Sarah Palin Emails Released June 10, 2011

The Chichagof selected land stretches from the waterfall on the inlet across from Pelican
westward around into Lisianski Straits to a point approximately two-and-a-half miles past
Stag Bay. The Yakobi Island selection reaches from Soapstone Cove at the mouth of
Lisianski Inlet to Miner Island and the down the Lisianski Straits to a point
approximately two miles past Stag Bay.

The forest service is interested in the exchange, because it would make Admiralty Island
National Monument "more whole." Evidently, they overlook current settlements at Greens
Creek Mine, Funter Bay, city of Angoon, and Pybus Bay Lodge.

I strongly object to this exchange; quite frankly Shee Atika made its selection and it
should keep its land. Shee Atika has utilized its land by harvesting the trees; it makes
no sense to trade that land for public land of great value.

The Lisianski land in question is regularly used by residents of Pelican, Juneau, Hoonah,
Sitka and -elsewhere for deer hunting and other subsistence and recreational purposes. The
proposed land exchange would remove more than half of the best hunting areas from public
access. Rather than make the Admiralty National Monument "more whole" at the expense of
some other area, let us keep ANSCA whole by adhering to the original terms; a deal is a
deal. I will be writing to Forest Cole, forest service supervisor in Ketchikan, regarding
this subject as well as every politician that may influence him. I encourage others to do
the same.

Wearing a bike helmet matters

Monday morning I received a not-so-subtle reminder about the importance of wearing a bike
helmet, even on short trips without much traffic.

A car slowed and motioned me to turn in front of it onto Lake Street from Etolin Way, just
as another cyclist was pedaling by in the next lane. As I turned left onto Lake, I looked
back to make sure the car was staying stopped and I wasn't going to yeer into the path. of
the other cyclist. Somehow I accidentally squeezed my left (front) brake handle, and when
the brakes grabbed my momentum threw me headfirst over the handlebars.

PRA GSP01 0021094

The other cyclist stopped to see if I was OK, and he said it looked like I landed right on
my helmet- I have road rash and bruises on the palms of both hands, my right knee and left
inner thigh (and I tore a pair of pants) . But I have no damage to my head, not even a
scratch. The brain bucket worked, likely saving me from a concussion or worse fate.

If you're a cyclist, please learn from my little incident that you should always wear your
helmet, including on short trips. Even the most experienced cyclists can take a tumble
(I'm not an expert, but I've been commuting by bike off and on since gas cost less than $1
a gallon) . I was only a block from ray apartment, and on clear pavement with no rain or
gravel to make it slick.

If you're a parent and your kids ride a bike, skateboard, scooter, in-line skates or
similar vehicle, please be aware there is a Sitka helmet ordinance that requires helmet
use for anyone younger than 18 years old (Chapter 11.70.010 of the Sitka General Code,
www.hss.state.ak.us/ dph/ipems /in jury_jprevention/helmetSafety/bi cycle/legislation. htm) .
I've seen a lot more kids riding without helmets, and parents need to be aware they (the
parents) can be fined if their child is stopped by police for not wearing a helmet.

Ketchikan Daily News

Ready, set, register

Everyone knows about the presidential race - the one that seems to have been going on
since Moses was in short pants - that's to be decided in our nation's general election in
November.

It's b&en exciting, no doubt about it, and as voters we can hardly wait to participate. A

52

PRA GSP01 0021095

*^ _r * ihT»

whole lot of new voters has become engaged in the process this time/ people who haven't
been interested enough (or old enough) to vote previously.

But there's something to do even before casting those historic ballots in November. And
that's register to vote, in order to participate in Alaska's Aug. 26 primary.

It could be tempting to look only at the general election as the big enchilada, so to
speak, and not worry about the primary.

But in Alaska, that's not a very good idea

Two years ago, a sitting governor with decades of experience in the U.S. Senate was ousted
- in the primary.

This primary season there will be plenty of names on the ballot, with a dozen candidates
for the U.S. Senate seat alone. The best-known name there, of course, is incumbent
Republican Sen. Ted Stevens, who is being opposed by Michael Corey, David Cuddy, Jerry
Heikes, Rick Sikma, Vic Vickers and Rich Wanda, all seeking the GOP's nod.

It doesn't endt there. The Democratic front-runner. Anchorage mayor Mark Begich, isn't the
only Democrat on the ballot, either. Ray Metcalfe and Frank Vondersaar want to be that
party's standard-bearer.

Other Senate primary candidates are Bob Bird, Alaskan Independence Party, and David Haase,
Libertarian.

Alaska Congressman Don Young won't be getting a free ride back to the U.S. House of
Representatives, either. Other Republicans who want his job are Gabrielle LeDoux and Sean
Parnell. The Democrats are having a dust-up, too, with Diane Benson and Ethan Berkowitz
seeking the House nomination in August.

Don bright is the only Alaskan Independence candidate on the Alaska U.S. House ballot.

But we don't get to vote for (or against!) any of them without being registered to vote.

The deadline to register in time for the primary is July 27, and that's less than two
weeks away. That's also the deadline for changing your registration, if you want to switch
parties, or if you've moved, according to the state Division of Elections.

You can register to vote at municipal clerks 1 offices, the Division of Motor Vehicles and
the library. Applications also are available online at www.elections.alaska.gov. The
division accepts applications in person, of course, but also by mail or fax.

53

PRA GSP01 0021096

You may register after July 27, but then it will be too late to vote in the primary „ And
the Division warns that your party affiliation as of July 27 will determine which party
ballot you'll be eligible to vote in the primary.

So don't delay; register now* It really is an exciting year for elections; don't be left
out.

Subject: FW: Interactive Map Info.

John:

DNR has some extensive mapping abilities and some are available electronically on the web. The maps
should show the boundaries and the title that land is held in, such as federal, state, local, ANCSA, etc.,
and existing infrastructure, such as pipelines, roads, airports, eta, A user guide and links to the maps is
attached. I did not mention to anyone at DNR why I needed this information.

If DNR's DGGS division can create a map of known large projects that could be developed, (mining, oil
and gas reserves and pipelines (small) and large renewable energy projects), we could overlay the two
maps, see where projects are located, know who owns the land the projects are on, and where the project
is in relation to existing infrastructure.

At that point, we could start doing some analysis of feasibility, rough cost estimates, positive economic
impact, likelihood of stalling out due to environmental lawsuits, what infrastructure would need to be built
to get the projects moving, and ranking the projects.

