MESSAGE :

Dear Governor (or screener) ;

Do not pass up the opportunity if it comes your way for VP or even Presidential
position. It is a person like you {and your family since the job is definitely not done
alone) that this country needs. I am a veteran, as is my husband, and what we need is a
commander in chief that is attentive to detail and is not afraid to ask the questions.
Alaska has gotten a bum rap of late but that is due to individuals and not Alaska as a
whole. Should you decide to run for either of the above mentioned positions, you have our
family's support to yours. Keep up the great work, lady. You rock.

Web mail from: Ms. Katrina Nelson
address: 53220 English Ave Kenai AK 99611

MESSAGE :

I'm very concerned with the information in our local town of Nikiski. That due- to
Homeland Security, the local beach acesses available are going to be closed. This is
horrifyingi And should not be allowed, I perssonelly have been born and raised in
Nikiski, I grew up on a homestead, and spent the first half of my life on a Beach site in
the Northern District of Cook Inlet , Now that I have a family of my own, we go to our
beaches 5x a week easy during the summer. We use all the access that are going to be
attemped to close. Using only the Captain Cook State Park access is insane. We are not
tourist. We like the privacy availble to us. to go where our truck/ATV will take us, as
we are always beach combing. We have one Beach Access on Salamatof Rd, which is next to
Tesoro Sc Agruim, which has a gate and Security patroling 24hrs. a day. Local Setnetters
use all the access as well. This issue really needs to be looked at. The beaches in
Nikiski are not only used by locals. We

live at the end of the road. Many tourist use the beaches to look at the platforms. And
for the view. Many people in Kenai, Soldotna & Sterling all come out here to look for
Agates. The only other rocky beaches are out toward Kasilof . This information about the
beach access being closed is very upsetting. I don't see a problem with a Security guard
patroling the parking areas. But the beach is free. My family and many other families
consider the beach our back yard. Personally the beaches is what has kept our and many
families living in Nikiski. Being a very Industrial area, there isn't much to see or due.
I would really appreiciate it if I could get a response from you Sara, I hope to get
this issue resolved. Please let me and the people know what kind of action needs to be
taken to prevent a closer.

I know being from Texas you might not ever see this, but I needed to say thanks to you

I just read an article on you and the reforms you are taking on in Alaska, I only can
begin to wish my repiiblican Gov. would ever have such guts and ethics to do the same here

I have almost totally given up on politics - including voting. I have been vocal to
everyone from local to national politicians and all I see is money, power and the
overwhelming need of the 2 parties to get more of each.

Someone like you makes me think that, at least in one state, that maybe this co\xntry still
has hope.

I think out time is running out as a great nation, and reading of someone taking ethical
stands like you are gives me hope.

Thanks much

Hello Sarah , er Governor

Thank you for being who you are and resetting the agenda to rid the Greed and Corruption
not from our Conservative Brethern, but from all that eat at the trough of greed.

Another issue you need to address just as we are doing so here in Connecticut is the EASE
with which I secured the address and phone number of a Westberg in Alaska. I am not
related to him, but picked it out to prove my point. It belongs to Kris Westberg and I
intend to send him a copy of this. Right now , ZABASEARCH says '^tuFF" to anyone who
wants to opt out of public information. Our privacy is being violated every day in a new
way. States can BLOCK firms such as ZABASEARCH if they are firm in their resolve promoted
by a corageous leader such as our Governor Jodie Rell, who also took over the reigns from
our own corrupt leader. Put this on your agenda and I am sure the whole state will
suppport your efforts.

Sincerely ,

Hello, I read an article about you on the internet today and have great respect' for you.
It was in regard to raising taxes on oil companies and basically stepping on the toes of
people who are not quite doing what they should be doing. Article also said you were very
content with being Governor of Alaska and you were not considering anything else, but were
you to change your mind and run for President you would definitely get my vote and I am
sure my wife would go along with me. We need an honest person that cares about the general
public and not big industry. I was very impressed with what I read. Keep doing things the
way you are doing them, finally I have read about someone in politics who cares.

In a state that proves why the lower 48 suffer from gluttony and stalled politics,! sense
a purpose to your latest fight against the pork-barrel incumbants like Ted Stevens. I
beleive that Diane Fienstein also needs to be looked at as she was a representative during
my tenure in Anchorage that seemed to always vacilate on issues until the last
minute; especially on oil revenue issues.

The only major concern would be the issue of ex post facto, after the law was enacted

HERS ARE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ASKING ABOUT GOVERNOR Palin 'S PROPOSED BUDGET

1. Oil revenues might be up, but production is in steep decline. In the near future, even
if oil prices stay high, there will not be enough production to support the current
size/cost of state government. QUESTION: How does the governor propose to pay for her
expanded and more costly government?

2. The governor ran as a fiscal conservative who was going to hold down the cost of
government and be accountable to the people. QUESTION: Why is the governor proposing to
spend any windfall oil revenue on "wants" before paying off existing debt that are
constitutionally mandated, such as PERS / TERS and money borrowed from the Constitutional
Budget Reserve?

3 . Oil revenues will be greatly diminished before any gas revenues become available to
support the high cost of government. QUESTION: How does the governor propose to bridge
the gap between the current oil revenue and future gas revenue?

PRA GSP01 0009024

4. QUESTION: If the governor transfers money from the earnings reserve account to the
permanent fund principle will that reduce the dividend payment made to citizens?

It would be nice to have these questions answered so that they can be posted on the Eddie
Burke Show KBYR Blog.

I recently read an article on the Bellsouth web page about the work you have done and how
you are not favorable with the Rep, Party for some of the stands you have taken. I just
wanted you to know that I am a Republican and I am proud that you don't let party
influence stand in the way of what is right and wrong. I have tried to teach my two
daughters that if you don^t want to read about it in the paper then don't do it. I look
foward to talking to them about this article. I think it shows a lot of what I would like
them to be when they grow up, strong backbone and a mind of their own. I will pray for
you and your guidance of your state. I hope to visit the state at some time in my life
but I wanted you to know that your story touche me and will make a difference in how I
view the TRUE Rep. Party. That is the honest hard working. Don't think that I could ever
be of help but if so let me know.

God Bless and good luck

; Alaska Governor Shows Fearlessness.

This news item was on my webpage server. I lived in Alaska for a few years and absolutely
fell in love with the state. I hope to come back to visit in the future.

I wanted to congragulate you on your endeavors for your state and what you have done and
intend to accomplish. There are not many public figures that buck the system and do what
they were voted in to do. The tax payors pay their salary and too few remember that.

i I live in Kentucky now, as it is my home state, but our last 2 governors left a sour taste
in my mouth.

i

Keep up your great work.

As a concerned and disaffected Repiiblican, and a veteran, I would ask that you give
serious consideration to running for Vice President in the 2008 election. The party we
once were needs you to do so. You are a shining example of all that used to be good in our
party, and might yet be again. While I know that you have oathes to uphold in your own
state, the national situation is such that I sincerely believe it would be in the nation's
best interests for you to shoulder one more burden.

Your Servant,

toes when necessary regardless of party, as well as bringing in people as part of your

you go the extra mile and then some. And from what I have seen of you picture wise, your
sincereity and integrity shines through as well as you look like a woman of purpose, who
is also a people person. The bible says to pray for our leaders and I am adding you to my

Hi Sarah^

We have corresponded previously, and I just wanted to tell you that I still totally
approve of your Goveimorship i You still are considered by me as "MY GOVERNOR" I ! I have
been in the interior for over 27 years, and know a ton of people and most of them feel the
EXACT same about your leadership. From one Alaskan to another, we owe you a hearty slap
on the back for standing up for us and doing whats right for ALL ALASKANS. Now, I see a
movement to draft you as a Vp candidate for the Republican nominee. I recently changed my
registration from AIP to Republican just so I could vote for Ron Paul in the primary, and
I beg of you, please stay with us here in Alaska! If it were a move to draft you for the
PRESIDENTIAL nomination, well, that would be totally different. Or possibly if you were

■i to run with Ron Paul, that would be different, but as you have stated, I think you can do

:i us more good here at this time. I have seen talk on the net about the fact that you could

;| beat Ted Stevens

1

ij for his seat. That might be an idea, but I cannot tell you how much I appreciate what you
:| are doing for ME and other Alaskans in Juneau. Obviously, we would support whatever you
ii decide to do in regards to your political future plans, but we sure like you where you are
;i today! ! I hope you have had the very best of the Christmas season, and send you the Best
Wishes and Warmest Regards for the upcoming year I We look forward to the many good things
that are in our future here in the Greatest State in the United States of America! Best
Wishes, John Greene

Governor Sarah Palin and staff

As a bom and raised Alaskan of multiple generations, I wanted to send a thank you for the
steps you're taking at correcting the rampant corruption and special interests that go on
in the wonderful state I call my home.

As my father was the Local 302 xznion representative for many years, I was able to hear of
many of the issues with the Big Oil, and the many firms competing for Alaska's numerous
resources from my father and many of his friends. Hearing and seeing the dirty side of
the business at such a young age, it really disillusioned one to the morality and
accountability towards our government.

Again, thank you for being non-partisan and working to better the state, rather than
individual party agendas. It's politicians such as yourself and Dr. Ron Paul, who stand
up for what's right and just, that give disaffected people such as myself hope for the
future of our government, and the desire to actively help out again.

PRA GSP01 0009039

A sincere thanks,
Jason R. Strickland

government . Could you please somehow organize a class for your upper classmen as to what
politics is really about? "Of the People, By the people. For the people" should be the
first words any politiciein ever remembers.

I am 3 7yrs. old and have lost faith in the political system after seeing numerous

Subject: FW: Tennination of Treatment Foster Care Placement Agreement

Bill Evans, DORSEY&WHiTNEY LLP (Counsel to Denaii Family Services)

Since Denall Family Services has removed therapeutic foster care from my foster son's treatment plan
(without guardian consent???), but kept al! of their other BILLABLE??? wrap-around-services in place
(Individual Therapy, Individual Skill Development, Medication Management, Case Management), whom
shall be driving my foster son the 130 miles to his Denaii Family Sen/ices medication appointment
tomorrow at 1830, and giving feedback regarding his behaviors and response to his current dose of
medication? Who shall be picking him up from his Denaii Family Services 1700 therapy appointment on
Monday, and who shall be providing information as to his home and community behaviors, particularly
during his next treatment team meeting due next month?

Since my foster son has never met Denaii Family Service's admission requirements, and the placement
agreement has been expired for an unknown period of time, should DFS even be involved In any future
decision-making or therapeutic processes?

What exactly is expected of this foster home? What payment can we expect and when? If s been 2 weeks
since the CEO of DFS removed us from our foster son's care plan, but we know little else beyond this
fact. Since I will likely have to return to work to replace the income withheld by DFS, I need to have a fast,
definitive, explanation of current foster care pay, and our responsibilities that include schedule and
appointment requirements, so I may work the hours needed to support the needs of this family— that
include a severely emotionally disturbed, mentally retarded, foster son.

Please note: Denaii Family Services has a history putting foster children at-risk, as documented
throughout my report / Matter, by not following their own policies, and ignoring foster parent requests for
help. This persistent pattern of neglect and indifference resulted in the death of 10-year-old Steven
Murray in 07/27/99. and 1 suspect there have been more children. I know of another therapeutic foster
parent, who completed their 8**^ incident report this last summer, without DFS intervention or even
debriefing.

This problem goes beyond just this foster home.

Termination of Treatment Foster Care Placement Agreement

Page 2 of 2

Mr Evans,

Therapeutic Foster Gare ^s included in my foster son's current treatment plan. It is also the one therapy in his care
plan tliat has been consistently stable and successful. Yvonne Chase has never been listed as a member of my
foster son*s treatment team, and as such, does not get to suddenly exclude successful therapies to suit her fancy.
Treatment plan decisions are made by the guardian(s), in a treatment team format. Medicaid pays the bills— NOT
DENALI FAMILY SERVICES. My foster son continues to receive therapeutic foster care therapy in my therapeutic
foster home, and I expect to be reimbursed for services rendered.

Who shall I bill as of 12/13/07?

Ron Cowan, Disability Law Center of AK:

Since this clearly is an effort to cause financial strain in this foster home, and thereby disrupt my foster son's
placement, would you mind running this by your lawyers to advise us of our rights?

Mr. Kitchen and Ms. Starry:
Help. Please.

MESSAGE:

Dear Governor Palin,

I am very distraught over some of the issues that face Alaska in the coming years in
regards to our Fish and Wildlife resources. It has become very apparent as I have done
some research that our State F&G Dept is severely lacking the funding and manpower to do
appropriate and much needed research and studies in regards to our Dall Sheep populations

These are my concerns

#1 There is a very large problem with the poorly regulated guide industry that is little
by little controlling the access to many mountainous areas in all of our mountain ranges
and preventing access to Alaskan residents by practically controlling the air charter
businesses that work in their guide areas because they spend so much money with them.

#2 The guide industry is out of control in their search to provide clients with Alaska's
most prestigious trophy, the Dall Sheep. Guide services are working drainage after
drainage lontil there are few Rams left and then they move on down to the next set of

PRA GSP01 0009055

mountains and repeat the damage they have already done ,'

#3 NO state in the U.S just allows non-residents to buy and over the counter trophy tag
like the Dall sheep. Rocky Mountain Big Horn, Mountain Goat, or Desert Big Horn ,
nonetheless for a measly $425. The tag fees needs to be raised and the ability to purchase
one over the counter without a draw process needs to stop. There are not enough Dall Sheep
in Alaska to support the desire from wealthy hunters from the lower 48 with their dream
hunt , not once but many times, A draw system for non-resident sheep hunters needs to be
established for every unit not just the ones that are currently a draw.

#4 Amongst resident hunters that spend a lot of time in the mountains there is concern
that certain moxintainous areas are severely lacking in sheep, yet no valid and current
research or studies are being conducted due to low funding and manpower. Not even in the
trophy quality classified units. The feds are ahle to support a 20:1 personnel manning for
units as compared to our state biologist and personnel. As much as I attribute the hunting
pressure and harvest of the guiding industry ,on the populations of our wild sheep I also
see a huge need for some heavy predator control in many areas to protect the precious
resource, our wild sheep.

#5 Each and every year it seems as though more and more restrictions are being placed on
resident hunters in sheep hunting units and the reasoning is both unsupported (in some
cases) and or caused by the ever increasing pressure from the guiding industry.

Governor Palin, I can't imagine that you do not care what is happening in our state, and
as I see it Alaska has two major resources. .. .Oil and Wildlife. If we don't do what needs
to be done we will surely lose one of them. I understand that their is huge revenue in the
money non-resident hionters spend in Alaska but very little of it goes to Alaska but mostly
to the same specific companies year after year. I know this is a lot of info and you are
probably not completely aware of these issues, but Governor Pal in, something needs to be
done! We cannot allow commercial hunting to reduce our resources to nothing and at the
same time spend no money in research or prevention (predator control) and just hope it
will all fix itself.

i am very interested in the proposal process for the BOG and have looked into the goals of
the very many orgs that are constantly at work to help correct some of our problems, but
it appears that it is all in vain. There has been talk about creating harvest tag fees for
residents rather than them being free. I support that wholeheartedly as many resident
hunters do but the concerns are vast that even with more f-unding it won't be properly
allocated for its intended purposes. And then to make matters worse there is the political
issues that correlate with raising tag fees and voting and or the fear of not being voted
for. I am simply in awe that we are so politically twisted that we cannot do the right
things to protect that which is what makes our state so great and special. I am a very
frustrated and concerned citizen of this state that feels like he can shout as loud as I
like and yet no one will hear me. I am writing this to you because I could only hope that
you truly care about t

hese issues and hold a special place in your heart for those precious animals that our
state, and only our state has in this coxontry. There are many lessons to be learned from
the mistakes that many other states in our country have made, let us not follow in their
footsteps'

Sincerely,

PRA GSP01 0009056

Governor Pal in asks Customs to exclude Alaska cruises from proposal

New interpretation for Hawaiian cruises would hurt Alaska visitor
businesses

Governor Sarali Palin has asked the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection to back off on a proposed rule interpretation that would harm
the Alaska tourism industry.

At issue is the agency's proposed interpretation of an 1886 maritime law
that would reguiire foreign-owned cruise ships running between the U.S.
West Coast and Hawaii to spend at least 48 hours in a foreign port. The
vessels would also have to spend at least half as much time in a foreign
port as spent in all U.S. ports of call.

PRA GSP01 0009059

If applied to Alaska cruises, the governor said, .the new interpretation
would force cruise lines to significantly cut back their time in Alaska
ports, pulling hundreds of millions of dollars a year out of the Alaska
economy ,

The governor has asked the bureau to exclude Alaska cruises from its
rule interpretation aimed at a specific problem with Hawaiian cruises.
If not, the bureau should at least start over with a full impact review
and piiblic process, the governor said.

"The proposed rule interpretation, aimed at Hawaiian Coastwise Cruises,
would be a dramatic and abrupt shift in policy of the Bureau of Customs
and Border Protection if it were applied to Alaska cruises," Governor
Palin said in her letter. "Taking something that is working well and
changing it - much less on 30 days notice - is not reasonable public
policy. "

If adopted, the new rules could begin for next springes cruise season,
About one million passengers visited Alaska by cruise last year.

"Such a severe and short-notice change in itineraries as would be
required under this proposal could create havoc for communities,
travelers and the industry, " the governor said in her comments to the
Customs Bureau.

"I ask that you either clarify that Alaska cruises are excluded from the
Hawaiian Coastwise Vessels interpretation, or withdraw the proposed rule
interpretation, perform a thorough review of the impacts, and then
follow the normal federal rule-making process, including the opportunity
to comment, "' Governor Palin said in the letter. "This process is
necessary to ensure adequate consideration of all the economic issues at
stake . "

PRA GSP01 0009060

The governor was especially critical of the short p\iblic comment period
provided by the Customs Bureau.

"The official notice in the Federal Register on November 21 was the
first public word of the proposed rule interpretation, " she said.

MESSAGE :
Greetings :

I have lived in Fairbanks, Alaska going on 35 years. In the 70 's, Fish & Game opened a
second season for cow moose. That second season decimated the moose poulation to such low
levels that it took years to recover. Now we have a new generation of Fish & Game
officials who have not bothered to learn from the mistakes of the past. I appeal to these
officials to read the records of the second season debacle from the 70 's. In adition, I
implore these officials to include in their research, the accounts from hunters famliar
with the era, such Leroy Wiederman, John Guichi, or Dick Waugamann,

Governor, I urge you to order the Commissioner of Fish & Game to stop all second season
moose cow hiints until the effects of this practice can be better known. I do not hunt, but
it pains me to see such the unsportsman like second season perpetrated on a herd that
already is suffering from predation and consistent first season hunting pressure. Each cow
killed results in the death of at least two moose. This practice is destroying a resource
that belongs to all Alaskans, both now and those in generations to come.

My very best reagrds to you and your family in this holiday season and in the coming New
Year. I applaud your courage and integrity in facing the difficult issues of the day head

Should developing countries embrace free trade or shelter their nascent industries behind protectionist
walls? This debate has been going on for two centuries since Adam Smith faced off against the
mercantilists. Ha-Joon Chang's "Bad Samaritans" (Bioomsbury, 288 pages, $26.95) is a lively addition
to the protectionist side of the debate. Readers who believe in free trade will not find much in Mr.
Chang that challenges that belief, but the book is well written and far more serious than most anti-
globalization gibberish. . .

Governor Palin asks Customs to exclude Alaska cruises from proposal

New interpretation for Hawaiian cruises would hurt Alaska visitor businesses

Governor Sarah Palin has asked the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection to back off on a proposed
rule interpretation that would harm the Alaska tourism industry.

At issue is the agency's proposed interpretation of an 1886 maritime law that would require foreign-owned
cruise ships running between the U.S. West Coast and Hawaii to spend at least 48 hours in a foreign port. The
vessels would also have to spend at least half as much time In a foreign port as spent in ail U.S. ports of call.

If applied to Alaska cruises, the governor said, the new interpretation would force cruise lines to significantly
cut back their time in Alaska ports, pulling hundreds of millions of dollars a year out of the Alaska economy.

The governor has asked the bureau to exclude Alaska cruises from Its rule interpretation aimed at a spedfic
problem with Hawaiian cruises. If not, the bureau should at least start over with a full impact review and

public process, the governor said.

'The proposed rule Interpretation, aimed at Hawaiian Coastwise Cruises, would be a dramatic and abrupt shift
in policy of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection if it were applied to Alaska cruises/ Governor Palin
said in her letter. ""Taidng something that is working well and changing It - much less on 30 days notice - is
not reasonable public policy."

If adopted, the new rules could begin for next spring's cruise season. About one million passengers visited
Alaska by cruise last year.

"^Such a severe and short-notice change in itineraries as would be required under this proposal could create
havoc for communities, travelers and the industry," the governor said in her comments to the Customs
Bureau.

""I ask that you either clarify that Alaska cruises are excluded from the Hawaiian Coastwise Vessels
interpretation, or withdraw the proposed rule Interpretation, perform a thorough review of the impacts, and
then follow the normal federal rule-making process, including the opportunity to comment," Governor Palin
said in the letter, "^This process is necessary to ensure adequate consideration of all the economic issues at
stake."

The governor was especially critical of the short public comment period provided by the Customs Bureau.

"The official notice in the Federal Register on November 21 was the first public word of the proposed rule
interpretation," she said.

FYI, I just advised Beth that all press contacts on the Pt Thomson' litigation should go
to Nan Thompson. This is for several reasons;

1. Nan is the DNR' person most up to speed on the technical, legal issues on the Pt
Thomson' litigation;

2 . This Superior Court decision WILL be appealed to the Supreme Court and therefore we
must continue to be careful with what is said about the case;

3. The Superior Crt decision is a BIG win for the State, but, there is a "remand" to DNR
embeded in the decision, and we need to be aware of that with whatever is said.
Furthermore, we haven ^t sorted out what this remand requires and what the implication of
the remand might be.

ethics at a time when it is sorely needed. I am incredibly proud to know that a young
woman (yourself) has the courage to do what she believes is right in a male dominated,
oftentimes corrupt system. Having been involved in local politics I can only imagine how
difficult that is at the state level.

I have always maintained that I would support a candidate whose platform differed from
mine as long as they were in politics for the right reasons . The country needs more like
you and if you ever decide to r\in nationally, you have my support.

Thank you for being such a positive role model.

Sincerely,

PRA GSP01 0009094

Dear Governor Palin,

With your sucess in crippling the crooks in Alaska, maybe you should consider doing the
same in Washington, D.C.

Not only are your ethics a fresh breeze in the world of politics, you are way better

Keep up the "good fight".

I read an article on the front page of the Spokesman -Review (very positive) this morning
on the fine job you are doing as Alaska's Governor,

It is very refreshing to see a family step forward to show the American people they can
make a positive difference.

It is not necessary to respond. I just wanted you to know that there are many people
outside Alaska are very impressed with the leadership direction you are taking. Please let
your family know we appreciate the support they provide you as well.

Hi Governor,

I am glad we have a good govenor as yourself to bring your state back in
line concerning morals. It takes a good person to bring this subject back
to the mainstream. I have learned over the years that money talks even
when it is unlawful to take bribes and kickbacks- Anyone from your state
should be very happy to have such an outstanding leader, family values,
and work ethics as you do. Wow, our state even locked the Speaker of the

god can give. Come on and run in N.C.

I read an interesting article about you on Yahoo this evening concerning your recent
legislative achievements including raising taxes on Big Oil and your courageous ethics
probes. While I'm hardly a constiuent, and am a registered Independent that tends to vote
Democratic, I have to say that you might possibly be the only Rep\ablican I^d EVER consider
voting for... keep up the good work. If we're ever going to turn this country back around
and restore at least a semblance of credibility to the electoral process, it'll be in
large part due to the efforts of public servants like yourself.

Dear Governor Palin.

Lona and 1 hope that you had a very (Vlerry Christmas and are asking that you have a Happy New Year.
I just finished reading the article about you in the Spokesman-Review and am very pleased. You are
making a dramatic change in Alaska in standing for ethics and what is right and not letting the "political
correct" have its way.

As an example, we have an antique/vintage/home decor shop in Oldtown, Idaho which is 1 block away
from Newport, Washington. Over this Christmas season i have wished everyone a Merry Christmas as
that Is what the season is ail about, the birth of Jesus, it Is amazing the responses I get of which the
most are that people would like to continue with the old tradition of Merry Christmas instead of a Family
Tree or Holiday Tree or whatever other nonsense there is. My saying for many years now is that if it is
political correct, it is probably 99.9% biblically and morally wrong.

I may have told you this in previous emails, but I feef the same about fish and wildlife, especially after
being an Alaska State Trooper and also a Fish and Wildlife Officer, and that is if the politicians and the
environmentalists would not interfere with the wolf, grizzly bear, whales, salmon issues, etc , with
money, power, greed and control and trying to get votes for the next election, but do what is right and let
the Fish and Game Management manage the Game and Wildlife as they have been taught to do
without any personal gain of their own, 1 don't believe there would ever be a problem of over/under
fishing or hunting or whatever the case may be. To many people want to have their hands In the pie
that don't need to be involved and a lot of the reason is for power, greed and control. That is why our
fuel situation is the way it is today - power, greed and control and absolutely no excuse for it.

My heart still goes out to Alaska and all the people that live there, especially the natives. It goes way
back to my childhood and if there was a way that I could help them - i would, i am sure a lot of it is
when I was a State Trooper In Kodiak and the Alaska Peninsula.

I am not sure how long I will be tn the real estate market. I have been in it less than a year and find it
very cutthroat and greedy. There are a lot of classes on ethics but very seldom followed. It is very hard

1 1/9/2009

for me to sell something that is oveNpriced to begin with. It is also hard for me to see people losing their homes
to foreclosure, and yes it could be their fault as well because they over-extended but just the same they are
going through a very difficult financial time and then other people who are picl^ing up the foreclosures and are
getting rich off them, it is not right and something needs to be done about both sides of that situation.

I am very proud of you and your staff for making some strong stands and not being swayed to the right or left for
whatever might come against you, but staying true for what is right and moral for the State of Alaska and the
people of Alaska. I wish that more states would follow example.

As you look to the Lord in everything, may He give you His wisdom, strength, comfort, joy, peace and may His
love be shown through you on a daily basis in everything and wherever you are. Blessings to you, your family,
staff and the people of Alaska, John and Lona Bockemuehl

An Ohio judge ruled that the Staric-Tuscara was- Wayne Solid Waste

Association (NSWMA) filed a lawsuit challenging the validity of such a law.

was "within its rights" but delayed enactment of the rule from 3an. 1 until
June 1, 2009. NSWMA general counsel David Biderman said the group was

On ttie edge of downtown Detroit, just east of the Chrysler Freeway and not far from Detroit's still-

residential developments. Composed of three sections -- a high-rise apartment buUdmg and 21

multiple-unit townhouses on the western border, 13 acres of landscaping down the center, and twin

apartment towers on the east — Lafayette Park holds the largest collection of buddings in the world

designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. . .

Silent Night Bah Humbug
Posted by Benjamin Zycher

The looming election season does not bode well for the triumph of peace and quiet. So you think that
SCHIP and Medicare and Medicaid and the VA and the other health-care machinations that show up on
the front page are enough to keep the elves busy on Capitol Hill? Guess again. In the last year, even a
quick review reveals the following attempts at health-care meddling, in various stages of completion in
the legislative oven. . .

Channel 2 and the AP ran short stories on the issue of the Feds proposed change in the
cruise ship rules. Our letter opposing the rule change was mentioned. So far. Governors
of Maine, Florida, and California and our congressional delegation have also sent in
comments opposing the rule change.

Status at this point is that LAW has an attorney reviewing the rule change and the
procedure used by the Feds to propose the change* We should have results from that
research in 2-3 weeks.

Joe,

FYI, I just advised Beth that all press contacts on the Pt Thomson' litigation should go
to Nan Thompson. This is for several reasons;

1. Nan is the DNR' person most up to speed on the technical, legal issues on the Pt
Thomson' litigation;

2. This Superior Court decision WILL be appealed to the Supreme Court and therefore we
must continue to be careful with what is said about the case;

3. The Superior Crt decision is a BIG win for the State, but, there is a "remand" to DNR
embeded in the decision, and we need to be aware of that with whatever is said.
Furthermore, we haven't sorted out what this remand requires and what the implication of
the remand might be.

Thanks,
Marty-

Governor,

Privileged or Personal Material Redacted

I wanted to pass along that Beth and I have been working on the first run of the State of
the State. I have been thinking about how to tie together a number of items on a big
vision scale and having Beth help pull together concepts and research to include in the
text (unemployment rates, economic indicators, new jobs on the slope, etc.). I was
planning on preparing about a 35 minute draft that I can get to you by the end of Monday.
Let me know if this will work for you.

I have corresponded with Chuck Hamel regarding his latest letter to you and Chairman
Miller. I have also sent an inquiry to the State Fire Marshall's Office regarding the
existence of a GCl daily log that he claims proves a cover up. This inquiry is in
addition to the information request sent to the PSIO which resulted in many pages of
material. I requested specific evidence from Chuck and he said he would prepare some
information for me this weekend. His allegations against BP are strong and his criticism
of DPS and DNR is unforgiving. I can send you the recent emails if you like but he claims
our failure to comment to the Wall Street Journal this week was a political bliinder, I
don't see the ability to say much more than we are researching his claims until he
provides more specific evidence.

The employee salary issue and the press office are still on the top of my mind. I am
holding off any action until we discuss f\irther. If you have direction or additional
questions, please let me know.

