor's letter.
Denby call and essentially confirmed the same information with Mr. Hall and got the same
answer as I did. So we got the extension, it » s not even close to what we asked for so we
will just have to make the best of it. Thought you should know. We now have until October
22 for final comments.

Alutiiq anthropologist honored as a MacArthur 'genius'
Award comes with $500,000 for Haakanson
By MIKE DUNHAM
mdunhara@adn . com
(Published: September 25, 2007)
An Alaska Native anthropologist from the Kodiak Island village of Old Harbor has received
one of the most prestigious -- and lucrative -- awards for intellectual achievement in
America. Sven Haakanson, 41, is among 24 new MacArthur Fellows announced Monday.
A press release from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation's Fellows Program
called Haakanson "the driving force behind the revitalization of indigenous language,
culture and customs in an isolated region of North America." It also mentioned his
artistic accomplishments as a mask carver and photographer.
The so-called ^*Gen±u3 Award" comes with a f $500,000 grant that recipients may spend as
they see fit. The selection process is famed for its secrecy and candidates usually have
no clue that they are under consideration.
Haakanson learned of the award in a crack-of-dawn phone call on Monday of last week/ '*They
woke me up at 6:30 in the morning," he told the Daily News, "Anybody calling you that
early, you think: Is this a joke?"
When he realized the caller was serious, he felt humbled, he said. "To have someone even
nominate me is wonderful . "

Governor and Mike,
I received a call this afternoon from Dale Hall of the USFWS. He indicated that he and the
Secretary of the Interior just decided to honor the Governor's request and granted a
fifteen day extension to the state to review the new Polar Bear data and make comments. I
thanked Mr. Hall for the phone call but indicated the Governor's letter to the Secretary
requested a minimum of a 60 day extension. He said that it was his understanding that the
Governor requested a 15 day extension. I indicated again that was a minimum of 60 days to
give the state an opportunity to review the mountains of new data. He said that is all the
secretary was willing to go. I seriously doubt they personally read the Governor's letter.
PRA GSP01 0005566
Denby call and essentially confirmed the same information with Mr, Hall and got the same
answer as I did. So we got the extension, it's not even close to what we asked for so we
will just have to make the best of it. Thought you should know. We now have until October
22 for final comments.

Dear Governor:
Sorry to bother you in the midst of a very hectic day, but I needed to ask you about this
because the deadline for DOT to submit the State's proposed Highway Safety Plan is coming
up next week. The Plan has to be signed (which to me means approved) by the Governor or
her designee (Leo Von Scheben) ,
Based on your earlier concerns, DOT amended the part of the plan saying the state will
seek to pass legislation making wearing motorcycle helmets mandatory to encourage
motorcycle riders to wear helmets.
The only 2 other items I see that could cause major controversy:

I have asked DOT to hold off submitting the plan until close of business next Tuesday, so
you would have time to consider whether to ask them to delete or amend these.

Subject: Agrium Announcement
Governor:
I just received a caii from Lisa Parker at Agrium to inform you of their decision to shut down the Kenai
plant. They will be laying off more than 100 employees. They are already in contact with the Department
of Labor and will be applying for assistance under the Trade Adjustment Act.
The shut-down may not be permanent. They simply do not have enough gas under contract for 2008 and
do not expect to have sufficient supply for 2009 and beyond, either. If the Secretary of Energy denies the
application for exports by Conoco Phillips and Marathon at the Nikiski LNG plant, Agrium hopes to be
able to move in swiftly and work out supply contracts for 2009 and beyond. Lisa reports that Sen.
Murkowski is meeting with Secretary Bodman to get a sense of what's in store for the Cook inlet.
This is not a surprise. We had been in contact with Agrium since July about their view of the supply
situation. Initially, they were optimistic about their ability to secure long term (2009 and beyond) supplies.
Over the past couple of months, they have become less and less certain, leading to the decision today to
shut down. Up until last week, the Division of Oil and Gas was doing the necessary homework to put
together a royalty-in-kind sale that would have targeted Agrium as a buyer.
As for the future of Agrium in Alaska, they intend to make a decision by the end of the year on whether to
proceed to the next phase of their coal gas plant. A positive decision there would lead to detailed
engineering and design work and would cost a considerable amount, but would not be a decision to
proceed with the construction of the project.
These are quality jobs with pretty high wages for the employees who work at the facility. It is a shame to
lose those jobs, and the economy of the Kenai Peninsula will certainly take a hit.
Please let me know if you need any further information.

To The Political Criminals of Alaska:
As I sit here in my office in Waco, Texas, I have just watched the video of the aerial murders of
wolves, and am quite upset over it What I cannot understand is, and why in the hell, and to
what extent are you accomplishing in completing these inhumane, morbid and gruesome acts of
killing innocent wolves? While I'm here in Texas and you are in Alaska, it is very hard for me
to say how I feel about people such as yourself. Can you not honor what the people of Alaska
want? I understand that they have opposed killing wolves in this manner. I guess it is true about
people in power, THEY DO AS THEY PLEASE, whether it be legal or not!
STOP YOUR DISGUSTING, ILLEGAL, AND GRUESOME ACTS OF KILLING WOLVES
(AND BEARS) BY USING PLANES. I would love to say '^ank you for your time," but you
and I both know that your time means absolutely nothing to me. Your existence in this world
seems wasted due to your hatred of one of the most beautiful creatures in nature, I usually do
not have a say in much of anything due to being very shy and standoffish, but I can honestly say
that the disgust I have for you, and for your actions, brings out an entirely different person.
Seriously think about trying to correct the many wrongs you have done and are about to do with
these aerial killings. In the video, it mentioned how other states would eventually do these
killings, whether it is for sport, or just for the fun of it. Bring it to Texas and I will blast your
sorry ass back to Alaska and let the bears have you.
Sincerely yours.

Subject: ACES Strategy Group
The ACES special session is right around the comer. Based on the success of the
AGIA team, I've decided to utilize a large strategy team approach, that will be broken
down into smaller teams to accomplish particular tasks or pursue special inquiries.
7/31/2009
PRA GSP01 0005587
Page 2 of 2
I'd like to invite each of you to join the ACES strategy group. My current idea is to
have the strategy team meet at least once a week up until session to compare notes
and brainstorm necessary actions to maximize our chances of success.
rd like to hold the first meeting this Wednesday, the 26th, from 1-3. I'm in
Fairbanks all week, so well do this by teleconference.
Those in Anchorage can meet up in Suite 1820. The rest of us will dial in, I'll
distribute an agenda and teleconference info late Monday evening.
Please let me know if you can join us. Thanks.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE • September 25, 2007
GARA, CRAWFORD URGE ACTION AGAINST VECO
Democratic legislators say illegal campaign activity was extensive
ANCHORAGE --On Tuesday Reps Les Gara and Harry Crawford (both D-Anchorage) sent a letter
urging the Alaska Public Offices Commission and Attorney General to take more aggressive
action against VECO, and the candidates helped by illegal VECO activity, for a broad array
of illegal political activities. APOC has declined to take meaningful action in pursuing
VECO campaign donations, and claims it is limited by a one-year statute of limitations.
Gara said the statute of limitations is bogus, since the activities were criminal in
nature. Under Alaska law, criminal violations of Alaska's campaign laws are subject to a
five-year, not one year statute of limitations. He and Crawford also said the extent of
VECO's violations went well beyond illegally paying for political polls. The State should
also determine which candidates knew they were benefiting from VECO's illegal campaign
donations - conduct for which the public deserves an answer,
"^VECO has corrupted the political system, and finding reasons to take no action isn't
acceptable," Gara said. In addition to the illegal polling payments Gara said VECO also
used corporate money to pay for campaign fundraisers, and that the company also used
corporate funds to compensate its executives for campaign contributions they made -
essentially resulting in direct campaign donations from VECO to Republican candidates. The
fact that VECO knew is was violating campaign law makes the act criminal, according to
Gara and Crawford.
"^ Investigating VECO is only the beginning as far as I'm concerned," Crawford said. "^The
people who accepted these illegal bribes are equally culpable, and I won't be satisfied
until the political system in Alaska is cleaned up - inside and out."
Gara and Crawford are asking APOC and the AG for a full investigation of VECO's illegal
political activity and a prosecution for any crimes the company committed. The two
Democratic legislators sponsored legislation last year that now makes it illegal to bribe
legislators with campaign contributions. Prior to the passage of that bill, bribery was
against federal law, but not against Alaska law.

Subject; Agrium and HB 229 ($2.9 billion in railroad bonds to help build goal gasification
project for Agrium)
Greetings, Commissioner, Ted, and Sally 1
The Governor has asked that I help you prepare a response to the recent and stunning news
that Agrium shall soon close, (See her e-mail below.)
It may be worth pointing out that last month, on August 25, 2007, the Governor signed into
1
PRA GSP01 0005613
law landmark legislation aimed at helping Agrium avert this grim action.
As you know, that measure was House Bill 229/ sponsored by Nikiski Representative Mike
Chenault .
It authorized the Alaska Railroad Corporation to issue an unprecedented sum of $2.9
billion in tax-exempt bonds to help pay for coal gasification and electrical power
generation facilities near the Agrium fertilizer plants as well as facilities and
equipment to transport coal from Healy by rail to Point MacKenzie and by barge from Point
MacKenzie to the Kenai.
Up to three million tons of coal per year could be used to create hydrogen that Agrium
needs to produce ammonia and to help generate power.
Agrium 's current design for the power plant is for 190 megawatts of power. The plan called
for Agrium to buy 120 megawatts of that. The rest, some 70 megawatts, would be available
for distribution along the Kenai power grid.
This may not be much, but I hope it helps.
October 2 is my last day in the Governor's Office. I am on personal leave until then
But if you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach me at this e-mail address
(cgcalaska@yahoo.com) .
Good luck and all the very, very best.

Thank you, I'm anxious to get that public response out today, though. The letter tomorrow,
but at least a short statement today. Sooner the better. If nothing else the response
should be that I agree with Rep Don Young's comments he released on this yesterday.

Subject: Rep Miller response
Gov,
We had an early morning meeting in coming up with a strategy for a response to Rep
Miller's proposed federal legislation. The plan of action is as follows:
Press release will be drafted today and be edited by this afternoon by all parties, Katz,
F&G here, and Gov
* distributed statewide
* distributed to outside media outlets for national distribution
Letter from the Governor to Rep Miller will address
* the 10 amendment
* infringement on states rights
PRA GSP01 0005621
* specifics of the wolf control program
* distinguishing between hunting and management control
John Katz will be developing a list of congressional members that will receive a cover
letter from the Gov along with the letter to Kep Miller as an attachment. The letter will
be crafted within the next day or so. We all decided that the letter should be thorough
and so we did not want to rush a letter out.