This list could then be discussed by the commissioners and staff of DNR, DOT, Revenue, Labor, and
OMB and ultimately, we could provide recommendations to the Governor.

I am also mailing 2 wall size maps showing land ownership. Call me if you have questions.

Dear Governor Palin:

Last year, \n partnership with the Beating the Odds Foundation, Leigh Steinberg the real life inspiration of
the sports agent from the film Jerry Maguire, created the Leigh Steinberg Beating the Odds Quarterback
Club (Quarterback Club). The Quarterback Club consists of "quarterbacks of life," whose stories help
students realize their dreams, set goals to reach those dreams, and overcome the challenges of life.

Governors, superintendents, principals, teachers and high school students across America are being
invited to join the National Quarterbacks of Life Team and become role models to elementary students.
The Quarterbacks of Life Mentoring Program works with students beginning in the fourth grade.

The Quarterback Club would like to invite you to present a message to the elementary students of your
state on the power of dreams, goals, overcoming the challenges of life, and the importance of developing
a never give up attitude.

Please visit www.beatinQtheodds.org and click on Quarterbacks of Life Mentoring Program under
programs to see the Governor of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania's Secretary of Education's comments.

The internet is powerful And we are developing technology that will allow us to reach kids, parents,
teachers, counselors and mentors across America.

This technology will enable Beating the Odds Foundation to deliver crucial curriculum to teachers and
mentors. Curriculum that includes Quarterbacks of Life success stories. Curriculum that will provide
children with the life skills needed to realize their dreams, and have a better shot at living meaningful, safe
and productive lives.

A technology with the sole focus on creating leaders out of millions of today's youths.

This program will be available in September of 2008.

This program aims to:

• connect students with mentors and role models

PRIVILEGE

Congressman Ralph Hall (Republican, Texas) - called this morning to seek your support for
draft legislation (pasted = below) that would convey the Coastal Plain of ANWR to the State of
Alaska - in order to facilitate oil and gas development there. The Congressman is working
closely with Congressman Young = on the bill and says that he has discussed it personally with
President = Bush, who would sign the legislation if it gets to his desk. =

I was non-committal pending this communicat= ion to you. There is no question that the Palin

administration =* supports responsible oil and gas development in the Coastal Plain.&nbs^ p:

The legislation would also require a 50/50 ~ revenue share between the State and federal
governments and would impose a = prohibition on oil exports. With the exception of a =
few Alaskans, most people believe that these requirements are = inevitable in any ANWR bill
that has a chance of passing.

Recommendation: I don't know whether the following would be completely = acceptable to Mr.
Hall, but I would recommend the statement below in = response -

Hi Rhonda

If you get a chance tomorrow let T s look at the Alaska map by Britta f s desk so we can
strategize on where we need to have a presence and I can study up on the local issues in
areas I should be visiting. Rosanne also, as our public outreach broadens in areas I've
yet to visit. We may get a chance to access the King Mr next month, that could make for

Please find letter dated July 17 r 2008 that was just received via email from Mayor
Whitaker in response to the letter he received from the Attorney General. The signed
letter is attached.

Dear Attorney General Colberg:

Thank you for your letter dated July 10, 2008. The Fairbanks North Star Borough sincerely
appreciates Governor Palin 1 s commitment to finding solutions to Alaska's energy crisis.

Your letter suggests that your office has taken, at most, a purely advisory role with
regard to the pricing of cook Inlet natural gas (CI gas) . You state that there has been
"no action" and "no decision." Although it maybe true that the State's intervention in
various regulatory proceedings is not the only factor behind cheap CI gas, there is no
question that your office has consistently advocated for a non-market price under the
public interest pretext of protecting Anchorage "domestic supply needs."

Our point is that this advocacy, apart from anything else the State is doing with respect
to CI gas, runs directly counter to Article VIII of our Constitution.

$

But your office's regulator advocacy is not our only complaint. We also have legal
concerns regarding 11 AAC 03.010(e), a regulation that prohibits export of royalty CI gas
absent a finding regarding intrastate (i.e., Anchorage) demand. This regulation clearly
does not maximize the return on the state's royalty gas. Similarly, approval of the sale
of royalty gas to ML&P at excessively low prices runs counter to the Constitution and
statute. And there are other examples where state action runs directly counter to

1

PRA GSP01 0021112

1

constitutional and statutory requirements.

If the State were truly committed to maximizing gas royalties, it would advocate for a
market price for CI gas. There's no doubt that a higher return on CI gas would directly
stimulate more private investment, exploration and production in Cook Inlet than
artificial price suppression combined with leveraged agreements with the producers.

You note that Fairbanks may be a beneficiary of below-market CI gas. Whether or not

Fairbanks receives such de minimis benefit does not change the legal reality that the ^

State's advocacy and other actions regarding CI gas are ripe for legal challenge. P

Nevertheless, as long as there is positive movement toward a more equal distribution of
the state's energy resources, we remain committed to working with the Administration and
legislators on remedying the disparate impact that Alaska's energy crisis has on the
Interior.

Sincerely, Jim Whitaker, Mayor

Your prompt review of the attached letter would be appreciated. It is my concern that
ADF&G continues to conduct itself in a manner that is potentially illegal under State law.
I believe a full and open review of these matters by the Attorney General Office may be
necessary to resolve them.

If the actions were in fact illegal then the administration in keeping with an open and
transparent policy should acknowledge that fact .

Governor Palin to Chair NGA Natural Resources Committee

July 17, 2008, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin this week was named Chair of the
National Governors Association (NGA) Natural Resources Committee. Montana Governor Brian
Schweitzer will serve as vice chair. The announcement came as the NGA wrapped up its 100th
annual meeting in Philadelphia.

*I appreciate this opportunity and look forward to working with Governor Schweitzer on issues of
energy, environment and natural resources/ said Governor Palin. ^Alaska's potential to continue
providing a safe, secure, and domestic source of energy is great. I look forward to addressing the
growing energy challenges with the rest of the nation's governors."

The NGA Natural Resources Committee is charged with pursuing legislation to make sure state
needs are considered as federal policy is formulated in the areas of agriculture, energy,
environmental protection and natural resource management.

Founded in 1908, the NGA is the collective voice of the nation's governors and is one of
Washington, D.C.'s, most respected public-policy organizations. NGA provides governors with
services that range from representing states on Capitol Hill and before the administration to
developing policy reports on innovative state programs.