Thank you

Mike

regarding what he might like to add.

Good convo, but. he certainly wants us to work with them on gasline. He said- very
confidentially- he's able by next week to "bring along another producer". He mentioned
TransCanada numerous times in the convo. . . I said I recognized and could appreciate cp's
relationship with tc and wondered if they still anticipate hooking up to work together on
gasline. He said that is what he anticipates.

Told him we^re committed to AGIA, won't dismiss their plan out-of-hand, but with no known
fiscal term requirements (he says it's still 20-25 yrs with no oil tax lockup request), no
upstream recjuirements made known to us, and no committment of cp'.s own gas for this
project (he insists it's in their offer/plan, but will double check with his guys on
that), that their offer just doesn't seem to be in our best interest.,. I reminded him
we're still evaluating the law-abiding applications.

I tried not to take too much delight in reminding him how much we desire to work with them
on all oil/gas developments, but some of his peeps weren't helping the cause at all on
that front as they continue to, essentially^ bad mouth our administration's actions and
intentions (was mostly thinking of Rick Solie and a few others) , I told him he needed to
know that. He says that's unacceptable that there's anything going on like that and they
should have only one message - that they're glad to work with us.

He wanted to make sure I remembered cp broke away from the boys on this - I said I was
very glad to see that, and cp proves it's the Big Dog by taking such action.

Must be BP he's referring to when confiding he'd bring along another producer?
asic t

I didn't

Governor, Mike,

Pat and Tom were just discussing the Cabinet Meeting scheduled for next Friday, January
4th, from lOam-noon. I wanted to let you know that this was the same date/timeframe we
were hoping to use on the AGIA "completeness review" press conference. This roll- out must
be sequenced as follows:

9:00am - 9:45am - Briefing Congressional delegation;

9:45am - 10:30am - Phone calls to Legislative leadership and specific friendly legislators
by one team; as well as phone calls to all Applicants hy another team;

11; 00am - 12noon - Press Conference announcing results of AGIA* completeness review;

No Later Than 12noon - Legal & Public Notices hand- delivered to the Anch Daily. News by
their noon deadline. It is this public notice that allows us to make the AGIA'
completeness review public and triggers the public review. Legally these must be
sequenced and this entire roll-out must occur before the Daily News noon deadline.
Therefore, if this schedule cannot occur on the morning of January 4th, we need to have
the AGIA' "completeness review" press conference delayed to January 7th, as we cannot be
ready before the 4th. Please advise how I should handle this as X have the team really
"cranking" in order to make the 4th, and waiting till the 7th would provide them a bit of
breathing room.

Thanks, and if you want to talk, please call me at #317-4728.

S-ubject: Energy Strategy

Governor and Mike, since we last visited on December 6 about the Administration's energy
policy including potential comments for the state of the state, we have been spending
time evaluating ideas to move an energy plan forward based on what we felt were decisions
in that meeting. We haven't heard anything directly but we are hearing rumors about
changes in direction. If there are changes X think we should have been involved in the
discussions. What is expected from DNR at this time? As always we are more than willing
to help and I continue to feel this is a crisis. We have lots of Alaskans really hurting
from high energy costs. Thanks. Tom

When you were elected governor, we weren't sure what to expect but let us say that we are
both pleasantly surprised. It is so refreshing to have a "fresh face" in government. You
have given us hope for a more responsible and more honest government. We appreciate you
standing up to the oil and gas. industry and the entrenched "good old boys", many of whom
as you know are controlled by big business lobbyists.

So far we have seen nothing but good coming from your office and you have two new
supporters in us. Keep up the good work. If we can be of service in your next election,
please contact us .

MESSAGE :

Govenor Palin,

There is a buzz in the grassroots campaign of Congressman Ron Paul that you would be a
great choice to run as Vice President of our nation in his administration. I tend to
agree with this assessment. Dr.. Paul has been quite receptive to suggestions from his
grassroots, and he may decide to look into our recommendation. Would this be something
you would be receptive to? Please give it some thought.

Thanks i

Joe

I wanted to pass along that Beth and I have been working on the first run of the State of the State, I have been
thinking about how to tie together a number of items on a big vision scale and having Beth help pull together
concepts and research to include in the text (unemployment rates, economic indicators, new jobs on the sjppe,
etc.). I was planning on preparing about a 35 minute draft that I can get to you by the end of Monday. Let me
know if this will work for you.

I have conresponded with Chuck Hamei regarding his latest letter to you and Chairman Miller. I have also sent an
inquiry to the State Fire Marshall's Office regarding the existence of a GC1 daily log that he claims proves a cover
up. This inquiry is in addition to the infonnation request sent to the PSIO which resulted in many pages of
material. I requested specific evidence from Chuck and he said he would prepare some infontiation for me this
weekend. His allegations against BP are strong and his critidsm of DPS and DNR is unforgiving. I can send you
the recent emails if you like but he claims our failure to comment to the Wall Street Journal this week was a
political blunder. I don't see the ability to say much more than we are researching his claims until he provides
more specific evidence.

The employee salary issue and the press office are still on the top of my mind. I am holding off any action until

Governor,

I am sure you have seen this but Marty is suggesting that we possibly delay the AGIA
announcement to the 7th given the conflict with the cabinet meeting. My opinion is that
we can move the cabinet meeting to the 7th or 8th if needed rather than the AGIA
announcement. I can not think of anything that is so critical that we could not wait
another day or two to discuss with the cabinet,.

No Later Than 12noon - Legal & Public Notices hand-delivered to the Anch Daily* News by

Metcalfe: McGuire lobbied and bribed

'UGLY ALLEGATIONS': The new complaint to the APOC is ridiculous, her lawyer says

By SEAN COCKERHAM

scockerham@adn . com | scockerham@adn. com

Anchorage Daily News; December 29th, 2007 04:52 AM

U.S. Senate candidate Ray Metcalfe filed a complaint Friday with the Alaska Public Offices
Commission that claims state Sen, Lesil McGuire 's work as a consultant for Providence
Health System amounted to "lobbying and bribery,"

It's the latest in a series of accusations that Metcalfe has leveled against McGuire, an
Anchorage Repiiblican.

Her lawyer, Charles Dxnmagan, said that the claim is ridiculous and Metcalfe's previous
accusations have been dismissed.

PRA GSP01 0009177

"It is easy to bandy about these ugly, tigly allegations," Dunnagan said.

McGuire described her 2003 work for Providence on state financial disclosure forms as
"consulting and research." Metcalfe, who lost to McGuire in a 2000 race for the state
House of Representatives, alleges in his written complaint that it was something more.

"I believe APOC should require her to amend her description of her work to read 'lobbying
and bribery, ' " charged Metcalfe, who is running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat, He
said McGuire was paid to advise Providence on how to get money from the state .

The complaint also asks the Alaska Public Offices Commission to refer the matter to the
criminal division of the state Department of Law and the legislative ethics committee.

Metcalfe's original complaint to the public offices commission, filed in March, alleged
McGuire kept changing her description of what she did for the money. The commission, after
hearing from Metcalfe at a meeting in September, expanded the investigation to also cover
whether McGuire had done actual work for the $10,500 she received from Providence.

The commissioners unanimously decided earlier this month that there was no evidence to
support the allegations. So they dismissed Metcalfe's complaint.

But documents released as part of that APOC investigation showed that McGuire 's consulting
job included working with Providence's lobbyist, former Rep. Eldon Mulder, on how the
hospital could get money from the state as part of a land deal involving the old Alaska
Psychiatric Institute.

One of the commission members, Elizabeth Hickerson, said she thought it was a conflict of
interest for McGuire to have been involved in lobbying strategy. At a meeting on Sept. 14,
Hickerson wanted to send the issue to the legislative ethics committee to decide if there
was a violation.

But the commission members voted 3 to 2 to instead postpone the subject until their
February meeting. APOC's staff and lawyer are to look into it in the meantime.

Assistant attorney general Jan DeYoung has told the commission she does not think what
McGuire did coxmts as lobbying under the law. That's because there's no evidence McGuire
had communication with lawmakers on behalf of Providence, DeYoung told APOC.

Metcalfe argues in his new complaint that is too narrow a definition of lobbying. He also
argues that it is bribery for a state legislator to get paid to advise a company on
legislative strategy.

McGuire provided a sworn statement to APOC that her work for Providence did not involve

2

PRA GSP01 0009178

legislation or health care issues before the Legislature. She also said in the statement
that she "never crafted or sponsored a budget item, that, to my knowledge, benefited
Providence . "

Her lawyer, Dunnagan, said APOC has not found any wrongdoing by McGuire, while it keeps
finding Metcalfe's claims against her to be iinsubstantiated. Dunnagan said APOC
proceedings should not degenerate into a forum to say nasty things about public officials
with no evidence.

He also said Metcalfe shouldn't make baseless allegations against Providence.

"No matter how he feels about McGuire, who beat him in an election, this is one of the
largest employers in the state, the Sisters of Providence, " Dunnagan said, "This has some
serious implications."

Metcalfe filed his complaint late on Friday afternoon. A Providence spokeswoman did not
have an immediate comment on it. McGuire did not return a message on her cell phone Friday
night regarding the latest complaint.

Metcalfe, who founded the Republican Moderate Party, has a history of pressing APOC
complaints. He was among the first to publicly cry foul over former state Senate President
Ben Stevens' consulting contracts. Stevens is now under federal investigation but has not
been charged and denies wrongdoing.

I wanted to pass along that Beth and I have he&n working on the first run of the State of
the State. I have been thinking about how to tie together a number of items on a big
vision scale and having Beth help pull together concepts and research to include in the
text (unemployment rates, economic indicators, new jobs on the slope, etc.). I was
planning on preparing about a 35 minute draft that I can get to you by the end of Monday.

PRA GSP01 0009182

liet me know i£ this will work for you.

I have corresponded with Chuck Hamel regarding his latest letter to you and Oiairman
Miller, I have also sent an inquiry to the State Fire Marshall's Office regarding the
existence of a GCl daily log that he claims proves a cover up. This inquiry is in
addition to the information request sent to the PSIO which resulted in many pages of
material. I requested specific evidence from Chuck and he said he would prepare some
information for me this weekend. His allegations against BP are strong and his criticism
of DPS and DNR is unforgiving. I can send you the recent emails if you like but he claims
our failure to comment to the Wall Street Joiirnal this week was a political bl\mder. I
don't see the ability to say much more than we are researching his claims vmtil he
provides more specific evidence.

The employee salary issue and the press office are still on the top of my mind. I am
holding off any action until we discuss further. If you have direction or additional
questions, please let me know.

Thank you.

Mike

We can talk about some of their challenges later, but here's another group with a heart

Great message by Galvin in today's adn. Alaskans need that assurance that the doom/gloom
rhetoric spewed by some can be tempered with our reasonable assessment of the environment:
that AK is extremely attractive {be of the points Pat makes in today's article)... It
goes along with the Lt. Governor's point made about hope and opportunity this
administration wants to, and can, provide Alaskans.

Good timing with the interview, as recently it's seemed a positive message has been
silenced, compared to industry spokespersons' negative talk.

Thanks, all! And this will be an outrageously good week with good announcements for
Alaskans !

2008 speech before the end of 2007. Anyway, let me know if you think it is on the right track.

I thought I would take a break from it today and read it over fresh tomorrow. On Wednesday, I thought I
would have a small group made up of special assistants and Larry Persiiy help me fact check and test
sensitivity and direction. There are some items In the draft that have not been made public yet. Two
examples are Habitat and Health Care refonrt measures so I will be careful not to send it out.

Last year's speech was 4300 words and seemed a bit long. I tried to keep it shorter this time. This draft
is now 3800 words, hopefully close to the 35 minute target I was shooting for.

Happy New Year!

MESSAGE :

To Honorable Governor Palin,

Today I read the sad accounting of Benazir Bhutto's last moments. The loss of this great
woman as a leader in an area of the world where women are rarely given any of the rights
we take for granted in our country is immeasurable. What a sorrowful day for the people of
Pakistan and for all of human and civil rights.

As I was reading this in my favorite coffee shop, I looked up and saw a bumper sticker
hanging near the door. It said "Alaska: The coolest spot, the hottest governor." I
realize you have absolutely no control over what is printed about you, but you do have
control over magazine pieces featuring style and various other current fashionable trends .

I am a mother of two daughters who attend the University of Fairbanks. We discussed the
bumper sticker and the magazine issue. While both girls agreed it is part of being the
first female governor and being much more attractive than previous governors, they also
agreed that your actions beyond the regular duties of governor should always answer the
question of how will this increase the positve role of women as intelligent, thoughtful
leaders .

MESSAGE :

Governor Palin, I worked for the State of Alaska for 18 years, 17 of those handling only
Medical Board cases, I retired in late 05 and them moved to Texas. I spoke with you prior
to your run for Gov, and thought then that you were the person to do the job. I just read
an article in the San Antonio Express News about the progress in Alaska that you have
made--makes me wish I had stayed with the state a little longer. It is great to see that
the old guard has fallen alongside the road and that you have taken steps to make
government work for the whole state not just a chosen few as has been the case too often
in the past ,

I congratulate you on the job you are doing and wish you a bright political future.

Colin Matthews.

Dear Governor Palin:

Please refer to the following Army Times Article,

http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/12/ap_wainwright_licenses_071228/

X agree the Armed Forces personal were In the wrong to falsify hunting license
information. However, I think this reflects poorly on the State of Alaska. Members of the
Armed Forces rarely have any choice in their duty assignments and are moved often. Many
are thrust from their normal cultural environment, and then placed at even greater
personal risk. No Private/ Airman/ Seaman every got rich off his/her salary. So, I find it
disconcerting anyone would make it harder to obtain what little enjoyment they might have.
I hope the Citizens of Alaska might consider doing something similar to Michigan, and
provide a discount to any' active duty member of our Armed Forces.

speech before the end of 2007. Anyway, let me know if you think it Is on the right track.

1 thought I would take a break from it today and read it over fresh tomonrow. On Wednesday, i thought 1 would
have a small group made up of special assistants and Lanry Persily help me fact check and test sensitivity and
direction. There are some items in the draft that have not been made public yet Two examples are Habitat and
Health Care reform measures so I vwil be careful not to send it out.

Last year's speech was 4300 words and seemed a bit long. I tried to keep it shorter this time. This draft is now
3800 words, hopefully close to the 35 minute target I was shooting for.

Happy New Year!

Subject: Cook Inlet LNG SetHement information (in draft form)

Governor, All,

Attached are "draft" documents that will be useful for the Cook Inlet LNG Settlement' press conference

scheduled for Thursday, January 3"*, at 12 noon. Attached are:

1) Govemor's Talking Points - "strawman" Opening Statement.

We propose that your opening comments be followed by Opening Statements from:

a. Conoco Phillips (made by Jim Bowles, President ConocoPhillips, AK);

b. Marathon Oil (made by Steve Hinchman, Sr. V-P Worldwide Production, out of Houston); &, tentatively,

c. Enstar, or Semco Energy/parent company of Enstar (made by Gene Dubay, Sr V-P of Operations, out
of Michigan)

2) Settlement/Agreement Overview (a brief description of the agreement reached between the SOA, CP & MO); &

3) Questions & Answers document (addressing questions/Issues that may arise during or after the press
conference.)

As I've noted, these are draft documents that are still being worked on by the team, however, I thought you might
like the opportunity to spend some time on them before the press of the week truly starts.

Please note that we are proposing that you and the principals from the two companies make Opening
Statements. Then we are thinking that the negotiating team members respond to any questions. However, we
are open to whatever structure you would like, so please advise what works for you. The Opening Statements
from CP and MO are still being developed. Once I have them in hand I will fonvard them to you. I am told they
intend for ttieir comments to be briefer than yours.

One final note, the Settlement Agreement is to be signed by the Dept of Law, DNR and by the two companies.
We Intend to sign this agreement sometime before the press conference, perhaps on Wednesday morning.

Thanks again,
Marty

Your BP email did come through. The amount was interestingly a coincidence. After
backing out interest penaties and and a $80 million piece that will be addressed
separately, the BP amount came to $379.

The museum info, I will have Karen send you more but it is a combination of deferred
maintenance and historical preservation. The state owned museum is not in good shape or
adequate. I guess we have historical documents piled high. The water pipe that broke in
the state office building flooded a lot of books and although it was in close proximity to
our historical photo collection, luckily they were not harmed. The new museum would
provide safe storage for many of these unreplaceable historic items.

Subject: AMHS Operating Plans 2008/2009 along with a few questions, thoughts,concerns» and ideas?

Mr. Chuck Van Kirk,

Happy New Year.

I am writing to voice my concerns regarding the most recent proposed operating plans for the
AMHS fleet re-deployment in Summer 2008 through 2009.

As one of the Captains aboard the Fairweather you can probably understand why I am not in
favor ofthe change ofpuUing the FVFFairweatiier from the Summer Lynn Canal route. The
Fairweather has been #1 over the past couple of years for having carried the most passengers and
vehicles fleet wide. The public has been very happy with this vessels comfortable interior and
greatly enjoys riding aboard it as well as the short transit times provided by it*s speedy service
along with morning departures from Juneau, (ABY), that get people up to Haines, (HNS), and
traveling North on the highway by 1030 AM. I find it a bit fiiastrating when AMHS establishes
or experiments with some new or different routes with some of our ships to only have the public
get used to a schedule for 4 years with reliable Summer service, (ie; Fairweather), on set days of
the week at set times of the day that they can count on and then we do a major change up of this
type as shown in the 2008/2009 AMHS Operating Flan. This type of re-deployment of vessels
causes a major disruption of service within the system that greatly affects the traveling public
and businesses and I don*t see it as an advancement or change for the better. I realize that every
port would probably love to have day boat service with convenient day time departures and
arrivals but this just isn't possible with our present fleet of vessels. I thought an FVF, (Fast
Vehicle Ferry), was supposed to bridge the gap in Lynn Canal and take the place of the Lyim
Canal highway and/or to cover for the time frame while the road was being built? The
Fairweather is an excellent platform for this Lynn Canal corridor service and if s design is well
suited to allow for a double run per day up and down Lynn Canal which equates to a larger
slower boat capacity all within a day boat, (12 hr schedule), operation with reduced crew size
and costs.

So I imagine this proposed new re-deployment of vessels will probably end up becoming reality
so before I get to far along I have a few questions regarding some parts of the operating plan so
hopefully I will more fully understand the reasoning behind some of the changes. I hope I am
not coming across as being opposed to change since change is usually inevitable and as every
one knows AMHS seriously needs some changes. We all know that AMHS definitely needs to
tighten it's belt and try and save where it can by maximizing some of the efficiencies that are
already available to us if some of our present vessels were utilized to there maximum potential
and effectiveness by matching the best class of vessels to operate upon there most effective and
efficient routes. This is something that can be done now to bridge tiie gap as new road
connections become reality and new types of ferries are buih and phased into the system to move
AMHS ahead to become a more efficient transportation operation tiiat the public can trust and

reiy on and the crews can feel proud of.

#1 If the Malaspina is re-deployed to Lynn Canal, how wUl it be set up and what are it's effects on
the other parts of the system?

a) Will it be a "Day Boat"? (How will crew levels be set?, will they run during the day and tie up at
night - day crew/night cleaning & maintenance crew like FWX?)

b) Will it be based in HNS? (If the vessel is based here and departs in the AM South to JNU then
people heading North up the Highway from HNS or SGY worft get going on the road until late in the
evening which seems like an odd time to start driving on a big road trip for most people!)

c) If it is based in HNS what kind of a running schedxile will it operate on? A 16 knot vessel like the
Malaspina class can not cover the ports of JNU,HNS and SGY on a full round trip sailing schedule
within a 12 hr period so either some ports and route connections will not be possible with this type of
vessel operating as a day boat with a single crew or it will have to run 16 - 18 hrs per day and operate
with a fUlly staffed crew? If this were the case operating with a full crew aboard I don't see any savings
from the Fairweather costs. In fact it will cost plenty more to operate a full size, (408'), mainliner as a
day boat even if the USCG allows some reduction in crew size. In comparison the Fairweathers daily
costs are about the same as they are for the 235' LeConte and Aurora class vessels but with twice the
speed allowing it to bridge greater distances in a short time frame. So in essence die public will end up
having to go back onto the slow boat schedule for longer transits between the ports that were previously
served by convenient fast ferry day boat service? This type of route is ideal for an HSC since they are
mainly designed to be most efficient on short to medium distance routes with high volume traffic flow.
Out of all the routes in the system the Lynn Canal route fits this description and the FVF Fairweather
HSC class vessels are best kept on this route. A high speed craft day boat can't be put onto the
Bellingham route due to it's distance of route and not having any staterooms. But a large 16 knot ship
with overnight accommodations for handling long distance passage type routes is ideal and the
Malaspina fits that description. The Malaspina never had the SOLAS upgrades done aboard it so it
cannot operate into a foreign port, (ie; Prince Rupert). But it can operate through foreign waters which
works out excellent for operations on the Bellingham route.

d) Last but not least by re-deploying the Malaspina onto the Lynn Canal route the system looses a much
needed vessel on the previously established second vessel sailing to/from the port of Bellingham. This
second vessel has been operating for the past 5 years along with the Columbia on the Bellingham run
since the Columbia had previoxjsly been selling out weekly over the Summer and the system was turning
away traffic/commerce tiiat wanted to get North to Alaska via Ferry. So as this extra ferry was added to
take up the slack it started out with light to medium loads but as it established itself the loads have
steadily increased with 50%- 75% loads over most of the Summer season. So I think going back to a
single BeUingham ship, (Columbia), once per week is a move back words in providing a service to the
public as well as bringing in revenue for the system.

#2 With the Fairweather being re-deployed onto the JNU/SIT/JNU run 5 days per week what
effects will this have for the FWX and other vessels within the fleet?

a) Past Fairweather JUN/SIT Summer loads have generally been light so going from the previo\is 2 or 3
days to Sitka per week to 5 for the Summer season doesn't se^m very cost effective unless some of the
other ships in the fleet are re routed off the Sitka route.

b) If other ships are taken off the Sitka route so the FWX can haul there loads then this will justify the
added runs between Juneau, (AB Y), and Sitka, (SIT). This would also free up those main line vessels

10/29/2009

PRA GSP01 0009227

Page 3 of 6

that don*t stop in Sitka to add additional runs elsewhere within the system possibly using the added
available remaining time they will have in there schedule each week. Also, without those mainline
vessels not having to run through Sergius Narrows to Sitka ihey mil eliminate the variable that was
caused in the schedules in having to make the transits at or near slack water. These main liners would
then only have to contend with tiie lack of enough water depth, (Most mainline ferries require a
minimum holdover of tidal stage to safely transit Wrangell Narrows ), depending on the tidal stage for
transits of Wrangell Narrows as being the only real variable for there schedules. So there could be some
positive outcome from having the Fairweather running more to Sitka as long as other scheduling
changes are made within the fleet between certain vessels and coordinated to maximize the use of the
added runs on the FWX schedule.

#3 With the Fairweather being re-deployed onto the JNU/PSG/PSG run 2 days per week what
effects will this have for the FWX and other vessels within the fleet?

a) This run in the Summer always could have been a possibility once or twice a week for the FWX as a
supplement to the schedule if it could be coordinated to fit with other vessels to allow routing of
passengers for through traffic directly to or from PSG and ABY and connecting with other vessels that
may be destined for other ports?

b) One possibility is if a North bound main liner say from Bellingham or Prince Rupert had stopped
through PSG and dropped off passengers that were headed North to JNU or HNS or SGY, The
Mainliner could then head North West towards SIT and then to JNU. This takes an extra day for
passengers headed for JNU via that routing so if they got off tiie ship in PSG v^thin a few hours of our
arrival from JNU then they codd ride the FWX North boxmd direct to JNU and/or catch the day boat up
Lynn Canal the next day if that is there eventual destination. The same could happen the other direction
if a mainliner or the Lynn Canal day boat brings passengers and vehicles South to JNU then we could
take some of those people South to PSG to connect with either the IFA ferry at South Mitkof or possibly
get picked up on the next South bound mainliner tiiat was coming South via Sitka to PSG and servicing
other Ports to the South?

So these are just a few thought to consider as well as some questions on how some of this new plan
may play out depending upon the particulars of how it is all synchronized and put together for fiiU
operation.

Before I finish I would like to throw out some possible modifications/changes to this new re-deployment
plan to possibly reduce some of the impacts that it may have on other parts of the system, (vessels in the
fleet), and it's communities that are served.

Columbia - No Change, keep this largest vessel in the fleet on the Bellingham run schedule with the
usual Sitka Stop S/B and Friday departures out of Bellingham. Also as the loads have been increasing
out of Bellingham in the Winter months over the past few years I think at times when the run is sold out,
(like when the smaller Malaspina or Matanuska is put on the Bellingham Winter run especially around
Thanksgiving and Christmas), we have been turning away potential traffic/revenue that could have been
accommodated if the Columbia was utilized year round or at least for 9 months of the year. It also has
more comfortable interior accommodations as well as a sit down dining room that the locals enjoy when
they get a chance to travel aboard the Colxnnbia as well as a much better ride during the rough Winter
weather open water transits.

Matanuska - Putthis vessel on the Bellingham run to take the place of the Malaspina's past running
schedule that was established by the Malaspina over the previous 5 years. This is a much needed run to

10/29/2009

PRA GSP01 0009228

Page 4 of 6

continue with as noted above. The Matanuska in the past and present has been deployed on the Prince
Rupert route. The Matanuska has been under utilized on the Prince Rupert run since traffic from that
port has been declining and has been very light over the past 10 years even in the Sununer, Operate the
Matanuska with the Sitka stop on if s N/B voyage opposite of the Columbia's Bellingham schedule
staying with the original Tuesday departures out of Bellingham.

Taku - Keep this vessel on the Prince Rupert run with 3 stops there weekly* This vessel is perfectly
suited to handle the loads and it is a SOLAS vessel so it is not a problem for the YPR run. liiis could be
done by running YPR/KTN/WRG/PSG/JNU and return. This woidd take approximately 28 hrs
including port time and with turn a rounds in JNU and YPR this would equal 56 hrs for a foil round trip
X 3 equals 1 68 hrs which equal 7 days per week times 24 hrs per day. So it could work. The JNU
tum^ound would then allow the Malaspina day boat to take fte Taloi load North to the Lynn Canal
ports. This extra stop each week in YPR would make up for the Matanuska not running there and if
needed the Matanuska could possibly make a stop N/B from Bellingham at YPR to pick up additional
traffic. It does make for a loading headache in Bellingham at tinaes for the YPR stop but tiiis stop on the
Bellingham route has been done before and the Matanuska is SOLAS so it is not a problem to go into
YPR as would have been a problem if the Malaspina was on the Bellingham run.

Kennicott - If the running of tiiis vessel for 2 weeks only and then tie up in KTN for 2 weeks during
the Summer on the cross gulf service is the plan tiien on one of the passes through S.E. Alaska it could
run into YPR to bring additional loads North possibly to PSG where the FWX wovild tiien take them on
to JNU? I thought this vessel had good loads on the past few summer cross gulf runs to justify it's
operation all summer on a full running schedule so it seems a mystery why we are only wanting to run it
half the time under the new operating plan but I guess we all have to make sacrifices some where to try
and save some money within the system! Somehow tyeing up vessels in the busy Summer season just
doesn't seem like the place to make cuts in the budget?

LeConte - Keep this one as a day boat out of the JNU base running to the out ports and villages daily.
Create a consistent and reliable schedule for it's Summer and Winter operation and then leave it's
schedule alone for a few years. It doesn*t have to contend with any tides or currents along it's day boat
route so there is no reason we can't have a steady and consistent schedule for this vessel that the public
can coxmt on and make there travel plans around.

Malaspina - North Lynn Canal route, (day boat?). As noted above in voicing my concerns I don't fully
agree with this vessel being re deployed onto this route in place of the FWX but if it has to happen then
some of my other notes of modifications to the vessels of tiie fleet could possibly mesh together and
there may then be some viability in the operating plan. For maximum convenience to the public it
would be nice to base the Malaspina in Juneau- ABY to allow for morning departures like when the
Malaspina was used on this same route for 2 Summers approximately 5 years ago. I realize there is
limited dock space but with proper scheduling of other vessels in and out of ABY it could be a
possibility. If the vessel was staffed with a limited size, (actual day boat crew), and was only able to
operate 12 hrs per day with a night cleaning and maintenance crew aboard at night like the FWX then
it's route each day would be limited. It would probably have to go ABY/HNS/ABY on one day and then
ABY/SGY/ABY the next day alternating through the week with no inter port service running between
Haines and Skagway? If the vessel is based in HNS as I believe is the plan then runs between HNS and
SGY are possible and the eventually a run would be made fi'om HNS to ABY and return. Of course if it
is run as a day boat with limited crew then options on routing within a 12 hour day become very limited
so the effective use of the vessel verses the costs have to be heavily weighed in these circumstances.
With a fully staffed vessel then it would have the potential to run tiie full Lynn Canal route stopping at
all the ports both North and South and making the run daily all summer, (16-18 hrs required for the full
route @ 16 kts with port time included), as it did approximately 5 years ago before the Fairweather was

10/29/2009

PRA GSP01 0009229

Page 5 of 6

constructed. So the options have to be looked at carefully and once it is established if it works out then
it should be left in place for another consistent route even if ifs only a seasonal boat route at least the
public can make plans around it well in advance.