The Department of Law requested access to the evidence gathered by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. That access was denied. We do not wish to hamper their investigations or
prosecutions. In the meantime, we continue to monitor the evidence presented in the
trials. Nevertheless, we do not comment on investigations.
In this case, the public doe % have the plea agreements and testimonials from Rick Smith
and Bill Allen. They have admitted to taking illegal actions to corrupt the outcome of
the legislative process. Additional evidence is referenced in those documents as well as
the indictments of the 3 former legislators.

happen and if so, would it be through a special prosecutor? I would appreciate any

Governor Palin, rnrni am very pleased that you are our Governor for the State of Alaska and
would love to see you as President soon. My real issue here today is about racism in
Alaska. There seem to be a growth in minorities but they get treated unfairly. I just want
to know why and is there a way to change all that some day because America is for one the
land of opportunity. Why are Native Americans so cruel to other races besides their own?
Governor is it true that Alaska is their land and they have more rights then any other
ethnicity? Why should just being a Native American you get more perks then others? How
about just being an American period and that Alaska is one of the 50th state of the U.S.
so evryone can be treated fairly and get the same guidelines no matter your race?
rnGovernor I thank you very much for your time and know it's valueable with all the hard
work your doing. Please be our Governor for many years to come,rnrnSincerely,rnSamantha

Ethics complaint?
There does seem to be a case with Veco's poll for Murkowski
Published: September 26, 2007
Last Modified: September 26, 2007 at 03:39 AM
Sworn testimony about the Veco corruption scandal reveals a disturbing, and likely
illegal, transaction involving Veco and then-Gov. Frank Murkowski.
As reported earlier in the Daily News, pollster Dave '^''Dittman also testified that he
conducted a $20,000 poll for Murkowski in April 2006. Veco executive Rick Smith paid for
that poll, Dittman said on the witness stand.
''This one was initiated by either Jim Clark or the governor," Dittman testified. "The
governor was very unpopular at the time and there was some question of whether he would
run . "
Gov. Murkowski was not yet a candidate for re-election, so Veco's donation of a $20,000
poll was not an illegal campaign contribution. Good thing, too. In this case, the statute
of limitations for the state's campaign watchdog agency to pursue a law violation - it's
1
PRA GSP01 0005636
just one year - has already passed.
However, giving Alaska's governor a free poll about his re-election prospects appears to
be an illegal gift that violates the executive ethics act.
Alaska statute Sec. 39.52.13 says a "public officer" may not ''receive, directly or
indirectly, a gift" in any form "that is a benefit to the officer's personal or financial
interests, under circumstances in which it could reasonably be inferred that the gift is
intended to influence the performance of official duties, actions, or judgment."
That definition fits Gov. Murkowski's free poll from Veco. The poll benefited his personal
interest in deciding whether or not to run for re-election. Veco had plenty of reason to
want to influence Gov, Murkowski's "performance of official duties, actions, or
judgments," In April 2006, the governor was trying to get oil tax legislation through the
Xjegislature.
A governor can still face ethics charges after leaving office. Complaints must be filed
within two years from when the illegal act is discovered. In this case, any Alaskan can
file a complaint against former Gov. Murkowski at least until April 2008, and perhaps
until September 2009.
The maximum fine is $5,000. For a man as wealthy as Frank Murkowski, that's not a lot of
money. But lack of financial pain is no reason to let him off the hook in this case. Aix
ethics proceeding would reinforce the principle that no person is above the law, least of
all the state's chief executive.
Pollster Dittman indicated either Gov. Murkowski or Mr. Clark initiated Veco's illegal
$20,000 poll. If Mr. Clark was involved, he too, could face ethics charges. Alaska statute
39,52.190 makes it illegal ''for a public officer to knowingly aid another public officer
in a violation" of the executive ethics law.
Unfortunately for Alaskans, ethics complaints are confidential unless and until a
preliminary investigation determines a case deserves formal proceedings. Somebody may
already have filed a complaint about Veco's illegal gift of a poll to Gov. Murkowski, But
just in case, executive branch ethics complaints are filed with Alaska's attorney general.
That address is:
Talis J. Colberg Attorney General
Alaska Department of Law P.O. Box 110300 Juneau 99811-0300
But don't wait too long. The statute of limitations is running and the stain of Veco's
corruption is still fresh in Alaskans' minds.
BOTTOM LINE: Somebody should file an executive ethics act complaint against Gov. Murkowski
for accepting Veco's gift of a $20,000 political poll.
Bye bridge
No more plan for panned span
The will to build a bridge from Ketchikan to its airport isn't made out of steel, at least
not outside Ketchikan. Gov. Sarah Palin won few friends there with her decision to drop
plans for the bridge, but she made the right call.
Bridge to nowhere or not, there's nothing inherently wrong with people in Ketchikan
backing a bridge to Gravina Island. Where that plan runs afoul of sense is in the price
tag - $398 million - compared to what that money could buy in the rest of the state.
Gov. Palin is well aware of the poster-child status of the bridge as prime pork, with the
resultant loss of Alaska's reputation, and that had something to do with her decision. But
the best reason to drop plans for the bridge now is that it's not the best use of that
much money given the state's needs.
When Congress stripped most of the money of earmark status, there was no rush in Alaska to
defend it for Ketchikan's bridge. Ferry passage from airport to town may be inconvenient;
a bridge to the island may open development opportunities. But is that worth $398 million?
2
PRA GSP01 0005637
No,
After irreversibly committing more than $50 million in federal and state money (finished
environmental impact statement, Gravina Island road work and runway underpass already
under contract), with no prospect for more, it's time to cut losses and carry on
elsewhere.
We don't know what effect the governor's decision will have on plans for the Knik Arm
crossing, another project with a big price tag and uncertainty about who will pay and how
much, vision is wonderful, but Gov. Palin's call shows an understanding that the federal
spigot isn't wide open for Alaska anymore, and that we'd better count our costs and settle
our priorities. That way we'll keep seeing straight even when we're dreaming big.
BOTTOM LINE: Governor right to drop Ketchikan bridge plans.

Ethics complaint?
There does seem to be a case with Veco 'spoil for Murkowski
Published: September 26, 2007
Last Modified: September 26, 2007 at 03:39 AM
Sworn testimony about the Veco corruption scandal reveals a disturbing, and likely illegal,
transaction involving Veco and then-Gov, Frank Murkowski.
As reported earlier in the Daily News, pollster Dave "Dittman also testified that he conducted a

Dittman said on the witness stand.
"This one was initiated by either Jim Clark or the governor," Dittman testified. "The governor

Gov. Murkowski was not yet a candidate for re-election, so Veco*s donation of a $20,000 poll
was not an illegal campaign contribution. Good thing, too, In this case, the statute of limitations
for the state's campaign watchdog agency to pursue a law violation - it's just one year - has
already passed.
However, giving Alaska's governor a free poll about his re-election prospects appears to be an
illegal gift that violates the executive ethics act.
Alaska statute Sec. 39.52.130 says a "public officer" may not "receive, directly or indirectly, a
gift" in any form "that is a benefit to the officer's personal or financial interests, under
circumstances in which it could reasonably be inferred that the gift is intended to influence the
performance of official duties, actions, or judgment."
That definition fits Gov. Murkowski's firee poll ft-om Veco. The poll benefited his personal
interest in deciding whether or not to run for re-election. Veco had plenty of reason to want to
influence Gov. Murkowski's "performance of official duties, actions, or judgments," In April
2006, the governor was trying to get oil tax legislation through the Legislature.
A governor can still face ethics charges after leaving office. Complaints must be filed within two
years from when the illegal act is discovered. In this case, any Alaskan can file a complaint
against former Gov. Murkowski at least until April 2008, and perhaps until September 2009.
The maximum fine is $5,000. For a man as wealthy as Frank Murkowski, that's not a lot of
money. But lack of financial pain is no reason to let him off the hook in this case. An ethics
proceeding would reinforce the principle that no person is above the law, least of all the state's
chief executive.
Pollster Dittman indicated either Gov. Murkowski or Mr. Clark initiated Veco's illegal $20,000
poll. If Mr. Clark was involved, he too, could face ethics charges. Alaska statute 39.52.190
makes it illegal "for a public officer to knowingly aid another public officer in a violation" of tiie

executive ethics law.
Unfortunately for Alaskans, ethics complaints are confidential unless andtlntil a preliminary
investigation determines a case deserves formal proceedings. Somebody may already have filed a
complaint about Veco's illegal gift of a poll to Gov, Murkowski. But just in case, executive branch
ethics complaints are filed wdth Alaska's attorney general, That address is:
Talis J. Colberg Attorney General
Alaska Department of Law P.O. Box 110300 Juneau 9981 1-0300
But don't wait too long. The statute of limitations is running and the stain of Veco's corruption is still
fresh in Alaskans' minds.
BOTTOM LINE: Somebody should file an executive ethics act complaint against Gov. Murkowski for
accepting Veco's gift of a $20,000 political poll.

Gravina Island. Where that plan runs afoul of sense is in the price tag - $398 million - compared to what
that money could buy in the rest of the state.
Gov. Palin is well aware of the poster-child status of the bridge as prime pork, with the resultant loss of
Alaska's reputation, and that had something to do with her decision. But the best reason to drop plans
for the bridge now is that it's not the best use of that much money given the state's needs.
When Congress stripped most of the money of earmark status, there was no rush in Alaska to defend it
for Ketchikan's bridge. Ferry passage from airport to tovm may be inconvenient; a bridge to the island
may open development opportunities. But is that worth $398 milUon?
No.
After irreversibly committing more than $50 million in federal and state money (finished environmental
impact statement, Gravina Island road work and runway underpass already under contract), with no
prospect for more, it's time to cut losses and carry on elsewhere.
We don't know what effect the governor's decision will have on plans for the Knik Arm crossing,
another project with a big price tag and uncertainty about who will pay and how much. Vision is
wonderful, but Gov. Palin' s call shows an understanding that the federal spigot isn't wide open for
Alaska anymore, and that we'd better count our costs and settle our priorities. That way we'll keep
seeing straight even when we're dreaming big.
BOTTOM LINE: Governor right to drop Ketchikan bridge plans.

Subject: Agrium and HB 229 ($2.9 billion in railroad bonds to help build goal gasification project for Agrium)
Greetings. Commissioner, Ted, and Sally!
The Governor has asked that I help you prepare a response to the recent and stunning news that Agrium
shall soon close, (See her e-mail below.)
It may be worth pointing out that last month, on August 25, 2007, the Governor signed into law landmark
legislation aimed at helping Agrium avert this grim action.
As you know, that measure was House Bill 229, sponsored by NIkiski Representative Mike Chenautt.
It authorized the Alaska Railroad Corporation to issue an unprecedented sum of $2.9 billion in tax-exempt
bonds to help pay for coal gasification and electrical power generation facilities near the Agrium fertilizer
plants as well as facilities and equipment to transport coal from Healy by rail to Point MacKenzie and by
barge from Point MacKenzie to the Kenai.
Up to three million tons of coal per year could be used to create hydrogen that Agrium needs to produce
ammonia and to help generate power.
Agrium\u700 ?s current design for the power plant is for 1 90 megawatts of power. The plan called for
Agrium to buy 120 megawatts of that. The rest, some 70 megawatts, would be available for distribution
along the Kenai power grid.
This may not be much, but I hope it helps.
October 2 is my last day In the Governor's Office. I am on personal leave until then.
But if you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach me at this e-mail address
(cgcalaska@yahoo,com).
Good luck and all the very, very best»
Chris

light of the efforts we're putting forth to assist the state's MatMaid entity... and the criticism resulting in our

The shut-down may not be permanent. They simply do not have enough gas under contract for 2008 and do not

Re: Agrium Announcement Page 2 of 2
This is not a surprise. We had been in contact with Agrium since July about their view of the supply situation. Initially, they
were optimistic about their ability to secure long term (2009 and beyond) supplies. Over the past couple of months, they
have become less and less certain, leading to the decision today to shut down.Up until last week, the Division of Oil and Gas
was doing the necessary homework to put together a royalty-in-kind sale that would have targeted Agrium as a buyer.
As for the future of Agrium in Alaska, they intend to make a decision by the end of the year on whether to proceed to the
next phase of their coal gas plant. A positive decision there would lead to detailed engineering and design work and would
cost a considerable amount, but would not be a decision to proceed with the construction of the project.
These are quality jobs with pretty high wages for the employees who work at the facility. It is a shame to lose those jobs, and
the economy of the Kenai Peninsula will certainly take a hit.
Please let me know if you need any further information.