Governor,

Your three completed picnic binders are on your desk. A few changes worth noting:

-as DMVA did not have a Corporate Blue Star Banner in Alaska, we are going to have to pass on including that in
tomorrow's ceremony at the Valley picnic. Also, it would be more appropriate for the American Legion or a
branch of the military to present you with the flag, so well work that out down the road.

-in the Valley military ceremony, you will be assisting Bert Hall in handing out the Blue Star Banners to Valley
military families.

-I have put speaking points for all three of the picnics on card stock and placed them in your binders, should you
prefer that format You have two occasions to speak at the Valley picnic (two sets of remarks inducted), and one
occasion at each of the other picnics.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance. Have a good
evening!

WUJ.UUU J»

Governor,

Your three completed picnic binders are on your desk. A few changes worth noting:

-as DMVA did not have a Corporate Blue Star Banner in Alaska, we are going to have to pass on including that in
tomorrow's ceremony at the Valley picnic. Also, it would be more appropriate for the American Legion or a
branch of the military to present you with the flag, so we'll work that out down the road.

-in the Valley military ceremony, you will be assisting Bert Hall in handing out the Blue Star Banners to Valley
military families.

-I have put speaking points for all three of the picnics on card stock and placed them in your binders, should you
prefer that format. You have two occasions to speak at the Valley picnic (two sets of remarks included), and one
occasion at each of the other picnics.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance. Have a good
evening!

Governor Palin to Chair NGA Natural Resources Committee

July 17, 2008, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin this week was named Chair of the
National Governors Association (NGA) Natural Resources Committee. Montana Governor Brian
Schweitzer will serve as vice chair. The announcement came as the NGA wrapped up its 100th
annual meeting in Philadelphia.

*I appreciate this opportunity and look forward to working with Governor Schweitzer on issues of
energy, environment and natural resources," said Governor Palin. * Alaska's potential to continue
providing a safe, secure, and domestic source of energy is great. I look forward to addressing the
growing energy challenges with the rest of the nation's governors."

The NGA Natural Resources Committee is charged with pursuing legislation to make sure state
needs are considered as federal policy is formulated in the areas of agriculture, energy,
environmental protection and natural resource management.

Founded in 1908, the NGA is the collective voice of the nation's governors and is one of
Washington, D.C/s, most respected public-policy organizations. NGA provides governors with
services that range from representing states on Capitol Hill and before the administration to
developing policy reports on innovative state programs*

I haven't seen a press release from NGA, but the attached list of Committees states that Governor Palln is Chair
of the Natural Resources Committee.

I'm thinking that, with all of the members of Congress coming to Alaska, a press release concerning the
Governor's appointment might be a good stroke. So, you or Sharon might want to coordinate this with NGA's
press office.

Governor Palin Releases Statement

July 17 , 2008, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today released the following
statement regarding allegations that she acted improperly.

"As governor, I expect a certain amount of criticism. When I took the oath of office, I
even encouraged Alaskans to ask me questions, to hold me accountable. But some critics
have taken this to ridiculous extremes that threaten to distract from the vital business
currently facing the state and its residents.

w To allege that I, or any member of my family, requested, received or released
confidential personnel information on an Alaska State Trooper, or directed disciplinary
action be taken against any employee of the Department of Public Safety, is, quite simply,
outrageous. Any information regarding personnel records came from the trooper himself. I
question the timing of these false allegations. It is unfortunate, as we seek to address a
growing energy crisis in this state, that this matter has been raised now.

W I do not interfere with the day-to-day operations of any department. Former Commissioner
Monegan was not released due to any actions or inaction related to personnel issues in his
department. We had hoped the former commissioner would have stayed in state service to
help fight alcohol-related crime. We offered him the position of executive director of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control board and, unfortunately, he turned it down.

"I have and will continue to support our line troopers. They have my utmost respect.
Since taking office, I have proposed to the legislature millions of dollars in budget
increases for more troopers, equipment and training. My administration just completed
contract negotiations providing increased wages and other benefits.

* Nothing will distract me from improving public safety. Commissioner Kopp shares my

PRA GSP01 0021139

vision for filling vacant positions and reducing crime across the state.

M The Department of Public Safety is a professional organization. We have good men and
women protecting our families. Troopers are our first line of defense and will always
have my full support."

Gotcha.

By the way, we just looked into my sister's divorce court records- it's confirmed there
that neither the Palin or Heath family ever filed even a single complaint against Trooper
Wooten. And that it was four days ago that Wooten refused to return kids over after a
visitation, his sargeant had to call him to tell him to obey the court order, so he
returned the kids with this threat: "Get ready for the show. I will bring you and your
family down". Then, four days later he riles up the union and they hold the press
conference. (Which is proof that Walt's dismissal had nothing to do with Trooper Wooten.
Wooten orchestrated all this today.)

Proof that today *s PSEA/Wooten presser had nothing to do with Walt's dismissal: on Sunday,
Wooten refused to follow court order to hand the kids over to Molly after his visitation.
One of Wooten' s sergeants had to call him and tell him he must obey the court order. He
handed over the kids and promised Molly, "Get ready for a show. I'm going to bring you and
your family down". From there he riled up the union and then had the press conf . I just

Governor

On July 3rd, 2008, the OMB analyst sent me an e-mail stating that there were 395 trooper positions
authorized in the budget (284 troopers, 10 corporals, 65 sergeants, 23 lieutenants, 10 captains and 3
majors).

As of June 30, 2008, the payroll system showed 56 of these positions as vacant. (49 trooper positions, 2
corporal positions, 1 sergeant, 3 lieutenants, and 1 captain)

The OMB anatyst noted the numbers would change if there were new hires or retirements that had
not had their paperwork processed yet through Personnel.

Subject; House Democrats /Energy Bill

Recognizing that you will soon be meeting with a number of House Republicans and
Republican challengers, I have briefly analyzed below the latest energy proposal by House
Democrats .

This legislation, which was not available until this morning, will be voted on today in
the House on the suspension calendar. The suspension calendar requires a 2/3rds vote for
passage, and no amendments are allowed. So, the Republican energy package, which includes
ANWR, will not be considered.

There is virtually no chance that the Democrats' proposal will become law. However,
because Alaska is prominently featured, and because there will be much rhetoric and press
coverage, I have reviewed the bill, which is attached.

* NPR-A-leasing and pipeline construction - seeks to expedite leasing and the
construction of necessary pipelines. There appears to be nothing new here. The BLM is
proceeding expeditiously with a leasing program, and I'm sure that pipeline construction
will be expedited as necessary.