Fairweather - As noted in my above comments Tm not wild about the planned re deployment of the
Fairweather off the Lynn Canal run and having it's new route as ABY/SIT/ABY x 5 per week plus
ABY/PSG/ABY x 2 per week. But if this is what we have to work with tiien the rest of the fleet
schedules need to be adjusted to drop some of the Sitka runs to have the FWX carry those loads out to
Sitka as a feeder vessel from the AB Y hub to justify all those runs on a route that over past Summers
hasn't generally carried very much traffic while serviced by the FWX. Also meshing a mainliner near or
around one of the weekly runs from ABY to PSG could produce a reasonable direct access route with
that traffic North to ABY and eventually up the Lynn Canal the following day from the day boat
Malaspina? Another option for the PSG route since there is enough time in the schedule would be to
make a stop in KAKE. On one trip we could swing in to Kake South bound on the way to PSG and
then on the next trip make the stop Northbound from PSG to Kake. So there are many options for this
vessel. The same thing could be done eventually at Hoonah with minor dock modifications or if the
dock was set up properly in Angoon with a ramp on a floating stem berth we could provide service there
with the Fairweather. So the speed of these vessels can connect great distances in relatively short time
to allow many options and still keeping within a day boat operation with limited hours of operation and
limited crew size. A very flexible flyer of which it's full potential is still being under utilized.

Lituya - Stay with it's designed KTN/MET/KTN routing with multiple sailings per day especially in
the Summer months. I think the denial of the sale of the Saxman seaport facility property could actually
turn out to be a good thing. If we would have ended up with another small separate terminal to maintain
as well as shifdng terminal staff from the main KTN terminal out to Saxman and back many times per
day seems a bit ridiculous to only service one vessels needs. Once the full Waldon Pt./Annette Bay road
project and dock are in full operation they create such a savings in vessel run time on that route that the
difference of :15-:20 minutes saved by making the stop at Saxman seaport dock as opposed to running to
the main KTN terminal dock doesn't quite seem worth the cost that would have to be invested into more
dock infrastructure to make it all work out.

Tustumena - Even after 40 years this vessel still seems to fit the route for the South West system and
Prince William Sound routes. Eventually a replacement will have to be considered and it's great that we
do have the Kennicott which is an Ocean rated vessel like the Tusty and can also fill in on some of the
routes and access some of the same ports if relief is needed on some of those runs. So no changes here
since the schedules have generally been steady and reliable unlike the weather.

Chenega - This High Speed Craft, (HSC), vessel is working out great in Prince William Sound running
out of the base port of Cordova each day serving the ports of Valdez and Whittier daily but in alternating
directions each day. This service has been well received with good loads for most of tiie Summer. It
operates in a day boat fashion set up like the Fairweather for it's hours of operation and crewing size.
This vessel works out great on the seasonal PWS route and tiien as Winter relief on the S.E. Alaska
routes while the Fairweather is out of service for it's annual shipyard maintenance.

Aurora - This vessel gives added service in Prince William Sound in the Summer months based out of
the Port of Valdez providing a daily connection to Whittier. I believe this schedule has been working
reasonably well alttiough I'm not sure with the Chenega running in the sound also and servicing all the
main ports in PWS daily that this extra service is fiilly justified. The vessel may provide better service
else wear within the system although at this time I'm not sure where that might be! The Aurora does
serve as an excellent Winter vessel for the PWS area, (while the Chenega is in the shipyard or covering
for the Fairweather), since it is a steel vessel and can deal better with the rough weather and the ice

encounters that are experienced along the PWS routes.

So these are some of the possible potential adjustments/changes that I think should be considered if the
new proposed AMHS Operating Plaris are going to be put into action, I feel that some of the ideas may
lessen the impact that may occur if the presently proposed operating plan for 2008/2009 is put in place.

In all reality to really get this operation on track I feel we need to stop chasing all the different needs of
all the different user groups which ends up sending the vessels on constantly changing routes wilii
limited or no consistency from year to year and season to season. Having no reliable consistency is
where I think the heart of a lot of oxir problems stem from. When Alaska Airlines services most towns
in Alaska they have steady year round core schedules that don't change. During the Spring and Fall
shoulder months as service needs increase or decrease additional flights are added or are taken away as
service needs dictate. And in the Summer months they ramp up to full operation to by adding extra
seasonal flights to handle the additional loads. But the base core routes tiiat run in the Fall, Winter,
Spring and Summer never changes those routes are always a constant The only changes occur during
the addition of extra routes that are in addition to the base core schedule routes. And then of course the
same ttdng goes fpr the full ramp up of added aircraft and routes during the peak load requirements of
the Sumimer. This is exactly what the AMHS needs to try and get into place on our schedulmg.
Consistent and reliable service. These schedules should be steady year in and year out with a reliable
and steady core route system of Winter service and then seasonal ramp up/rmnp down on the shoulder
season with full phase in of the fleet during the entire Summer season, (May 1 - September 30). With
this consistent and reliable core scheduling all users have something they can make plans around and we
don't have to keep altering our schedules to chase everyones needs. Then the public and commercial
businesses can make there plans around our consistent and reliable schedules just like they do with the
airlines. With steady and consistent schedules it will be easier to get the sailing schedules printed and
out to the public in a timely manner since there won*t really be many changes from year to year other
than seasonal changes on routes. This would also assist in making planning for shipyard dates well in
advance easier and more cost effective for all involved and effected by these transition periods which at
times can create great disruption within the system which eventually can have an effect on the public
and the crew that staff the vessels. Because just like with the airlines it doesrft matter which model
Boeing 737 we are traveling on for a route between towns it still gets you from A to B. The same
should go for our ferry schedules. We have a versatile fleet with doubles of many of our vessel types
which will usually allow for us to always have a vessel to cover a particular run while the sister ship is
in the shipyard or is in a layup period. So just because the name of the vessel that may cover a particular
route may change the times and days of the week on the routing and schedule shouldn't.

Thank you for hearing me out and hopefully you will consider some of my thoughts and ideas for
creating a viable and workable operating plan that will best serve the needs of the traveling public and
businesses with consistent, reliable and efficient service along the routes and ports served by the Alaska
Marine Highway System.

American dream of homeownership for many. Rounding out the bysy year, the center
hosted a Financial Innovations Lab on Catastrophi c Risk: CAT Bonds and Bevond in New
York, with results and Insights to be available in 2008.

Center for Emerging Domestic Markets

The Center for Emerging Domestic Markets continues to provide top-Hne analysis for
this area, including the release of Emerging Domestic iviarkets: Increasing Capital bv
Imorovina Data which offers policy guidelines for a comprehensive data consortium to
standardize and ultimately increase the access to capital for the economic development
engines available in emerging domestic markets.

Israel Center

The newly launched Israel Center has had a truly remarkable first year. In addition to
the policy papers by Koret Milken Institute Fellows, the center published a report on
Financial Innovations for Economic R ecovery and Development in Northern Israel .
Subsequently, the Koret Foundation's Philanthropic Fund has provided a $1 million grant
to the Milken Institute to develop an infrastructure bond that will aid reconstruction In
the war-damaged region of northern Israel.

Additionally, the Israel Center held a Financial and Policy Medical Innovations Lab in
Israel with leading medical researchers and representatives of the Israeli and U.S. bio-
tech industry. The event was requested by President Shimon Peres' office and funded
with support from the Horowitz Foundation, President Shimon Peres and Milken
Institute Chairman Mike Milken opened the event and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert joined
at the end of the day to listen to the recommendations and answer questions. Several
ideas for increasing access to capita) In this promising sector were proposed during the
lab and we continue to work with the President's staff and our other partners in Israel
on implementation.

Center for Health Economics

Gathering our research efforts and expertise around health economics was long
overdue, and well worth it. In addition to our continuing examination of health-sciences
clusters and our work with various states to develop economic road maps In this
Important Industry, the center released An Unhealthv America: The Economic Burden jof
Chronic Disease . This groundbreaking report provides a first-ever comprehensive look
at the growing impact on the economy of seven chronic diseases, and what we can do
to roll-back the burgeoning costs through prevention and screening. The report was
covered by Bloomberg, CNBC, the New York Times, and many other national and
regional media outlets. The Milken Institute has briefed the National Association of
Governors, as well as leading Industry and business associations on the findings. We
look forward to being a resource in the area of chronic disease economic impact in the
upcoming election year as candidates continue to seek Information for understanding
healthcare Issues

Now in Its second year, the Strategic Action Volunteer Effort has continued to bring
together leaders In Industry, finance, acadernia and policy to help solve some of nation's
most complex issues. The current focus is on energy independence. SAVE visited with

Greenhouse Gases and on the specific ideas compiled during a Rnancial Innovations Lab
on Energy Independence . SAVE also held a Rnancial Innovations Lab with Sandla
National Laboratories to provide a critical loolc at the viability of clean technologies
currently available and under development. The results of this Lab wiii be available In
2008.

SAVE Will continue to be at the forefront of policy and financial marlcet solutions to fight
the negative impacts climate change and maximize the opportunities In new energy
Industries. In our tradition of bringing successful financial technologies to new marlcets,
we are currently working on the development of a regional carbon marlcet in China

I hope you were able to join us for our 10th annual Global Conference . Our best
gathering to date, the event brought together 3,000 participants from 60 nations for
more than 120 sessions. We have already begun lining up the 2008 program and, as
we have decided to limit attendance this year for the comfort of participants^ we
encourage you to register as soon as possible.

And as always, we are pleased that Th^ Milken Institute Review remains an accessible
and sometimes irreverent look at topical issges, off-the*beaten-path analysis and ideas
that you may have overlooked. Some of this year's most popular articles were ""The
Ethanol Boondoggle: who's kidding who?" from the January edition and ""Traffic
Congestion Pricing: what works and what doesnV from the October edition. Be sure to
check online if you missed any issues this year.

While the above examples are only a sampling of this year's accomplishments, I think
you will agree that every year we grow in our ability to provide worid-class analytics
and, more important, the ability to turn ideas into reai-world solutions. We thank you
for your continuing interest and support in the work that we do.

As a publicly supported, non-profit organization, our work is made possible by people
like you. We invite you to join our efforts to build new industries, generate jobs,
improve capital markets and create opportunities for people worldwide by supporting

I have attached a copy of my first run at the State of the State, i wanted to get you something for the
2008 speech before the end of 2007. Anyway, let me know if you think it is on the right track.

i thought I would take a break from it today and read it over fresh tomorrow. On Wednesday, I thought I
would have a small group made up of special assistants and Lanry Persily help me fact check and test
sensitivity and direction. There are some items in the draft that have not been made public yet. Two
examples are Habitat and Health Care refomi measures so I will be careful not to send it out

Last year\u700 ?s speech was 4300 words and seemed a bit long. I tried to keep it shorter this time.
This draft is now 3800 words, hopefully close to the 35 minute target I was shooting for,

Happy New Year!

Subject: Pinal information re: Cook Inlet LNG Agreement • Press Conference

Governor, All,

Attached are the ^final" documents for use at tomorrows Cook Inlet LNG Agreement' Press
Conference:

1) Governor's suggested '^Opening Statement." Note that I've also included information on
the Opening Statements from:

a. Jim Bowles, President, ConocoPhillips, Alaska;

company;

Enstar) .

b. Steve Hinchman, Senior Vice President Worldwide Production, Marathon Oil

c. Gene Dubay, Senior Vice President of Operations, Semco (parent company of

Please note that these gentlemen have crafted their statements assuming the Governor will
begin the Press Conference with her Opening Statement going FIRST.

2} Cook Inlet LNG Agreement "'Executive Summary" - a one-page overview of the Agreement

PRA GSP01 0009240

3) Cook Inlet LNG Agreement ^'Questions & Answers" - divided into those questions expected
to- be posed to the state and those questions expected to be posed to the two companies .

4) Line-up of Press Conference attendees from CP, MO, Enstar & the state. On this
document I've identified titles and noted those individuals who served on the Agreement'
negotiating team.

Additional pertinent information:

* The expectation is the event will unfold as follows:

* Opening Statement from Governor Palin, followed by;

* Opening Statements from:

* Jim Bowles, ConocoPhillips, Alaska

* Steve Hinchman, Marathon Oil Company

* Gene Diibay, Enstar

* Then it will be turned-over to Questions & Answers. I am told that Jim Bowles (CP) &
Steve Hinchman (MO) will attempt to personally handle all questions that are pertinent for
the two companies to answer. Only if they feel they cannot properly address the questions
will they turn the question over to their supporting staff.

* I will have 50 copies of the Agreement & the Agreement' Executive Summary available for
hand-out at the press conference. Additionally, by 12:15pm we will have both of these
documents posted on the following website, which we can refer people to if they are not
physically at the Press Conference:

* www.dog.dnr. state. ak. us/oil/

* We will NOT make the "Questions & Answers" document available to the public, as this was
developed for internal use only.

PRA GSP01 0009241

* The Cook Inlet LNG Agreement has been filed with the Dept of Energy (DOE) londer a
supplement Pleading, The State "filed" (mailed) this document on January 2nd, DOE should
receive this filing by January 4th , at the latest. The State and the two companies will
also be calling DOE to notify them it is enroute tomorrow. The document filed with the
DOE is referred to as the "State's Supplemental Comments and Settlement Agreement,"

* I have provided this information to John Katz and asked him to give our Congressional
Delegation a heads-up that we have reached this agreement, and have simultaneously filed
this Pleading with the Dept of Energy (DOE), before our teleconference tomorrow. I am
told that the companies intend to provide this same update to our Congressional Delegation
tomorrow morning.

* I have asked the Press Conference attendees to meet in the Governor's Anchorage Office
at 11; 45am. Several of the company representatives have not met the Governor and would
like the opportunity to meet her before the Press Conference. Plus, the group includes
multiple "CEO types." Therefore it might be useful to move the group into the Governor's
Office just before the press conference in order for her to meet everyone and then we
could all proceed into the conference room through the Governor's entrance. And, I do
apologize that there will be such a MOB, but they all wanted to attend!

* Please note that Attorney General Talis Colberg, and AAG Steve DeVries will also attend
the press conference. Neither Attorney General Colberg nor Steve DeVries were identified
on my previous list.

* The Governor should expect to be aaked about the CP' Gas Pipeline ^proposal", that came
to the state outside the AGIA' process. Jim Bowles and I spoke today in order to get
clarity on what the Governor and he might say in response to an enquiry on this subject.
I told him that I would suggest to the Governor that she reiterate what she has already
said, as follows;

**We are focused on our AGIA' process and we will be looking at Cor reviewing) the CP'
proposal when time allows."

Jim indicated that he would say something supportive of that statement, such as:

3

PRA GSP01 0009242

« We recognize that the state must focus on the AGIA' process, but we are assured they will
review our proposal in due course." He may go on to say something like the following:

«The Cook Inlet LNG Agreement represents an excellent model and we believe that it could
be used on the ANS gas pipeline project as well."

I think this covers everything. Please call me at #317-4728 if you need something
further. I do apologize that this event has so many moving parts and requires such formal
structure! Thanks very much for your support Governor! Reaching this Agreement is
completely due to your willingness for us to work on the issues.

Marty

Subject; Kuparuk spill

I just received notice that there was a spill reported at 3:00 PM today at Kuparuk. The
100 gallon of crude originally estimated vfas increased to 4,284 gallon (102 barrels) . The
cause appears to be external corrosion related. Cleanup is being hampered by 30 MPH
winds and the spill area is covered with approx. 6 inches of snow. More detail is listed
below but I will pass along additional information once I get it.

Mike

INCIPENT NAME: Kuparuk 2U Pad Crude Oil Spill SITREP #: 7

SPILL NUMBER: 07399935001 LEDGER CODE: 14247160

TIME/DATE OP SPILL: ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc. (CPAI) discovered the spill at 1:33 A|^4 on
December 16, 2007 and reported the spill to ADEC via the Alaska State Troopers at 2:43 AM

TIME/DATE OF SITUATION REPORT: 3:00 PM, January 2, 2008

TIME/DATE OF THE NEXT REPORT: When final spill volume is determined

TYPE/AMOUNT OF PRODUCT SPILLED: CPAI initially reported that over 100 gallons of crude
oil, gas and fluids spilled from a 24-inch flow line located within the Kuparuk River
field between the 2V and 2W pads. The initial estimate of over 100 gallons was increased
to 4,284 gallons (102 barrels) after further assessment of the spill area. The spill area
is tundra covered with approximately six inches of snow.

LOCATION: Kuparuk River Field, flow line between 2U Pad and CPF-2. Latitude: N 70o 19'
19.99"

Longitude: W149« 55' 41.52".

CAUSE OF SPILL: CPAI reported external corrosion to the flow line. After the insulation
from the flow line was removed, responders observed a 6-inch long crack (about 1/8 inch
wide at the center) in the flow line. Investigators believe the cause was from external
corrosion due to water trapped between the pipe and the insulation surrounding the flow
line. Detailed investigation into the cause will be conducted.

PRA GSP01 0009251

POTENTIAL RESPONSIBLE PARTY (PRP) : ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc. (CPAI)

RESPONSE ACTION; Weather is delaying cleanup operations today due to cold and 30 MPH
winds.

Thirty-foxu: cleanup responders, split between two i2-hour shifts , supported by 20
Incident Command Team members are responding to the spill. On December 28th 2007,
responders completed clean-up of wind-blown oil spray from the surrounding tundra and
nearby frozen lake. The area has been sampled and the results are pending. Clean-up of the
more heavily contaminated area near the point of release is continuing as weather allows.
The majority of oil has been recovered. Responders are currently perforTiiing final cleanup
with hand tools to remove a thin layer of oil that remains in this area. Contaminated snow
is being p3focessed in snow melters to separate waste types and determine oil volumes.

Two ADEC spill responders are onsite monitoring the response and cleanup,

SOURCE CONTROL: The source was controlled when operators shut down the oil wells feeding
the flow lines.

oil, gas and fluids spilled from a 24 -inch flow line located within the Kuparuk River
field between the 2V and 2W pads. The initial estimate of over 100 gallons was increased
to 4,284 gallons (102 barrels) after further assessment of the spill area. The spill area
is tundra covered with approximately six inches of snow.

LOCATION: Kuparuk River Field, flow line between 2U Pad and CPF-2. Latitude: N 70» 19'
19.99"

Longitude: W149«> 5S' 41.52".

CAUSE OF SPILL; CPAI reported external corrosion to the flow line. After the insulation
from the flow line was removed, responders observed a 6-inch long crack (about 1/8 inch

2

PRA GSP01 0009254

wide at the center) in the flow line. Investigators believe the cause was from external
corrosion due to water trapped between the pipe and the insulation surrounding the flow
line. Detailed investigation into the cause will be conducted.

POTENTIAL RESPONSIBXiE PAETY (PRP) : ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc. (CPAI)

RESPONSE ACTION: Weather is delaying cleanup operations today due to cold and 30 MPH
winds .

Thirty- four cleanup responders, split between two 12 -hour shifts, supported by 20 Incident
Command Team members are responding to the spill. On December 28th 2007, responders
completed clean-up of wind-blown oil spray from the surrounding tundra and nearby frozen
lake. The area has been sampled and the results are pending. Clean-up of the more heavily
contaminated area near the point of release is continuing as weather allows. The majority
of oil has been recovered. Responders are currently performing final cleanup with hand
tools to remove a thin layer of oil that remains in this area. Contaminated snow is being
processed in snow melters to separate waste types and determine oil volumes.

Two ADEC spill responders are onsite monitoring the response and cleanup.

SOURCE CONTROL: The source was controlled when operators shut down the oil wells feeding
the flow lines.

Dear Marty,

Please see atteiched for press release regarding important legislation, the Sudan Accountability and
Divestment Act, signed into law on Monday by President Bush. The blil would prohibit federal government
contracts with certain companies, Including Sinopec, enabling genocide in Darfur. We ask that the
Governor immediately reject Sinopec's bid due to concerns about Its Sudan operations.

Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Marty,

Thank you for your correspondence last week. We will certainly provide feedback during the public
comment period. However, given the nature of the situation in Darfur, we would encourage the Governor
to consider imn^ediate rejection of the Sinopec bid.

In a recent interview, Speaker Ham's indicated that the Governor has the prerogative to eliminate a
proposal on any basis she sees fit. A recent Channel 2 (KTUU) poll found that 80% of Alaskans believe
that the state should reject a gas pipeline bid from a company with known ties to the Darfur genodde.

Finally, 1 wanted to let you know that last night the US Senate passed the Sudan Accountability and
Divestment Act, with the support of Senators Stevens and Murkowski. This legislation, which passed the
House of Representatives eariier this year, would prohibit certain companies operating in Sudan,
including Sinopec, from receiving federal contracts.

Again we are happy to provide further information regarding Sinopec, its operations in Sudan, or the
Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act

Sincerely,

Sam

Thank you for your comments. Within the next few weeks the state will complete its review of the Alaska Gasline

Proposals (RFA.) Once that review is complete we will place all applications on the web and make them available
for public review. All applications that are deemed responsive to the law and RFA will also be available for public
comment. While we appreciate receiving your input today, I want to ensure that you know that the best time to

Subject: Open tetter Regarding Sinopec Bid

Dear Mr. Rutherford,

My name is Sam Bell, advocacy director for the Genocide Intervention Network. Please find the attached open

letter sent today from our executive director, Mark Hanis, to Governor Palin.

We are concerned about the bid firom Sinopec and the company's connection to ttte Darfur conflict in Sudan,

which has been labeled genocide by the President and Congress. Sinopec is the largest oil field services provider

in Sudan and the Sudanese government relies on foreign investment, particular in the oil sector, to ftind its military

and the conflict in Darfur.

Our organization orchestrates the Sudan divestment campaign which now encompasses 22 states, 58

universities, and 10 cities (we are working with Alaskan legislators to introduce Sudan divestment legislation in the

state next year). Additionally, the US Senate Banking Committee and the House of Representatives have passed

the Sudan Accountability and Divestnr>ent Act which would prohibit certain companies operating in Sudan,

including Sinopec, from receiving federal government contracts.

Sincerely,
Sam Bell

Dear Governor Palin

As a registered Reptiblican from Massachusetts (one of about five!) I was most interested
to read about your courage & sense of honor. Truly refreshing \

My only concern is that you might leave your current post too soon for higher office, i.e.
to be someone's running mate. I fear if you do, you won't have consolidated the wonderful
reforms you've begun in your state, and won't have enough of a body of work to give you
the gravitas you need down the road.

Please "stay the course," continue to build your outstanding record, & know that they will
come for you in time.

Good, good luck to you '

I have attached a copy of my first run at the State of the State. I wanted to get you
something for the 2008 speech before the end of 2007. Anyway, let me know if you think it
is on the right track.

I thought I would take a break from it today and read it over fresh tomorrow. On
Wednesday, I thought I would have a small group made up of special assistants and Larry
Persily help me fact check and test sensitivity and direction. There are some items in
the draft that have not been made public yet. Two examples are Habitat and Health Care
reform measures so I will be careful not to send it out.

Last year's speech was 4300 words and seemed a bit long. I tried to keep it shorter this
time. This draft is now 3800 words, hopefully close to the 35 minute target I was
shooting for.

Happy New Year!

MESSAGE :

Pear Gov. Palin, it is hard to express my disappointment in a newpaper AP article on
Sunday, December 30, where Fish and Game Brown Shirts were boasting how easy it was to
catch active military personal violating the one year residency requirement. Having
served this state as the Director of Air and Water for Environmental Conservation, I know
selective enforcement when I see it. A neutral enforcement scheme is always preferred to
selective enforcement, selective enforcement makes one cringe. On top of that, to single
out GI's, many of whom are on food stamps, and slam them with a fine is hard for me to
digest, let alone brag about in the newspaper. I know the law is the law and I am
suggesting you change it. Give these kids who are getting their butts shot off for this
country a little break. They are only in this state for a few years, you would think the
state could afford to give them resident license so they can put food on their table. I
know when I was in the military, ye

s a Vietnam vet, I felt that I should be able to buy a resident license whereever I was
stationed and did. Wow, i probably broke the law making $212/month and feeding two kids
on a lieutenants pay. My rent was $125/month, doesn't leave a lot... we ate a lot of
rabbits. I have been there and know what it is like. Cut these kids a break and
introduce a bill to treat the visiting military like human beings and let them buy a
resident license. It should not be that difficult to get a bill thru given the war and
all. Make it during the wartime only, but do something that comes from the heart. God
knows this state does not need these kids money. And Fish and Game should be appalled at
not only engaging in selective enforcement but also their target. Leonard Verrelli Juneau

Would you consider sponsoring legislation that would provide debt forgiveness for state
college loans for military personnel who have served in the front lines in Iraq? Our son
has served 2 tours in Iraq. He carries a substantial state college loan debt.

do NOT recommend you bother reading this document, but in case you wanted to review it, i thought it

best to send it to you as v^eil. My previous e-mail, sent around 8:30pm tonight, included the Agreement'

Executive Summary, which is a much more useful document to read. Please note that I have 50 copies

of the final, executed Agreement, and associated Executive Summary, for the Press Conference. I do not

Subject: Kuparuk Spill

I just received notice Aat there was a spill reported at 3 :00 PM today at Kuparuk. The 1 00 gallon of crude originally
estimated was increased to 4,284 gallon (102 barrels). The cause appears to be external corrosion related. Cleanup is being
hampered by 30 MPH winds and tfie spill area is covered witti approx, 6 inches of snow. More detail is listed below but I
will pass along additional information once I get it.

Mike

INCIDENT NAME : Kiq>aruk 2U Pad Crude Oil Spill SITREP # : 7

SPILL NUMBER : 07399935001 LEDGER CODE : 14247160

TIME/DATE OF SPILL : ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc. (CPAI) discovered the spill at 1:33 AM on December 16, 2007 and

reported the spiU to ADEC via Uie Alaska State Troopers at 2;43 AM.

TIME/DATE OF SITUATION REPORT: 3 :00 PM. January 2, 200R

TIME/DATE OF THE NEXT REPORT : When final spiU volume is detennined

TYPE/AMOUNT OF PRODUCT SPILLED : CPAI initially reported that over 100 gallons of crude oil, gas and fluids

spilled from a 24-inch flow line located within the Kuparuk River field between the 2V and 2W pads. The initial estimate of

over 100 gallons was increased to 4^84 gallons (102 barrels) after further assessment of the spill area. The spill area is

tundra covered with approximately six inches of snow.

LOCATION : Kuparuk Rivea: Field, flow line between 2U Pad and CPF-2. Latitude: N 70* 19 19.99"

Longitude: W149'' 55' 41.52".

CAUSE OF SPILL : CPAI reported external corrosion to the flow line. After the insulation from the flow line was removed,

responders observed a 6-inch long crack (about 1/8 inch wide at the center) in the flow line. Investigators believe the cause

was from external corrosion due to wat«* tr^ped between the pq>e and the insulation surrounding the flow line. I>etaUed

investigation into the cause will be conducted.

POTENTIAL RESPONSIBLE PARTY (PRPV ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc. (CPAI)

RESPONSE ACTION : Weather is delaying cleanup operations today due to cold and 30 MPH winds.

Thirty-four cleanup responders, split between two 12-hour sMfts, supported by 20 fiicident Command Team members are

responding to the spill. On December 28&2007, responders completed clean-up of wind-blown oil spray from the

surrounding tundra and nearby frozen lake. The area has been sampled and the resiilts are pending. Clean-up of the more

heavily contaminated area near the point of release is continuing as weather allows. The majority of oil has beaa recovered.

Responders are currently performing final cleanup with hand tools to remove a thin layer of oil that remains in this area.

Contaminated snow is being processed in snow melters to separate waste types and determine oil volumes.

Two ADEC spill responders are onsite monitoring the response and cleanup.

SOURCE CONTROL : The source was controlled when operators shut down the oil wells feeding the flow lines.

Sorry to bother you with this issue, but there Is a constituent by the name of Ed Musial who lives in Sutton. Mr.
Musial believes that the State DOT 6)6 some work in the mid-1980*s that caused erosion problems on his property
with a river. I researched the issue with DOT and LAW and found responsibility for any damages caused by the
project were assumed by the Mat-Su Borough under a contract with DOT. Mr. Musial has been advised that the
State is not responsible and to try and worl< out the issue with the Mat-Su Borough. He says this is not good
enough and until he hears the Governor personally does not feel he is entitled to any compensation from DOT, he
will not give up the issue.

I just received a message from John Bitney that Mr. Musial called the Speaicers office wanting your address in
Wasilla so he can hand deliver papers outlining his claim to you. To my Icnowledge, that information was not
provided. I will confinn with John.

I do not believe this is a serious security issue, but wanted you to be aware of it. 1 can certainly call Mr. Musial
and let him know the Governor agrees witii DOT and the Department of Law's position that the state does not
owe him any money and see if that resolves everything.

Dear Governor Palin,

Thank-you for having Colleen invite me to the Alaska Statehood event at the museum. It is moments like that
that make me want to pinch myself, it Is such a kick to meet those folks. Katie Hurley always gives me the
biggest hugs. I met Jack Roderick and had a great talk with him about a book he had written that I had read -
neat) It was also nice to see my old friends at the Humanities Forum and from the State Fair By the way, I don't
want to overplay this request but the Arts and Humanities people really would love it if you came to their Governor
Award dinner next year, they really missed you in Fairbanks.

I think the LNG press event went very well. The focus I had feared - linkage between future Enstar pricing
and export pricing - did not materialize.

Thanks again.

MESSAGE:

Dear Govenor Palin,

You have asked for suggestions for spending surplus monies. I hope that some of this money
could be applied to increase staffing for Fish & Game. In the last two years, I have
witnessed illegal snagging of salmon on Willow creek with help too far away to respond in
time to be effective with catching the people that are guilty of this. I also became aware
of a young black bear being shot (in my neighborhood/subdivision) because it was attracted
to garbage in an open trailer. This event was reported with no response. Shooting a cow
Moose with calves in a subdivision was also reported with no active response. It is very
sad to see precious wildlife unprotected & to see our parks,- State or otherwise, poorly
suppervised & abused. It would be my hope that some of this money could find it's way to
increasing trained Fish & Game Officials to enforce the rules that protect State Parks &
wildlife. Thank you for your time & consideration.