As Consumer Advocate for the U.S. Postal Service, part of my job is to measure how well we
are doing in meeting the needs of our Premier Account customers by having The Gallup
Organization conduct a customer feedback survey for us. We have recently revised the
questions we ask in hopes that they are more efficient and applicable to your business.
Your participation will help us improve our service.
To participate in the survey, please go to the Web site listed below and type in your
unique Access Code listed below.
Web Site Address: https://gx.gallup.com/usps.gx
Unique Access Code:

The survey asks questions about the mail you receive, the mail you send, your contacts
with the U.S. Postal Service in the past 3 days, and a few other topics. If someone else

MESSAGE :
Governor Palin, I'd first like to say that we think you rock. So far you have been on the
money as far as we can see.rnThere is something we would like to bring to your attention,
however. There is a cow permit hunt in the Delta area that is due to start on the first of
October. The objective is to take 900 cows out of the herd locally. First, we think that
the number of cows targeted is excessive and to shoot them this time of year is going to
leave calves without mothers to see them through the winter. Thus, each cow killed is
going to possibly result in 2 or 3 animals dying. Can't help but question the purpose
behind killing so many of them. We live on Clearwater Lake, and just in the past couple of
years, started seeing a few more moose on the lake. rnThe south side of the lake is pretty
built up and elevated about 20-30 feet above the lake level. Shooting on the lake could
result in disastrous situations if care isn't taken by the hunters on the lake. Rifle
bullets, as you know,
travel a long distance, rnAl so, we have a group of people here in Delta who hunt and shoot
anything that moves, basically and are not real particular about methods and means. The
Delta City Council had to pass an emergency regulation closing the City to discharging of
firearms in an attempt to avoid just such a situation. rnCould you possibly take a look at
this? I realize you are very busy, but would appreciate a little of your time. Thank you.

MESSAGE;
I noticed in your comments regarding California Rep, George Miller's PAW Bill to close the
loophole on aerial predator killing you protrayed the issue as interference from Outside.
Havng lived here in Alaska for 38 years, now, I recognize this tactic as one often trotted
out when there is no real justification for a stand. rn But since you have broached it, I
have to ask if you are so concerned about this staying strictly an Alaskan issue how it is
you then turn around and ignore the fact that both times aerial predator killing has been
put before Alaskan voters it has been banned by a majority. It seems what you really mean
to say is this is not an issue for anyone outside Alaska to act on. It is not an issue
for anyone in Alaska who disagrees with the program to act on. It is only for that narrow
view that supports extreme and unscientific aerial killing to be worthy of not ice, rn I
expect a certain hypocrisy in politics; it seems to be part and parcel of the profession.
Yet,
that which you exhibit with this behavior exceeds even that which I have generally seen
displayed. It's a shame that in the end due to an administrative adherence to the anti-
predator faction's views, Alaskans and Alaska's wildlife will suffer.

I have been blessed to live and hunt in the great state of Alaska for 50 years. rnrnAs a
child I hunted the Tanana Flats area and have always appreciated and respected the
bountiful moose harvest in this area. This has now gone into decline and myself and my
fellow hunters are concerned . rnrnAbout four years ago the Fish & Game decided they
needed a cow & calf hunt in this area. To date they still have not met their quota of
cow kills. I believe the reason for this is that there simply are not the cows to be
harvested. The moose population in this area is in serious decline and the biologists
still argue for more cow kills. This year has been the worst yet, as this cow hunt
progresses, I now see only one cow per bull in the area, and I spent 20 of the 25 days of
hunting season out there, rnrnThere is a horn restriction in the area. Spike/fork or many
brow times, eliminating all but the breeder bull. This year I did not see a single
spike/fork. They were eliminated as
calves in the antlerless moose?rnrnThe last time I saw a cow hunt was in the 70' s in
Glennallen. This so devastated the moose population that the area was closed to ail moose
hunting for years before the population rebounded. rnrnThe Tanana Flats area is regarded
the largest population in the state. It appears someone is intent on decimating the herd.
Could you please check into this immediately. The situation is time critical.

Thursday, Sept, 27 @ 6:30 p.m.

I am pleased to welcome you to this gathering of mystery and adventure writers, and
mystery fiction fans to Alaska.
I want to recognize a special group of writers - Alaska Sisters in Crime. Congratulations
to the members of this wonderful group for all their work — they are involved in so many
projects that support literacy around Alaska.
They have arranged for 27 writers to work with students in our Bush schools. For the last
five years this dedicated organization has purchased books for every library in the state.
And Sisters in Crime held a pre -conference workshop for students and teachers who are
interested in mystery writing.

As Governor, I am pleased that you recognize that Alaskans wilderness is a world-class
setting for mystery, drama and adventure.
But as Governor, I have solemn and important official obligations to discharge this
evening .
As Alaska's chief law enforcement official, one of my primary responsibilities is to
ensure that our many out-of-state visitors understand - and abide by - the requirements of
Alaska ' s criminal laws .
And so, I am obligated to inform everyone at this convention that Alaskans criminal law
prohibits bad writing.
In fact, Alaska's laws include a crime called "Malicious Mystery Fiction Writing in the
First Degree. "
This law was enacted years ago hy the Alaska Legislature to express Alaskans' frustration
with bad fiction writers.
Alaska law now provides that a writer commits the crime of Malicious Mystery Fiction
Writing in the First Degree if the writer produces any work of fiction that frustrate
frustrates the
reader:

PRA GSP01 0005687
by stretching a 200 page story out to 800 pages
by including any illogical plot twist
by withholding critical clues to the very last chapter
by beginning any work of fiction with the line, "It was a dark and stormy night..."
or by setting any work of fiction in Alaska which includes descriptions of penguins!
In Alaska, Malicious Mystery Fiction Writing in the First Degree is a felony offense.
In fact, if the writer is a serial novelist - each volume in the series constitutes a
separate, criminal offense. Consecutive sentences are mandatory.
Our law also provides that if a work of fiction is set in Alaska, and then the author
sells the movie rights to a producer who films the movie in British Columbia - a maximum
jail sentence is required.
You should know that Alaska is one of the few states to have this law. And we have found
it has been very successful.
We have found that bad fiction writers - once they became aware of this law - have simply
left Alaska, and chosen to commit their crimes elsewhere.
I realize that some of you here tonight may find this law troublesome.

PRA GSP01 0005688
(pause)
But I have some good news for you tonight.
Alaska's Constitution provides that the Governor may issue Executive Pardons,
So, should any of you be fearful that any Alaska law enforcement agency may investigate or
bring charges against anyone at this convention for the crime of Malicious Fiction Writing
- I am here tonight to exercise my constitutional authority of Executive Clemency.

Baby!
^Monring Meg. I left a voicemail msg yest thanking you for your kind email and letting you
know I totally support the decisions you're making.
Please don't feel guilty or stressed about deciding to hang with Isabella during these
precious, precious baby times. It IS the right decision for youi And welcome to the world
of motherhood where the conflicting feelings will constantly accompany you in today's
crazy world - but they'll be tempered with the absolute joy your child brings to your
life.
As I said in my msg, remember I stayed home with Track his first seven years - just worked
a bit part time - but I wouldn't trade those years for anything 1 By the time my FOURTH
baby came along, my support network (sisters and moml) was established and though it's
still been a day-to-day struggle logistically, little Piper turned out to be the most
accommodating and easy child that she's been by my side from day one - with the help of my
family. Every child is unique. The first child is most overwhelming, but in a good and
perfect way.
So, don^t worry about us. You've been an awesome partner and we could never replace you
and please know the door is always open for you in any capacity that we could figure out
would work for you. We'll keep thinking on that and I invite your suggestions.
In the meantime, may I get some input on other persons? If we go with splitting your job
(because no one will be able to combine the two like you did - there's not another
superman out there) , let me run a couple names by you and ask for suggestions:
Privilegec's a fireball. I like her. is she ready to do something else with her career?
I respect Privileged or P' s work and he's been so fair to us - would he want to shift gears
with his career?
Any suggestions?
Sharon's doing an outstanding job and we love her and I'm so glad you hired her. I'm
anxious to take some things off her plate so she can enjoy life a bit more, so finding
someone to come in and lead in Communications will be a relief for her. We'll do this
sooner rather than later.
You're amazing. Maybe you could write a book - at least an article - on dealing with that
universal conflict mothers face. Your email was a perfect first chapter.
PRA GSP01 0005706
Thanks Megi Tell Eric "hi" - Track [Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
Privileged or Personal Material Red so he could get to boot camp soon and his two-yr active duty
clock would start ticking / He was so flippin excited. I*m so flippin conflicted on that
decision, but still very proud and happy for him.
Piper's still mad at me for not showing her Isabella. When you come in to the office to do
any transitional tasks maybe I could get Pip in there at the same time.
Ha ve a good day - throw suggestions our way pleae - let me know if it's worth a cold call
or anyone else?

Thursday, Sept. 27 @ 6:30 p.m.
Egan Center
I am pleased to welcome you to this gathering of mystery and adventure writers, and
mystery fiction fans to Alaska.
I want to recognize a special group of writers -Alaska Sisters in Crime. Congratulations
to the members of this wonderful group for all their work - they are involved in so many
projects that support literacy around Alaska.
They have arranged for 27 writers to work with students in our Bush schools. For the
last five years this dedicated organization has purchased books for every library in the
state. And Sisters in Crime held a pre-conference workshop for students and teachers
who are interested in mystery writing.