* Alaska gas pipeline coordination - makes the President responsible for coordinating
pipeline activities . The federal pipeline coordinator is vested with most of these
responsibilities in the 2005 legislation. Bringing in the President and expanding
somewhat on the scope of coordination might help marginally but is not much of a
substantive change.

* Project labor Agreements - this section would require project labor agreements for

1

PRA GSP01 0021159

the gas pipeline and makes mandatory earlier sense of Congress language enacted in 2005.
In my opinion, the new language adds little, as almost everyone has expected project labor
agreements . However, producers and pipeline companies might feel that a mandatory
requirement biases future PLA negotiations.

* Pipeline maintenance - requires that the operators of oil and gas pipelines in
Alaska certify annually that their pipelines are being maintained and operated in a
efficient manner. In my opinion, this doesn't add much to existing law.

* Oil export ban - would reimpose the ban on exporting Alaska oil. This would
accomplish little, as there have been no Alaska exports, we're told, since 2000. This
would appear to be a slap at Alaska sovereignty since other states are not so encumbered,
and limited amounts of crude oil and refined products are exported now.

* Use it or Loose it/federal leaseholders - would penalize leaseholders who are not
acting diligently to produce oil and gas from their leases. This would appear to add very
little to the due diligence and production requirements of existing law and arguably does
not recognize the realities of how hydrocarbons are explored for and produced.

* Royalty Payments - is designed to ensure that the federal government receives its
proper share of revenues from federal leases throughout the country. Again, existing law
and regulations contain provisions to accomplish this purpose.

Conclusion: In my opinion, this bill is more rhetorical than real. Neither it nor the
Republican alternative has much chance of being enacted.

There seems to be a consensus on the need to enact legislation to restrict petroleum
speculation, but the consensus ends there. In the meantime, there is a bipartisan group
seeking to draft a more meaningful energy policy that could attract enough votes to be

enacted.

Ivy,

I am sending this in momentarily.

One important job for governor is the appointment of a cabinet Surrounding yourself with good
people with a common vision isnt always easy. The Governor's Decision to appoint
Commissioner Kopp is the right decision and it's her decision. No one iikes to get fired or do the
firing. Vm certain that it would have been much easier to stick with whaVs been "working* or stick
with the status quo. in aft of this, Commissioner Monegan was given a respectful alternative.
He chose to get publicafly upset

It takes a smart leader to understand and communicate a common vision for Alaska. It takes
a tough ieader to act on that vision. Governor Palin also keenly understands that inaction rarefy
leads to growth or improvement She is trying to make our government more transparent
and efficient by taking some action.

Those who call for an 'explanation" to this change ought to know that discussing personnel
decisions can unnecessary compromise taws and reputations.

I imagine it would have been much easier for the Governor to work within established burocratfc
norms by retaining Commissioner Monegan. I look forward to a leaner and stronger public safety
sector under new direction. To a man who came up from the ranks, good luck in your new
position Commissioner Kopp.

Governor Palin to Chair NGA Natural Resources Committee

July 17, 2008, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin this week was named Chair of the
National Governors Association (NGA) Natural Resources Committee. Montana Governor
Brian Schweitzer will serve as vice chair. The announcement came as the NGA wrapped up
its 100th annual meeting in Philadelphia.

*I appreciate this opportunity and look forward to working with Governor Schweitzer on
issues of energy, environment and natural resources/' said Governor Palin. "Alaska's
potential to continue providing a safe, secure, and domestic source of energy is great. I
look forward to addressing the growing energy challenges with the rest of the nation's
governors.

n

The NGA Natural Resources Committee is charged with pursuing legislation to make sure
state needs are considered as federal policy is formulated In the areas of agriculture,
energy, environmental protection and natural resource management.

Founded in 1908, the NGA is the collective voice of the nation's governors and is one of
Washington, D.C.'s, most respected public-policy organizations. NGA provides governors
with services that range from representing states on Capitol Hill and before the
administration to developing policy reports on innovative state programs.

filling the long-vacant positions w efforts to recruit our returning military personnel.
Lots of these soldiers don't know what to do next as their deployments conclude... we may

Rolling out such a promise, Sharon and Rosanne could help because we got a good supportive

Thanks Governor. It's an interesting approach that I like. Plus, we don't even need the
whole 19 million acre reserve, just 2,000 acres where the oil is and enough to get it out
of the reserve. Amazing that democrats in Congress will call for steps like not adding
small amounts of oil to the strategic reserve and tout that as helpful to the energy
crisis but then complain the million barrels a day in oil and trillions of cubic feet of
natural gas in ANWR isn't enough to help the nation.

I'll be in Anchorage today and tomorrow meeting with Chuck Kopp to discuss steps we can
take on crime in rural Alaska and improving recruiting etc. There are several things Walt
didn't really seem to work hard on or want to do, like recruiting from returning National
Guard and military, or finding ways to improve our local option laws and cracking down on
bootlegging that could be helpful. I will pass these ideas on to Chuck and mention the

concerning NPR-A. I think he's right-on.

Blunt: BLM Decision on NPR-A Good News ^ for Americans, Bad News for Democrats Who Tried
to Block Leases in =• ' 07

WASHINGTON - House Republican ~ Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) issued the following statement today
applauding news « from the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
indicating - the agency will soon be conducting a lease sale in the northeast corner of -
the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A) , with an eye on developing - oil and natural
gas resources for the American people:

"Today's announcement from BLM - should serve to remind Democratic leaders that NPR-A is
already open for - energy production, is already in the process of being leased for energy

- development, and has otherwise been explored for more than a generation. -' But similar
to how Democrats brought forth their 'Use It or Lose It 1 bill = without knowing it was
already the law of the land, today we're reminded =* that the majority's efforts to
'unlock' NPR-A are about as necessary as = passing a bill ordering the sun to rise.

"Still, today's - announcement is good news for the American people - and bad news for «
Democratic leaders who worked furiously to prevent these lease sales from - going forward
in their 'Six for '06' energy bill. Obviously, though, much - more will need to be done if
we have any expectation of delivering ~ affordable energy to the American people.
Unfortunately, very little ^happening this week in Washington will get us any closer to
that important - goal - and some things, such as the effort to deny a natural gas terminal

- to the residents of Massachusetts, will actually take us much further « away."

Former Gov. Wally Hickel was admitted to the hospital early this morning complaining of chest
pain, according to Malcolm Roberts, his longtime aide.

Hickel, 88, has been admitted to Providence Alaska Medical Center and will undergo
testing all day, Roberts said.