Sincerely,

Patricia Eckhoff

Subject: Sen. French

Dear Governor Palin,

Two evente related to law enforcenient are likely to draw some attention in the next three weeks:

1 . Sen. French had attempted to set up a "crime summit" last summer. He originally set it for the first week of
November and then found out that it conflicted with his own obligations on the VPSO (Village Public Safety
Officer) Task force. His initial announcements included a letter to you asking that you direct your commissioners
to participate.

He has now re-characterized the event as the "Senate Judiciary Committee's Crime Summit" and scheduled
it for the beginning of the session on January 16 and 17. He has lined up two days of testinrK>ny to "explore
leading criminal justice issues". Comm. Monegan is set to testify on January 16. Comm. Schmidt will testify on
Jan. 17. Anchorage DA Adrienne Bachmanfrom my office will tesi^fy on January 16. You may already know
at>out all of this, I will provide Mr. Tibbies with a copy of the full agenda this morning. I suppose Sen. French has
a planned outcome as he has been planning this for about eight months.

2. In the meantime, the VPSO task force which includes French, Monegan, myself and others will have

what may be a final meeting on Jan. 18. A meeting that has now been postponed twice due to
schedule conflicts. I would expect that the end recommendation of the task force will be a request for
a substantial funding Increase from the state to increase VPSO pay, provide housing assistance and
improve benefits.

This is just to give you and Mr. Tibbies a heads up that Sen. French will likely have a lot to say soon about

public safety on a statewide basis.

this isn^t a good cut.

Subject: Final information re; Cook Inlet LNG Agreement' Press Conference

Governor, All,

Attached are the *final" documents for use at tomorrows Cook Inlet LNG Agreement' Press
Conference:

1) Governor's suggested "Opening Statement." Note that I've also included infointiation
on the Opening Statements from:

a. Jim Bowles, President, Conoco Phi Hips, Alaska;

b. Steve Hinchman, Senior Vice President Worldwide Production, Marathon Oil
company;

c. Gene Dubay, Senior Vice President of Operations, Seraco (parent company of
Enstar) .

Please note that these gentlemen have crafted their statements assuming the Governor will
begin the Press Conference with her Opening Statement going FIRST.

2) Cook Inlet LNG Agreement ^Executive Summary" - a one-page overview of the Agreement.

3) Cook Inlet IjNG Agreement ^'Questions & Answers'' - divided into those questions
expected to be posed to the state and those questions expected to be posed to the two
companies .

4) Line-up of Press Conference attendees from CP, MO, Enstar & the state. On this

PRA GSP01 0009293

document I've identified titles and noted those individuals who served on the Agreement'
negotiating team.

Additional pertinent information;

The expectation is the event will tinfold as follows:

Opening Statement from Governor Palin, followed by;
Opening Statements from;

Jim Bowles, ConocoPhillips, Alaska
Steve Hinchman, Marathon Oil Company
Gene Dxibay, Enstar

* Then it will be turned-over to Questions & Answers. I am told
that Jim Bowles (CP) & Steve Hinchman (MO) will attempt to personally handle all questions
that are pertinent for the two companies to answer. Only if they feel they cannot
properly address the questions will they turn the question over to their supporting staff.

* I will have 50 copies of the Agreement & the Agreement' Executive Summary
available for hand-out at the press conference. Additionally, by 12:15pm we will have
both of these documents posted on the following website, which we can refer people to if
they are not physically at the Press Conference:

www . dog . dnr . state . ak . us/oil/

* We will NOT make the "Questions & Answers" document available to the public, as
this was developed for internal use only.

The Cook Inlet LNG Agreement has been filed with the Dept of Energy (DOS) under a

3

PRA GSP01 0009294

supplement Pleading. The State ''filed" (mailed) this document on January 2nd. DOE should
receive this filing by January 4th , at the latest. The State and the two companies will
also be calling DOK to notify them it is enroute tomorrow. The document filed with the
DOE is referred to as the "State's Supplemental Comments and Settlement Agreement."

* I have provided this information to John Katz and asked him to give our
Congressional Delegation a heads-up that we have reached this agreement, and have
simultaneously filed this Pleading with the Dept of Energy (DOE) , before our
teleconference tomorrow. I am tpld that the companies intend to provide this same update
to our Congressional Delegation tomorrow morning.

* I have asked the Press Conference attendees to meet in the Governor's Anchorage
Office at 11:45am. Several of the company representatives have not met the Governor and
would like the opportunity to meet her before the Press Conference. Plus, the group
includes multiple "CEO types." Therefore it might be useful to movje the group into the
Governor's Office just before the press conference in order for her to meet everyone and
then we could all proceed into the conference room through the Governor's entrance. And,
I do apologize that there will be such a MOB, but they all wanted to attendi

* Please note that Attorney General Talis Colberg, and AAG Steve DeVries will also
attend the press conference. Neither Attorney General Colberg nor Steve DeVries were
identified on my previous list.

* The Governor should expect to be asked about the CP' Gas Pipeline ''proposal",
that came to the state outside the AGIA' process. Jim Bowles and I spoke today in order
to get clarity on what the Governor and he might say in response to an enquiry on this
subject, I told him that i would suggest to the Governor that she reiterate what she has
already said, as follows:

"We are focused on our AGIA' process and we will be looking at (or reviewing) the CP'
proposal when time allows."

Jim indicated that he would say something supportive of that statement, such as:

^'We recognize that the state must focus on the AGIA' process, but we are assured they
will review our proposal in due course." He may go on to say something like the
following:

PRA GSP01 0009295

«The Cook Inlet LNG Agreement represents an excellent model and we believe that it could
be used on the ANS gas pipeline project as well."

I think this covers everything. Please call me at #317-4728 if you need something
further. I do apologize that this event has so many moving parts and requires such formal
structure! Thanks very much for your support Governor 1 Reaching this Agreement is
completely due to your willingness for us to work on the issues.

Subject: AGIA Press Conf Itinerary

Evening Governor,

Tomorrow is going to be great. Here's the plan:

1. 9:00 - 9:30. Tom, Pat, Marty and John Katz will convene a
teleconference with staffers from the Congressional delegation (John
confirms that none of the principals are available, hence them doing it
instead of you) . Drue will also be on the call.

2. 9:30. Tony Palmer is in Calgary expecting a call from you to

PRA GSP01 0009300

announce the good news. Please go to Tom's office on the 14th floor to
place the call. Tom, Pat, and Marty will be with you. Obviously feel
free to draw from the attached opening remarks if you wish, or more
likely, shoot from the hip. You can't go wrong'

3. 9:45- 10:45 (ish) . You make courtesy calls to key Legislators. Joe
is still compiling that list, but his method is to ask the leadership
from majority and minority houses who "else" should be called; places
the burden on those folks to do the line drawing. Joe will weigh in
when he has further guidance.

4, 10:00: Tom, Pat, and Marty will be making the calls to the remaining
four applicants. With the press conference to commence at 11:00 we
wanted to extend the courtesy, but did not want there to be too much of
a gap between the calls and the conference, in case some applicant
decided to immediately begin complaining to media (unlikely, but
possible) . An hour seemed to be a reasonable compromise there. We may
diplomatically request that the applicants refrain from doing so, at
least \xntil you have completed your press conference.

5. 11:00. Press conference.

Sharon will run the show. As you do not like to go out there "cold,"
Sharon will kick off with brief introductory remarks about the
procedure, the topic to be discussed, and the order of speakers.

Then you deliver your remarks (draft remarks attached) .

Privileged or Personal Material Redacted

Privileged or Persoh

PRA GSP01 0009301

Privileged or Personal Material Redacted

You will introduce Marty, whose primary job will be to introduce the
gasline team.

Marty will turn it over to Tom, who will draw from key AGIA
requirements, and tie those to Transcanada ' s application as having
fulfilled them, and how/why that is so important to Alaskans, and
Americans. He will talk about 187 legal requirements (20 statutory and
167 RFA requirements), and how TC met every single one, and why this is
such a positive place for Alaskans to be right now.

Tom will turn it to Pat, who will talk about what is next procedurally.
Many folks' natural first reaction of may be, "You only have one? Then
that means we can get right to the Legislature, right?" Pat will answer
in more detail {than what you had had covered), that this is not the
case, that due diligence requires a process, not the least of which is a
60 -day public comment process.

Then, Q&A. Attached is a list of expected Q*s, with recommended A's
(this is not for public distribution) , The answers are concise, and you
obviously can review them to decide which you'd like to hit versus which
to turn over to Marty (Marty will be "lead" in answering questions, but
Pat or Tom will step in when the spirit moves) .

I will bring copies of the public notice {announcing the comment period
procedures), which staff can distribute with the press release. This
public notice will be posted in the papers, and is being mailed to
approximately 2500 locations around the state, every post office,
library, tribal council, etc. It is attached FYI; you'll note that it
is not a "routine" stark notice, but rather has a large, florid (Alaska
blue-n-gold colored') text window in the center, signed by Tom and Pat,

PRA GSP01 0009302

which gives it a very colloquial and personal flavor

Then, high fives all around!

Donuts? I'll have to think on that one. . .yesterday I was in the Atwood elevator and a
woman gets in the elevator with me (with two other passengers). She looks at me twice,
hesitates, then says, "You're the lieutenant governor, aren't you?" X said, "Yes, I'm
Sean," She said, "You* re much nicer looking in person than on tv." To which I kind of
blushed and said, "Thank you." Then, she said, "You look much. .. (long pause then a

Evening Governor,

Tomorrow is going to be great. Kerens the plan:

1. 9:00 - 9:30. Tom, Pat, Marty and John Katz will convene a
teleconference with staffers from the Congressional delegation (John
confirms that none of the principals are available, hence them doing it
instead of you). Drue will also be on the call.

2. 9:30. Tony Palmer is in Calgary expecting a call from you to

announce the good news. Please go to Tom's office on the 14th floor to

place the call. Tom, Pat, and Marty will be with you. Obviously feel

free to draw from the attached opening remarks if you wish, or more

1

PRA GSP01 0009317

likely, shoot from the hip. You can*t go wrong!

3. 9:45- 10:45 (ish) , You make courtesy calls to key Legislators. Joe
is still compiling that list, but his method is to ask the leadership
from majority and minority houses who "else" should be called; places
the burden on those folks to do the line drawing. Joe will weigh in
when he has further guidance.

4. 10:00: Tom, Pat, and Marty will be making the calls to the remaining
four applicants. With the press conference to commence at 11:00 we
wanted to extend the courtesy, but did not want there to be too much of
a gap between the calls and the conference, in case some applicant
decided to immediately begin complaining to media (unlikely, but

poss

ible) . An hour seemed to be a reasonable compromise there. We may

diplomatically request that the applicants refrain from doing so, at
least until you have completed your press conference.

5. 11:00. Press conference.

Sharon will run the show. As you do not like to go out there *'cold, "
Sharon will kick off with brief introductory remarks about the
procedure, the topic to be discussed, and the order of speakers.

Then you deliver your remarks (draft remarks attached) .

Privileged or Personal

Privileged or Personal Wlaterial Redacted

PRA GSP01 0009318

You will introduce Marty, whose primary job will be to introduce the
gasline team.

Marty will turn it over to Tom, who will draw from key AGIA
requirements, and tie those to Transcanada ' s application as having
fulfilled them, and how/why that is so important to Alaskans, and
Americans. He will talk about 187 legal requirements (20 statutory and
167 RFA requirements) , and how TC met every single one, and why this is
such a positive place for Alaskans to be right now.

Tom will turn it to Pat, who will talk about what is next procedurally.
Many folks* natural first reaction of may be, "You only have one? Then
that means we can get right to the Legislature, right?" Pat will answer
in more detail (than what you had had covered) , that this is not the
case, that due diligence requires a process, not the least of which is a
60-day public comment process.

Then, Q&A. Attached is a list of expected Q»s, with recommended A's
(this is not for public distribution). The answers are concise, and you
obviously can review them to decide which you'd like to hit versus which
to turn over to Marty (Marty will be "lead" in answering questions, but
Pat or Tom will step in when the spirit moves) .

I will bring copies of the public notice (announcing the comment period
procedures), which staff can distribute with the press release. This
public notice will be posted in the papers, and is being mailed to
approximately 2500 locations around the state, every post office,
library, tribal council, etc. It is attached FYI; you'll note that it
is not a "routine" stark notice, but rather has a large, florid (Alaska
blue-n-gold coloredJ) text window in the center, signed by Tom and Pat,
which gives it a very colloquial and personal flavor.

Then, high fives all aroundl

Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Only red flag is my calling legislators in short amount of time - they are notorious for
cornering me on phone or in person to talk all over the globe about their issues, what
we're doing "wrong", etc. I just don't want certain ones to go on and on about other
issues while they have me on the phone.

The rest of this sounds great. Thanks!

I think we should sit down internally to discuss. Although pride of authorship isn't a

something that originated with Governor Palin and that DOF has already been working on.

On August 15th (during our 48 day tour of the Nojrthern Territories and Alaska) we visited
your capitol. It was our 28th anniversary and a highpoint of our vacation. We make a
habit of visiting capitols during our travels across the U.S. Your's is one of the most
difficult to reach. However, I just wanted to Ifet you know how thrilled we were with the
docent that gave us a tour. She told us her Mom worked for the State but I didn't get her
name. We also were treated very kindly by the gfentleman at the front security desk. He
was really great to talk with. The building and furnishings were immaculate and I know
how difficult this is to accomplish. I worked fpr the State of Michigan, Department of
Miltiary and Veterans Affairs for 30 years and really appreicate having a chance to visit
these historical buildings. Thank you so much fbr allowing us to share the beauty of your
building and it's corridors. We were most impressed and wish we could have expressed our
appreciation at j

the time. We wish you and your State a very hap^y New Year in 2008. God bless you and

Dear Mr. Richards:

Today, January 3, 2008, on the State of Alaska "Online Public Notice" DOT posted
notice of a Public Meeting Work Shop at the WiWow Community Center scheduled for
January 8, 2008 ".

How can DOT host a public work shop without using the legal time frame as required by
Alaska State Statutes, Five (5) days is not enough notice for a public meeting of this
sort. Please have DOT reschedule the meeting with the proper 30-day notice
requirement Many of us would like to make plans to attend as we are very interested in
any changes DOT plans for our Willow Lake.

I have not received a notice from DOT about ttiis meeting. However, I understand Ron
Stroman is in the process of mailing all interested parties a notice. Tasked him today in
an email for a copy of the notice along with the Draft Willow Lake Plan.

Mr. Richards, this meeting that could change the use of Willow Lake is very important
and should require the proper notice.

Thank-you,

Linda Holzman

Planning for the New Year— Do It Right This Time

What's business planning for you? Focusing on goals, perhaps? Managing
change? Seeding accountability in the organization? Driving growth? Or is it a
document people say you should prepare, a task like a term paper that will
end up in a drawer? Here's a good idea: for 2008, do planning right.

Julie Dodds of the Anchorage Convention and Visitors Bureau has been « in touch with the
National Governor's Association to discuss the possibilit= y of holding NGA's 2010 summer
meeting in Alaska. In turn, NGA has = contacted me since they work with governors, not
third parties.

Julie told NGA that she has been in communication with you. = I want to make sure,
however, that Julie's efforts are sanctioned and = approved by the governor and you.

Holding an NGA meeting in Alaska would have certain obvious benefits, = but it would also
involve a tremendous amount of work. Later today, - I will forward an application packet
which describes NGA's expectation^ s. I have been told that we would need to raise
between a million = and 2.8 million dollars depending on the scope of activities, identify
100 =s to 150 volunteers, be responsible for security and logistics, etc. = Also, we would
probably be in competition with other interested ?= states .

None of this is said to discourage our possible application. » However, before this gets
to far down the road, I just want to make sure = that Julie's hopes are consistent with
ours.

Hi Ron,

Please tell me what authority you are using to waive ^e 30 day notice period as required per AS
44.62.190? A PUBLIC WORK SHOP, ("TO HELP WRITE A WILLOW LAKE USE PLAN THAT WHEN
IMPLEMENTED WILL ALLOW SAFE USE OF THE LAKE"), is a very IMPORTANT MEETING, AS IT
IMPLIES THAT THE USES OF THE LAKE WILL CHANGE.

We the public NEED NOTICE, so that we can plan our time to participate in these meetings, I think that is

why we have AS 44.62,190, so that the BEST INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC CAN BE SERVED.

Again, I ask you what date did you post the notice of the meeting in the Daily News?

I know you posted the notice on the State of Alaska's "On Line Public Notice" on January 3, 2008. That

gives us 5 days notice which is not sufficent notice time.

I still have not received the notice or the draft plan, that you mailed, what date were they mailed? No one

I know has received your notice.

After 40 years of DOT'S NON-MANGEMENT of the lake why are you pushing this so fest Our last
meeting was on October 10,2007. You had plenty of time to plan the next meeting with a full 30-day legal

notice period. Huggins and Neumans office just stated that tliey would be sending their representives to the
meeting as they are both in Juneau.

As a property owner, I can not heip but feel that DOT is trying to push off their agenda on us without our full

knowledge or input, we know that "DOT OR AVIATION HOLDS THE TRUMP CARD" , BECAUSE YOU HAVE

TOLD US MANY TIMES.

Willow Air Taxi Is not operating on the lake until next summer. Historically,there are no recorded accidents with

aircraft on the lake, WHAT IS THE RUSH?

I agree we need meetings and solutions that meet THE BEST USE OF STATE LANDS/WATER.

Subject: Willow Lake meeting

Mr. Stroman

I understand you are having a meeeting Jan. 8, 2008 ref Willow Lake. One of the main issues for

property owners is that you and Mr. Von scheben Indicated in tetters and E-mails that DOT, STILL

maintains authority to TAKE property from land owners under SAFETY OF AVIATION. Beings this is the

situation. I'm understanding that this threat exists on all properties on the Lake. The question will be

asked if this threat pertains to any properties off the Lake and specifically which ones? Could you

please answer this question?

Mr. Stroman, I still maintain a request that you cease all negotiations for a Lake Plan on Willow Lake. You

are indicating to property owners that they have many choices and options to this Lake plan. If DOT

Authority is maintained under SAFETY OF AVIATION as you and Mr Von Scheben have indicated the

choices DOT has are few, and your REQUIREMENTS and LIABILITIES are many.

May I suggest, that DOT REVISIT THE POSSIBILITY of Authority of Willow Lake reverting back to DNR

UNDER GENERAL USE as this type of Authority Is much more flexible. It would cure many of the obvious

problems. It definetely would be less expensive for DOT and property owners. Your leases CAN BE

MAINTAINED under DNR. Check with them, and the Feds. WE DID.

You might step back and take a look as to what is in the best interest, and best use of Willow Lake, for the

Community of Willow, and the State NOW and in the FUTURE. I believe you will see that GENEIRAL

USE is this BEST INTEREST of the public

Thank you for your time, and see you at the meeting.

Mike R. Holzman

P.S. I didn't receive notice from DOT for this meeting. Don't you have notice and time requirements to
fulfill to even have meetings that WILL have impact on the Public? This is exactly, one of the problems on
how DOT acquired Authority in 1964, the public process is suppose to have TRANSPARENCY.

education institutions. Navigator was cited in the publication's December 4, 2007, issue, which rated the
Top 28 web sites in seven categories — one of which was college search tools. Money notes that the web site,
unlike many other college search tools, is not tied to any marketing department seeking students' personal
information. It also credits the web site for being "one of the simplest" to use, for having "a good
comparison tool," and for providing "a full set of the latest data on expenses, aid, enrollment, admission and
graduation rates, majors, and more, along with a Google map pinpointing location." Launched in
September, Navigator is one of several agency resources developed to supply the public with clear and
reliable infortnation on the college selection process and federal financial aid. They are part of Secretary
Spellings' plan to make the American higher education system more accessible, affordable, and accountable.

Subject: Senate pre-filed bills - select summaries

Governor ,

Here are a few of the highlighted Senate pre-filed bills. I'll work on the House now,

RK

SB 192 DYSON - Relating to the state budget, to performance of state agencies, including
the judicial branch, and to missions and desired results to be applied to certain
expenditures by state agencies; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: This is
essentially a missions & measures bill, a pet theme of Dyson's and something he really
wants to push„,accountability for agencies«,or, '"results-based government designed to
increase efficiency and effectiveness of state programs and services." This would feature
a semi-annual report to the legislature, by the agencies, outlining their performance, and
a prioritizing of agency functions. For each new budget item, the agency must identify
the mission and desired results the new item is intended to address . This also applies to
the 0A and judicial branch.

SB 198 WIELECHOWSKI AND THOMAS - Extending the statute of limitations for the filing of
complaints with the Alaska Public Offices Commission involving state election campaigns,
reducing the period in which an elected candidate may continue to accept contributions;
limiting the quantity of vmused campaign contributions a candidate may transfer to a
political party; increasing the penalty for a lobbyist or employer of a lobbyist who fails
to properly register or file a report; and extending the statute of limitations for
prosecutions of violations of the Alaska Election Code. SUMMARY: Allows for an
administrative complaint to be filed within four years (instead of one year) after the

PRA GSP01 0009398

date of the alleged violation. It is also retroactive to apply to allegations one-year
prior to the effective date of the bill. The bill increases the penalty for late filing
of campaign reports from $10/day to $50/day. There are also aspects to this bill dealing
with campaign donations that will need further review. I'm not comfortable enough to say
whether it's too far-reaching. We decided to drop a bill dealing with the statute of
limitations issue once we realized Wielechowski would have the upper hand on passage. We
have directed APOC, DOA and Law to help Wielechowski in any way that is needed to craft
his legislation.

SB 199 THERRIAULT - Extending the statute of limitations for the filing of complaints with
the Alaska Public Offices Commission involving state election campaigns. SUMMARY: Allows
for an administrative complaint to be filed within four years (instead of one year) after
the date of the alleged violation.

SB 200 THERRIAULT - Making it a crime for a public servant to fail to report certain
criminal conduct. SUMMARY: This would make it a Class A misdemeanor and deals with
coercion, extortion and perjury.

SB 201 WIELECHOWSKI - Relating to the establishment and maintenance of an Internet website
providing public finance information; and identifying the information to be available on
the Internet website. SUMMARY: It sets a date of October 1, 2009 to have the website up
and running. Annette Kreitzer is working on her response to this bill: ''I will thank the
Senator for his support of the $40.0 million borrowing authority that I think was in the
FYOe budget (my office is checking the facts on our response to this) - and that Gov.
Palin is well on the way to replacing antiquated technology with a more open, transparent
process. And we look forward to his continued support for these efforts..."

SB 202 WIELECHOWSKI - Relating to expenditures in aid of or to implement the provisions of
the federal Real ID Act. SUMMARY: This is a one-liner, stating that "The commissioner of
public safety and the commissioner of administration may not expend funds in aid of or to
implement or assist in the implementation of the federal Real ID Act of 2005."

SB 203 WIELECHOWSKI - Requiring a legislator to abstain from voting on questions affecting
an enterprise if the legislator or member of the legislator's immediate family has a
financial interest in the enterprise that is sxibstantial, and requiring a legislator to
abstain from taking or withholding official action or exerting official influence in
certain matters in which the legislator's action or influence could benefit another
person. SUMMARY: This one should be controversial as it has seemingly far-reaching
implications for those legislators with family members that have ties to certain
businesses. It also addresses undue influence which would seem to be difficult to prove.
Law will have to further review this bill.

SB 215 HUGGINS - Relating to issuance of identification cards and to issuance of driver »s
licenses; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: This attempts to prevent illegal
immigrants from obtaining a driver's license.

Statehood Celebration Kicks Off at Anchorage Museum

January 4, 2008, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin unveiled the new Alaska
Statehood Celebration license plate at a statehood celebration kick-off event at the
Anchorage Museum of History and Art. The new license plate was designed by Sitka artist

The new license plates will be the standard plates issued through 2009. Motorists who
wish to change their current plates may purchase the new statehood anniversary plates for
$5 at the Division of Motor Vehicles.

''This is a great start to what will be a wonderful year leading up to the 50th anniversary
of statehood," said Governor Palin. *'I encourage all Alaskans to take part in the many
celebrations that are planned around the state."

The Alaska Statehood Celebration Commission, established in 2005, has organized numerous
events to commemorate Alaska's 50th anniversary of admission as the 49th state. The
events will take place across Alaska on dates that coincide with the historical events

1

PRA GSP01 0009402

that led to statehood.

May 28, 2008 Celebration event in Fairbanks to commemorate the date Congress
passed the Alaska Statehood Act

July 4, 2008 weekend event in Juneau marking the July 7 date the Act was signed
by President Dwight D. Eisenhower

January 3, 2009 Grand ball in Anchorage to celebrate the signing of the
Declaration of Statehood

Communities across the state are encouraged to participate. For more information, visit

Please tell me what authority you are using to waive the 30 day notice period as required per AS
44.62.190? A PUBLIC WORK SHOP, ("TO HELP WRITE A WILLOW LAKE USE PLAN THAT WHEN
IMPLEMENTED WILL ALLOW SAFE USE OF THE LAKE"), is a very IMPORTANT MEETING, AS IT
IMPLIES THAT THE USES OF THE LAKE WILL CHANGE.

We the public NEED NOTICE, so that we can plan our time to participate in these meetings. I think that is

why we have AS 44.62.190, so that the BEST INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC CAN BE SERVED.

Again, I ask you what date did you post the notice of the meeting in the Daily News?

1 know you posted the notice on the State of Alaska's "On Line Public Notice" on January 3, 2008. That

gives us 5 days notice which is not sufficent notice time.

I still have not received the notice or the draft plan, that you mailed, what date were they mailed? No one

I know has received your notice.

After 40 years of DOTS NON-MANGEMENT of the lake why are you pushing this so fast. Our last
meeting was on October 10,2007. You had plenty of time to plan the next meeting with a full 30-day legal
notice period. Huggins and Neumans office just stated that they would be sending their representives to
the meeting as they are both in Juneau.

As a property owner, I can not help but feel that DOT is trying to push off their agenda on us without our
full knowledge or input, we know that "DOT OR AVIATION HOLDS THE TRUMP CARD" , BECAUSE
YOU HAVE TOLD US MANY TIMES.

Willow Air Taxi is not operating on tiie lake until next summer. Historically,there are no
recorded accidents with aircraft on the lake, WHAT IS THE RUSH?

I agree we need meetings and solutions that meet THE BEST USE OF STATE LANDS/WATER.

Good day Ms. Holzman.

I'm sorry that I haven't gotten to you earlier but I was out of office. Thank you for
letting me know you haven't received notice of the up-coming workshop for the Willow Lake
Use Plan. I've checked with Central Region and they say all letters have been mailed and
notices posted in Willow and published in the Anchorage Daily News. I confirmed that a
letter was mailed to you and I hope you have now received the letter with a copy of the
plan .

The information you requested, complaints on lake use, will be available for you by the
11th. It has been a busy time and we've had people on vacation. Our clerical support
will be back on the 7th of January so I plan on having the information to you shortly
thereafter.

Ron,

I have not recieved your notice about the January 8th Lake Plan Meeting, I
have not received a copy of your draft lake plan and X have still not
received a copy of the written record of all complaints that you have

PRA GSP01 0009420

received regarding Willow Lake that I requested last November . When can I
expect you to send me these items? What date was DOT'S notice of the
meeting in the Daily News Paper? I checked the Willow Community Bulletin
Board yesterday January 2, 2008 and there was no posting about a DOT
workshop. However, there was a notice of the WACO public meeting scheduled
for January 7, 2008, Just curious, but when did you mail the notice to us,
the property owners about this January 8, 2007 meeting? It makes one wonder
why you would plan a meeting and not notice the interested parties in a
timely manner! Why does DOT continue to keep us in the dark? If not for
James Riley we would not know of your DOT meeting.

Again, please send me the written record of all the complaints that you have
received regarding Willow Lake, this includes, phone calls, emails and
written complaints as this is piiblic information.
Thanks , Linda - Lou

MESSAGE :

I am very concerned about the present F&G policy on moose harvesting.

I^ve lived in Alaska 32 years, hunted all my adult life. I see nothing good coming out of
the wholesale killing of cow moose buy the hundreds, even thousands. The killing of every
cow moose is the killing of possibly 20 moose in that cow's lifetime.

Fly the Tanana Flats now, and see how many moose you DON'T see. Unlike years before the
policy of killing cow moose.

Who is Don Young to predict the survival rate of our moose population?

Predicting kill off by heavy snow, lack of food?

How can he predict what the numbers of die off will possibly be»

If you kill off all the breed stock, and then have a die off what will be left?

PRA GSP01 0009424

I believe Don Young is going to single handily kill off our alternative food supply in the
Fairbanks area.

Or is there an alternitive motive?

Thanks for listening Jack Koegle

It calls for doa to set up and maitain a website that posts all deposits, tax proceeds,
agency earnings, all revenues earned, and "gifts, donations, federal receipts." However, it
never mentions the legislature so I believe it applies to the executive branch only.

The spin on this is, we don't need legislation to do what can be done administratively. In
testimony I can say (diplomaticly of course) this legislation is all good and well but
here are the steps the administration has taken to implement the on-line check book, a
project we've been working on for x months, with a projected end date of x. Either way,
his legislation won't go anywhere. He wants approval from doa so he'll be granted from
lyda (who doesn't like the bill) fewer committees of referral-this is what we need to sit
down and discuss w russ.