As Governor, I am pleased that you recognize that Alaska's wilderness is a world-class setting
for mystery, drama and adventure.
But as Governor, I have solemn and important official obligations to discharge this evening.
As Alaska's chief law enforcement official, one of my primary responsibilities is to ensure that
our many out-of-state visitors understand - and abide by - the requirements of Alaska's
criminal laws.
And so, I am obligated to inform everyone at this convention that Alaska's criminal law
prohibits bad writing.
In fact, Alaska's laws include a crime called "Malicious IVIystery Fiction Writing in the First
Degree."
This law was enacted years ago by the Alaska Legislature to express Alaskans' frustration with
bad fiction writers.
Alaska law now provides that a writer commits the crime of Malicious Mystery Fiction
Writing in the First Degree if the writer produces any wori^ of fiction that frustrates the reader:
• by stretching a 200 page story out to 800 pages
• by including any illogical plot twist
• by withholding critical clues to the very last chapter
• by beginning any work of fiction with the line, "It was a dark and stormy night."
• or by setting any work of fiction in Alaska which includes descriptions of penguins!
In Alaska, Malicious Mystery Fiction Writing in the First Degree is a felony offense.
In fact, if the writer is a serial novelist - each volume in the series constitutes a separate,
criminal offense. Consecutive sentences are mandatory.
Our law also provides that if a work of fiction is set in Alaska, and then the author sells the
movie rights to a producer who films the movie in British Columbia - a maximum jail sentence
is required.
You should know that Alaska is one of the few states to have this law. And we have found it
has been very successful.
We have found that bad fiction writers - once they became aware of this law - have simply left
Alaska, and chosen to commit their crimes elsewhere.
I realize that some of you here tonight may find this law troublesome.
(pause)
But I have some good news for you tonight.
Alaska's Constitution provides that the Governor may issue Executive Pardons.
So, should any of you be fearful that any Alaska law enforcement agency may investigate or
11/10/2009

bring charges against anyone at tiiis convention for the crime of Malicious Fiction Writing - 1

I just received word that personnel with Veco/CH2M Hill that are currently under contract
with BP and tasked with corrossion prevention work at PBU are going to be laid off --more
than 100 people. An announcement is expected to be made tomorrow and the personnel
informed. The reason as it was explained to me is that there are safety concerns with
winter work. Sorry I don't have more details, but this was passed on to me third-hand

Sarah, rnrnThank you so very much for sticking up for Alaska by writing Congressman Miller.
I believe it is long time coming and overdue! We as Alaskans need to start the process of
taking back our Fish and Wildlife management from the Federal Government. Fish and Game
belongs to ALL Alaskans and it is time for USFWS, Congress and other States to "butt-
out" of our business. rnrni have two suggestions to get it started :rnrnl. Put USFWS
and other Federal agencies on written notice that the State of Alaska, through its
Constitution is taking back control of all Fish and Wildlife matters within the borders of
the state starting January 2008,rnrn2, Out law all non-resident guides, both fish and
game. If you want to be a guide in the Great State of Alaska you must possess and
maintain a resident fishing and hunting license. mrnKeep up the GREAT work! You are
making me and other Alaskans proud of our state government again, rnrnit was also great
to see ^'Brown Shirts" again on o
ur rivers. You can tell they are very proud. I assisted Troopers in cracking down on
illegal King fishing by guides and European clients on the Yentna and Lake Creek areas.
This has been a big issue with me over the past few years as I have witnessed these people
take 5 fish EACH in one day i rnrnThank you so much. Please stay as our Governor as we need
you ! rnrnTom TeseniarrnrnrnB .

Dear Governor Palin, rnrnPlease at least have the integrity to be truthful about the aerial
wolf kill program. We all know it is solely about money and greed. Killing the wolves
makes more moose available for hunters thus the state sells more hunting licenses and
brings in more revenue over all by enticing more visitors to Alaska. Alaskans no longer
" ; need" ; to hunt they just like to so this line "we are trying to increase
opportunities for Alaskans to put healthy food on their families' dinner tables" is
just ridiculous I rnrni am disgusted as an Alaskan that this program is in operation and
extremely disappointed that you would support this. If you tell the lie often enough and
with conviction it becomes the truth and that is what has been done regarding the wolf
kill program. rnrnSincerely.rnrnWendy Harris

RE: Confidential - Spitzer
Governor Palin, as you know Commissioner Monegan is out of the Country and he has asked
that I respond to your email concerning the settlement of the lawsuit involving Eric
Spitzer.
The case stems from an arrest that Trooper Spitzer made on Kevin Patrick in Emmonak in
November 2002, Patrick was basically terrorizing the Village when he was arrested. As
stated earlier by Colonel Holloway, Patrick has an extensive arrest and conviction record.
During the arrest Patrick was tazed by Spitzer during the arrest* During the trial in
Bethel Patrick admitted that he in fact resisted arrest actively during the entire
incident. Despite the fact that Patrick received only minor injuries during the scuffle
the Bethel jury awarded him compensatory damages of over One (1) million dollars. The
State of Alaska appealed this award.
DPS did an internal investigation and found that Trooper Spitzer violated no policies or
procedures during this arrest. The Department of Law concurred with the investigation and
that is the reason for the decision to go to trial.
The appeal process was asking for a new trial based on the excessive amount of the award
and a disqualification of an expert witness and the allegation that a racial slur was used
during the arrest. The arrest or at least half of it was on audio tape and there are NO
indications of any racial slur during this audio portion. This information was not
provid ed during discovery but presented during the trial. iPrivJIeged or Personal Material Redacted
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
There has been a large amount of correspondence with the Department of Law concerning this
case specifically Dale House the Assistant Attorney General who represented the State
since I started in February, As well as prior to that date. On July 30 a meeting was held
here in the Commissioners Office with Commissioner Monegan, Gail Voightlander, Assistant
Attorney General, Dale House, Colonel Holloway and myself.
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
PRA GSPG1 0005760
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
If this arrest had occurred in Anchorage or somewhere else where backup is readily
available in numbers as opposed to a location where the nearest help is 100 miles away the
outcome may have been different. We definitely know that a similar case in Palmer the jury
found the defendant guilty of resisting arrest and there has been no civil case even
filed.
At no time during these discussions with the Department of Law concerning this issue was
it ever discussed with the Governors Office. As you pointed out that would be
inappropriate. Over the years I have been involved with several lawsuits and to my
knowledge none were discussed directly with the Governor.
During Civil cases the preponderance of evidence is what decides the issues. Not
necessarily the facts. The truth does not have to be told in this case by anyone other
than the State. That is unfortunate but true.
During the Commissioner's and my presentation to you a couple of weeks ago we asked to
have the Criminal Justice system looked at overall. Prior to our leaving that meeting you
assigned Lt. Governor Parnell to oversee that process. The Bethel Court System and the
verdicts coming out of it should be one of the things looked at first. I believe that I
can speak for the Commissioner and myself that it is detrimental to the Citizens of the
Bethel region. It is a disservice to them both victims as well as the defendants.
If you ne ed or want furth er clarification I am available to discuss this with you. My cell
number is

Walt- could you provide me any documentation regarding the state's settlement of Trooper
Spitzer's case (I saw it on the news last night - I hadn't even known that this trooper
was in trouble again. He's the same one who was stationed in the valley and had a bad
reputation along with his fellow trooper whom we've talked about before, and this is at
least the second public case involving Spitzer and allegations of his abuse of power).
What 1 need is just the factual info that proves this was a DPS issue and 1 was not a part
of any settlement. I was not advised, nor requested to participate in this... as is the
appropriate way of handling such a case. I ask because I've already heard the accusation
that "I" settled with a bad cop.
I'd like to explain factually what an elected official's role is in cases like this (that
being, I had no role in this) .
Thank you.

Greetings, I would like to reemphasize the fact that twice the voters of Alaska have cast
ballots to do away with aerial wolf control, only to be undone in Juneau, undoubtably
under pressure from the guides and their 'high dollar' clientele who are in competition
with the wolves. So much is done or undone under the cover of ubiquitous clouds down
there, and I applaud your efforts to make operations transparent ... in gas and oil
decisions and so forth. I have seen in the past, on the tv, folks in the hallways of
decisions who I know are hunting guides and also know the kinds of money they get from
wealthy outsiders for an Alaskan kill. So I implore you to speak, once again to what is
really going on down there and the influence peddling of these truly high dollar
'predators', pity the wolves who can't shell out over $50,000 and more for a hunt.

I support you, I voted for you and I have the highest hopes for your strong leadership of
this state, but one of the things that makes me turn my back on you and your
administration is your blood lust and lack of compassion for Alaskan wildlife. You see
Sarah, the human beings of the world are not the only important life forces on the planet
and you need to realize that your short sighted blood lust hunting background is not the
"live or die" situation of even just a century or so ago. 1 was raised in this
state, and lived in the Valley when you were very young so don't try and sell this Alaskan
on a premise that animals are necessary for surviving in Alaska, you grew up with Carrs
and so did I. For you to have a desire and stomach for hunting, makes me sick in the
first place, but as I stated, I grew up here, so it is a way of life, but for you as the
Governor of this great state to support aerial hunting shows you to be a grunting, basic
cave dweller and will separate y
ou from the political group to move on as evolved human beings. This WILL be your
downfall. Grow or get left behind, because statements like the one that you made today
shows you to be the immature and unready politician to meet the growing climate of the
American conscience, FREE MAGGIE, STOP ARIEL WOLF HUNTS, I could sell a lot of T Shirts.
Grow past your snow mobile riding Tim the Toolman Days and check out the weather report .
It's environment friendly and you are chewing bones on camera .

Newsweek still working on Nightline but not confirnned.
They are also working with producers at Good Morning America and the Today show.
But nothing confirmed.
Newsweek is, however, proposing a west coast conference, similar to the NY conference, at which you
would speak, as well as Gov. Janet Napolitano (Arizona) and other speakers.
You and Napolitano are the two governors featured in special Newsweek issue, which hits stands on Oct.
8 (the day before the NY conference).
The staff will have a proposal to us Monday or Tuesday - and would recognize you at the Oct 9
luncheon along with Gov. Napolitano, and announce the west coast event.
The proposal will have a few dates from which to choose and Newsweek will coordinate with Napolitano's
office.
More details for you as soon as I have them.

legislator in California where you don't want them to tell Alaska what we can do with our
wildlife. Your administration sho

resource development so our children will have jobs and a quality environment. rnrnThere

Dear Governor Palin; rnrnCur rent ly the State of Alaska provides the sum of $612,000 to
three veterans groups as set up under the JOINT VENTURE GRANT AGREEMENT. The American
Legion, the VFW, and the Disabled Vets organizations each get $207, 000 (each annual budget)
for their service officer work on behalf of Alaska veterans. rnrnit is a certainty that the
current military environment will create a greater need for our veteran population in the
coming years , rnmWe in the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) also have a Service
Officer who provides important assistance to the wounded veterans of our State. Our MOPH
Service Officer also supports the needs of all veterans and has the same needs as the
other groups. Further more I must point out that the other three groups are provided
office space by VA, while we have had to find other office space outside of VA to conduct
our important work. We within the Alaska MOPH believe strongly that we have been left out
and are just as deserving o
f this state assistance as the other veteran groups. However it is important that the
State of Alaska does not forget that we (the MOPH) are the only group of veterans that
consists entirely of members who actually spilled their blood in combat . rnrnWe have
absolutely no desire to take anything away from the other fine veteran organizations, we
simply believe that we are just as deserving and we believe that we should receive equal
and fair treatment .rnrnTheref ore, we are asking that we. The Military Order of the Purple
Heart, (MOPH) Department of Alaska, receive equal treatment in the money granted by the
State of Alaska for our Service Officer work on behalf of Combat Wounded Veterans as well
as all other veterans. We are asking that we receive a sum that is ec[ual to the amount
awarded to the other veteran groups ; rnrnWe will be pursuing this matter through our

wrong doing when you were in the Murkowski Gov.rnrnThat was you, no if ands or buts. It
was honest and true. rnrnThe only way we can believe in our gov is if the truth and
integrity of our representatives is open and tansparent . rnrnYour reputations of Sen
Miller's bill is just a glad hand to the good old boy repubs that insist on killing and
control of our resource 's.rnrni grew up hunting and trapping. I know what it is about, i
have 155 acres in the valley and the poaching is out of control. rnrnMy cousin (Jim Grimes)
had a lodge, Adventures Unlimited, at MP 35 of the Danali Highway. He hunted and trapped
there since the mid 60's(Monihan Flats), rnrnThe hunters were demanding that we give them
killing control over the Solves there. Well F&G went in and did a study. While the
hunters and trapper were saying it was the wolves that were destroying the moose, the
study show it was the bears. I saw
the study and the pictures. rnrnEven after the study was done, F&G still did what the
Alaska Ouddoor Council wanted and defied their on data.rnrnlOW, ., don't urinate down my

ungulates survive and not predator control. Weather = 70-90%.rnmI voted twice to
eliminate aerial hunting. On the radio last summer you said you would not go against

We have talked about ways to disseminate the messages that Alaska is under new management

ps: One other thing occurred to me. Since you will be in New York, you might want to
consider making the rounds of some of the media outlets.
We have talked about ways to disseminate the messages that Alaska is under new management
and that we are ready and willing to provide domestically produced oil and gas to the
nation. New York is the headquarters of most of the major media, and I think that there's
a curiosity about Alaska and you as the new Governor.