According to a press release from Hickel's office, he was feeling fine by 5 a.m. He asked
for breakfast and told his staff to reschedule his meetings to Providence.

The usually ebullient hotel and construction mogul was in good spirits today, wanting to
return to work as soon as possible, Roberts said.

Hickel was twice elected governor of Alaska, in 1966 and 1990.

Governor Palin to Chair NGA Natural Resources Committee

July 17, 2008, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin this week was named chair of the
National Governors Association (NGA) Natural Resources Committee. Montana Governor
Brian Schweitzer will serve as vice chair. The announcement came as the NGA wrapped up
its 100th annual meeting in Philadelphia.

"I appreciate this opportunity and look forward to working with Governor Schweitzer on
issues of energy, environment and natural resources," said Governor Palin . "Alaska's
potential to continue providing a safe, secure and domestic source of energy is great. I look
forward to addressing the growing energy challenges with the rest of the nation's
governors."

The NGA Natural Resources Committee is charged with pursuing legislation to make sure
state needs are considered as federal policy is formulated in the areas of agriculture,
energy, environmental protection and natural resource management.

Founded in 1908, the NGA is the collective voice of the nation's governors and is one of
Washington, D.C. f s most respected public-policy organizations. NGA provides governors
with services that range from representing states on Capitol Hill and before the
administration to developing policy reports on innovative state programs.

House Democrats/Energy Bill

Attachments: NPR_002_xml.pdf

Recognizing that you will soon be meeting with a number of House Republicans and Republican
challengers, I have briefly analyzed below the latest energy proposal by House Democrats.

This legislation, which was not available until this morning, will be voted on today m the House on the
suspension calendar. The suspension calendar requires a 2/3rds vote for passage, and no amendments
are allowed. So, the Republican energy package, which includes ANWR, will not be considered.

There is virtually no chance that the Democrats' proposal will become law. However, because Alaska is
prominently featured, and because there will be much rhetoric and press coverage, I have reviewed the
bill, which is attached.

it

NPR-A-Ieasing and pipeline construction - seeks to expedite leasing and the construction of
necessary pipelines. There appears to be nothing new here. The BLM is proceeding
expeditiously with a leasing program, and I'm sure that pipeline construction will be expedited as

necessary-
Alaska gas pipeline coordination - makes the President responsible for coordinating pipeline
activities. The federal pipeline coordinator is vested with most of these responsibilities in
the 2005 legislation. Bringing in the President and expanding somewhat on the scope of
coordination might help marginally but is not much of a substantive change.
Project labor Agreements - this section would require project labor agreements for the gas
pipeline and makes mandatory earlier sense of Congress language enacted in 2005. In my
opinion, the new language adds little, as almost everyone has expected project labor
agreements . However, producers and pipeline companies might feel that a mandatory
requirement biases future PLA negotiations.

Pipeline maintenance - requires that the operators of oil and gas pipelines in Alaska certify
annually that their pipelines are being maintained and operated in a efficient manner. In my
opinion, this doesn't add much to existing law.

Oil export ban - would reimpose the ban on exporting Alaska oil. This would accomplish little, as
there have been no Alaska exports, we're told, since 2000. This would appear to be a slap at
Alaska sovereignty since other states are not so encumbered, and limited amounts of crude oil
and refined products are exported now.

Use it or Loose it/federal leaseholders - would penalize leaseholders who are not acting diligently
to produce oil and gas from their leases. This would appear to add very little to the due diligence
and production requirements of existing law and arguably does not recognize the realities of how
hydrocarbons are explored for and produced.

Royalty Payments - is designed to ensure that the federal government receives its proper share
of revenues from federal leases throughout the country. Again, existing law and
regulations contain provisions to accomplish this purpose.

Conclusion: In my opinion, this bill is more rhetorical than real. Neither it nor the Republican alternative
has much chance of being enacted.

There seems to be a consensus on the need to enact legislation to restrict petroleum speculation, but the
consensus ends there. In the meantime, there is a bipartisan group seeking to draft a more meaningful energy

Thanks Governor. Its an interesting approach that I like. Plus, we dont even need the whole 19 million
acre reserve, just 2,000 acres where the oil \s and enough to get it out of the reserve. Amazing that
democrats in Congress will call for steps like not adding small amounts of oil to the strategic reserve and
tout that as helpful to the energy crisis but then complain the million barrels a day in oil and trillions of
cubic feet of natural gas m ANWR isn't enough to help the nation.

I'll be in Anchorage today and tomorrow meeting with Chuck Kopp to discuss steps we can take on crime
in rural Alaska and improving recruiting etc. There are several things Walt didn't really seem to work hard
on or want to do, like recruiting from returning National Guard and military, or finding ways to improve our
local option laws and cracking down on bootlegging that could be helpfut I will pass these ideas on to
Chuck and mention the recruiting ideas to Joe Schmidt for DOC to consider.

Subject: Congressman Boehner/Alaska Energy Provisions

According to news articles, Minority Leader Boehner supports the Alaska provisions in the energy legislation
proposed yesterday by House Democrats- While this bill was defeated on the suspension calendar, which
requires a 2/3rds vote for approval, the Alaska provisions (discussed in my email yesterday) could come up
again in some other context.

Accordingly, if possible, I would suggest that you talk with Mr. Boehner during his Alaska visit this weekend. In
my opinion, he is inadvertently failing into the Democrats' trap. Their proposal, and not just the use it or loose
it feature, is much more rhetorical than real. In general, I believe that the Alaska provisions add little to existing
law and, in some cases (ban on oil exports) are actually deleterious.

If Mr. Boehner knows the facts, which I will be providing to his staff today, he might change his mind.

This could also help with some of the 26 House Republicans and a few oil state Democrats who voted in favor of

Speaker PefosPs legislation.

Several of our concerns are also discussed in a Statement of Administration Policy issued yesterday by the Bush
Administration. I have pasted the statement below so that you can see the Administration's problems with the
NPR-A and gas pipeline provisions, as well as with the ban on Alaska oil exports.

Hope this helps.

EXECUTIVE OFFECE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET

WASHINGTON, D.C 20503

July 17, 2008 (House)

STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY

H.R. 6515 -To amend the Naval Petroleum Reserves Production Act of 1976 and for other purposes

(Rep. Rahall (D) WV) ■

Hie Administration strongly opposes H.R.6515, which fails to address the pressing energy needs of our Nation.