Senator Bill Wielechowski

For Immediate Release: January 3, 2008

New Legislation Would Open

The State's Checkbook to Public Scrutiny

(ANCHORAGE) - A bill that would enable Alaskans to easily track state government spending

was introduced today by Sen. Bill Wielechowski (D - Anchorage) , It calls for the
creation of a free, publicly searchable website with detailed and comprehensive
information on state expenditures.

"All Alaskans deserve to know how their state dollars are being spent," Wielechowski said
today, ^'Public scrutiny of state spending will reduce waste and ensure that Alaska's
limited funds are directed to the state's most essential needs. The Alaska Open
Government Act will help achieve that."

Across the country, taxpayers are clamoring for better information about government
spending and greater accountability. Wielechowski believes Alaskans have a right to this
type of detailed information.

The federal government just posted its "^checkbook" online at www. federal spending, gov.

Democrats and Repiiblicans in Congress put aside their differences to pass the landmark
legislation that led to creation of this website. Senator Wielechowski hopes the same
thing will happen in Alaska.

In 2007, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and Hawaii passed legislation requiring on-
line posting of state expenditures. At least 13 other states are considering '^taxpayer
transparency acts," including Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, New Mexico, Marylaind,
Florida, Georgia, Colorado, North Dakota, Washington, Connecticut, Tennessee, and
Louisiana.

In addition, several governors have issued executive orders that require web posting of
state expenditures. They include Gov, Blunt of Missouri and Gov. Sanford of South
Carolina.

Wielechowski noted that a more informed public will lead to better government decisions.
"This bill will empower Alaskans to become fiscal watchdogs and add more accountability
to government spending i "

out of his sail when we do this and subsequently have to testify on his bill. This should
come from russ to you though- i don't want to unintentionally step on his toes. Kevin,
commissioner and I will discuss today at 9 when she calls in. . Annette found out from
hawaii so I»m sure she's been thinking of ways to proceed. Kevin and I will have this same
talk w russ to get him all the details of the progress we can start making. Sorry I bucked
the lines of communication- i assumed you heard since we received the same press release.

Alaska Legislature

I Senator Bill Wielechowski

For Immediate Release: January 3, 2008

New Legislation Would Open

The State's Checkbook to Public Scrutiny

(ANCHORAGE) - A bill that would enable Alaskans to easily track state government spending

was introduced today by Sen. Bill Wielechowski (D - Anchorage) . It calls for the
creation of a free, publicly searchable website with detailed and comprehensive
information on state expenditures.

*All Alaskans deserve to know how their state dollars are being spent," Wielechowski said
today. ''Public scrutiny of state spending will reduce waste and ensure that Alaska's
limited funds are directed to the state's most essential needs. The Alaska Open
Government Act will help achieve that."

Across the country, taxpayers are clamoring for better information about government
spending and greater accountability. Wielechowski believes Alaskans have a right to this
type of detailed information.

The federal government just posted its ''checkbook" online at www, federalspending.gov.

Democrats and Republicans in Congress put aside their differences to pass the landmark
legislation that led to creation of this website. Senator Wielechowski hopes the same
thing will happen in Alaska.

In 2007, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and Hawaii passed legislation requiring on-
line posting of state expenditures. At least 13 other states are considering ^taxpayer
transparency acts," including Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, New Mexico, Maryland,
Florida, Georgia, Colorado, North Dakota, Washington, Connecticut, Tennessee, and
Louisiana.

In addition, several governors have issued executive orders that require web posting of
state expenditures. They include Gov. Blunt of Missouri and Gov, Sanford of South
Carolina.

PRA GSP01 0009443

Wielechowski noted that a more informed public will lead to better government decisions.

"This bill will empower Alaskans to become fiscal watchdogs and add more accountability
to government spending . "

Subject: Administration logs/protocol

Wyatt was just in here helping me change passwords and commented on the new policy about
logging personal cell phone calls. He said he plans to turn in his Blackbeny because he
doesn't want to deal with the paperwork hassle of logging personal calls. He also made a good
point of asking rhetorically what is our chargeback rate to the state when we use our personal
resources for state business. Our own personal phones, computers, vehicles, etc.

As you probably know, part of his job involves roaming office to office to help with computer
issues and not having him available by phone will cause delay in getting computers fixed.
Maybe we should have an actual lawyer in Law look at what the IRS has actually said if Admin
can't craft a reasonable policy that includes not having to log incidental use.

The Department of Administration has advised us of the following changes to travel
reimbursements effective January 1, 2008.

The mileage reimbursement rate has been increased to $.505 per mile, concurrent
with the change to the IRS standard mileage rate.

Travelers who are in travel status for more than 12 hours but not in travel status
overnight will still be entitled to a meal and incidental expense allowance (M&IE) if
they are in travel status for at least three consecutive hours during a meal period,
but these payments will now be included as taxable compensation on employee W-2s
in accordance with direction received from the Internal Revenue Service. Travel
reimbursements for same day travel for M85IE allowances will be processed through
payroll.

Travelers who wish to avoid a tax consequence as a result of same day travel M8bIE
allowance should indicate on their TA that no per diem is requested. There are no
changes to other expense reimbursements related to same day travel. Those
reimbursements will continue to be processed by the travel section.

A Servant Air flight carrying 10 people crashed about 100 yards from the Kodiak airport
just before 2 p.m. today, according to Alaska State Troopers and the U.S. Coast
Guard. "There are four people in stable condition, the other six conditions, I am unaware
of," said Chief Petty Officer Barry Lane.

In a voice mail. Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters .said little was known about the crash
Saturday afternoon, but that some passengers had been killed.

According to the Coast Guard, a Trident Seafoods floatplane recovered four of the
passengers, while a Coast Guard helicopter recovered another.

Those passengers were taken to Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center.

"The remaining five are trapped in the fuselage. And as we're speaking, the Alaska state
toopers and the Kodiak police just recovered the remaining five people on board, " Lane
said just before 5 p.m.

"Originally the plane was submerged, and now that the tide has receded, rescue crews were
able to recover the bodies," he said a moment later.

The plane, a Piper Navajo Chieftan, was headed to Homer, he said.

Walt just left me a message that a 9 seat plane went into the water on its trip from
Kodiak to Homer. The plane was close to Homer which should make search and rescue
operations a little easier. No word yet on status of the nine individuals in the water
but I will pass along updates as Walt sends them.

screwed up and people do work that doesn't catch up to the next person and then you end up
sorting it out.

If it works for you I'm ok with it, but I also don't mind stepping back for a day or two

URGENT — Dillingham murder of 14 year old investigation - requested

Dear Governor Palin & Attorney General Colberg:

This is a very difficult email to send. I'd like to ask the State of
Alaska's Attorney General's office to investigate the circumstances
involving a murder of a 14 year boy in Dillingham by another 14 year

old.

on a

I've always been suspcious of how this happened, but, yesterday
flight from Dillingham to Anchorage I heard through a foster parent

that the 14 year old suspect ( Privileged or Per) was in the state of

Alaska's custody at the time he killed the victim. I heard rumor
previously this is the case, but, I think this warrants an independent
review from the Attorney General's office.

The suspect ( Privileged or Pen) was on a home visit to his mother's

house {where the state previously removed him from) smd the mother was
intoxicated & allowed the child to drink alcohol when the murder
occurred. It's a horrible situation in which the State of Alaska
needs to be accountable for -- there's people working in positions
that made decisions that allowed this horrific event to take place and
we need someone to step in from outside of Dillingham to review it.
The family of the victim is from a village and I'm sure has no idea of
the circumstances of the case and aren't red-tape savvy to inquire

themselves .

The homicide occurred in June of 2007. I think

there's people in Dillingham keeping things 'hush hush' to protect
their jobs.

I also ask the Attorney General to investigate how the case is
proceeding. My suggestion is that the Attorney General's Office
request an entire copy of the court files involving Privileged or Persd

PRA GSP01 0009478

(both the Child in Need of Aid Case & the Deliguency Case) from the
court. Then I think the AG should get a copy of the District
Attorney's files and then copies of the Office of Children's Services
Files on Privileged or Pers and her mother. He should spring it on

everyone at the same time S:, I think this warrants a visit from an
Independent Investigator from the AG's office to visit Dillingham,

Our community is majorly dysfuncitonal and this is a true sign of the
dysfunction that I saw as 12 years when I was the Clerk of Court and
Peputy Magistrate in Dillingham. My 14 year old daughter RoxAnn
attended school with the suspect and the poor child never had a chance
in life. It's a sad, sad day in the State of Alaska when the children
we're supposed to be protecting and in state custody take the life of
another in a black out alcoholic state.

I can be reached at (206)733-0360 cell phone, or at work Ocean Beauty
Seafoods in Seattle (206)285-6800 ex 1967. I'd never, ever go to the
press with this information, but, if I'm putting this together from
outside the State system from rumors, the press will surely get ahold
of it soon. Your administration needs to be on it.
Thank you, I look forward to hearing a response soon.

Sincerely,
Cindy Rogue

This guy was re-appointed to the Board of Forestry this year...

Palin quite correct in opposing endangered listing for polar bears

Gov. Sarah Palin justified her opposition to listing polar bears under the Endangered Species Act In

the Daily News ("Alaska takes seriously its Job of protecting polar bears," Dec. 18). She believes

polar bears should be conserved, but ESA is not the way to address climate change. Her position

was criticized by Kassie Slegel (Dec. 24), Diane Pleninger (Dec. 26) and Jean Kollantai (Jan. 3).

I agree with Gov. Palin that it is inappropriate to use the ESA of one country for one species to

address globai climate change.

Also, consider the role of federal and state government, Pleninger believes the state has no

decision-making role for ESA. It is true that federal biologists have monopolized the writing,

reviewing and editing of ESA documents, but states are supposed to get special consideration and

all citizens can participate.

Federal jurisdiction is actually inappropriate considering the 10th Amendment to the U.S.

Constitution:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the

States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Wildlife management is properly relegated to the states. The ESA is sometimes justified under the

interstate commerce clause of the Constitution, but this is contrived. Regardless, in the United

States, polar bears occur in only one state, Alaska, so even the ICC justification is invalid in this

case. The governor is doing her duty by exercising state jurisdiction.

Subject: Federal Issues List for 2008/DC Govemor*s Office

Below for your information and review is our proposed federal issues list for 2008.

The list includes issues pending before congress and various federal agencies. The
Ust has been revised from its 2007 counterpart to reflect legislative and executive
branch activity last year. In addition, we have included items that are likely to
receive attention in 2008. Of course, issues will be added or deleted during the
course of the year as further activity occurs.

The annual task of formulating the list forces us to the discipline of identifying those
federal issues which will most affect Alaska. Another purpose is to generate
discussion within the administration to ensure that we have selected those issues
which are of greatest significance to the cabinet, specieil assistants, and you.

With this in mind, we would appreciate any comments or suggestions which you or
others might have.

Federal Issues List - 2008

(not in priority order)

DC Governor's Office

Federal appropriations and grants, including policy riders

Gas pipeline including AGIA applications and process

Oil pipeline integrity and con-osion; North Slope infrastructure

Federal oil and gas leasing, NPR-A and offshore

Energy legislation/ANWR

Subject: Nikiski beach access

Governor, Mike
FYI

We are getting numerous calls from the Nikiski area regarding the closing off of beach access
in the vicinity of Boulder Point. There is a privately owned dock (Nikiski Offshore systems
dock) a small port facility that the US Coast Guard has recently imposed a set of security
restrictions on. This company supplies the off shore drill rigs in Cook Inlet. The company has
set up a manned security post and beach access that the residents of Nikiski have enjoyed for
decades is no longer available to them. There has been public out cry and the phones here
have been ringing off the hook. I initiated a call to Federal Homeland Security folks to see what
is going on as did our state HLS office and indicated the concern from the residents. This area
is the only beach access for the locals for recreation, set net sights, boat access for about a 10
to 15 mile stretch.

Long story short the feds HLS folks contacted the US Coast Guard to see if they can wori^
sometiiing out to ease up on the restrictions and still get acceptable security measures in place
without denying the beach access to residents. That meeting will take place in the next week
or so but for now it sounds Ijke HLS feels that there may be a workable solution. I will stay on
it.

Subject: RE: Willow Lake meeting

Good morning Mr. Hoizman

You are correct we are holding a workshop on Tuesday, the 8^ from 6PM to 8PM to work on the Willow Lake use
plan. And yes, the department has the authority under applicable statute to "take" property as you say under the
aegis of safety of aviation. While this is an option available to the department (it's available for acquisition of
lands for roads, utilities, trails^ public fecilitles, etc) the department has looked directly at this scenario and has
determined that it is not in the best interest of the State to fomnally establish runways on the lake because to do
so would require runways being established on all water bodies owned or operated by the State, thus we are not
going to pursue this option. You asked if the State's "taking" would impact non-lake front owners. Yes, it could.
Not only is there a transitional surface that affects those immediately on the lake but the approaches (safety
areas) extend beyond the end of each runway to approximately 1 ,000 feet with a width of approximately
500" (250' to either side of runway centerline). This distance could be increased depending on category of
navigational aid or aircraft. Because the department will not pursue acquisition of private property to support
runways on the lake, we have not asked our engineers to give us a detailed plat showing what lands could be
affected.

I appreciate your suggestion Mike about giving the management authority over the lake back to DNR. As you are
aware, the State has committed the entire airport holdings under a federal grant; Federal Aviation Administration,
Airport Improvement Program. Under this program, the State signed a "grant assurances" document that requires
the State to uphold all the provisions of the grant One such provision Is that we not take or permit any action
which would deprive the department of any of the rights and powers necessary to perform any or all of the terms,
conditions, and assurances in the grant agreement It goes on to say that the department will not transfer or
dispose of our title or other interest in the property that has been committed under the grant Further, we are
party to contracts (leases) with aviation users on the lake that DNR hasn't authority (they don't have authority
under statute to operate an aviation facility, that right falls under DOT under AS 02 AeronauticsV

You mentioned that DOT has few choices to maintain safety but many requirements and liabiltUes. While this is
true, we are trying to establish a parity and mutual respect between lake users. I believe that there are options
and altematives that may not give everyone, whether aviation or recreational, the same freedoin of actions as
once they enjoyed but sufficient freedom of use that everyone will continue to be able to use and enjoy the lake
but be more cognizant of other categories of use. This is where a lake use plan comes into effect. The
attainment of success will be dependant on everyone working together and not at cross purposes.

Tve checked with Central Region and was told that the letters were mailed December 31®^ The public notices
were distributed the same day. IVe attached a copy of ^e draft plan. Thanks for taking the time to write me and
expressing your views. See you at the meeting.

Subject: Willow Lake meeting

Mr. Stroman

I understand you are having a meeeting Jan. 8, 2008 ref. Willow Lake, One of the main issues for property

owners is that you and Mr Von scheben indicated in letters and E-mails that DOT, SULL maintains authority

to TAKE property from land owners under SAFETY OF AVIATION. Beings this is the situation. I'm understanding

that this threat exists on all properties on the Lake. The question will be asked if this threat pertains to any

properties off the Lake and specifically whrch ones? Could you please answer this question?

Mr. Stroman, I still maintain a request that you cease all negotiations for a Lake Plan on Willow Lake. You are

indicating to property owners that they have many choices and options to this Lake plan. If DOT Authority is

maintained under SAFETY OF AVIATION as you and Mr Von Scheben have indicated the choices DOT has are

few. and your REQUIREMENTS and LIABILITIES are many.

May I suggest, that DOT REVISIT THE POSSIBILITY of Authority of Willow Lake reverting back to DNR UNDER

GENERAL USE as this type of Authority is much more flexible. It would cure many of the obvious problems. It

definetely would be less expensive for DOT and property ovmers. Your leases CAN BE MAINTAINED under

DNR. Check with them, and the Feds. WE DID.

You might step back and take a look as to what is in the best interest, and best use of Willow Lake, for the

Community of Willow, and the State NOW and in the FUTURE. I believe you will see that GENERAL USE is this

BEST INTEREST of the public

Thank you for your time, and see you at the meeting.

P.S. I didn't receive notice from DOT for this meeting. Don't you have notice and time requirements to fulfill to
even have meetings that WILL have impact on the Public? This is exactly, one of the problems on how DOT

acquired Authority in 1964, the public process is suppose to have TRANSPARENCY.

Immigration is Not Black and White

Tamar Jacoby, OqIIqs Morning News, January 7, 2008

(This article originally appeared in the LosAngetes Times, 1-2-2008 )

YouVe heard it alt a dozen times. That the public is virulently anti-immigrant. That political leaders -

including President Bush and the senators from both parties who voted last summer to overhaul the

immigration system - are hopelessly out of touch with this angry tide. That millions of people across

the country are going to vote on the basis of their fury. . . The only problem: It isn't so. The situation

isn't nearly so black and white. . .

A Question for HiUarv

Tarren Bragdon, Wall Street Journal, January 5, 2008

Sen. Hillary Clinton is running for president, in part, on a platform that calls for more government
health care. So let's ask a question that may hit a little too close to home: Why does New York spend
more on Medicaid -- a health-care program for the poor — than every other state but still have a larger
portion of its population walking around without health insurance than states that spend far less? Last
year, New York spent $48' billion on Medicaid. That amounts to about $2,100 for every man, woman
and child. Yet 13.5% of the state's populabon lacks health insurance. . . Over the past decade, the
state has attempted to reduce the number of uninsured residents by expanding eligibility for
government-sponsored health care. This approach is not solving the uninsured problem. . .

A second cttance for former inmates

Stephen Goldsmith and W!Miam B. Eimicke, San Diego Union Tribune , January 4, 2008
Approximately 750,000 prisoners gained their freedom in 2007. This staggering number reflects a
fourfold increase, since 1980, tn the number of people incarcerated, and a twelvefold increase, In
almost that period of time, in the number of drug-related convictions, due to more vigorous
enforcement and the adoption of severe drug laws and strict sentencing. With the U.S. Sentencing
Commission's recent loosening of its guidelines, an additional 20,000 offenders convicted of selling or
possessing small amounts of cocaine are likely to be released in 2008. . .

Judge James T. Vaughn Jr. of Delaware Superior Court, described as the state's top judge, has
appointed a panel to investigate business complaints of a flood of out-of-state asbestos claims into the
state of Delaware. "James A. Wolfe, the state Chamber's president and chief executive officer, noted
that there were 62 cases -- nearly all alleging exposure in Delaware -- on the court's docket in 2004.
But between May 2005 and Sept. 30 of this year, 577 more cases were filed — 445 by nonresidents
who largely allege they were exposed to asbestos in another state". . .

Subject: RE; RE;

Good moming Mr. Boyd.

Thank you for taking the time to write expressing your view about Willow Lake and a lake use plan. While
I personally agree that the issues between aviation and recreational use of the lake could be fixed at the
local level, the comments I have received indicate that there is a need for clear standards for lake use that
will be known by everyone. We appreciate the fact that there hasn't been an accident on Willow Lake
between a watercraft and an aircraft. However, as you have been on the lake for 18 years, I believe you
can attest to the fact that there is a considerable increase In lake use by both recreational users and
aircraft. Until a few years ago, the amount of comments we received in complaint of one user or another
was very few and far between. The number and amount of complaints we received each year for the last
three years indicates that there are problems that must be addressed. It was offered at a public meeting
that a lake use plan be developed. There is merit to that suggestion.

Over the initial years of compliant, the State supported resolution of the issues by the users. However,
resolution hasn't happened. When there isn't a middle ground that everyone is willing to accept, and
safety has become compromised, it is the responsibility of the State, as owner of the lake to initiate action
that will lead to resolution. Thus, we will work toward implementing a use plan. The focus of the
workshop tomorrow will be multi-use. I anticipate a few more such meeting between now and the start of
the summer season, when a plan will be implemented,

I checked with Central Region and was informed that letters were mailed December 31. and a public
notice was published and posted the same day. I guess you could say Gary that our motives are to
develop a safe operating environment for all users of Willow Lake and I hope you will be a participant in
achieving ^is goal by attending this and follow-up workshops. Again, thanks for writing and expressing
your views.

because of a conflict with a watercraft. This proposed lake management plan is not needed. Once again

Hi Ron,

Please tell me what authority you are using to waive the 30 day notice period as required per AS 44.62.190?
A PUBLIC WORK SHOP, ("TO HELP WRITE A WILLOW LAKE USE PLAN THAT WHEN IMPLEMENTED WILL
ALLOW SAFE USE OF THE LAKE"), is a very IMPORTANT MEETING, AS IT IMPLIES THAT THE USES OF
THE LAKE WILL CHANGE.

We the public NEED NOTICE, so that we can plan our time to participate in these meetings. I think that is why we

have AS 44.62.190, so that the BEST INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC CAN BE SERVED.

Again, I ask you what date did you post the notice of the meeting in the Daily News?

I know you posted the notice on the State of Alaskans "On Line Public Notice" on January 3. 2008. That gives us

5 days notice which is not sufficent notice time.

1 still have not received the notice or the draft plan, that you mailed, what date were they mailed? No one I know

has received your notice.

After 40 years of DOTS NON-MANGEMENT of the lake why are you pushing this so fast Our last meeting was
on October 10,2007. You had plenty of time to plan the next meeting with a full 30-day legal notice period.
Muggins and Neumans office just stated that they would be sending their representives to the meeting as they are
both in Juneau.

As a property owner, I can not help but feel that DOT Is trying to push off their agenda on us without our full
Knowledge or input, we know that "DOT OR AVIATION HOLDS THE TRUMP CARD" , BECAUSE YOU HAVE
TOLD US MANY TIMES.

Willow Air Taxi is not operating on the lake until next summer. Historically,there are no
recorded accidents with aircraft on the lake, WHAT IS THE RUSH?

I agree we need meetings and solutions that meet THE BEST USE OF STATE LANDS/WATER.
Thanks, Linda

«Kivalina Emergency Transfer Plan 2007Oct9.doc»

Dear Governor Palin,

AInnost three months ago I sent the email beiow and these three attachments requesting
State action to cover the emergency response costs being experienced in Kivalina. I
have had no formal response and there does not appear to have been a state disaster
declaration.

Alaska Village Electric Cooperative has spent $570,000 to respond to the September
13/14, 2008 stomns, culminating in relocating 10 of its 13 tanks to an area deemed to be
safer than their prior location. AVEC does not have the financial wherewithal to simply
absorb an operating expense of this magnitude and we have repeatedly requested
assistance from the State, with no results.

There appears to be a perception that, because AVEC is a cooperative serving 53
villages, we should be able to incur an expense such as this and spread the cost
between all 53 villages. The question that must be posed is - if this had happened in
Buckland or Deering, would the local electric utility be expected to absorb such a cost?
The answer is - no, not only could they not do that, they would simply have been unable
to accomplish the tank move and, no doubt, the State would have stepped in and done
it for them.

There is no justification for treating AVEC any differently that any other small local
essential service provider that is under threat. The State of Alaska and the US Coast
Guard summoned AVEC to a meeting in late September and essentially directed us to
proceed with moving the tank farm. Two weeks earlier, the Coast Guard informed
AVEC that our 100,000 gallons of fuel were an imminent threat to the community due to
the rapidly eroding shoreline adjacent to the tank farm. At that time, our fuel supplier
had already been contacted by ADEC and the USCG to explore the possibility of
removing the fuel from the community. AVEC was willing to remove the fuel, but it could
not have been brought back to the community again by barge. At that time, the
Department of Homeland Security informed AVEC that we could be liable for million of
dollars in damages should our actions precipitate an evacuation of the community and
the USCG informed us that we could be liable for millions of dollars in cleanup costs
should our fuel be spilled due to beach erosion. Relocation pf the tank farm was
deemed by the USCG, ADEC and DHS to be the best course of action. Assurances
(verbal, of course) were given that State disaster funds would be forthcoming.

RE: Ongoing Disaster in Kivalina - Need for Action Page 2 of 3

AVEC has been placed in an extremely uncomfortable position by the lack of action at the
State level. Our only source of operating funds is from our membership. This project provided
no benefit to anyone other than those residing in Kivalina and our board will have to consider
recovering the costs from the electric consumers in Kivalina. This will mean a surcharge of
about 50 cents a kilowatthour for all electricity sold in Kivalina over the next 12 months.

I think it is unreasonable of the State of Alaska to not step up to the plate in a case like this
where a bona fide disaster existed and continued to unfold. The community of Kivalina has
responded to the best of their ability, as has AVEC. We should not be left holding the bag!

»

Dear Governor and menribers of the Disaster Policy Cabinet,

I apologize for tine informal nature of this email, but I have authorized the commencement of an
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 Kiel transfer if necessary. Of course, if the plan should be activated, ADEC
has infomied 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

ret Helping disabled soldiers to hunt again

from: Military Mom

I am a proud mother of a soldier, my only son who is 18, is also my hunting partner of
many years, I am a former Md. DNR Ranger /Naturalist, and a lady hunter. My son and I are
grateful for our ability to walk to and from our hunts, enjoy all the beauty and peace of
mind we find in the wilderness. We decided to share our abilities and recentlty started a
program here in Maryland, called " Huntin' Buddy's " for disabled troops. An idea one year
ago, one that has changed our lives,

I am the founder and coordinator of this volunteer service we provide to help our troops
that are so badly injured to hunt again, most of which were hunting prior to deployment.
We have gone to Army hospitals and met many soldiers, I arrange hunts, transportation,
lunch, woodland camo. clothing by donations, and depend on our volunteers to arrive ready
to help. We have had several deer and goose hunts in 07^ with some patients who are
amputees. We carry them into woodlands and marsh, and lakesides, form groups and sit next
to the soldiers during our hunts. They love getting outdoors again and feeling safe with
our groups, I also assist them to handle bows and firearms again with their disabilities
on target ranges. However, Maryland Game laws are written so that these troops have to
take Hunter safety and buy a Md. license, which would only be used on a very minimum
basis, some only once. They are still active duty, patients in a hospital, under therapy
and rehab. They are from other s

tates, So far, I have taken our troops out in the field with the understanding that they
cannot hold a weapon during a hunt. (I find this to be unusual after they just fought for
our country, and lost limbs in the process.) . Many more civilians, business owners and
all walks of life have joined "Huntin* Buddy's" to help. How would I get some kind of
special exception permit made for our disabled soldiers ?

Can you give me any suggestions as to who do I direct this matter ? We are in the process
of a web site in near future .

I hear from the worker bees in the field that Industry is on a roll against us - on a
rampage because they had no idea they wouldn't get their way on all issues.

We need more bodies in Communications to help on this, too, so Alaskans know the truth
about the situation and aren't tempted to panic due to Industry spin.

And we don't win ball games merely playing defense. We must go on the offense too.

Subject: Political Attack Coming

Governor ,

Both Marty and I have heard rumblings lately of a strategy being developed by the
producers and their allies to attack the administration, ACES in particular. So far we
have heard the sketchy outlines of two aspects of the strategy;

* The producers, led by BP, are planning to attribute budget cuts and project shut-downs
to ACES. The difficulty for them is that most of the cut-backs are completions of the
integrity upgrade work started 18 months ago with the Prudhoe Bay problems. They will
face a delicate balance in trying to announce the cuts, while also wanting to avoid
looking like they are not living up to their environmental /system integrity commitments.
We'll see how they play it. Most likely they will find some on-the-bubble projects to
"cancel" and then pile on all the system integrity pink slips as additional "costs" of the
ACES -related project cancelations. The job loss numbers will likely look significant, and
will cause a lot of public wringing of hands.

* In a reference to the ACES "standard deduction" that only allows producers to increase
costs at Prudhoe and Kuparuk by 3% each year, producer-friendly legislators (i.e. Ralph

3

PRA GSP01 0009520

Samuels) will introduce legislation to limit the state budget to no mpre than 3% of the
previous year's budget. The purpose seems to be to embarrass those who support ACES, and
also want to increase the budget. They are probably counting on the administration
opposing the idea. Given your budget announcement (1% increase in agency budgets, 4%
overall GF increase), there may be a way to endorse some aspect of the idea. It's sort of
an odd fit, since we are working on the Fy2009 budget this year, and the Standard
Deduction expires with the 2009 calendar year tax returns.

Governor ,

PRA GSP01 0009524

Both Marty and I have heard rumblings lately of a strategy being developed by the
producers and their allies to attack the administration, ACES in particular. So far we
have heard the sketchy outlines of two aspects of the strategy:

* The producers, led by BP, are planning to attribute budget cuts and project shut-downs
to ACES. The difficulty for them is that most of the cut-backs are completions of the
integrity upgrade work started 18 months ago with the Prudhoe Bay problems. They will
face a delicate balance in trying to announce the cuts, while also wanting to avoid
looking like they are not living up to their environmeutal/system integrity commitments.
We'll see how they play it. Most likely they will find some on-the-bubble projects to
"cancel" and then pile on all the system integrity pink slips as additional "costs" of the
ACES-related project cancelations. The job loss numbers will likely look significant, and
will cause a lot of public wringing of hands.

* In a reference to the ACES "standard deduction" that only allows producers to increase
costs at Prudhoe and Kuparuk by 3% each year, producer- friendly legislators (i.e. Ralph
Samuels) will introduce legislation to limit the state budget to no more than 3% of the
previous year's budget. The purpose seems to be to embarrass those who support ACES, and
also want to increase the budget. They are probably counting on the administration
opposing the idea. Given your budget announcement {1% increase in agency budgets, 4%
overall GF increase), there may be a way to endorse some aspect of the idea. It's sort of
an odd fit, since we are working on the Fy2009 budget this year, and the Standard
Deduction expires with the 2009 calendar year tax returns.