Pathways to Business Growth for Women
Focus of Multi-Year Study
Washington, DC -The Center for Women^s Business Research has launched a study to
investigate the growth strategies of women who own companies with revenues at or exceeding
$1 million. For two decades, women have been starting companies at twice the rate of all firms.
However, very little is known about the nearly quarter-million women-owned companies with
revenues at this level.
The first year of the study is being undenwritten by OPEN from American Express and The Jana
Matthews Group - an unusual partnership of corporate America and a woman-owned business.

"Ninety percent of women business owners want to grow their companies," said Margaret A. Smith,
chair, Center for Women's Business Research and CEO of Domus. "Forty percent want to grow their
businesses as large as possible, thereby creating employment and generating wealth. This study will
provide insights about the women who lead multi-million dollar firms, the critical decisions they have
made and the growth strategies they pursued. This study will provide the Center with data-driven
knowledge that will be invaluable to other women who aspire to grow a company."
"We are especially pleased to have both a leading corporation and a nationally known woman-owned
business as sponsors," continued Margaret A. Smith. "As a woman business owner myself, I recognize
that we all benefit from the work of the Center for Women's Business Research - and it is only fitting
that we support the research done on our behalf."
"My company consults with CEOs and Executive Teams who want to accelerate growth. Some of our
clients are women-owned companies, some are owned by men, but all want to build and lead great
companies that can sustain growth. This research will provide valuable insights to women business
owners who want to grow," says Dr. Jana Matthews. "In addition, sponsoring this research gives me, a
woman business owner, an opportunity to give back to other women who want to grow their companies
but don't know how."
The first publication generated by the research. Characteristics of Women-Owned Busiriesses of$1
Million and Greater Revenues Report, will be released later this year. The report will analyze data,
made available for the first time, which segments these businesses by revenue levels at or above $1
million.
The second stage of the 2007 research is a series of focus groups with women business owners whose
firms have attained $1 million or more in revenues. The focus groups will collect in-depth information
on the business practices and attitudes of this group of women. A report on the focus group findings
will be released in January 2008.
Three focus groups have already been held and three more will be convened before the end of October
in Dallas, Jacksonville and Cleveland. Any woman business owner with revenues of $1 million or more
who would like to participate in a focus group should contact Christine Horak, deputy director of
research, Center for Women's Business Research at 202.638.3060 x 721 or at
chorak@womensbusinessresearch,org .
In year two of the study, the research will be expanded by conducting a national survey of women
business owners with $1 million or more in revenues.

Subject: DC trip - CONFiDENTIAL
ps: One other thing occurred to me. Since you will be in New York, you might want
to consider making the rounds of some of the media outlets.
We have talked about ways to disseminate the messages that Alaska is under new
management and that we are ready and willing to provide domestically produced oil
and gas to the nation. New York is the headquarters of most of the major media,
and I think that there's a curiosity about Alaska and you as the new Governor.

I can't speak to the issues you mentioned, but there's not much happening in DC
that week. Putting Congress aside, there is little pending at the
Gubernatorial/ Secretarial level in the various federal agencies.
Until we see the pattern of AGIA applications, I don't think that there's much to tell
the agencies with pipeline interests. Even FERC is in a wait and see mode.

Large companies have warned higher taxes could accelerate that trend and are speeding up asset-
divestments programs. In August, Chevron said it was selling its interests in the Mariner and Bressay
fields to Norway's Norsk Hydro ASA for a sum not disclosed, pending regulatory approval. In June, Shell
and Exxon Mobil unit Esso put a string of North Sea assets up for sale and entered exclusive negotiations
to offload their Dunlin fields to Fairfield Energy of the U.K.

You are doing a great job. In all these issues be you. Not Gov., not Republican, not
like anyone else, just you. You are a real leader, follow your heart, head, gut. That is
why Marty and I are back; we believe in you. But it also takes a team / organization to
handle lots of things happening all the time. The team must be organized and produce.
Not efficient or fair if the load isn't managed, delegated, shared held accountable..
I have learned that if a boss asks for something it was done, never should have to ask
twice. Don't have time to waste. Just delegate to the next person. Sends a hugh message
to everyone else.
You can always count on us to cover your back.
As far as BP, I suspect it is response to weather and the type of outdoor work being done.
Bruce and Jonne will find out for us. God bless Tom

I just received word that personnel with Veco/CH2M Hill that are currently under contract
with BP and tasked with corrossion prevention work at PBU are going to be laid off --more
than 100 people. An announcement is expected to be made tomorrow and the personnel
informed. The reason as it was explained to me is that there are safety concerns with
winter work. Sorry I don't have more details, but this was passed on to me third-hand
just a few minutes ago.

Pat Galvin got an email early this morning from Tom Wright's wife on the same subject.
Either he told her the same thing that he told rae, or their source is the same person. In
that case, I would suspect that person is their son.

I just received word that personnel with Veco/CH2M Hill that are currently under contract
with BP and tasked with corrossion prevention work at PBU are going to be laid off- -more
than 100 people. An announcement is expected to foe made tomorrow and the personnel
informed. The reason as it was explained to me is that there are safety concerns with
winter work. Sorry I don't have more details, but this was passed on to me third-hand

The original email went to ADEC, DNR, and PSIO to make sure all of our ears were perked
up. Commissioner Hartig is going to make a call to BP later this afternoon to try and
confirm what's going on.
I didn't mean to get you agitated, I just wanted to give you and the leadership of our
enforcement agencies a heads-up in the event a press release came out this morning.
I will confer with commissioner Hartig and get back to you. There is no ask of you here.

Aurora Borealls Stamp Release
Monday, Oct. 1
It's an honor to help celebrate today's release of the
Aurora Borealls single stannp from the Polar Lights
collection. Thank you all - especially Kathy Loera and
Kathy Phillips - for Inviting me to join you!
We are so blessed to live in this Incredible state where we
get to see the Northern Lights in real life - not just on a
stamp!
But I'm delighted to see that Aurora Borealls, a
phenomenon so closely tied to Alaska, is on a stamp that
celebrates the tradition of this International Polar Year
2007-2008.
This is the fourth time over the past 125 years that
scientists from around the world are banding together to
organize scientific and exploration programs concentrated
In the Polar Regions.
Each polar year has been a hallmark of International
cooperation in science achievement - from the first polar
11/10/2009

year in 1882 that included research at Point Barrow - to the
1932 research that established 40 permanent Arctic research
stations - to the 1957 research that confirmed continental
drift and discovered the Van Allen Radiation Belt encircling
the Earth.
This Aurora Borealls single stamp was part of the
International Polar Year souvenir sheet issued jointly on Feb.
21 by eight countries: the United States, Canada, Denmark,
Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
It's also an honor to recognize our postal workers here with
us and throughout Alaska. You continue the tradition
established when John H. Kinkead (kin-kade) was named the
first postmaster general of Alaska - at Sitka in 1867.
The words on the front of the U.S. Postal Service building In
New York pretty much describe delivering mail in Alaska -
''Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays
these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed
rounds."
Congratulations on the issue of this single stamp - and for the
hard work that you do every day in our challenging
environment!

Sounds like several attorneys were involved, which is appropriate given the atmosphere
we're in» . . Dept of Law should have informed you/me that they were investigating this.
Surprised no one but Cora sounds like they were aware. Again, it explains further why
Stevens is ticked (he thinks we went to the media with it - and that^s not true) and had I
known I could have had a better response last week to the "Stevens relationship" issues.

Governor,
We did in fact receive a letter requesting an investigation into the use of these funds,
which we promptly began. Several attorneys from Department of Law were involved in the
review. My understanding is that the review revealed no misconduct on the part of anyone
at ADF&G, although I have not yet seen the final investigation report as it is still being
reviewed by law, i am in the process of drafting a response to the September 14th letter,
I will send the investigation report and the response as soon as they are finished, and I
will PDF you a copy of the letter we received in a few minutes. I apologize for not
bringing this matter to your personal attention sooner. Please let me know if I can
provide any more information on this.

Itn reading today's article, ADN, about Penney 's earmark from Stevens - it says the
governor received a letter Sept 14 questioning the funds. Was that me, or was some letter
sent Sept 14 during prior administration?
Because i have not seen, nor heard about, any letter. In fact, except in passing when I
heard Larry and Mike mention the ADN was on to another Stevens/Penney issue, I have never
been informed nor privy to any info on this issue.
I feel I need to be informed of these issues that deal with the state and end up on the
front page of the newspaper. Please, if that letter was sent to me, allow me to see it. I
would think I'd be asked about this issue, and we're lucky I wasn't already asked when a
couple of reporters stopped me last week for Stevens' i s sues/ comment s .

Im reading today's article, ADN, about Penney 's eairmark from Stevens - it says the
governor received a letter Sept 14 questioning the funds. Was that me, or was some letter
sent Sept 14 during prior administration?
Because i have not seen, nor heard about, any letter. In fact, except in passing when I
heard Larry and Mike mention the ADN was on to another Stevens/Penney issue, I have never
been informed nor privy to any info on this issue.
I feel I need to be informed of these issues that deal with the state and end up on the
front page of the newspaper. Please, if that letter was sent to me, allow me to see it. I
would think I'd be asked about this issue, and we're lucky I wasn't already asked when a
couple of reporters stopped me last week for Stevens' issues/comments.

Yeah we'll need them to be more discerning be we're missing too many imp correspondence.
And when im in Juneau time has to be carved out for me to go through Janice's files so i
can read the stuff, and make sure we're responding.
Also, the stuff sent up to Anchorage the better even if its duplicates.
I'll talk to them if you give me names/contact #s

Hi Talis; are you aware of the Stevens/Penney investgation of that earmark that's on front
page of ADN? I hadnt heard of the investigation and it's no wonder Stevens is ticked at
us. . . I found out today Stevens thought our office went to the media first with this and
didn*t give him time to respond.

Governor,
We did in fact receive a letter requesting an investigation into the use of these funds,
which we promptly began. Several attorneys from Department of Law were involved in the
review. My understanding is that the review revealed no misconduct on the part of anyone
at ADF&G, although I have not yet seen the final investigation report as it is still being
reviewed hy law. I am in the process of drafting a response to the September 14th letter.
I will send the investigation report and the response as soon as they are finished, and I
will PDF you a copy of the letter we received in a few minutes. I apologize for not
bringing this matter to your personal attention sooner. Please let me know if I can
provide any more information on this.