Instead, the bill would discourage the development of domestic energy resources, drive up gasoline prices, and

reduce the Nation's energy security. With gasoline prices at historic highs, it is unimaginable that Congress Is

considering legislation that would, among other things, reduce domestic oil supply by chilling investment and

placing new restrictions on how exploration can go forward. If H.R. 6515 were presented to the President, his

senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill.

This legislation is another example of the Democratically controlled Congress* failure to address the root causes

of high gasoline prices. The President has put forward a combination of Federal policies to access our domestic

resources, break our dependence on fossil fuels, improve our energy efficiency, and harness the power of

alternative fuels and renewable energy technologies

- while at the same time increasing our energy security and ensuring our economy can continue to prosper and

grow.

On Monday, Jfuly 14, the President lifted an executive prohibition on drilling for oil and natural gas on the Outer

Continental Shelf and urged Congress to remove a similar legislative barrier. The President has repeatedly called

on Congress to take additional measures to address the Nation's energy needs including: (1) removing the

prohibition on completing commercial oil shale leasing regulations to allow access to this promising resource; (2)

permitting oil and gas exploration and development in a remote region of Northern Alaska; and (3) streamlining

the permitting process for expansions and reconfigurations of refineries. In lieu of the current flawed piece of

8/31/2009

PRA GSP01 0021186

Page 2 of 2

legislation, the Administration strongly urges the Congress to take action in these areas.
The bill prohibits the granting of new oil or gas exploration or production leases to any entity that is not
"diligently developing" its existing leases on Federal lands. Current law already establishes initial lease periods
and requires that reasonable progress be made toward production of resources from Federal oil and gas leases.
Failure to demonstrate and maintain progress toward commencing production already results in the forfeiture of
the lease and any extensions, as well as the lessee's investment in it.

By blocking some firms from competing for new leases, this legislation would further increase gasoline prices
that already exceed $4 per gallon and result in unintended consequences due to litigation. Even though new
leases will take years to develop, oil markets are forward-looking, and an expected decline in future supply will
raise prices today.

This bill mandates additional oil and gas leasing sales within the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska (NPR-A).
Tills mandate is misplaced, as regular lease sales are already occurring. The key impediment to increasing
production from NPR-A is the near continuous legal challenges to Federal lease sales in Alaska-lawsuits that
would just as surely prevent any meaningful progress intended by the bill's mandates. The Administration urges
Congress to address this key impediment, and thereby have a real positive impact on production.
This bill seeks to expedite construction of pipelines in Alaska for oil and natural gas. The Administration is willing
to help expedite any Federal permits needed to facilitate construction of such pipelines. However, the
Administration would oppose any requirement for further Federal funding or financial support for these
pipelines, as there are sufficient market incentives for their development In particular, the Administration would
strongly oppose any additional Federal financial incentives beyond the already authorized $18 billion in Federal
loan guarantees. If Congress really wants to have a positive impact on production in Alaska, they should allow
more production in the area of Alaska's National Wildlife Refuge that was set aside for oil and gas exploration.
Finally, this bill requires that Alaskan oil production supply only U.S. markets. Such a ban on the export of
Alaskan oil is unnecessary and unwise. None of the oil production from the North Slope of Alaska is sold beyond
Alaska and the Lower-48 States. The U.S. Congress did pass a law in 1995 permitting exports, but virtually no
oil has been exported for the past eight years. Such a ban would make virtually no additional oil available to
LLS. consumers, and would not lower oil prices that are set in a world market. At the same time, such export
restrictions are detrimental to the efficient operation of global energy markets and would send the wrong signal
to our trading partners who may face pressure to impose similar trade restrictions.

I had a very good meeting with Commissioner Kopp and Commissioner Kreitzer today. They are going to work
together on some steps they can take fairly quickly to help with recruiting and an issue with implementing VOIP
phones at DPS that Walt was not helping resolve. (DPS is the only state agency resisting the VOI P phones) If
we can get the issue fixed, we can probably avoid significant costs for ADMIN. We talked about a number of
other issues as well.

Basically, we made more progress in one hour with Commissioner Kopp on DPS issues than we were able to
make with Walt in months.

1. WASTE MANAGEMENT OFFERS TO BUY REPUBLIC SERVICES
FOR $6.19 BILLION

Waste Management launched an unsolicited surprise counter offer to buy
Republic Services for about $6.19 billion, potentially derailing Republic's
deal to acquire Allied Waste Industries Inc. for $6.77 billion. Republic
said in a statement that it would carefully review the proposal and
respond in due course, but the company noted that it already had a
definitive merger agreement with Allied Waste. Waste Management's bid
of $34 per share represents a 22% premium to Republic's recent closing
price, but that stock had been off by 17% since rumors of its deal to buy
Allied first surfaced. Therefore, it is likely that Waste Management will
have to sweeten its offer before all is said and done.

It is also likely that the greater level of overlap between the two
companies 1 markets will necessitate some divestitures; however,
according to Waste Managements Chairman and CEO, David Steiner,
"we're also certain the assets we'll get to keep are significant and make
for a compelling transaction. 1 * Republic's strong business in Las Vegas is
an especially compelling asset, said Steiner. Even with divestitures, the
merger is likely to result in an expansion of Waste Management's share
of the $55 billion waste management industry to 30% from 24%.

According to Steiner, "Our proposal clearly offers a better and more
certain value alternative to Republic stockholders than the recently
announced Republic-Allied Waste transaction."

Waste Management is drawing strength from its own recent
performance. The company said it expected to report second-quarter
earnings of between $0.61 and $0.62 per share, excluding special items,
exceeding analysts' average estimate of $0.58. Revenue rose 3.9% to
$3.49 billion during the quarter from a year earlier. Analysts were
expecting $3.43 billion... Read More »

bioreactor cells on the city's McCommas landfill. The process which
recirculates landfill leachate to accelerate and augment waste
decomposition, could extend the life of the landfill by 100 years and
produce enough methane to power 16,000 homes. Construction of the
first cell is scheduled to begin in October. According to Ron Smith,
assistant director of the city's sanitation department, "Even though it
looks like we're just burying trash, it's really a huge science project."
The city hopes to reap $30,000 to $50,000 per month from the sale of
the power.. .Read More »