Both of these efforts are merely part of a larger strategy to do anything to make the
administration look bad. After AGIA and ACES, and particularly with the full rejection of
the SGDA contract, the producers are seriously ticked. Those who regularly work with
the oil industry say that the feelings are extremely strong, and they will look for any

Give us 30 days notice for these meetings as per AS 44.62.190. It appears to many of us that DOT is trying to

have SCERET MEETINGS, with only the chosen fFEW. 1 request that you cancel this meeting and reschedule

with the proper notice.

SiJibject: Shell's drilling plans

Governor :

I just recieved a phone call from Cam Toohey regarding their drilling plans for 2008. I
wish it were better news .

Due to complications with their air permit as well as the \xncertain outcome at the 9th
Circuit on their drilling plan. Shell will only commit one drill ship to 2008. The second
one will be used in the lower 48.

The reason they are making this move is to ensure that if they run into permitting and/or
legal challenges, they can still get support from their corporate leadership for 2009. If
they don't make this move, they are fearful that they would have spent almost $600 million
with nothing to show for it but seismic data. Dry holes would be one thing, but nothing
is unacceptable.

PRA GSP01 0009544

Ttie consequence here is that the drilling that would most likely occur would be shallower
and result in a longer period of time before they would know or be able to develop any
discoveries. That means a year further from the real economic benefits in the form of
jobs, but also a year further from increased throughput in TAPS. It is the increased TAPS
throughput that affects the State's bottom line--to the tune of $65 million annually.

Shell does intend to stick around. They are still going to commit one drill ship to the
Beaufort, they will continue their seismic program {and research), and they are still very
interested in the Chukchi lease sale next month. Of course, they are still extremely
interested in Point Thomson!

Also, Cam mentioned that Marvin Yodum would still like to catch up with you over the phone
regarding a variety of issues, including their vision of LNG's place in the development of
Alaska gas.

I think this is excellent and look forward to the public receiving this info so they

their offer just set us back to the Murkowski days, of course I'll hope to see those

Dear Governor Palin,

I have written to you before about appearing on KSRM radio's talk show "Sound Off." The
reason I am writing this time is because just this very minute Pat Hawkins on Sound Off
informed a caller, and by virtue everyone else listening, that you have a standing
invitation to appear on "Sound Off" and have declined and chosen not to appear. He then
wondered aloud why it was that a governor who took our area "by storm" would choose not to
appear and speak with the people after winning election.

I implore you to please call him up and just schedule an appearance. I can*t stand the way
he keeps talking about how you refuse and decline when in actuality I think it is because
he has not phoned you or emailed you and specifically invited you to appear. I think it
would not serve him if he did that, you would most probably agree to come on the program.
It is much easier for him to say you refuse... so please, Governor Palin, please call him
during the hours of 9 am - 11 am and just tell him you would like to answer any questions
the people may have, . ,

Thank you in advance

MESSAGE :

Hello, Governor Palin

I am Dan Reum former principal of Akiak, Ak. When they built our schools for Yupiit
School District by the time they finished there was not enough money for playground
equipment. My last year in Akiak which was 2007 we not only made AYP for the first time
ever we were successful in acquiring two small diabetes grants to begin building the
playground. We were also able to get community and school students involvement through
labor. I have pictures available of the project as completed so far.

We both know the need to keep all children active especially in the villages because of
the high rate of diabetes and alcohol that flows into them.

Why am I still interested becasue X made a promise to myself to help secure funding to
finish this playground for the students of Akiak. Again, the commimity, school personnel
and students will do their part in completing this project.

PRA GSP01 0009568

By my estimation we need $20,000 to finish this project. If you know of any state funds
available or grants I might apply for please advise me as to where to write.

I really enjoyed my tenure in Alaska and appreciate all you have done for education

Thank you for your time.

How something as trivial as idle costs of a building becomes a headline is beyond me. I
have cautiously responded to Stephanie of ADN for months. She is constantly trying to
sensationalize simple facts to, in my opinion, assure a follow up story when the situation
turns up different than reported.

The insinuation that there will be $600K left at the close of MM*s books is a perfect
example. I have emphatically expressed to her that we are managing the facility as
responsibly as possible and we hope to be able to return some of the appropriation, but I

What Is the State of American Business?

By Tom Donohue

In prior years, the U.S. Chamber been able to describe the state of the
American economy--and thus the state of American business-in a single
word or phrase. Not this year. There are both positive and negative signs to
point to.

Join the conversation.

Capital Roundup

Donohue Outlines Business Priorities

A mixed ecorK>my will be among the biggest issues affecting businesses in
2008, Chamber President and CEO Tom Donohue said during bis annual
State of American Business address today (Jan. 8). However, while there is a
risk of recession, the nation will "dodge the bullet" as the housing crisis
bottoms out and growth continues to pick up steam in the second half of
2008. Donohue said. "In prior years, we have been able to describe the state
of the American economy-and thus the state of American business-in a
single word or phrase. Not this year. There are both positive and negative
signs to point to."

Donohue also laid out the Chamber's agenda for the Immediate political and
polk:y priorities in the year ahead, and a broader five-year plan that includes
a comprehensive policy agenda for the nation and a strategy for the Chamber
as an organization, "Working together, we can build a globally competitive
economy that creates promising opportunities for the future and greater
finandal security today for every American," Donohue said.

Mr Stroman;

Thankyou for your response to my E-mail dated 1-04-2008.

1 can see by your E-mail that you are starting to see the magnitude of what is happening to Willow Lake.
Mr. Stroman, IF DOT maintains authority under the SAFETY OF AVIATION, you need to contact the
FAA and insure you are complying with all regulations set forth by Vne FAA flight standards office and
the PAR'S (Federal Aviation Regulations) . Willow Lake is very small. You do not have as many
alternatives and options that you would on a larger Lake. You say that DOT does not wish to take
property, and designate runways at this time in best interest of the State. Instead, you are accepting
Liability for altitude violations for all approach and departures for 360 degrees around the lake over
populated areas. Should an accident accure, and it be proven that DOT had authority under SAFETY
OF AVIATION and knowledge of non compliance of ANY regulation set forth by the FAA Flite
Standards, or FARS and made no effort to comply for any reason, would not only be LIABLE, but after a
pe^^od of time could be considered criminal.

Mr. Stroman, When you made indications of property seizures under SAFETY OF AVIATION at your
first meeting, and many times since. You brought real estate law into effect. Property owners must
notify potential buyers of the possible seizure of their property or face possible legal consequences.
Whether or not the state implements the seizure, makes no difference. DOT authority under SAFETY
OF AVIATION (if maintained) may require seizure of property. It may not be a choice. The property
owners have a right to know if their property is in jeopardy under SAFETY OF AVIATION. So once
again I ask. Specifically which pieces of real estate on and around Willow Lake are under the threat of
seizure by the state?.

I am aware of ( Federal grants, airport improvenr>ent programs, grant assurances, leases, etc.) that DOT
is party to. Research, documentation and communications with many state offices and the FAA is
beginning to indicate that Willow Lake itself may not have effect or technically be connected with any
programs connected to Wiltow Airport (Airport Improvement Program).The FAA has varified that they
have no interest or investment in Willow Lake. Therefore any grant moneys that DOT has received for
Willow Airport are specific to the upland Airport and have nothing to do with Willow Lake, This is an
avenue that you yourself might persue if you are truly interested in the best use, and best interest of
state lands.

As far as the DOT leases located on the upland shores of Willow Lake, these uplands are part of ILMT
ADL 22488. Willow Lake (the water surface of the lake is under ILMT ADL 1 8600, So relinquishment
of ADL 18500 would not involve DOTs upland leases(ie, Willow Air Taxi).

Thankyou for your time, and see you at the meeting;

I Mike R. Hoizman,

Good morning Mr. Hoizman

You are correct we are holding a workshop on Tuesday, the 8*^ from 6PM to 8PM to work on the Willow Lake
gse plan. And yes, the department has the authority under applicable statute to "take" property as you say
under the aegis of safety of aviation. While this is an option available to the department (its available for
acquisition of lands for roads, utilities, trails, public facilities, etc) the department has looked directly at this
scenario and has determined that it is not in the best interest of the State to formally establish runways on the
lake because to do so would require runways being established on all water bodies owned or operated by the
State, thus we are not going to pursue this option. You asked if the Staters "taking" would impact non-lake
front owners. Yes, it could. Not only is there a transitional surface that affects those immediately on the lake
but the approaches (safety areas) extend beyond the end of each runway to approximately 1,000 feet with a
width of approximately 500" (250* to either side of runway centerline). This distance could be increased
depending on category of navigational aid or aircraft. Because the department will not pursue acquisition of
private property to support runways on the lake, we have not asked our engineers to give us a detailed plat
showing what lands could be affected.

I appreciate your suggestion Mike about giving the management authority over the lake back to DNR. As you
are aware, the State has committed the entire airport holdings under a federal grant; Federal Aviation
Administration, Airport Improvement Program. Under this program, the State signed a "grant assurances"
document that requires the State to uphold ail the provisions of the grant One such provision is that we not
take or permit any action which would deprive the department of any of the rights and powers necessary to
perform any or all of the terms, conditions, and assurances in the grant agreement, it goes on to say that the
department will not transfer or dispose of our title or other interest In the property that has been committed
under the grant. Further, we are party to contracts (leases) with aviation users on the lake that DNR hasn't
authority (they don't have authority under statute to operate an aviation facility, that right falls under DOT
under AS 02 Aeronautics ).

You mentioned that DOT has few choices to maintain safety but many requirements and liabilities. While this
is true, we are trying to establish a parity and mutual respect between lake users. I believe that there are
options and attematives that may not give everyone, whether aviation or recreational, the same freedom of
actions as once they enjoyed but sufficient freedom of use that everyone will continue to be able to use and
enjoy the lake but be more cognizant of other categories of use. This is where a lake use plan comes into
effect. The attainment of success wilt be dependant on everyone working together and not at cross purposes.

I've checked with Central Region and was told that the letters were mailed December 31^1 The public notices
were distributed the same day. I've attached a copy of the draft plan. Thanks for taking the time to write me
and expressing your views. See you at the meeting.

Subject: Willow Lake meeting

Mr Stroman

I understand you are having a meeeting Jan. 8, 2008 ref. V\/jllow Lake. One of the main issues for property

owners is that you and Mr. Von scheben indicated in letters and E-mails that DOT, STILL maintains authority

to TAKE property from land owners under SAFETY OF AVIATION. Beings this is the situation. I'm

understanding that this threat exists on all properties on the Lake. The question will be asked If this threat

pertains to any properties off the Lake and specifically which ones? Could you please answer this question?

Mr. Stroman, I still maintain a request that you cease all negotiations for a Lake Plan on Willow Lake. You are

indicating to property owners that they have many choices and options to this Lake plan. If DOT Authority is

maintained under SAFETY OF AVIATION as you and Mr Von Scheben have indicated the choices DOT has

are few, and your REQUIREMENTS and LIABILITIES are many.

May I suggest, that DOT REVISIT THE POSSIBILITY of Authority of Willow Lake reverting back to DNR

UNDER QENERAL USE as this type of Authority is much more flexible, it would cure many of the obvious

problems. It definetely would be less expensive for DOT and property owners. Your leases CAN BE

MAINTAINED under DNR. Check with them, and the Feds. WE DID.

You might step back and take a look as to what is in the best interest, and best use of Willow Lake, for the

Community of Willow, and the State NOW and in the FUTURE, i believe you will see that GENERAL USE is

this BEST INTEREST of the public

Thank you for your time, and see you at the meeting.

Mike R. Holzman

P.S, I didn't receive notice from DOT for this meeting. Don't you have notice and time requirements to fulfill to
even have meetings that WILL have impact on the Public? This is exactly, one of the problems on how DOT
acquired Authority in 1964, the public process is suppose to have TRANSPARENCY.

firm will also serve other electronics manufactures and will roll out in
Connecticut, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas and Washington late this

2. SUPREME COURT DECLINES REVIEW OF SUPERFUND RULING
AGAINST CANADIAN MINING GIANT

In a closely watched case, the US Supreme Court declined to intervene
in a case involving Canadian mining giant Teck Cominco which has been
held subject to U.S. Superfund law for polluting the Columbia River in
the Pacific Northwest, Last year, a federal appeals court ruled that the
company, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, would have to pay a
share of an estimated $1 billion to dean up Lake Roosevelt, a 150-mrle
stretch of the upper Columbia River behind the Grand Coulee Dam. The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has charged that for nearly 90
years, the company's lead and zinc smelter complex 10 miles north of
the US border leached heavy metals and slag into the river. Teck
Cominco asked the justices to overturn the appeals court ruling, arguing
that US Superfund law does not apply to a Canadian company
discharging hazardous waste unless It had "arranged" for the
contamination to end up in the United States. ..Read More »

3. COURT ORDERS FORMER WASTE MANAGEMENT EXEC TO PAY
$4M FOR SECURITIES FRAUD

A federal district court judge ordered former Waste Management Inc.
chief financial officer James E. Koenig to pay $4 million after a jury found
that he committed 60 securities laws violations ovQr a frve-year period.
The final judgment, entered on Dec, 21, requires Koenig to pay more
than $4 million in disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties
and permanently bars him from acting as an officer or director of a
public company. The Securities and Exchange Commission alleged in its
complaint that from 1992 to 1997, Koenig and others engaged in a
"systematic scheme to falsify and misrepresent Waste Management's
financial results with profits being overstated by $1.7 billion." Part of
that scheme involved overstating the expected life of landfills and other
assets so that current amortization and replacement costs would appear
much lower. The jury found Koenig liable for securities fraud, falsifying
company books and records, lying to auditors and aiding and abettingthe
company's violations.. .Read More »

5. LANDFILL DEVELOPERS SEEKING $25 MILLION FROM NORTH
CAROLINA

Four waste management firms seeking to build landfills in North Carolina
have asked for nearly $25 million in compensation for the state's
decision last year to bar landfills in certain areas. As a caveat of the
more stringent regulations, lawmakers allowed companies with pending
landfill applications to recoup costs for affected projects. Waste
Industries USA is seeking $13.6 million related to costs of developing its
1,000 acre Black bear landfill In Camden County. Waste Management
and Rfegel Ridge Partners filed separate requests totaling $8.6 million for
a proposed landfill project in Columbus County. Alligator River Recycling
Is seeking $2.4 million to recoup expenses related to a its proposed
construction debris landfill in Hyde County, Since August of 2006, North
Carolina's legislature imposed a moratorium on any new landfill projects
several of which were in process, especially in the eastern parts of the
state. The fear which continues with the resent extension of the
moratorium as well as more stringent siting restrictions stems from
concern that the state might become a large importer of waste,
particularly from the Northeast... Read More »

Re: SCHEDULE -FRIDAY, 0111.08

I didn't talk to Bowles today, I mentioned in passing to Wentzel that I couldn't meet with
him in Anchorage be I was doing bethel then Juneau on friday. I said if they needed to
meet with me it would have to be sometime in Juneau.

I will not have time for any moving /pa eking activity until friday before fit time, this

week was way too busy to get any of that done- so I'll need friday to do so. Pis move

gary»s mtg- or he can talk to me on the phone some day about hismoose issues (after he's
spoken to denby or whomever - nizich maybe?)

If I weren't going to bethel I could prepare for my and the kids' move to Jtmeau - instead
I need friday for that and I'll cross my fingers that I'll be finished by the time the fit
leaves. If not- the departure time will have to be changed.

Is there another single person to consider who'd fit the role of Energy Coordinator, or is

Subject: former Governor Hickel/law school

Dear Governor Palin,

Randy Rauro and I met with former Govemor Hickel, Malcolm Roberts, Wally Hickel III, Mr. Aglieti
and Mr. Crom about their plans for The Alaska School of Law. Their concept is different from what I had
expected. It is not a result of Mr. Wickersham's interest In a law school. To the contrary, they propose a
private law school. Aglieti and his partners (including Mr. Crom) are the prime organizers of a proposal
for a law school. They have obtained the Hickel family endorsement because of their proposed three key
policy "institutes" which would promote studies of 1) Native law, 2) environmental law and 3) the common
ownership philosophy of Alaska , They envision a starting student body of 35-50. A starting faculty of 2
plus a dean for a total of three people. They say they have unsuccessfully approached the University four
years ago and were shot down because the University expected costs in excess of 40 million. They
believe that the university is too institutionally biased to support it. Aglieti has talked to Wickersham but
not to the point where they are working together.

Aglieti claims they are seeking no money, just support or at least no opposition. Their project is
premised on the assumption that the supreme court would pass a rule allowing students at a non-
accredited law school to take the bar. If we oppose this project they betieve it would kill the project

There is some ambiguity about the for profit status of the enterprise. Aglieti said they started as a for
profit law school. Then they applied to change it, however, it is not clear from his answer whether it
actually is a non-profit at this point

Randy and I are going to read their materials and meet next week to review our opinions on this.
Then we will get back to you.

If it is truly a concept for which they only seek neutrality or an endorsement then it Is quite different
from embracing a school that would cost millions. I will report back after 1 meet again with Randy.

Talis

Could there be anything more ridiculous --or tragically unaware -- than Hawker talking
about "appearance of conflicts of interest and plain common sense and decorum in office"?
These people are shameless.

Speaking of which, I see Brooke Miles is stepping down. I probably shouldn't randomly
suggest someone without clearing it first, but I'd be very sur prised if anyone knows those
laws better --or cares more about them -- than iPrivilftned or PeJ - ^^^ sure he'd be
interested, but it sure seems like a great fit for him, the agency, and the people of
Alaska.

MESSAGE;

I think it a disgrace that our state government spends money like a drunken sailor on
shore leave. The recent windfall of revenue was quickly allocated according the the
loudest voices with the teacher *s union getting the lion's share. I am thoroughly
disgusted with our state government who missed opportunities to secure a lasting source of
revenue for our state in natural gas.

The citizens of the state should share in the resources that "The People of Alaska" own.
It is "OURS" and not the states yet the state spends it as if it will never arun out.

I propose three things:

1. Privatize the University of Alaska: This will take them off the books for good and
force them to be more self sufficient. X worked there for two years in Enrollment
Services and Financial Aid and I can tell you that there is so much waste that it puts
the state government to shame.

2. Create a Permanent Fund for Government. This fund would be funded from oil and gas
revenue and the state government would be funded from the interest on the corpus. The
state government would have a permanent source of revenue after the goose that laid the
egg is finished roasting. The fund would also go on funding the government so the state
would not have to come to the people and tax them.

PRA GSP01 0009628

3. Increase the royalty paid to the citizens in the permanent fund

Hard Copy of this letter to follow

The Honorable Sarah Palin
Office of the Governor

FOB llOOOX

Juneau, AK 99811-0001

Dear Governor Palin;

HcLppy New Year ...and congratulations on your very successful first year in office!

The Alaska Outdoor Council would be honored if you and your family would consider
attending some portion of our Annual Statewide Meeting at the Millennium Hotel in
Anchorage, February 8-10,

1

PRA GSP01 0009630

The general meeting plan is to have informative presentations on Friday, February 8, and
possibly the morning of Saturday, February 9. The formal business meeting would follow on
Saturday and be finished on Sunday morning.

Our Awards Banquet is planned to start at € PM, Saturday, February 9.

We would welcome your presence at any or all of the Annual Meeting, but in recognition of
your busy schedule let me suggest some options.

We would be delighted if you would agree to be our honored speaker at the Awards Banquet.
Apart from presenting awards to recognize conservation achievements, this is a social
event .

An alternative could be attending some portion of the Friday or Saturday morning
information session or lunch. If you were able to address the delegates on issues of
mutual interest and concern it would be of great value to our delegates and other
attendees .

I recall that, as Mayor of Wasilla, you spoke at an earlier AOC Awards Banquet in Palmer.
I also recall that our guests were quite impressed with your remarks. I am sure that AOC
members and sympathizers would be very happy to hear your views now as Governor on the
various issues so important to the interests of outdoor Alaskans.

Thank you for your accomplishments and ongoing efforts to improve the management and uses
of Alaska's great outdoors.

Please contact me at 455-6151 or Executive Director Rod Amo at 376-2913 in response to
our invitation.

Sincerely,

Richard H. Bishop, President
Alaska Outdoor Council, Inc.

A Note From Charlotte

I hope you all had the opportunity to have some rest during the ho
me It was a time of both chaos and renewal, as both of our twenty
sons and the "grand doggie" came to visit. But tt was wonderful.

I had tfie distinct honor in November of enrKselng the 2007 ASAA/*
Bank Alaska All State Music Festival in Anchorage . For those of yo>
this stellar event, It is aaualiy three concerte: choral, band and ore
school students from aaoss the state In these disciplines come tog
year to study under guest conductors for three days and tiien perfi
the large communities in the state were well represented, I was pl<
students from such places as Unalaska, Delta Junction and Craig.

As I sat in the audience, I couldn't help but reflert. on the benefits *
and performing music. Besides the obvious, self esteem and confid
have proven that art and music students score better on tests and
high school graduation rate than non art and music students. Anoti
cites that they also earn higher wages. A recent Harris Interactive
that 83% of the people earning $150,000 or more per year had a r
education. So rrow we know that these students even earn more d(
lifetime!

At the other end of the spectrum, I read a recently released report
National Endowment for the Arts *To Read or Not to Read, a questi
Consequence", which revealed the dismal reading trends in Amerlc
there is good progress made in elementary school reading prograrr
progress comes to a halt for nwst teenagers. There Is a distinct cot
decline in reading among teens and adults, and there is no reason
this trwid will change. The executive summary to this report is on <

We all know there are plenty of distractions In life to Interrupt us, s
keep people reading? Here are some statistics from this study: 50*!

Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 read no books for pleasure; less than
1/3 of 13 year olds are dally readers; atxxit 35% of high school seniors now
read proficiently-

What impact does a define In reading have for us as a state? Think about it
Just like anything else, from practlcirig music to playing soccer, the less you do
something, the less well you do It. The same holds true for reading. That should
set off bells with elected officials, as those who aren't reading much are not well
Informed about Issues, nor are tiiey as Inclined to be invc^ved Hi their
communities. The executive summary of that report is on our website at
wwyf>$^.$t;?tig.ak.MV9Ksca

At the Ataska State Council on the Arts, we are doing our part to build a better
state by fostering arts and culture through arts education, supporting arts and
culture organizations and providing opportunities for artists. In tills fragmented
society, we need nrKire ^an ever our powers of concentration and reason.
Studying t^e arts and reading literature stimulates our brains )n critical ways.
Now, more than ever, Ataslcans need the ability to read and comprdiend this
complicated worid around us.

As an artist, a parent, a teacher or a citizen, it is up to every Alaskan to gh^e
young people the toots so they can team to grapple with the Increasingly
complex life we have on this planet. Providing arts education to every student,
whether as a stand alone subject or integrated Into history, math or literature,
will help our students, our communities, and our state. Please - encourage your
school district to inctude arts and culture opportunities to students. And keep

Alaska State Council on the Arts — E-Conimunique- January 08

Page 9 of 10

The Alaska contemporary Art Bank Is pleased to highlight a selected artwork
from the Art Bank's Collection. This oil painting by UAA Art Professor Garry
Kaulltz is called "Future Legacies" and was commissioned by then Governor
Knowlw to celebrate Alaska 's role In the new millennium. According to ttte
records on the piece;

The painting uses symbolism to embody Alaska 's past, present and future. The
past is represented by a pair of traditional Native dancers, the present by the oil
pipeline, and the future In the snapshots painted as though they are taped onto
the canvas. Past, present and ftiture are all set against the one thing that has
and never will change about M&sk& : It's wild beauty that serves as the
backdrop for the painting. •

Garry teaches prlntmaking and drawing at UAA, and many of his pieces feature
trompe I'oeH' (fool the eye) technique where skilled painting and drawing make
objects appear to be three-dimensk>nal or layered.
This painting was recently selected for hanging in 5udge Morse's courtroom.
Keep your eyes on television reports - you are tikdy to see this and other
selections in the background of news stories!

WINTER 20 08 ISSUE OF CITY JOURNAL

The Resilient Society
j Rudolph W, Giuliani, OpinionJoumal.com, January 9, 2008
I (This articie is adapted from the winter 2008 issue of Citv Journal )
In the first decade of the 21st century, the United States has confronted both the
deadliest attack and one of the most destructive natural disasters in the nation's
history. The term "homeland security" wasn't part of the national debate during the
2000 election. Now, after September 11 and Hurricane Katrina, every American
understands that homeland security is at the heart of a president's responsibility. .

Students Lose When Diversity Is Main Focus

Jay P, Greene & Catherine Shock, Investor's Business Daily, January 9, 2008

(This articie is adapted from the winter 2008 issue of Citv Journal and appeared on NRO Web Briefing,

01-11-08 ^

A good education requires balance. Students should learn to appreciate a variety of cultures, sure, but

they also need to know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide. Judging from the courses that the

nation's leading education colleges offer, however, balance isn't a goal. The schools place far more

emphasis on the political and social ends of education than on the fundamentals. . .

ARTICLES

Kay Hyniovtfltz, Waii Street Journai, 3anuarY 11, 2008

While Hillary Clinton attempts to storm the Oval Office, some of her less renowned sisters are busy
liberating one of the few other remaining male strongholds: the hardware store. Strange as it sounds
in a country still steeped in Tim Allen reruns, gals are becoming fix-it guys. And at least in some places
tools are replacing brass-studded leather totes as the newest female life-style accessory. The home-
improvement industry has always been a no-woman's land known for its drab aisles lined with nail bins
and mysterious steel objects whose purpose was understood only by grunting guys in flannel shirts.
Now it is going designer pink. . .

Change May Now Be Happening

John McWhorter, New York Sun, January 10, 2008

As recently as a month ago, "Obamamania" was being eulogized, with Mr. Obama dismissed as a mere

symbolic step towards a successful black candidacy in some distant era. But that era may well be now.

Immigration is Not Black and White

Tamar Jacoby, Dallas Morning News, January 7, 2008

{This article originally appeared In the Los Angeles Times, 1-2-2008 )

YouVe heard it all a dozen times. That the public is virulently anti-immigrant. That political leaders -

including President Bush and the senators from both parties who voted last summer to overhaul the

immigration system - 3re hopelessly out of touch with this angry tide. That millions of people across

the country are going to vote on the basis of their fury. . . The only problem: It isn't so. The situation

isn't nearly so black and white. . .

A Simpler Alternative to Congestion Pricing

Hope Cohen, Gotham Gazette, January 7, 2008

Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposal for "congestion pricing" - a fee imposed on driving in Manhattan's
central business district during prime hours - has made it safe at last to discuss traffic solutions that
were previously off limits. Just last week, City Halt announced a crackdown on the official placards that
allow tens of thousands of public employees to park free on the street - a topic long avoided by those
in charge. . .

NYPD's historic feat should quiet critics

Heather Mac Donald, New York Daily News, January 6, 2008

New York City just ended 2007 with the lowest number of murders - below 500 - since 1963, the last
year exact comparisons are possible. This homicide drop, from a high of 2,245 in 1990, is unmatched
anywhere in the country or in the annals of policing. It is long past time for New Yorkers to
acknowledge the debt that they owe to their police force. . .

Ahead of the Curve

Julia Vitullo-Martin, New Yori< Post, January 6, 2008

Has any other well-known architect ever had to endure as much abuse from haughty critics as Morris
Lapidus (1902-2001); designer of such hotels as the Fontainebieau in Miami and the Metropolitan (now
Doubletree) in New York?. . .

Due To Ex-spire

Julia Vitullo-Martin, New York Post, January 6, 2008

New York's historic houses of worship are under attack, with a dozen slated to be demolished this year.
While neighborhoods battle the trend, which has its roots in soaring maintenance costs and declining
church attendance, preservationists say they have no way of knowing that a house of worship is
endangered until the scaffolding rises or a public dispute erupts. . .

A Question for Hillary

Tarren Bragdon, Wali Street Journal, January 5, 2008

Sen- Hillary Clinton is running for president, in part, on a platform that calls for more government

health care. So let's ask a question that may hit a little too close to home: Why does New York spend

more on Medicaid - a health-care program for the poor - than every other state but stitl have a larger

portion of its population walking around without health insurance than states that spend far less? Last

year, New York spent $48 billion on Medicaid. That amounts to about $2,100 for every man, woman

and child. Yet 13.5% of the state's population lacks health insurance, . . Over the past decade, the

state has attempted to reduce the number of uninsured residents by expanding eligibility for

government-sponsored health care. This approach is not solving the uninsured problem. . .

A second chance for former inmates

Stephen Goldsmith and William B. Eimicke, San Diego Union Thbune, January A, 2008
Approximately 750,000 prisoners gained their freedonn in 2007, This staggering number reflects a
fourfold increase, since 1980, in the number of people incarcerated, and a twelvefold increase, in
almost that period of time, in the number of drug-related convictions, due to more vigorous
enforcement and the adoption of severe drug laws and strict sentencing. With the U.S. Sentencing
Commission's recent loosening of its guidelines, an additional 20,000 offenders convicted of selling or
possessing small amounts of cocaine are likely to be released in 2008. . .

. . .Bad books, and the bad ideas they express, are also an important factor in the cultural realm. They

shape the way we think about the world and our place in it, informing our feelings, tastes, manners,

Professor Reich Soeaks
Posted by Benjamin Zycher

Robert Reich opined this week in the Wall Street Journal about the mudfight among the Democratic
presidential candidates on the issue of whose individual "mandate" (a requirement that health
insurance be acquired) would yield the most extensive coverage. And Reich is right: The differences
are small, and the most extensive (or more stringently enforced) mandates are a way of imposing a
tax on the young and healthy so as to subsidize other purchasers of health insurance. . .