Oh brother... I'm so sorry!
For the plumbing project the dishwashing and pantry areas will have demolition work to walls and ceilings in order
to access the old pipes, etc. The House china and stemware needed to be packed up and stored by professional
movers, to ensure that they'd be safe as the cabinets need to be removed, Tliey should be in storage for about a

I'm sorry that made the news; I can have them park in the back and they can carry boxes down a flight of stairs and
out the back instead of just going out the front door. It's worth it, to avoid giving anyone more ammunition.
The tiiought crossed my mind, but 1 didn't think someone would be so hard pressed to include that in the ear. Did
they not notice all the cars around the House? The Wolfson contractor van and other workers' vehicles from the

Im reading today's article, ADN, about IPenney^s earmark from Stevens - it says the
governor received a letter Sept 14 questioning the funds. Was that me, or was some letter
sent Sept 14 during prior administration?
Because i have not seen, nor heard about, any letter. In fact, except in passing when I
heard Larry and Mike mention the ADN was on to another Stevens /Penney issue, I have never
been informed nor privy to any info on this issue.
I feel I need to be informed of these issues that deal with the state and end up on the

Dear Governor Palin,
( 'I
A
TTie Kenai Area Fisherman's Coalition (KAFC) requests that your ofifice
and the Attorney General investigate the handling of federal funds
transferr^ to the State of Alaska via an earmark to the Pacific Coast Salmon
Recovery Funds (PCSRF) fiom Senator Ted Stevens.
The KAFC is an organization composed of scientists and concerned users of
the Kenai Peninsula waters, BCAFC membership includes biologbts (retired
State and Federal) which provide over 120 years of experience on the Kenai
River and other Peninsula waters in all areas of research and management
We consider the KAFC to be a "Joe Fisherman" organization since we have
no commercial interests.
The federal funds in question were provided to the State during the prior
administration^ however, after the transfer the Alaska Department of Fish
and Game (ADF&G) allowed a private org^iization, the Kenai River Sport
Fishing Association (KRSA), to decide how a significant portion of those
monies should be spent on the Kenai River. ADF&G did this because
Senator Stevens instructed ADF&G to divert the money to KRSA via
informal conversations*
Sue Aspelund, special assistant to the Commissioner of ADF&G, sent the
following in an email in response to a question from a concemed citizen
about how the money was reallocated to KRSA for control on spending:
2004 and 2005 federal budget Conference Reports listing the Kenai and
Russian Ri^er earmarks in Alaska W share of Pacific Coastal Salmon
Recovery Funds (PCSRF) impropriated by Congress. You will see
earmarks for the Kenai River and the Russian River. Additional
■4
-■
PRA GSP01 0006002
1 "
guidance provided us by Senator Stevens staff was that these earmarks
were for the Kenai River Sportfisking Association 's use at their discretion,
consistent with the intended purposes ofPCSRF*
It is obvious from this response and the written legislation that KRS A was
not part of the original earmark but was given the authority to spend Uiis
money via a verbal a^en^nt between the past Commissioner of ADF&G
McKie Campbell, KRS A, and Senator Ted Stevens. We find this backdoor
allocation of funds to KRS A to be unethical on the part of Senator Stevens
and ADF&G-
There was no pid3l]c process that allowed for debate on whether this was the
proper way to handle millions of doUai^ designated for Kenai River fisheries
and habitat research* In &ct, ADF&G m our opinion is the best agency to
decide the fete of these dollars, not KRSA. Instead^ Conmiissioner
Campbell said in repeated conversations with various members of the public
that this money was earmarked in the legislation to KRSA. That w£^ not
true - KRSA is not mentioned in the legislation but was the benefector of a
behind the scene conversation with Senator Stevens office and ADF&G
leadei^hip.
In addition, subsequent meetings by KRSA on the spending of these monies
did not include all user groups; a &ct w^ made public in a number of letters
to Senator Stevens's office. Governor Frank Murkowski, and KRSA by
citizens of the Kenai Peninsula (some of these letters are attached for your
review). These objections w^e dismissed or ignored. An open and
transparent public process, something we support and know Governor tiiat
you feel the same by your actions and words, was not used in this case.
Recently, it has come to our attention that KRSA has recommended funding
of two projecte in 2007 that are, in our opinion, a direct conflict of inter^t
and further erodes the public trust in how ADF&G is handling these funds.
The b^is for our concem is as follows:
1 . S*P Crmner and Associates, a firm located outside Alaska, consults to
KRSA on Board of Fish (BOF) regulatory proposals and has been active in
promoting KRSA positions before the Board of Fisheries and during public
meetings. S.P Cramer and Associates has worked for KRSA since at least
1999, They have attended numerous UCI regulatory meetings and have
PRA GSP01 0006003
*
served KRSA in a consultant capacity at those meetings* From our
understanding they are still working for KRSA.
2. Two projects (45527 and 45528) fonded by the PCSRF funds are being
conducted by KRSA and S.P Cramer and Associates. Project 45527 deals
with habitat and restoration evaluations and project 45528 is work on size
selectivity issues for Kenai River Chinook sabnon. Total value of these
projects is over 68,000 dollars. These projects were awarded without
competitive bidding and therefore did not allow Alaskan firms to pmticipate,
3. Our conversations with planning meeting attendees indicate that these
two projects may not have been discussed or agreed to by the parties or
agencies in that meeting. Instead, tt^^se projects were added by KRSA after
the meeting according to some reports. Again, this circumvents the public
process and allows a special interest group to direct fiinds to iheir
consultants and their organization wi&out full disclosure or discussion.
4. KRSA has proposals before the BOF 2008 Upper Cook Inlet meeting that
deal v^ith the Wvest of Chinook salmon in the Kenai River, including one
that deals specifically with size selectivity of cunrent fishing regulations. In
addition, there are numerous public proposals to alter regulations for habitat
concerns. KRSA will be t^ng positions on these proposals as well as their
own proposals. Projects 45527 and 45528 are self-serving in that they deal
with proposals before the Board of Fish submitted or commented on by
KRSA.
5. The end date of Uiese two studies is December 2007 which is just prior to
the Board of Fish meeting and data for use in the regulatory meetings will be
available to KRSA and S.P Cramer and Associates well before it is available
to the public. Since they are conducting the studies they have immediate
knowledge of results tiiat the general public will not have.
6. KRSA and S.P Cramer and Associates have at a mmimum the perception
of not being objective relative to the stody results given the regulatory
proposals before the Board of Fisheries. Therefore, when these studies are
presented or used in the Board of Fisheries process the public will not be
able to separate KRSA's agenda from the study results.
Therefore, at this time we believe a serious conflict of interest has taken
place witii the award of these studies to KRSA and S*P Cramer and
PRA GSP01 0006004
♦ <
*
*
ft.
Associates. It is our opinion that KRS A should not have received the
authorization to decide how to spend these funds in the beginning, has
circumvented a fiiU and open public process, and now is in conflict with
using public funds to promote tiieir stated agenda by directing studies by
their consultants and ihemseb/es to specific proposals before the BOR
We therefore respectively request that you investigate tibe history of these
funds, determuie if ethical or illegal violations have taken place in the
administration of these funds, and if so finding in the afBrmative, terminate
further relationships wi& KRS A and their consultants. In addition, we
would &rdier request that the BOF members be advised of your findings and
that any testimony by KRS A on the subject of these two proposals be denied
given they have a conflict wititi using public dollars to implement studies
related to their own proposals.
Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing fix)m you in the
near future.
Respectfully Submitted,
ight Kramer - KAFC Acting Secretary

Governor Responds to the Protect America's Wildlife Act
PRA GSP01 0006013
September 26, 2007, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today criticized Congressman
George Miller's (D-CA) legislation to eliminate an important element of wildlife
management by the State of Alaska.
"Moose and caribou are important food for Alaskans, and Congressman Miller's bill
threatens that food supply," said Governor Palin. '^Congressman Miller doesn't understand
rural Alaska, doesn't comprehend wildlife management in the North, and doesn't appreciate
the Tenth Amendment to the 0.S. Constitution that gives states the right to manage their
own affairs."
Miller's bill would ban the shooting of wolves from aircraft, a component of moose and
caribou management plans in five specific areas of Alaska. Predation can keep populations
of large game animals at persistently low levels, limiting or eliminating opportunities
for Alaskans to secure wild game for food.
Governor Palin is in agreement with Alaska Congressman Don Young, who announced yesterday
his opposition to Miller's bill, emphasizing that it is an affront to the sovereignty of
American states guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution,
"This bill would be an unprecedented federal incursion into traditional State management
of fish and resident wildlife," said Palin. ''If the federal government can do this to
Alaska today, it can do it to any other state tomorrow. The other states, particularly
the western public land states, should join us in expressing their indignation."
Contrary to what Representative Miller said in Washington yesterday, there is no ''aerial
hunting" of wolves in Alaska, the Governor said. "Our science-driven and abundance-based
predator management program involves volunteers who are permitted to use aircraft to kill
some predators in specified areas of the state where we are trying to increase
opportunities for Alaskans to put healthy food on their families' dinner tables. It is
not hunting and we have never claimed that it is."
PRA GSP01 0006014
Governor Palin said she will contact several other members of Congress to encourage them
not to support Congressman Miller's effort.
'"It appears to me that the Congressman has been inadvertently drawn into service as a
fundraiser for national animal rights organizations that commonly spread inaccurate
information about Alaska's game management programs, and with which we are in court on
these issues right now," said Palin.
Wildlife management policy in Alaska is set by the Alaska Board of Game, a public body
appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Alaska State Legislature. The Board
deliberates by weighing evidence at public meetings. Testimony comes from Alaska
Department of Fish and Game scientists, non- governmental organizations, and private
citizens. Governor Palin stressed today that wolf and bear populations are extremely
healthy in this state, and that predator control is intended to create more opportunities
for humans to harvest moose and caribou for food, while maintaining healthy populations of
predators .
"Our goal is to always have healthy populations of all wildlife, including wolves," Palin
said, '^Alaska is the only state that still harbors a full complement of both large
ungulates and large predators , "

Sharon will meet you at the event with a hard copy of speech/proclamation. There is likely
to be press at the event, so she'll be on- hand to assist with that. The Lt. Governor will
still be there, but will defer to you on the proclamation. The event is from 1 - 2pm.
They are aware that you will need to depart early as you have a 2pm meeting.