3. STERICYCLE INSIDERS BUY $20 MILLION IN MORE SHARES

Two longtime insiders of medical waste management firm Stericycle Inc.,
have purchased a combined $20 million in additional shares of company
stock according to recent filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Company Chairman Jack Schuler and director John
Patience, whose venture-capital firm founded Stericycle in 1989, bought
the shares based on their belief that it represents a good investment in a
company and business that is somewhat insulated from troubles in the
general economy. According to Mr. Patience, "people still go to hospitals
and they go to the doctors' office and they have procedures and
procedures generate waste and Stericycle picks it up and treats
it.", .Read More »

Mrs. Palin,

I have emailed you several times in the past to say, I think you are doing an
outstanding job. I have emailed Mr. Halcro several times in the past 2 years that you have
been in office, to ask him to "grow up", among other things. His latest stunt with
accusations of improper actions on your part concerning Walt Monegon and Trooper Whooten
are ludicrious. So, being the good constituient that I am, I reminded him of the fact that
they all serve at your "pleasure". I also reminded him that he "lost" the election, he is
not the Governer, and that he could now go away somewhere and stir that kind of stuff
elsewhere. Seriously, not everyone is smoking what he's rolling, and there are tons of
folks out here that stand behind you 100%. Keep up the good work, and oh by the way, I
work for BP on NorthStar Island, stop by for lunch some time when I'm here, I'd really
like to meet you and talk polotics.

Governor

I had a very good meeting with Commissioner Kopp and Commissioner Kreitzer today. They are going to work
together on some steps they can take fairly quickly to help with recruiting and an issue with implementing VOIP
phones at DPS that Walt was not helping resolve. (DPS is the only state agency resisting the VOIP phones) If
we can get the issue fixed, we can probably avoid significant costs for ADMIN. We talked about a number of
other issues as well.

Basically, we made more progress in one hour with Commissioner Kopp on DPS issues than we were able to
make with Walt in months.

Governor Palin ,

First let me say that I appreciate your service to the State of Alaska. I was born and
raised in Alaska and have never been more pleased with any elected politician than you* I
don't know you personally, but believe that you are a woman of character and am proud to
have you as our Governor. I generally don't get too worked up about political slander. The
recent mud slinging regarding Public Safety Commisioner Monegan iritates me greatly. I

| want to say that, in situations like this, intelligent people consider the source and

don't jump to conclusions. I want to let you know that many/ many people are very happy
with the job you are doing and support you. You bring character and class to public office
and we can always use more of that. My wife and I will be praying that the Lord will
continue to grant you favor and that He will keep His hedge of protection around you and
your family. Again, thank you for your service.

Thank you so much. I had a good conversation with Kopp tonight - but for the life of me I will
never understand how this has become the most clustered issue in my two-yr-old administration.
Walt has shown his true colors - very sad and disappointing, and unacceptable if he misleads the
public at all on any aspect of any of this... as he already has with his false allegations that Frank,
Annette, Todd et al met with him and pressured trim. False.

United States. Microsoft's recent Canadian venture highlights a growing trend of U.S.
companies seeking available talented workers in offshore countries and keeping them there,
Much of this in-place outsourcing has to do with Washington's failure to provide sufficient
work permits to fill the pressing domestic need for skilled immigrant professionals. Making
matters worse, many of the immigrants who are unable to receive U.S. work permits have
been educated at American universities. The U.S. pours valuable resources into the
education of would-be immigrants, whose knowledge and skills ultimately benefit other
countries. The result is that the U.S. is missing out on substantial economic benefits by
refusing to grant work permits to skilled laborers, especially to those schooled here.

On July 10, Secretary Spellings announced the selection of 25 teachers for Teaching Ambassador
Fellowships with the U.S. Department of Education for 2008-09. Fiv e Washington Fellows
(Stephanie Canada, elementary physical education, Shawnee, OK; Jonathan Eckert, seventh-grade
science, FranHin, TNf; Steven Hicks, kindergarten and first-grade, Los Angeles, CA; Bobbi
Houtchens, high school English and English as a Second Language, San Bernardino, CA; and Julie
Shively, fourth- and fifth-grade gifted math, Lawrenceville, GA) will become full-line Department
employees in Washington, D.C, for one year, engaging in policy discussions, working with different

their classrooms and be paid for assignments throughout the school year on a part-time basis. "I
know we wiH benefit from the fellows' knowledge and experience in the classroom," the Secretary
said. 'While the Department offers multiple avenues for teachers to participate in policy
discussions, this is truly a unique opportunity. ... I hope it becomes part of the fabric at the U.S.
Department of Education for many years to come." More than 1,000 teachers across the U.S.
applied for the fellowships. Representing 22 states, all grade spans, and a range of subjects, fellows

The Department has published Fiscal Year 2008 Title I allocations by school district Under the No Child
Left Behind Act, districts must spend an amount equal to 20% of their Tide I> Part A allocation to cover
public school choice-related transportation costs and pay for supplemental educational services (SES).
Districts have some discretion to determine the allocation of funds between the activities, but they must use
at least one-quarter (5%) of the 20% "reservation" on each activity, if the cost of satisfying demand for each
exceeds 5%. Moreover, for each student receiving SES, districts ate required to pay the lesser of the actual
cost of such services or an amount equal to the district's Tide I, Part A allocation divided by the number of
poor children within the district, as determined by Census Bureau estimates. FOR MORE
INFORMATION, PLEASE GO T O http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/titid/fv08/ . (Note:
Due to state-level adjustments of Tide I allocations, the amounts received by districts will be smaller than
shown.)

Speaking of SES, on July 7, the Department's Office of Innovation and Improvement (Oil) announced a
new grant competition to encourage the establishment or expansion of partnerships between supplemental
educational services programs and 21st Century Community Learning Centers projects, in order to increase
the academic achievement of low-income students in Title I schools identified for improvement, correction
action, or restmcturing. Through this demonstration, Oil will fund proposals that wfll serve as national
models of how these two federally authorized after-school initiatives can be coordinated so that a greater
number of students enroll in, participate in, and complete academic after-school services. A "notice of
intent" to apply is due July 21, while the deadline for applications is August 12, FOR MORE
INFORMATION, PLEASE GO T O http://www.ed.gov/programs/sesdemo/ . (Note: In the near future,
the Department will be holding a technical assistance conference call for interested applicants. Details will
be posted on the program's web site.)