PRA GSP01 0009689

Below is my proposed response to Carl Marrs.&nbs= p; For several reasons, I have formatted
it as a letter to the editor ~ from you.

I understand that this format involves a limit = of 225 words. I think I've hit all of
the major themes, but there =? isn't much elaboration.

Privileged or Personal Material Redacted

Note to Palin: 'Earmark' means money Alaska needs

COMPASS: Points of view from the community

CARL MARKS - 01/10/2008

I = and other Alaskans have spent a lot of time trying to understand why the = Palin
administration would announce publicly that it was going to ^ drastically cut the earmarks
the state seeks from our congressional s= delegation. It makes no sense to us. By doing it
so publicly, she may have = jeopardized all other existing federal funding for Alaska.

PRA GSP01 0009690

The= Palin administration says earmarks make Alaska look bad. However, an earmark = is
nothing more than a word for special projects. And because our « infrastructure needs eons
to catch up with the rest of the nation just to « bring us into some sort of parity, we
need many special projects, =

Pal= in's cutback on eairmark requests (or special projects) will make it even = more
difficult to make things happen in Washington, D.C, and it's already very difficult
indeed. Most people in the = Lower 48 would just as soon see this state locked up in one
big park or « wildlife preserve. The last thing we need to tell Congress is: "We don't «
want your money; we have enough."

The= governor and many among our news media are painting a bleak picture of = earmarks,
suggesting they are there to be abused. Nothing could be further = from the truth.
Earmarks have been used for decades by many other senators = from many other states and
will continue to be used in the future in some « other form. It's not like Sens. Stevens
and Murkowski and Congressman = Young have invented earmarks, or the projects the funding
was going to be = used for. These projects were requested by the State of Alaska or the
residents of Alaska.

We = elected our congressional delegation to go to Washington, D.C., to fight for funding
for our state. It would seem that = Palin 's negative portrayal of the process has the
potential to harm = Alaska's stability and its future.

On = the one hand, Palin wants to tax the hell out of our biggest industries. ~ At the
same time, we need funding for infrastructure, health, education = and public safety. By
casting a shadow over all of it, she has now put so = much of what we need at risk. Surely
she doesn't think the state can pay - for everything?

I = don't know where her advice is coming from, but it reminds me of the old = fairy tale,
''The Emperor's New Clothes." If this administration keeps this « up, eventually the people
will see there is nothing there.

In - the case of Gov. Palin, most of us can agree she was a very attractive « candidate
who knew exactly how to appeal to the widest possible audience., = When you're trying to
get elected, that's a strategy that's obviously very = effective. But we're not in an
election <or are we?) . We're at the point = where the rubber meets the road. We're at the
stage where we need more = than rhetoric, more than promises, more than attacks on others.
We need = results .

Gov» . Palin, Alaska needs policymakers who have vision. Alaska needs can-do builders who
- can start a project and see it through to the finish. Gov. Palin, = Alaska needs
leadership. We want you to succeed on Alaska's behalf, but giving up on - federal funding
leaves some serious questions.

I and other Alaskans have spent a lot of time trying to xinderstand why the Palin
administration would announce publicly that it was going to drastically cut the earmarks
the state seeks from our congressional delegation. It makes no sense to us. By doing it so
publicly, she may have jeopardized all other existing federal funding for Alaska.

The Palin administration says earmarks make Alaska look bad. However, an earmark is
nothing more than a word for special projects. And because our infrastructure needs eons
to catch up with the rest of the nation just to bring us into some sort of parity, we need
many special projects.

Palin 's cutback on earmark requests (or special projects) will make it even more difficult
to make things happen in Washington, D.C., and it's already very difficult indeed. Most
people in the Lower 48 would just as soon see this state locked up in one big park or
wildlife preserve. The last thing we need to tell Congress is: "We don't want your money;
we have enough . "

The governor and many among our news media are painting a bleak picture of earmarks,
suggesting they are there to be abused. Nothing could be further from the truth. Earmarks
have been used for decades by many other senators from many other states and will continue
to be used in the future in some other form. It's not like Sens. Stevens and Murkowski and
Congressman Yoxang have invented earmarks, or the projects the funding was going to be used
for. These projects were requested by the State of Alaska or the residents of Alaska.

PRA GSP01 0009708

We elected our congressional delegation to go to Washington, D.Cr to fight for funding
for our state. It would seem that Palings negative portrayal of the process has the
potential to harm Alaskans stability and its future.

On the one hand, Palin wants to tax the hell out of our biggest industries. At the same
time, we need fvmding for infrastructure, health, education and public safety. By casting
a shadow over all of it, she has now put so much of what we need at risk. Surely she
doesn't think the state can pay for everything?

I don't know where her advice is coming from, but it reminds me of the old fairy tale,
"The Emperor's New Clothes." If this administration keeps this up, eventually the people
will see there is nothing there.

In the case of Gov. Palin, most of vis can agree she was a very attractive candidate who
knew exactly how to appeal to the widest possible audience. When you're trying to get

we need more than rhetoric, more than promises, more than attacks on others. We need

Gov. Palin, Alaska needs policymakers who have vision. Alaska needs can-do builders who

It bothers me that the Dan Pagans' of the world are hell bent on keeping us in the same

Hard Copy of this letter to follow

The Honorable Sarah Pal in
Office of the Governor
POB 110001
Juneau, AK 99811-0001

Dear Governor Pal in:

Happy New Year ,,.and congratulations on your very successful first year
in office!

The Alaska Outdoor Council would be honored if you and your family would
consider attending some portion of our Annual Statewide Meeting at the
Millennium Hotel in Anchorage, February 8-10.

The general meeting plan is to have informative presentations on Friday,
February 8, and possibly the morning of Saturday, February 9. The
formal business meeting would follow on Saturday and be finished on
Sunday morning.

Our Awards Banquet is planned to start at 6 PM, Saturday, February 9.

We would welcome your presence at any or all of the Annual Meeting, but
in recognition of your busy schedule let me suggest some options.

We would be delighted if you would agree to be our honored speaker at
the Awards Banquet. Apart from presenting awards to recognize

PRA GSP01 0009716

conservation achievements, this is a social event.

An alternative could be attending some portion of the Friday or Saturday-
morning information session or lunch. If you were able to address the
delegates on issues of mutual interest and concern it would be of great
value to our delegates and other attendees.

I recall that, as Mayor of Wasilla, you spoke at an earlier AOC Awards
Banquet in Palmer. I also recall that our guests were quite impressed
with your remarks, I am sure that AOC members and sympathizers would be
very happy to hear your views now as Governor on the various issues so
important to the interests of outdoor Alaskans.

Thank you for your accomplishments and ongoing efforts to improve the
management and uses of Alaska ' s great outdoors .

Please contact me at 455-6151 or Executive Director Rod Arno at 376-2913
in response to our invitation.

Sincerely,

Richard H. Bishop, President
Alaska Outdoor Council, Inc.

Alrighty. . . . just got off line with Lyda. She has plenty of gray area, saying she "was
told by one of the guys who co-hosted the event that he 'told all of them to come on
over'.". She then said, "it was not by me, I didn't invite her.". When I asked her to
recall which co-host, she thought about it a bit and said she really couldn't remember

I said, "oh so the Gov wasn't individually invited?". She said "I think they just said
* you guys come on over ' " .

PRA GSP01 0009720

Very vague.... and I thought there was only one co-host? Why's she saying she can't
remember?

I'm not sure here, but I'll get with Sharon and imatbe we can get mainstream media to do a
little contrast.

At very least I know Eddie Burke will pick up on it.

Hello,

I have recently relocated to Idaho to open a restaurant for The Coeur d' Alene Resort.
(Bonsai Bistro & Sushi Bar) . I have had the opportunity to work with Harbor Crown Sea
Foods and the captains of the "Deadliest Catch". We had them down here to do a dinnere/
educational weekend to give the people of this area a chance to understand the fragile
dynamics of the Alaskan crab/fish sustainability & industry. Through Keith & Florence
Colburn and Ken Dorris from Harbor Crown Seafoods, I have heard nothing but immensely
great things about you and your campaign in Alaska. I just wanted to take this opportunity
to say hi & that it would be great to see stronger sound leaders running for the
presidency such as yourself in the future. Please stop in and say hi when you are in town.

best regards.

Alrighty. . , . just got off line with Lyda. She has plenty of gray area, saying she "was
told by one of the guys who co-hosted the event that he 'told all of them to come on
over',". She then said, "it was not by me, I didn't invite her.". When I asked her to
recall which co-host, she thought about it a bit and said she really couldn't remember

I said, "oh so the Gov wasn't individually invited?". She said "I think they just said
' you guys come on over ' " .

Very vague.... and I thought there was only one co-host? Why's she saying she can't
remember?

I'm not sure here, but 1*11 get with Sharon and imatbe we can get mainstream media to do a
little contrast.

At very least I know Eddie Burke will pick up on it.

Not sure how it was presented to me as I sat with Janice and Kris to go through dozens of
requests for the next month. So many that it's easy to forget details on any of them. I'm
sure if it was a changpoint request I asked her to ask one of your staffers who attended
changpoint to assist so we'd know what they intent of the request was .

Refresher is an event held about three times a year for the women of
ChangePoint. It's. a chance to refresh, recharge with fun, humorous
entertainment combined with a positive message for them about their life in
Christ. Most, including Sandy, describe the events as "BLAST." Somewhere
between 500-700 women of all ages attend these things.

You received an invite to participate but I think since you'll be in Juneau
they want to film you (which is the talk Kate is working on) . ChangePoint
really wanted to get you on video in a humorous role first, like "a day in
the life" moments of getting . Piper ready for school at the Governor's House,
the '^mess at the mansion'^ (their terms) of everyday life, etc. That would be
followed by you delivering a brief message of hope related to women in
leadership and life.

Janice has a page and a half description of the request and I was told that
you. requested Kate's help on writing for this. Is that what happened?

TransCanada seeks to get Big Oil on board with pipeline plan

By R.A.

Published January 10, 2008
News -Miner

WASHINGTON -— The administration of Gov. Sarah Palin is betting on Canadian pipeline giant
TransCanada to deliver on the state's long-held dream of developing a pipeline to carry
North Slope natural gas to markets in the Lower 48.

Critics of the plan argue it's a nonstarter without the participation of at least one of
the three major oil companies that hold the rights to most of the 35 trillion cubic feet
of proven gas reserves stranded at the northern edge of the state.

If the major gas owners — Exxon Mobil, BP and ConocoPhillips — don't agree to ship their
gas in the pipeline, opponents say, TransCanada won't be able to finance the multibillion
project.

Tony Palmer, TransCanada' s vice president of Alaska operations, says his company has
considered a number of scenarios to make the $26 billion project a success, including
offering shippers an equity stake and the possibility of the federal government assuming a
larger role in the pipeline.

"^We think we can put forth an attractive offer to customers to entice them into taking
shipping commitments in the pipeline," Palmer said.

State officials have for years insisted that rising natural gas prices make a pipeline
project economical, and projections by TransCanada seem to support that conclusion. The
Calgary-based company estimates the three major gas owners combined would earn, on
average, a3:>out $8.3 billion a year, after taxes and royalties, .simply by sending their gas
to market through the pipeline.

"We think the project is in the money," Palmer said.

TransCanada based its estimate on a U.S. Energy Information Administration projected gas
price at the Alberta hub of $5,18 per million British thermal units in today's dollars.
The estimate assumes production costs of $1.50 per Mmbtu.

Natural gas prices at the Alberta hub closed Wednesday at $7,28 per Mmbtu.

Exxon, BP and Conoco, which hold the rights to 90 percent of the region's gas reserves,
have said they won't sign on to a pipeline project without first reaching an agreement
with the state on gas taxes. The companies want a guarantee the state won't raise gas
taxes xintil they've recovered their investment in the pipeline.

Legislators have rejected previous attempts to freeze taxes as unconstitutional.

Calls for comment to Exxon and BP officials were not returned in time for this article. A
spokeswoman for ConocoPhillips declined to comment on the TransCanada proposal.

Palmer said TransCanada would work with the gas owners to get them to participate in the
project.

Among the enticements TransCanada is proposing is a plan to offer participants in the
initial open season — the event at which gas owners can commit their gas to the pipeline
— the opportunity to take an equity position in the project. It's an appeal designed to
align the interests of TransCanada, the state and potential shippers, Palmer said,

TransCanada has also asked the U.S. Department of Energy to consider changes to the $18
billion federal loan guarantee, which Congress approved in 2004, to protect shippers
against potential cost overruns. Under the plan, any capital expense over the final cost
estimate for the pipeline would not be considered by federal regulators in setting

2'

PRA GSP01 0009769

transportation charges on the pipeline, which would protect shippers from higher than
expected tariffs.

TransCanada would be able to recoup the cost overruns through a shipping surcharge only if
gas prices were above a certain threshold.

"We're prepared to take some of the risks of the project in order to advance it," Palmer
said. '*We hope that will convince the companies to participate."

The question of whether any of the North Slope producers will agree to use the pipeline to
transport their gas to market could be answered sooner rather than later. TransCanada has

proposed holding an initial open season in 2009 — two years earlier than required by
state law.

Drue Pearce, federal coordinator for the Alaska pipeline project, said TransCanada ' s
proposal could provide the leverage necessary to convince the gas owners to participate.

"TransCanada' s plan, if they become the state's licensee and partner, will put the
producers on the spot in 2009 during the binding open season," she said.

Challenges

Andrew Halcro, a former state lawmaker who ran for governor as an independent in 2006, has
been an outspoken critic of Palin and her efforts to get a gas pipeline built.

Halcro believes the TransCanada proposal should have been disqualified because, in his
view, it failed to comply with the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, or AGIA, the law that
set out the state's criteria for qualified projects.

As an example, Halcro points to a provision in the application that states TransCanada may
seek to establish a "mechanism through which the U.S. government would assume some or all
of the initial risk of the project by acting as a bridge shipper."

"The way it's worded in TransCanada ' s proposal is that there are additional requirements
that fall outside the scope of AGIA and should have disqualified it," Halcro said,

Joe Balash, special assistant on oil and gas issues to the governor, brushed aside
Halcro' s criticism, saying the onetime lawmaker failed to review the full application.

"All he did was read the executive summary," Balash said. "If you go through the meat of
the application, it's very clear that they have met the requirements of AGIA, without any
qualifications or conditions."

The administration asked applicants to provide alternatives in case the project ran into
roadblocks. TransCanada provided them, Balash said.

"They had clearly put a lot of thought into the various contingencies and scenarios that
might unfold here," he said. "We now have an opportunity to go in and determine whether we
like their plan."

Most importantly, Balash said, TransCanada is committed to pursuing pipeline certification
by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, regardless of whether an open season
is successful.

Wild card

As for the possibility that Congress might need to use the muscle of the federal treasury
to advance the pipeline, Balash called it "intriguing" but said the application did not
provide many details. He said the administration would delve deeper into the issue as the
evaluation proceeds.

Palmer said the idea of Congress acting as a "bridge- shipper" would only happen if the gas
owners failed to bid for pipeline capacity during the open season. Under such a scenario.
Congress would cover the pipeline's transportation fees until shippers agreed to send
their gas through the pipeline.

PRA GSP01 0009770

**It is a way to ensure that the process would proceed," Palmer said.

Halcro said he doesn't believe the U.S. government would agree to assume the risk of the
shipping commitments.

**I can't imagine a Democratically led Congress backstopping Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips,
BP and a Canadian pipeline company, " he said. "Especially while Alaska has $40 billion in
the bank . "

Aides to Alas)ca Republicans Rep, Don Young and Sens. Ted Stevens and Lisa Murkowski said
the delegation is committed to helping advance a pipeline project, but they declined to
comment specifically on the TransCanada proposal until it has officially been selected by
the state.

FERC would follow the direction of whatever statutes Congress decides to adopt, a
spokeswoman for the commission said.

Congressional aides said it would be unprecedented in recent history for the federal
government to act as a backstop for a massive infrastructure project.

Congress made similar public investments in infrastructure projects during World War II,
but its focus over the past 60 years has been on promoting private enterprise.

Aides point to the stalled FutureGen project, a public -private partnership to develop
clean- coal technology that has been plagued with cost overruns, as an example of federal
government's lack of appetite for investing in massive projects.

Congress also balked at efforts in 2003 to set a $2 floor for national natural gas prices
for the Alaska project.

There's also concern among some members of Congress that the state is engaged in a game of
chicken with the producers that could end up being dragged through the courts for years,
aides said.

The state has long told Congress to stay out of its way on the pipeline, and now it could
be in for a rude reception if it comes hat-in-hand asking for help, aides said,

Pearce remains optimistic that Congress will support the state when the time comes.

"Since leaders in both parties believe the commercialization of Alaska's North Slope gas
is vital to our economic security, the support of D.C. is likely to continue," she said.
'''If the state and TransCanada are forced to come to D.C. to request additional federal
assistance. Congress and the new administration will look at the situation at that time.

""The playing field may well look much different than it looks today."

State officials point out that the gas owners are bound, under the terms of their leases,
by a duty to produce when it is economically feasible. The Palin administration believes
that comes once a project reaches open season. Gas owners that fail to participate could
face state revocation of their leases, Balash said.

The state is already in the process of stripping the massive Point Thomson unit, which
holds a third of the area's proven reserves, from operator Exxon.

Amazing. And Neanderthal. Does he believe Sen Stevens is wrong, then, in warning us not to
be so reliant? If you have a second to jot a response, please do so iwe have it in my
back pocket. This could be a good venue to prove my support/agreement with Sen Stevens*
and Rep Young's message and mission to get us off the Fed dole to a greater degree - we

Brave Partisan

Phyllis Chesler, City Journal Online, January 9, 2008
(Review of Full Qrcle: A Memoir, by Edith Kurzweil)

Edith Kurzweil has lived many lives and prevailed against tremendous odds. As an Austrian 3ew, she
was not meant to live at all; as a first-generation immigrant In America, she wasn't expected to
succeed; as a woman, who was also a 1950s-styte wife and mother, she was not supposed to become
a scholar in her own right. But Kurzweil refused to identify herself as a victim, choosing instead to view
adversity dis a useM challenge. She e^rne^ a Ph.D, in sociology, became a professor, and published a
number of thoughtful books including The Freudians: A Comparative Perspective, The Age of
Structuralism, and Nazi Laws and Jewish Lives: Letters from Vienna, She also married three times, the
final time to William Phillips, the founder of Partisan Review. Kurzweil served as executive editor of this
highly influential magazine from the late 1970s until its demise in 2003. . .

Obama and Behavioral Economics

Posted by Ted Frank

Professor Bainbridoe writes on the extensive publicity and blogosphere commentary relating to Senator

Obama's supposed adoption of behavioral economics in policy-making. Behavioral economics makes

claims that human irrationality leads to market failures. While it is questionable that Obama's proposed

policies really do account for this new field of economics, it is in any event worth noting Josh Wright's

paper asking if there's anything to the behaviorial economics claims in the first place, , .

Subject: Carl Marrs/Congressional Earmarks - CONFIDENTIAL

I thought that you would want to see the ADN Compass piece below in which Carl
Marrs directly attacks the administration's decision to reduce the number of funding
earmarks that we request from Congress.

Privileged or Personal Material Redacted

Note to Palin: 'Earmark' means money Alaska needs

COMPASS: Points of view from ttie community

By CARL MARRS
(01/10/08 00:46:57)

I and other Alaskans have spent a lot of time trying to understand why the Palin administration
would announce publicly that it was going to drastically cut the earmarks the state seeks from our
congressional delegation. It makes no sense to us. By doing it so publicly, she may have
jeopardized all other existing federal funding for Alaska.

The Palin administration says earmarks make Alaska look bad. However, an earmark Is nothing
more than a word for special projects. And because our infrastructure needs eons to catch up with
the rest of the nation just to bring us into some sort of parity, we need many special projects.

Palin's cutback on earmark requests (or special projects) will make it even more difficult to make
things happen in Washington, D.C., and it's already very difficult indeed. Most people in the Lower
48 would just as soon see this state locked up in one big park or wildlife preserve. The last thing
we need to tell Congress Is: "We don't want your money; we have enough."

The governor and many among our news media are painting a bleak picture of earmarks,
suggesting they are there to be abused. Nothing could be further from the truth. Earmarks have
been used for decades by many other senators from many other states and will continue to be
used in the future In some other form. It's not like Sens. Stevens and Murkowski and
Congressman Young have invented earmarks, or the projects the funding was going to be used
for. These projects were requested by the State of Alaska or the residents of Alaska.

We elected our congressional delegation to go to Washington, D.C., to fight for funding for our

state. It would seem that Palm's negative portrayal of the process has the potential to harm
Alaska's stability and its future.

On the one hand, Palln wants to tax the hell out of our biggest industries. At the same time, we
need funding for infrastructure, health, education and public safety. By casting a shadow over all
of it, she has now put so much of what we need at risk. Surely she doesn't think the state can pay
for everything?

I don't know where her advice is coming from, but it reminds me of the old fairy tale, "The
Emperor's New Clothes." If this administration keeps this up, eventually the people will see there
Is nothing there.

In the case of Gov, Palin, most of us can agree she was a very attractive candidate who knew
exactly how to appeal to the widest possible audience. When you're trying to get elected, that's a
strategy that's obviously very effective. But we're not in an election (or are we?). We're at the
point where the rubber meets the road. We're at the stage where we need more than rhetoric,
more than promises, more than attacks on others. We need results.

Gov. Palin, Alaska needs policymakers who have vision. Alaska needs can-do builders who can
start a project and see it through to the finish. Gov. Palin, Alaska needs leadership. We want you
to succeed on Alaska's behalf, but giving up on federal funding leaves some serious questions.

Quinn just so happens to have a phone interview with Lyda this morning and plans on asking
who provided the "verbal invitation" because neither the governor, her employees, or

Let him know Portia should be answering some of these questions too, , .he said heM fill me

Alrighty. . . . just got off line with Lyda, She has plenty of gray area, saying she "was
told by one of the guys who co-hosted the event that he *told all of them to come on
over*.". She then said, "it was not by me, I didn't invite her.". When I asked her to
recall which co-host, she thought about it a bit and said she really couldn't remember

I said, "oh so the Gov wasn't individually invited?". She said "I think they just said
' you guys come on over

? n

Very vague.... and I thought there was only one co-host? Why's she saying she can't
remember?

I'm not sure here, but I'll get with Sharon and imatbe we can get mainstream media to do a

To Whom It May Concern,

It is without reservation ihat I recommend Elle Fuller to you. I have known Elle nearly
all of her life. She has continually shown good character, kindness, wisdom, and discernment
in all tihese years I have been blessed to know her. Elle has been a friend to my own children
and is a role model for many young people in our community.

I was honored to have served our community as a city council member and city mayor,
and there have been many times that I wished the city was filled with more citizens like Elle
Fuller. She has been community-minded and very involved in so many activities and positive
programs that help her fellow citizens. From participating in healthy athletic competitions, to
providing services to younger kids and our esteemed elders in Wasilla, to her involvement in
civic opporttmities such as helping my campaigns, as well as her father's campaign for city
council member by waving signs and knocking on doors, many residents have called upon
Elle to lend a hand. Even as a child EUe accompanied me at city council meetings and other
community events. She always comes through and puts forth 100 percent effort when asked
to assist on any project.

EUe's academic achievements are testimony to her diligence and right priorities. So is
her commitment to her family. Elle is a great "big sister" to her siblings, and I've trusted my
own younger children in her care many times, as I know her to be a responsible and caring
person.

It has been my pleasure to watch Elle grow to be the remarkable young woman she is.
Without doubt she will be successful in all her future endeavors. As Alaska's Governor, I am
proud to recommend Elle Fuller to you.

Sincerely,

Sarah Palin
Governor

Re:

Thanks. I think the first thing to do is circle the numerically stated fact assertions in
her draft that she just sent, then look back at the email trails to see if we're missing
info on any.

then, in light of the email trail and what we know, see if we can come up with one liners
that accurately state the facts for her. (The specific areas. off the top of my head are
education, transportation, and DPS brown shirt counts.) I will get an education blurb
written since I'm familiar with the ins and outs of those numbers. If you coulcl do the
brown shirt numbers and get a piece written for that one based on Kris Perry's email, that
would be helpful. For the other fact assertions let's talk tonight (or communicate by
email) and nail those down.

I think we focus on the governor ' s accuracy for this next draft before we pare back any
more for her. I'd like us to shoot to have something back to her Saturday afternoon or
evening- -just one draft that we each sign off on as being as accurate as we know it so she
doesn't have to compare a draft fr me and one from you. Look forward to talking with you.

her again on the education numbers so I have a sense for what she wants, Kris, i think is
still getting brown shirt numbers,) The governor is currently editing a draft on her

Subject: Nikolski Fuel Crisis Update - January 11th, 2008

Dear All,

Nikolski placed a fuel order in July and has yet to receive the

PRA GSP01 0009819

delivery. The lack of fuel has stopped community projects, threatened
property and the health of community members, and created an economic
emergency due to the use of dedicated monies to charter in small amounts
of very expensive fuel. To date, the Nikolski IRA has incurred over
$48,000 of expenses in drums of fuel and a total of 8 air and marine
charters. As of the last update, the barge was circling near Nikolski,
awaiting a weather break.

We are sorry to report that the situation in Nikolski has only worsened.
The barge left Nikolski without delivering fuel on Tuesday night,
reportedly due to weather. The barge will service Cold Bay and
Perryville before returning to fuel Nikolski. The earliest possible
delivery would be January 18th but likely later due to forecasted
weather. An additional problem are the undelivered heavy equipment
repair parts that were on the barge, leaving air service unsecured as
the runway cannot be properly cleared.

The community will need more fuel before the new delivery date estimate,
as a number of homes are out of heating oil and the power plant is using
more fuel than recently as homes are being heated with electric heaters.
APIA is currently working with Nikolski to arrange another small boat
delivery of between 17 and 24 drums. APIA will meet with Delta Western
this afternoon to plan for the interim response.

Please note, the financial situation for Nikolski has not been resolved,
and there are no new funding sources to provide emergency fuel to the
village. The cost of the boat charter and fuel is about $10,000.
Nikolski Tribal Government has exhausted their available operations
funds and is now spending out the funds needed to support the staff of
local government for 2008.

We will be looking for the assistance of state, federal, and private
entities to help respond to this crisis. Thank you for your attention
to this matter.

MAT-SU KING HOLIDAY EVENT PREMIERS INDIE FILMS, YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP, BAZAAR

The Mat-Su premier of two extraordinary films takes place at the upcoming community event
celebrating Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a national icon of non-violent protest and
the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.

Premiered last June in Anchorage, Anchorage Is Our Home is a film that reveals a
community's struggle to embrace diversity. ''Wherever we live is our home and we share our
home with different kinds of people. It seems we're still learning how to celebrate
differences meaningfully, with respect," says Mollie Boyer, one of the film's producers
and a Valley resident.

Boyer, Erick Cordero, and Marie Husa interviewed youths and adults from diverse
ethnicities and cultural traditions. The trio produced the film as members of Alaska
Humanities Forum' s Leadership Anchorage Program in partnership with Healing Racism in
Anchorage, an organization that provides classes to help understand and interrupt the
cycle of racism.

PRA GSP01 0009822

The awarded short film Silences by Octavio Warock-Graham is a memoir about growing up
biracial in a small, all-white Eastern town. **This film is so powerful. Octavio asks
really hard questions of his white mother, grandmother, and others, including his black
father, who he meets for the first time as an adult," says Kim-Marie Walker, a Valley
resident. Walker viewed Silences at a Chicago conference for transracial adoption and
Americans who identify as biracial or multiracial .

This year's theme, A New Generation for a New Day, is aimed at Valley youth. Scholarship
applications, fxmded by the Mat-Su MLK Jr. Foundation, will be available for high school
seniors going to college in the fall. Other highlights include a day-long program of
speakers, entertainers, and like last year, a King Holiday Bazaar featuring craft and
business vendors .

The 6th annual Mat-Su King Holiday event is free and open to the public: Monday, January
21, 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., at the Wasilla Multi-Ose Sports Complex, 1001 S. Mack Drive.
Interested vendors and performers can still sign-up. For more information call 376-1566 or

Subject: Tribute to Dr. Keon Chi

To: CSG Members and Friends

From: Dan Sprague, CSG Executive Director

As you may have heard, our beloved Dr. Keon Chi died in a
tragic traffic accident Wednesday evening Jan. 9. Funeral services
will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 13 at Georgetown College, John L
Hill Chapel, in Georgetown, Ky.

Keon was a nationally renowned and esteemed state
government expert. He was CSG's editor-in-chief of The Book of the
States, the premier annual reference book on American state
government, and more recently became the Director of CSG*s nascent
Center for State Governance Transformation,

As I said to my staff and colleagues on Thursday morning, we
have lost an incredibly gifted and truly treasured human being. This
is a devastating loss for all who know Keon.

In addition to his seminal work with CSG since 1981, including
authorship of more than 100 journal articles, monographs, book
chapters and columns on cutting-edge issues, Keon also served on
the editorial and review boards of Public Administration Review ^ State
and Local Government Review, American Journal of Public
Administration and ASPA's Public Integrity Journal. He also served on
the Kennedy School's Innovation Panel at Harvard University.

Keon was a professor and academic dean at Georgetown

10/29/2009

Page 2 of 2

College, where he taught government and political science for
36 years mentoring and inspiring literally thousands of college
students. He held masters' and doctoral degrees in government from
Claremont Graduate University in California.