Governor - The event today is sponsored by the Abused Women's Aid in Crisis (AWAIC) -
Domestic Violence Awareness Month. You can sit onstage with the Lt. Governor and read the
proclamation and then the Lt, Governor will say a few words. The proclamation is at the
event and signed. I have pasted it into the body of this email.
PRA GSP01 0006028
The event on Thursday, October 4 is sponsored by the General Federation of Women's Club.
This is also a Domestic Violence and Abuse to Women event. 11:00 a.m. at the Hilton Hotel
Chart Room. The Lt. Governor was attending as you would possibly be in Juneau on that
date.
On either event the Lt. Governor is more then happy to accompany you or step down. Janice
WHEREAS, domestic violence is a vicious cycle that disrupts communities, destroys
relationships, and harms thousands of Alaskans each year. It comes in the form of
physical, emotional, sexual, psychological, and economic abuse.
WHEREAS, domestic violence is not confined to any group or groups of people; it affects
people of all ethnic backgrounds, economic levels, education levels, family structures,
religions, and ages. It is a pervasive problem in every community in Alaska, large and
small .
WHEREAS, the crime of domestic violence violates an individual's dignity and right to be
safe from violence in their home. It violates the peace and health of communities as well
as the laws of the State of Alaska, Domestic violence is not a private family matter - it
is a crime.
WHEREAS, the existence of domestic violence in our homes transforms the home from a place
that is meant to be loving and safe into a place of danger, despair, and fear. It
diminishes the quality of life for every resident of Alaska,
WHEREAS, the effects of domestic violence on children are devastating and can cause
lifelong problems due to emotional and/or physical trauma. These children are at a
greater risk of being part of an abusive relationship as adults, thus continuing this
cycle of abuse.
WHEREAS, beyond the suffering of victims, families, and communities, domestic violence
also has financial costs. These include lost income and long-terra productivity, medical
care, law enforcement, legal and court expenses, social and emergency services, crime
compensation, and problems in the school and workplace.
WHEREAS, as Alaskans, we must demonstrate with our words and our actions that domestic
abuse will not be tolerated. As Alaskans, we must continue to build alliances among
governments, community associations, businesses, education, and faith-based organizations
that will strengthen our families, teach alternatives to violence, and hold the offenders
accountable for their crimes.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Sarah Palin, Governor of the State of Alaska, do hereby proclaim
October 2007 as ;
Domestic Violence Awareness Month
PRA GSP01 0006029
in Alaska, and call on all Alaskans to become active in the fight to end domestic violence
in all of its forms, and to assume the responsibility to make the message clear, both by
word and deed, that domestic violence is unacceptable. Let us continue to mourn those
victims who have died, celebrate those who have survived, and support and respect those
who work to end violence.

For the plumbing project the dishwashing and pantry areas will have demolition work to
walls and ceilings in order to access the old pipes, etc... The House china and stemware
needed to be packed up and stored by professional movers, to ensure that they'd be safe as
the cabinets need to be removed. They should be in storage for about a month, then we'll
have the moving van again.
I'm sorry that made the news; I can have them park in the back and they can carry boxes
down a flight of stairs and out the back instead of just going out the front door. It's
worth it, to avoid giving anyone more ammunition.
The thought crossed my mind, but I didn't think someone would be so hard pressed to
include that in the ear. Did they not notice all the cars aro\and the House? The Wolf son
contractor van and other workers' vehicles from the window project, or the Simplex Grinell
vehicle fixing the security cameras, or Silverbow Const, or Karri's Plumbing trucks parked
outside working on the plumbing- nope, just the WWM van.
Major problems in this 95 year old House are being addressed and it's crazy that they're

Subject: RE; Ear
Oh brotlier... I'm so sorry!
For the plumbing project the dishwashing and pantry areas will have demolition work to walls and ceilings in order
to access the old pipes, etc... The House china and stemware needed to be packed up and stored by professional
moverSy to ensure that they'd be safe as the cabinets need to be removed. They should be in storage for about a
month, then we'll have the moving van again.
I'm sorry that made the news; I can have them park in the back and they can cany boxes down a flight of stairs and
out the back instead of just going out the front door. It's worth it, to avoid giving anyone more ammunition.
The thought crossed my mind, but I didn't think someone would be so hard pressed to include that in the ear. Did
they not notice all the cars around the House? The Wolfson contractor van and other workers' vehicles from the
window project, or the Simplex Grinell vehicle fixing the security cameras, or Silverbow Const, or Harri's
Plumbing trucks parked outside working on the plumbing- nope, Just the WWM van.
Major problems in this 95 year old House are being addressed and it's crazy that they're using the van as something
to take a jab at you with.

Subject: RE: Today
Governor - The event today is sponsored by the Abused Women's Aid in Crisis (AWAIC) -
Domestic Violence Awareness Month, You can sit onstage with the Lt, Governor and read the
proclamation and then the Lt. Governor will say a few words. The proclamation is at the
event and signed. I have pasted it into the body of this email.
The event on Thursday, October 4 is sponsored by the General Federation of Women's Club.
This is also a Domestic Violence and Abuse to Women event. 11:00 a.m. at the Hilton Hotel
Chart Room. The Lt. Governor was attending as you would possibly be in Juneau on that
date.
On either event the Lt. Governor is more then happy to accompany you or step down. Janice
WHEREAS, domestic violence is a vicious cycle that disrupts communities, destroys
relationships, and harms thousands of Alaskans each year. It comes in the form of
physical, emotional, sexual, psychological, and economic abuse.
WHEREAS, domestic violence is not confined to any group or groups of people; it affects
people of all ethnic backgrounds, economic levels, education levels, family structures,
religions, and ages. It is a pervasive problem in every community in Alaska, large and
small.
WHEREAS, the crime of domestic violence violates an individual's dignity and right to be
safe from violence in their home. It violates the peace and health of communities as well
as the laws of the State of Alaska. Domestic violence is not a private family matter - it
is a crime.
WHEREAS, the existence of domestic violence in our homes transforms the home from a place
that is meant to be loving and safe into a place of danger, despair, and fear. It
diminishes the quality of life for every resident of Alaska.
WHEREAS, the effects of domestic violence on children are devastating and can cause
lifelong problems due to emotional and/or physical trauma. These children are at a^
greater risk of being part of an abusive relationship as adults, thus continuing this
cycle of abuse.
WHEREAS, beyond the suffering of victims, families, and communities, domestic violence
also has financial costs. These include lost income and long-term productivity, medical
care, law enforcement, legal and court expenses, social and emergency services, crime
compensation, and problems in the school and workplace.
PRA GSP01 0006046
WHEREAS, as Alaskans, we must demonstrate with our words and our actions that domestic
abuse will not be tolerated. As Alaskans, we must continue to build alliances among
governments, community associations, businesses, education, and faith-based organizations
that will strengthen our families, teach alternatives to violence, and hold the offenders
accountable for their crimes.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Sarah Palin, Governor of the State of Alaska, do hereby proclaim
October 2007 as:
Domestic Violence Awareness Month
in Alaska, and call on all Alaskans to become active in the fight to end domestic violence
in all of its forms, and to assume the responsibility to make the message clear, both by
word and deed, that domestic violence is unacceptable. Let us continue to mourn those
victims who have died, celebrate those who have survived, and support and respect those
who work to end violence.

MESSAGE :
Dear Governor Palin and aides, rnrnAn email was foarwarded to me from Defenders of Wildlife
regarding your public relations initiative on aerial wolf hunts. I just had some
questions about this, as the email from DOW did not explain a few things :rnrnl) It claims
your PR action violates a Federal law disallowing aerial hunting. I am skeptical. Is
this true? What is your side of that story?rnrn2) Is this an economic development
initiative? I know many of Alaska's areas are quite remote, and it is not as easy to earn
a cash-based living in these areas as it is for me in my suburban Maryland, near a virtual
beehive of commercial trade. Who is benefitting from the aerial hunting operations? Are
these small businesses, possibly even minority- owned? rnrn3) Is this an initiative to
eradicate wolves in a particular area, or will they be managed for profit and (wolf)
health? For example, once the number of wolves is brought down to a certain level, would
the aerial hunting operations
now shift their focus, and arm their customers with binoculars, rather than shotguns?
Just a thought. This very minor adjustment would really make the whole initiative a
highly sustainable economic enterprise with great value for the conservationists among us.
rnrni do know that in Maryland, we really could use a lot of hunters. The whole state is
overrun by deer. They are eating everything, endangered native wild plants along with
suburban people's prized peonies. I believe that people sometimes don't have a realistic
sense of " ; conservation. " Marylanders fiercely protected Bambis from rifles and
cross-bows, to the point where the deer herds currently stand at about 5 times the
carrying capacity of the land we let them occupy. They naturally stray onto our roadways,
where we hit them with our vehicles on a regular, dangerous, and expensive basis, rnmlf
your aides have time, I would appreciate hearing about the 3 questions I had, above.
Thank you for reading my ema
il. rnrnSincerely,rnChristine Biser

I am writing in response to the moose populations in 20A - the moose bilogist there has
been killing cow moose for the last 3 years. We have hunted in this area for 10 years.
During our hunt this year we saw a dramatic decrease in moose populations in this area.
On the Rex trail where we would normally see hundreds of moose tracks we saw only a half a
dozen moose tracks, mrni truely believe that it is wrong to killing cow moose when we
are doing aerial wolf hunts to increase the moose populations. It is an oxymoron to be
doing both, plus it decreases our credibility when we defend Alaska's right to manage our
game as we see fit to the special interest groups. I am asking that an emergency order to
stop all cow moose hunts until this issue can be further studied.

Dear Govenor Palin, rnrni would like to thank you in advance for your continued support on
the predator control program in Alaska. We flew to our cabin last week, it is located in
game management unit 16B. During the flight we counted two grizzly bears and three black
bears. No moose or caribou the entire trip. We have been very active in trying to help
reduce the predator population, as moose and caribou are the mainstay of our food supply.
We choose to eat wild game, do to the healthy aspects, not because we have to. To make a

Subject: Wolf and Bear Control- GMU-13
Dear Governor Palin:
I see where many so called wildlife experts are suggesting that
current predator programs do not follow good biology practices.
I have had property at Swede Lake, off of Mile 16 Denali Highway,
since 1978 and have hunted moose most of the years since then. The
number of moose that I see while hunting have been greatly reduced over
those years.
During the early years of my hunting there it was not unreasonable
to see 20 or so cows, in a day, with current year or forrmer year
calves . This year I saw very few cows with prior year calves and only 4
or 5 current year calves. This was the experience of 4 hunters for 19
days and 2 others in camp at various times.
This has been our experience for the past 6 years or so.
We saw fewer bears and wolves this year and I believe the extra
predator control is starting to have an effect on predators and
hopefully it is not too late for the moose to make a comeback.
I urge you to continue to allow the current predator control
methods to be used. The State of Alaska needs to manage all wildlife

for sustained yield and not for viewing purposes.
Thank you for your consideration of my comments.

Aurora Borealis Stamp Release
Monday, Oct. 1
It's an honor to help celebrate today's release of the
Aurora Borealis single stamp from the Polar Lights

collection. Thank you all - especially Kathy Loera and
Kathy Phillips - for inviting me to join you!
We are so blessed to live in this incredible state where
we get to see the Northern Lights in real life - not just on
a stamp!
But Tm delighted to see that Aurora Borealis, a
phenomenon so closely tied to Alaska, is on a stamp that
celebrates the tradition of this International Polar Year
2007-2008.
This is the fourth time over the past 125 years that
scientists from around the world are banding together to
organize scientific and exploration programs
concentrated in the Polar Regions.
Each polar year has been a hallmark of international
cooperation In science achievement - from the first polar
year in 1882 that included research at Point Barrow - to
the 1932 research that established 40 permanent Arctic
research stations ~ to the 1957 research that confirmed
continental drift and discovered the Van Allen Radiation
Belt encircling the Earth.
This Aurora Borealis single stamp was part of the
International Polar Year souvenir sheet issued jointly on
Feb. 21 by eight countries: the United States, Canada,
Denmark, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and
Sweden.
It's also an honor to recognize our postal workers here
with us and throughout Alaska. You continue the tradition
established when John H. Kinkead (kin-kade) was named
the first postmaster general of Alaska - at Sitka In 1867.

The words on the front of the U.S. Postal Service building
In New York pretty much describe delivering mail in
Alaska - "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of
night stays these couriers from the swift completion of
their appointed rounds."
Congratulations on the issue of this single stamp - and
for the hard work that you do every day in our
challenging environment!

Secondly, I verified - as suspected - that the claims regarding Jim Palin are false. He
was asked by Jim Strandberg, Project Manager w/AEA, to serve on an advisory committee. The
committee doesn't sound as though it is even finalized as they have not even met yet and
the members haven't been solidified. Further, I verified that Jim Palin is not consulting
for anyone.
Needless to say, it is unfortunate that these false claims were even brought up in the
first place.
Thank you for taking care of this and I'll be sure to follow-up with each of you tomorrow
on the documentation.

call the two receptionists who opened the threatening mail and were quarantined separately
from eveiryone else on Friday. They are both young and good natured. They have to deal
with a lot of unpleasant mail and people. They absorb the brunt of what is intended for

You did a good job today for having to walk into that DV ceremony and read a set of comments cold. I'm reaiiy
glad you were able to make it. i think your presence in this arena can make a difference.
Later in the day, I met with the president of the Alaska Christian College in Soldotna. He's got about 42 Alaska
Native Students from about thirty villages, i believe. He took an anonymous survey among the young women who
are part of the school and found that 1 00% claimed on their survey to have been a victim of domestic violence or
sexual assault in their Bush homes. As part of their course of Biblical studies they also get one year of Christian
counseling at the school. On the brighter side, he identified five or six villages where some light and hope are
shining-Hooper Bay, Scammon Bay, Noatak, Unalakleet, Kiana, to name a few.
I'll be in Juneau on Tuesday and part of Wednesday. If you need anything, please let me know.

Mental Health Care from a Distance
Telehealth is the delivery of health related services and information via telecommunications
teclinologies. It may be as simple as two health professionals discussing a case over the
telephone, or as sophisticated as using satellite technology to broadcast a video consultation
between providers in remote locations. Telehealth is much broader than telemedicine, and in
addition to direct services, encompasses administrative and support services,
Telem^if to/ Health is the use of telehealth to provide mental health services, especially to those
in remote locations with shortages of service providers. Telemental health is useful for therapy
and direct services including, medication management, psychiatric consultations, and psychiatric
referrals. In addition to clinical work, telemental health can be used for case management,
continumg education, consultation, and professional peer support.
11/10/2009
PRA GSP01 0006088

In a healthcare environment that is technology-oriented, providers and patients are recognizing the
benefits of telemental health services. Technology has the potential to decrease the gap in services by
increasing education, support, and connectedness between the client and the provider. Healthcare
providers are leveraging tiie powder of video networks to link patients, specialists, and clinicians, thus
extending the reach of specialized healthcare to rural regions. Due to the use of telemental health, rural
patients experience lower out-of-pocket costs, less travel and shorter wait times.
Despite this glowing vision of the future, the majority of facilities that list mental health as an area of
service delivery in addition to general medical services do not have a formal link to their associated
systems of mental health care. Frequently, hospital and primary care networks organize mental health
projects around existing medical services that may lack strong collaborative traditions with the mental
health systems of care.
Telemental Health Issues
Despite the potential value of telemedicine technology, there are barriers to the successful integration of
these advances from an administrative perspective, hich can include technology costs, professional
issues, and legal and confidentiality issues. Furthermore, census data indicate that Americans' access to
usage of the internet varies greatly depending on socioeconomic level. Lower income urban residents
are more than two times as likely to have internet access as those in rural areas at the same lower income
levels.
Professional issues can include reframing the doctor-patient relationship and licensure, mobility, and
reciprocity for healthcare disciplines. The Telehealth Improvement Act of 1999 and the Comprehensive
Telehealth Act of 1999 created a Joint Working Group charged v^th compiling data on the number of
health care providers performing telehealth services across state lines and tracking efforts to develop
imiform national sets of standards for telehealth licensure. A provision of these Acts is that if states are
not making progress in facilitating telehealth services across state lines by eliminating unnecessary
requirements and adopting reciprocal licensing arrangements for such services, then the secretary of
Health and Human Services should make recommendations concerning the scope and nature of Federal
actions required to assist telehealth services.
Advantages and Disadvantages
The obvious advantages taken from the above section are the increased access to professional,
anonymous care. Another major advantage is the cost savings to service providers, given the reduction
in travel expenses for clients. Clients also have increased access to immediate care when needed with
reduced disruption to their jobs or home life.
There are a number of challenges to working with the system. Potentially not having a workforce
dedicated to working pn the videoconferencing system could be one of the larger issues. It can be
frustrating to have the professionals and the clients ready, but not have the technical staff time available
to operate the system. This lack of dedicated technical assistance can lead to scheduling challenges, if
both the behavioral and the medical systems share the telehealth system. While a system may have a
myriad of connection sites, it is also a fmite system with bandwidtii limitations. Overuse of the system at
peak hours can lower the reception and quality of the screen. The technology is constantly changing for
the better; however, this leads to outdated technology needing upgrades, which can involve significant
amounts of money. Confidentiality can be another issue that professionals will need to address at each
end of the system and in transit. The live video data transported through the internet are subject to
HIPP A regulations. This prevents the use of inexpensive store-bought webcam systems, which are
unencrypted and therefore susceptible to hackers. Finally, providers could encounter a number of
possible client issues. Not everyone vdll be willing to use this new technology due to unfamiliarity with
the system, though we presume that children are more likely to be open to the technology than older

adults.
Empirical Support
Despite promising preliminary research, telemental health is not an established evidence-based practice*
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) are
currently conducting research to establish the preliminary data needed to formally label telehealth as an
EBP. There is little data on telehealth mental health care performance beyond consumer satisfaction
surveys and process measures. Proponents have held forth telehealth mental health care as a significant
tool in improving the chronic lack of access to mental health services among rural populations.
Hov^ever, there simply are not enough data available to measure the ability of such telemental health
strategies to enhance access and affect behavioral outcomes.
This is an area where rural service providers could prove invaluable. Developing a systematic way to
gather information from rural providers who have already successfully implemented telemental health
into their services and assist them in gathering the rigorous data needed to develop them into an EBP
will be an invaluable resource.

Mental Health America News Release
September 19, 2007
Senate Passes "Mental Health Parity"
Mental Health America commends Senators for moving to end insurance discrimination and calls on the
House to now pass S.558
Contact: Heather Cobb, (703) 797-2588 or hcobb@mentalhealthamerica.net
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (September 19, 2007)— Mental Health America commends the United States
Senate for passing critical legislation to end mental health insurance discrimination, and its sponsors.
Senators Pete Domenici (R-N.M.), Michael B. Enzi (R-Wyo.) and Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) for their
leadership. The bill - S. 558, the Mental Health Parity Act of 2007 - will ensure that Americans with
employer-sponsored health insurance and their families receive mental health care coverage at the same
level as coverage for general health problems.
"The support of this legislation is overwhelming as it should be," said David Shem, president and CEO
of Mental Health America. "The science is clear. Tomes of research demonstrate the interconnectivity of
mental and general health. Public policy is finally catching up with science through passage of this
important legislation."
S.558 has a wdde range of supporters that, for the first time, includes business and insurance leaders, as
well as mental health advocates. For details on the legislation and more information, go to
www.equitvcampaign.net .
"With passage earlier this summer of legislation that would provide parity in mental health coverage
under both Medicare and the State Children's Mental Health Program, Congress has a historic
opportunity this year to end discrimination against people with mental health disorders in both private
plans and federal health program," said Shem. "As we celebrate this first step, we urge House and
Senate leaders to make history,"
Mental Health America and its national network of affiliates now looks to members of the House to pass
S. 558 and make history.
Mental Health America is the country's leading nonprofit dedicated to helping all people live mentally
healthier lives. With our more than 320 affiliates nationwide, we represent a growing movement of
Americans who promote mental wellness for the health and well-being of the nation — everyday and in
times of crisis. For more information, visit www.mentalhealthamerica.net.

Subject: Meeting Request
Governor - I just received a phone call from Frank Bailey and he had a call from Duane
Bannock with Division of Motor Vehicles. The Division of Motor Vehicles is having a
system program training seminar for approximately 80 employees tomorrow, Wed., 10.03 at
the Marriott Hotel. This is an all day seminar, Mr. Bannock was wondering if the
Governor would be available to stop by for a quick ''thank you for all your work" to the
employees. I will call Mr. Bannock directly if this is something that we think can fit in
for tomorrow. Thank you, Janice

Gosh, I was kind of feeling left out while Dan Fagan picked on you alone— but no more- -I'm
proud to stand with you while I, too, am personally vilified by Fagan. J
I've told my staff not to respond and I've got one person monitoring^having instructed
everyone else to keep their heads down and keep doing their work — though their curiosity
was killing them as they turned off their radio connections.

The Governor was just on Bloomberg TV, live feed at 1pm today. Needless to say SHE
KILLED 1 She was slated to have 7 minutes to talk about taxes, AGIA and corruption. They
had her stay through the break for an extra 5 minutes. Bruce and I watched it online in
my office. She was on message and socked a HOME RUNI I I Bruce and I were going nuts, high
fiving and fist pumping, it was surreal. She did a great job for this state today I

Governor: I have looked into this case and have had a copy of the original case forwarded
to me from Archives in Juneau. I have also spoken with one of the original Troopers (now
Lt, Kat Peterson) that responded to another burglary at the Scott residence on the same
day. As you recall this is the neighbor that Mr. Dickman accuses of being the thief.
The original burglary (case #01-27579) was in a shed that Mr. Dickman stored his property.
It is not on his property and the actual owner of that shed is unknown.
Investigation by Lt. Peterson indicated that the shed and the Scott residence were
burglarized at probably the same time and probably by the same people. Tire tracks were
followed from the shed to the Scott residence. Photos were taken of the tracks and they
were compared to the Scott vehicle. While similar they did not match, Lt. Peterson was in
the Scott residence (all 3 floors) and none of the property of Dickman' s was observed.
During the course of the initial investigation there was follow-up done by Lt. Peterson
based on information provided by Mr. Dickman. No useful information was obtained. This
included a neighborhood canvas to determine if any of the neighbors observed any activity
at the time.
Never at any time was any information documented by investigation that Mr. Scott was the
thief. In fact it appears that he was also a victim. Being advised of this Mr. Dickman has
never been satisfied as he is sure that Scott was responsible.
Over the years Mr. Dickman has repeatedly contacted Commanders and other people within AST
and provided names of people that he claims to have knowledge indicating that Scott was
the burglar. These people have been contacted and indicated no knowledge. He also
indicates that he wants the Scott residence searched for his property. This cannot be done
without a search warrant and unless probable cause exists (which it does not in this case)
a search warrant could or would not be issued.
PRA GSP01 0006110
It would indeed be unfortunate if Mr. Dickman chooses to take the law into his own hands
and confronts Mr. Scott. This would put both of them at high risk and nothing good would
come out it. But there is no documented information indicating that Scott was the thief.
If you wish further information I am available by phone at 269-4519 or cell at 242-5879

"Achievement Trap: How America is Failing Millions of High-Achieving Students from
Lower-Income Families"
http.7/www.jackkentcookefoundation.orq/jkcf web/Documents/Achievement%
20Trap,pdf) , is a report by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation & Civic Enterprises with
original research by Westat It chronicles the experiences of high-achieving lower-
income students during elementary school, high school, college, and graduate school.
VWiile some results are hopeful, other findings suggest that there are far fewer lower-
income students achieving at the highest levels than there should be, they
disproportionately fall out of the high-achieving group during elementary and high
school, they rarely rise into the ranks of high achievers during those periods, and far too
few ever graduate from college or go on to graduate school.