Due to his national reputation, Keon was often invited to speak
to state legislative committees, national organizations, and frequently
was a spokesperson with the American Political Science Association,
the American Society of Public Administration, and the Worid Future
Society,

Keon is survived by his wife In Soon, his two sons Ron and John
and their families, including three grandchildren.

I am in conversations with CSG*s current and past leaders and
staff, along with the Chi family, about how CSG plans to acknowledge
Keon's extraordinary contributions tied to our future service to
states. We will be sharing our memorial plans with you in the near
future, we hope you can be a part of this commemoration of our
dearest friend and colleague.

ISER Research Matters No. 27. Understanding Alaska's Remote Rural Economy
January 11,2008

A new ISER publication describes an economy unlike that anyplace else in the United States: the
economy of the vast remote region of northern and western Alaska. At 395,000 square miles, the remote
rural region is large enough to hold Japan, Germany, and Great Britain. Yet only about 60,000 people live
there, and most households keep themselves going with a mix of cash, subsistence, sharing, and non-
cash trading. That's a woiid away from the state's urban economy, and under standard measures like
income the remote rural economy lags far behind.

Over the years there have been many efforts to improve that economy. But the new paper by ISER
economist Scott Goldsmith argues that standard measures can't capture ait the economic activity in a
region where subsistence and non-cash trading play such important parts. Also, there are many gaps in
the available data. This new paper offers the most comprehensive picture possible, based on available
data—and at the same time identifies other information that could improve the picture and make
economic development efforts more effective.

Most of the state's natural resource wealth is produced in remote rural areas— about $17 billion
worth in 2006 — but more than 90% of that wealth bypasses the remote economy. It is government
that directly or indirectly accounts for almost all (perhaps as much as 90%) of the income of
regional residents. Local benefits from resource production— through local resource taxes, jobs,

and activities of Alaska Native regional corporations— are concentrated in a few areas.

A big share of the money that does come into the remote rural economy quickly leaks out again,
because so many of thje workers (an estimated

40%) are non-locals who spend their paychecks elsewhere, and because residents and local
businesses buy many things outside the region. Of the estimated $2.35 billion that entered the
remote rural economy as a result of natural resource production and govemment spending in

2006, about $1 billion quickly leaked out to other areas.

Official employment figures underestimate the time residents of remote areas spend working,
because they can't take into account time spent in subsistence activities and the informal
economy. If such time could be included, employment would be larger than published data show

and would have a more complex seasonal pattern.

Thousands of young people in remote areas will soon reach working age, and that growth in the

labor force, combined with the constraints on the types of cash jobs the economy can support, will

10/29/2009

PRA GSP01 0009831

Page 2 of 2

create special challenges for residents. To find jobs, many will need to get specialized training, comnnute to
jobs, or move to areas with more jobs.
• There are opportunities for economic growth in remote areas. But importing goods and services will
continue to be expensive, and future government spending will be constrained. Cash will continue to be
scarce, and subsistence and informal economic activities will continue to be extremely valuable.

No more Fagan for me until his attitude improves and he gives us what we came to love

One last question for Fagan. Where was your big flippin' flopping flappin* mouth when

Brown Shirts: Current 96 positions authorized: 87 are working, and 9

asked for 3 more AWT trooper positions, the long term strategic goal is
to reach 120 AWT troopers which would restore the Division to the 1985
timeframe level.

Labor: 2007 unemployment rate: 6.1 percent (or an employment rate of
96.9%). 6.7 percent in 2006. Forecast for 2008 is 2,000 jobs / 0.6% (down
from 3,500 in 2007, 1.1%). For 20 consecutive years Alaska's job count
has grown. It's the longest uninterrupted stretch of growth since
statehood and one that only seven other states can match. 2007 was a
strong year for the oil and gas industry, which added 1,200 annualized
jobs.

Suicide: Alaska has consistently ranked either #1 or #2 in the nation
with our suicide rate. Last available nationwide data ranked us top at
23.6%.

Subject: my son Robert

Sarah and Todd,

Just so you know, I was in Juneau and noticed an entry level opening in the gov's office
as a press assistant (Lauren's old job I assume.) Anyway, I told my son Robert about it
since his job at CITC ended with the grant funding and he is still very determined to make
his way in this career path. He is very excited about this opening, and of course, he
doesn't think he stands a chance of getting it. I've encouraged him to apply.

He will apply and I hope he will get fair consideration even though he lives in Anchorage;
he would move to JiHieau if he was selected. No special favors at all, I would just ask
that he not be overlooked because of his Anchorage address or because I am part of your
administration (which could work against him.)

Thanks in advance for being tolerant of my over protectiveness; it is my weakness.

Take Care, tj .

Governor ,

It took over five hours, but we managed to drop nearly 600 words, from 3,065 to the
attached draft at 2,470! We also tried to clarify and improve flow. To tighten, we had
to edit your words, hopefully we didn't lose many of your favorite turns of phrase. We
embedded some comments to explain some thought processes, but toward the end just forged
forward in the interest of time.

We also confirmed all but one figure, noted in a comment. Sean will see to that one.

Anyway, indulge us by opening the "clean" version first? The markup is also attached, for
rejecting changes you dislike. Let us know if there is anything else you need.

Governor,

It took over five hours, but we managed to drop nearly 600 words, from 3,065 to the
attached draft at 2,470! We also tried to clarify and improve flow. To tighten, we had
to edit your words, hopefully we didn't lose many of your favorite turns of phrase. We
embedded some comments to explain some thought processes, but toward the end just forged
forward in the interest of time.

We also confirmed all but one figure, noted in a comment. Sean will see to that one.

Anyway, indulge us by opening the "clean" version first? The markup is also attached, for
rejecting changes you dislike. Let us know if there is anything else you need.

Subject: RE: Educ figures

Governor,

This may sound confusing, so hang in there with me - We have a 1) drop
out rate and we have an 2) on-time graduation rate.

The FY07 drop out rate in grades 7-12 was 5.47% (3,434 kids)
The FY06 drop out rate in grades 7-12 was 5.8% (3,642 kids)
The FY05 drop out rate in grades 7-12 was 6.0% (3,791 kids)

So, Alaska's drop out rate is decreasing, slowly. Drop outs could be
kids who leave school to get a GED, leave the public school system
altogether, or are pulled out of school to be homeschooled,
independently at honie, not associated with any public or private school.
We are losing too many kids annually.

The Alaska on-time graduation rate is calculated by looking at the kids
who enter High School in 9th grade and graduate 4 years later, on-time.

The FY07 on-time graduation rate was 62.95%
The FY06 on-time graduation rate was 61.59%
The FY05 on-time graduation rate was 61.35%

So, Alaska's on-time graduation rate is increasing, slightly. The
national on-time graduation rate is around 72%.

I hope tills helps - if it doesn't, or you need more information, please
let me know. Thanks! BAT

You've done this before with your staff, but you're going to want to watch your time so you
know when you have to turn a draft into Beth (or someone else) so you get it on the teleprompter
and so she 1ms time to to clean it up for distribution. The trick will be to give your staff plenty of
time to clean up the "&" "w/" "applause" and other shordiand typing in the speech, but not
enough time so they inundate you with changes. Don't know if you'll do it this time or not but
often the governor's staff will distribute a copy of the speech as youVe going into the chambers or
just ahead of that moment

Is the PA'S application made public, along with it's supplement? I assumed it was- hope
it is- the adn made it sound like it wasn't, per whitaker's comment.

The public may comment on all five proposals, nothing stops that, but of course the

They said they were so surprised- (so I'm glad ktum runs my quote for presser where we

TOLD them we*d look, but not consider under AGIA ahd they SAID in their proposal they knew

it wouldn't be considered under AGIA.)

They're in a box, they say- not quite knowing what i to do. They said I put myself in a box,
too, though. I said- in terms of "negotiating with; you, YOU put me in a box", as we had to
go forth w AGIA since (and Marty kept reminding th^m of this) they were non- responsive for
five months re: what their terms were. Instead of continuing to guess, we would tell them
and everyone else what our terms were, and the process was good and successful. Even
yesterday they still wouldn't tell us what they wotild have needed to get a deal- it's way
more than 25 yrs gas certainty... and it hinted at; them having to ask for whatever
exxon/bp was ultimately wanting (control, arbitration changes, etc) . It was a good mtg-
not so impressed with Wentzel, but I like Bowles (j like Mulva even more), though I'm
getting impatient with his talking 'round and 'rouajid about the same issues we've discussed
for over a year now,

i

I told them I personally thought it futile for them to go to leggies and try to change
process/plans. They admitted as much, but also admitted they don't know what else to do.
We said we need (and needed all along) to know what they wanted... and that we hoped
they'd work with TG, and of course to committ their gas. They said we were forcing them to
just go back to hook up w/Exx and BP. ^

Governor,

It took over five hours, but we managed to drop nearly 600 words, from 3,065 to the attached draft at
2,470! We also tried to clarify and improve flow. To tighten, we had to edit your words, hopefully we
didn*t lose many of your favorite turns of phrase. We embedded some comments to explain some
thought processes, but toward the en6 just forged forward in the interest of time.

We also confirmed all but one figure, noted in a comment Sean will see to that one.

Anyway, indulge us by opening the "clean" version first? The markup is also attached, for rejecting
changes you dislike. Let us know if there is anything else you need.

Good news!! I did a comfortably paced read through (yes, out loud) and came out at 18 minutes, even with the
pause for our troops and at a few applause line junctures.

We have a little bit of work to do on some missing words and a few minor grammar issues (Fll wait to see what
you send back before fixing anything.)

All in all. the read-through demonstrated you have a strong, clear and mechanically well-tuned speech. I like it
very much!!

You just about have to read It through all the way once without stopping to fully appreciate it. I've been so caught
up in stopping at different sections that I didn't fully appreciate the whole-very nice product from a great working
team. I'm thankful to be part of it with both you and Bruce.

Ma'am -

We look forward to your trip down for graduation next week. The FT Benning Protocol office is
spinning up as it not often the son of an elected official graduates from "grunt" school. Protocol
people are the ones that handle making proper arrangements to ensure we Army folk don't make
ourselves look stupid, kind of like Ms Manners-types. Ldidn^t know they existed until the other
day. I'm sure over the next few days there will be more questions, but I figured I would use our
direct line of communication to try and get a few of the ones I have now answered. Otherwise,
Track will be calling 2-3 times a day as these questions come rolling in.

Protocol welcomes your family to stay in one of the Distinguished Visitor quarters on FT
Benning, it's called the Marshall House, named after GEN George Marshall. I believe there is 3-
4 bedrooms. Unless you are partial to your current lodging plans, I'd recommend it, I hear it's
nice. It's the same type of housing that our high ranking officers live in while stationed here.
Second, protocol mentioned getting you a car pass that will allow you to come and go through
the gates without going through the standard identification and search procedures. And the last
question is are you flying into Atlanta or Columbus?

If you have someone on your staff that handles these things for you, I can pass that person's
name and contact information along and Protocol can work mth them directly if you'd prefer.

One final note, our Family Day brief and Turning Blue ceremony on Thursday is being pushed
back. Family Brief is going to be held at 12:00 and Turning Blue at 1 :00pm.

spinning up as it not often the son of an elected official graduates from "grunt" school. Protocol people
are the ones that handle making proper arrangements to ensure we Army folk don't make ourselves look
stupid, kind of like Ms Manners-types. I didn*t know they existed until yesterday. I'm sure over the next
few days there will be more questions, but I figured I would use our direct line of communication to try
and get a few of the ones I have now answered. Otherwise, Track will be calling 2-3 times a day as
these questions come roUing in.

Protocol welcomes your family to stay in one of the Distinguished Visitor quarters on FT Benning, ifs
called the Marshall House, named after GEN George Marshall. Unless you are partial to your current
lodging plans, I'd recommend it, I hear it's nice. It's the same type of housing that our high ranking
officers live in while stationed here. Second, protocol mentioned something about a car service. Tm not
sure if that means you'd just get a car, or they would have someone drive you around. Let me know if
you are interested, at the very least, it will make parking easier. And the last question is are you flying
into Atlanta or Columbus?

If Mrs. Palin has someone on her staff that handles these things for you, I can pass that person's name
and contact information along and Protocol can work with them directly if you'd prefer.

One final note, our Family Day brief and Turning Blue ceremony on Thursday is being pushed back.
Family Brief is going to be held at 12:00 and Tuming Blue at 1 :00pm.

Respectfully,

Ma'am -

We look forward to your trip down for graduation next week. The FT Benning Protocol
office is spinning up as it not often the son of an elected official graduates from
"grunt" school. Protocol people are the ones that handle making proper arrangements to
ensure we Army folk don't make ourselves look stupid, kind of like Ms Manners- types. I
didn't know they existed until the other day. I'm sure over the next few days there will
be more questions, but I figured I would use our direct line of communication to try and
get a few of the ones I have now answered. Otherwise, Track will be calling 2-3 times a
day as these questions come rolling in.

Protocol welcomes your family to stay in one of the Distinguished Visitor quarters on FT
Benning, it's called the Marshall House, named after GEN George Marshall. I believe there
is 3-4 bedrooms. Unless you are partial to your current lodging plans, I'd recommend it,
I hear it's nice. It's the same type of housing that our high ranking officers live in
while stationed here. Second, protocol mentioned getting you a car pass that will allow
you to come and go through the gates without going through the standard identification and
search procedures . And the last question is are you flying into Atlanta or Columbus?

If you have someone on your staff that handles these things for you, I can pass that
person's name and contact information along and Protocol can work with them directly if
you'd prefer.

One final note, our Family Day brief and Turning Blue ceremony on Thursday is being pushed

Hi beth- this will have to be loaded on teleprompter soon so I can go over it tomorrow. ^ It
still needs final reviews- the content is all in there based on two weeks of reviews and
thousands of edits to pare it down to a reasonable time limit, but minor tweaks must still
take place then formatted for telepromter, plus formatted for distribution after the
speech (so symbols and grammer short cuts have to be edited for that forum of
distribution). Thanks!

Subject: Fwd: Complaints came in; abuse went on

Hello and FYI,

Enclosed is a link to the Anchorage Daily News article regarding the lawsuit filed by two very
young men; they endured sickening foster care and the death of another child in the foster care
home with them. May God have mercy. The young men are now suing for 1 million dollars,
their lives are permanently damaged, and I hope that finances ease their burdens and futures into
adulthood life. I was a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) and I was terminated from
my volunteer position, after I wrote a letter to inform the Governor, and explain to her, the abuse
I witnessed of a tiny-toddler in CCS foster care, and the lack of action; the 18th month young
child, was hit with a dish-rag, shaken, and threatened to be, " locked-away and put-away." No
one, to date, has done much. I was faced with a "pull- up-the-draw-bridges" reaction, which
included my suspension & termination (vrtthout interviewing me), lack of OCS making a sincere
and timely investigation , allowing the children to remain in the foster home at all times, an
intake report which was inaccurately / falsely documented, a police investigation thwarted by
OCS (" we will take care of it") a Pediatricimi^s statement to OCS, a month before my report,
wherein the Physician clearly states, " to remove the children from the foster-care home, no child
should be in that foster home," the doctor's warning and words were never heeded. The litany
truly goes on... I witnessed this abuse on September 10, 2007. After writing to the Governor, I
was told by OCS and OPA not to have contact with the boys while they investigated, as a CASA,
I was literally silenced. I have been passed from one individual to another, I have been slandered
by personal derogatory commentary made about me by OCS workers, the foster mother has been
protected, and my allegations were determined," unsubstantiated " (even though my husband also
stepped-up to the door and saw the shaking;' and other witnesses have seen bruises/ laceration
damage & inappropriate verbal commentary to the child by the foster mother). I can not
fathom ... why... I do not understand, in this day and age, why children still suffer at the hands of
" the system," and adults behave as they do. I do not understand how grown adults can have
more concern for their job / pay check, than to take appropriate action and to do the right thing. I
can not understand, " throwing a whistle-blower under the bus," or pulling-up the draw-bridges
on the truth. I learned enough from VECO to record my findings.
Children's health,safety and lives are the issue here; not files, covering malfeasance within
organizations,lies, disingenuous reports,egos,holiday time-off ,paychecks,passing-the-
buck,shutting-out,shutting-down, or swaying the Judges. I have witnessed, experienced,seen with
my own eyes. ...a tiny child being hurt, abused,assaulted....and no one, NO ONE, has stepped-up

to the plate to safely place the child and his infant brother out of harms way ( even though their Native
American grandmother desperately wants them). Today's news covers the story of the beautiful child
who died, and the money which others now seek. If you can do anything, to stop the silence and
condoning of our society's treatment of children, please do so. Why does the heartless, crime-
filled, unnecessary story still continue for yet more children?

STATE CUSTODY: Witness lists string of reports of harm.

By LISA DEMER, ldemer@adn.com

Published: 01/12/08 00:25:19

From the time the boy was 6 months old, the state heard allegations that he was being neglected
or worse. But workers at the old Division of Family and Youth Services mishandled almost
every report that came in regarding the young child, and there were many.

Some they didn't investigate at all.

Those are the findings of a consultant who testified Friday on behalf of two former foster
brothers, A.J, and D.D.

Ma ' am -

We look forward to your trip down for graduation next week. The FT Benning Protocol
office is spinning up as it not often the son of an elected official graduates from
"grunt" school. Protocol people are the ones that handle making proper arrangements to
ensure we Army folk don't make ourselves look stupid, kind of like Ms Manners- types. I
didn't know they existed until the other day. I'm sure over the next few days there will
be more questions, but I figured I would use our direct line of communication to try and
get a few of the ones I have now answered. Otherwise, Track will be calling 2-3 times a
day as these questions come rolling in.

PRA_GSP01_0009957

Protocol welcomes your family to stay in one of the Distinguished Visitor quarters on FT
Benning, it's called the Marshall House, named after GEN George Marshall, I believe there
is 3-4 bedrooms. Unless you are partial to your current lodging plans, I'd recommend it,
I hear it's nice. It's the same type of housing that our high ranking officers live in
while stationed here. Second, protocol mentioned getting you a car pass that will allow
you to come and go through the gates without going through the standard identification and
search procedures. And the last question is are you flying into Atlanta or Columbus?

If you have someone on your staff that handles these things for you, I can pass that
person's name and contact information along and Protocol can work with them directly if
you'd prefer.

One final note, our Family Day brief and Turning Blue ceremony on Thursday is being pushed
back. Family Brief is going to be held at 12:00 and Turning Blue at 1:00pm.

Disregard what I said about the car service. What they can do is get you a special pass
so your vehicle can go through checkpoints like a military vehicle and bypass the extra
security measures for non-military stickered vehicles.

get definitive info, Paula said that it is difficult to say as it can be interpreted
differently based on source (?) .

However, according to ASMI ' s website, fishing/seafood is largest. According to ATlA's
site, tourism is third (however I've also seen where it is referenced as 2nd), I've been
trying to find out what would then be third, oil & gas?

National Research Project to Accelerate Growth of

Businesses Owned by Women of Color

to Hold Forum in Chicago

Washington, DC - Chicago has been selected as the final of five cities for a national research
study to identify obstacles to business growth faced by women business owners of color. The
day-long research forum, to be held January 23rd, will be conducted by the Center for
Women's Business Research and Babson College. The objective is to identify the barriers
and challenges that women of color face in the pursuit of business growth and to create
individual, community, and ultimately, national action plans to overcome those barriers. The
research will culminate in a 2008 national conference where public- and private-sector policy
recommendations generated by the research will be announced.

Women entrepreneurs who are African-American, Asian, Latina, and other ethnicities, who wish
to grow their businesses to a higher level and help create local and national agendas that

support businesses owned by women of color, must apply in advance to participate. Selection criteria
include owning a business that is at least 50 percent women owned with annual revenues between
$250,000 and $5 million. All types of industries are welcome. Women-of-color entrepreneurs who meet
the research criteria and wish to participate should contact the Center for Women's Business
Research at www.womensbusinessresearch.orq or at 202.638.3060 ext. 725.

Bank of America is the city sponsor for the Chicago research fomm which will be held at the Bank of

America {231 S. LaSalle, 21®^ Floor) from 9am to 5pm. The Women's Business Development Center of
Chicago is the city co-presenter. The forum will be followed by a reception attended by participants,
guests, and executives from sponsoring corporations and organizations.

"As of 2006, there are 2.4 million businesses owned by women of color. They are starting businesses
at a faster rate than all businesses but their firms are not achieving the same level of success when
measured by revenues and employment," said Sheila Brooks, national spokesperson for this initiative
and President and CEO of SRB Productions, Inc. "These businesses have great untapped potential for
economic and social impact which can only be realized by clearly identifying their challenges and then
developing targeted programs and policies to remove those barriers. The research participants will
share their stories, develop personal and business action plans, learn how to grow their businesses
from the proven strategies of others, and contribute to setting new community and national agendas
that support growth."

Now in its third year, Accelerating the Growth of Businesses Owned by Women of Co/or continues to
be funded by a prestigious consortium of corporate and association national sponsors, including Wal-
Mart Stores/ Sam's Club, Inc.; Wachovia; UPS Capital; Wells Fargo & Company; American Airiines;
IBM; MasterCard; Verizon; Time Warner; and PepsiCo.

Leading women business owner organizations and other non-profit organizations are also research
sponsors. They are: the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO); National
Women's Business Council (NWBC); Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC); and
the Women Presidents* Organization (WPO).

"We are very pleased to participate in this research which will culminate in sharing the experiences and
insight of women-of-color entrepreneurs with national policy makers," said Babson College associate
professor Donna Stoddard "We expect this research to create community and national agendas to
foster the success of all women-of-color entrepreneurs."

The core of the project is five research forums bringing women of color entrepreneurs together to
identify key issues. The first four forums were held in Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania; and San Francisco, California. Babson College has developed two case studies for this
research inifiative, which exemplify the major areas of discussion.

. . .Only two decades ago, few foreigners would have viewed this loose federation

of seven independent sheikhdoms, strung out along the southeastern corner of the

Persian Gulf, as a land of opportunity. But thanks to the world's fifth-largest

reserves of crude oil and natural gas, an estimated $1 trillion of investment abroac

and plans to spend at least $200 billion over the next decade on infrastructure and

other grandiose projects in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the two most dynamic emirates, the UAE has burst

into the world's— and belatedly, America's--consciousness. . .

Jersey* s Toll Tax

Nicole Gelinas, New York Post, January 14, 2008

New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine's plan for toll hikes sets a dismaying precedent: Some of the take would
indirectly fund past spending that has nothing to do with roads. Corzine's goals - to invest in
infrastructure and to reduce debt - are worthy, but it's a bad idea to turn to toll payers to pay off non-
road debt. . .

It will be interesting to see who couldn't make it in for the already- scheduled 1:00 gavel
time. She's full of bull. Just like she was last week on the fund raiser invitation. Just
like she was on MatMaid "assistance", just like she was on telling reporters I was gone
"for many weeks" at the beginning of last year's session, etc etc etc. She needs to be
called on her lies.

Qovernor,

Bitney said they had a problem with it last week, but then Harris changed his mind and
said 6:00 was o,k. In the meantime Bitney still sent the 7:00 invite to the Senate. That
put this all in motion, because Lyda had all she needed for ammo. The question remains,
why should you change your travel after 6:00 was already approved a month ago?

We NEVER refused to provide a reason for 6:00. When they asked, we told them. Bitney
pretended he needed a reason for 6:00 because he thought it might make us sweat. He then
admitted he knew about the graduation all along. He had told Tkacz early last week.

I've been consistent since last week (when Tkacz was the first one to say he knew about
the graduation) that you had a flight to catch to go see your son graduate. I never said
anything until it was obvious that the word was out .

The only real bad part of the story is the quote about the prime time slot. This was
never a factor as far a I .was concerned. I'm not sure why that even came up. Never heard
that was a consideration of ours. It seems to run counter to the explanation that we
needed 6:00 in order for you to catch a plane.

Governor, All,

I just spoke with Ashley Reed and Kim Hutchinson (two of the three people who represented
Gillam in our discussions, the 3rd being Atty Jeff Feldman) . Neither knew who leaked the
draft documents, although when I pressed them they agreed that it may have been Art
Haclcney, who works as Gillam 's Public Relations' representative. I pressed them on this
issue because over the weekend I had heard that Art Hackney told Rhonda Boyles about our
discussions, and Rhonda immediately told a mining community rep. Ashley told me this
morning he was asked by KTUU to comment on whether there had been "negotiations" and he
refused to do so, stating he advised KTUU that his refusal to comment should not be
construed as a confirmation nor a denial. He said that at that time KTUU was simply
probing and didn't seem to know much and certainly didn't have a copy of the draft.
Therefore he contends they got ahold of more info subsequently. At the end of our
conversation Ashley told me that if we (the Administration) wanted him to make a statement
to the press he would be happy to say whatever we liked, as long as it was "remotely like
the truth". He restated his appreciation that we "gave them so much time and made a real
effort". I told Ashley I would get back to him on this. When I told Ashley that the news
reported that we approached them, Ashley agreed that is not how it occurred, nor was this
ever about keeping issues from a vote of the people. Rather, it was looking for possible
solutions to a. perception problem, including Gillam 's perception that Alaska's permitting
process is inadequate. Or as Tom said to KTUU, we were looking for the "art of the
possible" or "common ground". Tom also told KTUU. Lthis is what DNR does, regularly. We.
are geared to listen to Alaskans and try and resolve conflicts, whether they are on
permitting, land management or some other issue. In this case Pebble and the initiatives
are very important in the state. Both sides put problems, goals and solutions on the

1

PRA GSP01 0009986

table looking for a resolution. In this case eveiryone should conclude one sicje asked for
too much and one side wasn't willing to give more, so the discussions stopped".

Governor, if you think it would be helpful for Ashley to make a statement to the press
tomorrow, please advise and I will work with Sharon and Joe to make it happen. Also, I am
so sorry this effort has taken a negative path, as it was totally about seeing if we could
make something helpful out of some problems.

I didn't see the 6:00 pm news report but Joe Balash just called and said they completely
misrepresented the truth, I am about to call Ashley Reed to convey how unhappy we are
w/this and. we want a clarification!

Yikes- why did ktuu report that we're negotiating over pebble? I think they got it wrong
- we know there's no negotiating. It's unfortunate that the report made it soxmd like
we're thwarting the right of the people to speak/vote on this. They said we approached the
environmental group to squash it .

Re: Fw:

Governor, for lack of nothing more original or inspiring to say, you're awesome! We
support you and Alaska supports you.

I'm truely ashamed of the senate president and to have worked for her. Tonight I*ve lost
any respect I had left. Never in my wildest dreams could I think anyone would make a
person pick between addressing their state or honoring their only son as he graduates from
boot camp and will go on to be a great defender of our country, I'm really just sickened
by the abuse of power. I'm with Kris and Frank-send her a flippin' dvd in the mail-she'd
be lucky to even get a copy- she sure as heck doesn't deserve the honor of seeing your
address in person.

And tell Track we love 'em and thanks for serving our country.

2nd NIkolski Fuel Crisis Update - January 14th, 2008

Dear All:

APIA, APICDA, and Delta Western are still working together to attempt a
fuel delivery to Nikolski. The marine charter did not go this weekend,
due to weather. The rest of the week does not look promising either, as
hurricane force winds are expected tonight, with the tail end of the
storm near the end of the week.

The earliest an air charter could make it would be Wednesday morning,
weather permitting. Now that some of the heavy equipment has been
repaired, the runway should be able to be kept cleared, but fuel is
short for the heavy equipment too.

Nikolski has less than 9 drums in the tank. Heating oil is a priority,
but without electricity, they won't have heat either.

A new update will follow upon new information, at least by Wednesday.
Thank you for your attention and interest and please let me know if you
need any more information.

Dear Ms. Palin,

I have been to your state two times now-- and I would like you to know the following:

1. It is a truly amazing state- your state does wonders for the Tourism Industry

2. Residents of Alaska praise your ability in promoting your State, utilizing your state's
resources in allowing a great workforce opportunity.

These are important issues, as a resident of Michigan, these are areas we are doing poorly
in. So, if you ever think of running for Governor in Michigan, you will have my vote-- I
know that is most likely not going to happen-- however, I did want you to know I think you
are doing a great job for your people.

Sincerely,

Melinda Smith

We wanted you to see the attached email and proposed ad from Defenders of wildlife. As
you will note. Defenders is contemplating a full blown advocacy campaign to foreclose
aerial predator control of wolves and other animals if the purpose is to enhance game
populations or sport hunting. Their bill would foreclose such predator control in
Alaska and in other states, such as Wyoming and Idaho, where the practice is now being
discussed.

Nikolski Fuel Crisis Update - January 14th, 2008

Dear All:

APIA, APICDA, and Delta Western are still working together to attempt a
fuel delivery to Nikolski. The marine charter did not go this weekend,
due to weather. The rest of the week does not look promising either, as
hurricane force winds are expected tonight, with the tail end of the
storm near the end of the week.

Nikolski estimates that the electricity should make it for a few days
but have taken the last nine drums to the power plant. When the school
is open and the clinic is heated by electric heaters, both generators
are needed and the fuel usage can be as high as 150 gallons a day. Other
homes out of heating oil are also heating with electricity.

Today, we are looking into an air charter, but this situation is
bankrupting the community which will soon be without the jobs to run the
community. The funding will only cover one or two more efforts. Let
today's cold weather remind us how fortunate we are and how undeserving
Nikolski is of this preventable situation.

PRA GSP01 0010011

A new update will follow upon new information, at least by Tuesday.
Thank you for your attention and interest and please let me know if you
need any more information.