IDEA DETERMINATION LETTERS

As required by statute, the Department recentiy issued determination letters regarding states'
implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Each state was evaluated on key
indicators under Part B (ages 3 through 21) and Part C (infants through age 2) and placed into one of four
categories: meets requirements, needs assistance, needs intervention, and needs substantial intervention.
Staff carefully considered states' Annual Performance Reports, information obtained through monitoring
visits, and other public records. Overall, most states fell into the top two categories. Thirteen states earned
the highest rating for Part B, and 21 states earned the top rating for Part C. No states were in the lowest
category on either part. For states in the lower categories, the IDEA identifies technical assistance or
actions which the agency must take under specific circumstances. The Department will work with states
that need assistance or intervention using its network of technical assistance centers. New determination
letters are issued annually. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO

STUDENT LOANS GUIDE

The Department and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have published a consumer guide to help
students and their families navigate the maze of offers they may face when seeking new student loans or
consolidating existing loans to pay for higher education. The new guide, "Student Loans: Avoiding
Deceptive Offers," provides detailed information about the different benefits and terms of federal and
private loans, as well as tips on recognizing questionable practices. The guide also includes several resources
for information about student loans and filing a complaint against various types of lenders. "As we carry

STEM PROGRESS REPORT

This week, Tapping America's Potential (TAP), a coalition of 16 leading U.S. business organizations,
released a report assessing the progress made over the last three years toward the TAP goal of doubling the
number of students earning bachelors degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The
report, "Gaining Momentum, Losing Ground," indicates that, while the number of degrees rose early in the
decade (from 201,055 degrees in 2001 to 208,243 in 2002 and 220,360 in 2003), the number of degrees has
leveled off at about 225,000 per year — substantially off track of reaching 400,000 by 2015. The report also
updates TAP's recommendations for advancing U.S. competitiveness: boosting and sustaining funding for
basic research; reforming visa and immigration policies to enable the U.S. to attract and retain STEM
students from around the world; upgrading K-12 math and science teaching; and building public
understanding and support FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO

MONITORING AMERICAN CHILDREN

The 2008 edition of "America's Children: Key National Indicators of Weil-Being," compiled by the 22-
member Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, presents indicators in seven sections:
family and social environment, economic circumstances, health care, physical environment and safety >
behavior, education, and health. In 2007, the report cited under education, scores of fourth- and eighth-
graders on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) were higher in math than in all
previous assessments and higher in reading than in 2005. Other favorable changes: a decline in childhood
(ages 5-14) deaths from injuries (from 8.2 per 100,000 children in 2004 to 7.7 per 100,000 in 2005) and a
decrease in the percentage of eighth-graders who smoked daily (from 10% in 1996 to 4% in 2006 and 3% in
2007). On the other hand, there was an increase in low birth weight infants (less than five pounds, eight
ounces), and the birth rate among adolescent girls (ages 15-17) increased for the first time in 15 years. FOR

Can you blind copy me in when you send this?

I absolutely cannot remember a single instance where I contacted Walt Monegan
over Trooper Wooten. The report I saw tonight claiming otherwise is false.
I've only had a handful of conversations with the Former Commissioner, and

Subject: RE: Bob Tkacz

Governor,

As you know, the fish came \n very hard in early July, with a catch of. 2.6 million fish in a single day. This
led to limits and shutdowns as processors struggled to keep up. After the season, we will have ADF&G's
best guess of how many fish went unharvested due to these limits. We have foreign owned processors in
the bay now (shorebased) and we have floaters (U.S. owned). We just don't have any foreign owned
floaters. It's not that big of a leap, they just require a different permit. Also, even our existing processors
have told us that they do not mind competition as long as everyone is on a level playing field. I have also
reminded the press that we met with processors prior to the season to encourage them to bring as much
capacity as possible to the bay and also worked with some of our contacts to find out if there was foreign
interest out there. We didn't get any applications for this season for foreign floaters, but what I have tokJ
people is that when the 2009 forecast comes out in November if we are expecting another big year, we
will do everything possible to be sure that fishermen have the opportunity to harvest that resource. We
will let it be known far and wide that there is an opportunity for investment in our seafood industry here in
Alaska and we will work with interested folks to get that capacity here. We can use our Office of
Economic Development, our International Trade people, and other contacts we have to get the word out
There is no doubt that many existing companies did step up and increase capacity, just as they told us
they would. However, there is also no doubt that it still was not enough and more investment in that
region is needed if large runs continue.

I did talk with Bob for about 35 minutes the other day and provided him with much of this information.

After several discussions with Capitol Hill - staff, I think it might be a good idea for

provisions in that bill*

it might be a good idea = for you to talk with 'Mr. Boehner about whether this would be

If this makes sense, I'll await your interaction^ with Congressman Boehner and his

Hey Sarah, I took the trouble to write the letter to the editor in ADN in which I declared
that even though I did not vote for you that you were a humble hick. I said some nice
things about you* Lately you have been preoccupied with being vice president and you lost
your focus on your present commitment as governor. You have to do some MAJOR damage
control NOW regarding the cop. Sometimes the right thing to do is the hardest thing. Now
is your time to shine. Dont get me wrong, I dont like cops. I beat up a few troopers (they
had long hair) so I am no angel. If you are as smart as you seem to be you better strike .
like lightning. We are all human. Make peace with your adversaries any ways possible. The
late Ed Merdes always told me that when he had a difficult decision to make he talked to
Jesus as if he were sitting next to him and he would ask him what to do. I know you will

Governor Palin —

My heart is so WITH you right now with all this nonsense out about your former brother in
law and your firing of Monegan. When I first read Halcro I have to admit that I initially
reacted with, "How dare she!" ("She" being you.) Then I read more and I just felt
embarrassed for your whole family, and embarrassed for reading what I did.

I don't understand the situation with Monegan, but he elicited an emotional response. The
Troopers are now being spoken. of with the same reverence as the 911 firefighters. We have
good ones and bad ones — what can we say about them? We also have a state budget with
Medicare cuts on the federal level, fatal car wrecks and all kinds of stress happening all
over the place. I hope this blows over for you soon* I don't know if you are really
worried or not, but I'm sure you know this — no matter how well you do things, someone
some place will still perceive a flaw and harp.

PRA GSP01 0021236

All the best to your sister — this has a high wince factor for her, does it not? There
should have been more investigation by the press before they ran with this but the
bloggers got wind and blew it up.

I will send you good vibes for your picnics this weekend and may try to come by with the
kids!

I told him that I would go on camera or at least do a phoner. I also offered up Frank and

Mike Ross

Governor-

I spoke to Mike Ross a few minutes ago. He wanted to confirm what I had told Channel 2
earlier that no one from the administration pressured Monegan about Wooten. He
specifically asked about Frank and Annette. Walt is going to name them on the 10.

I told him that I would go on camera or at least do a phoner. I also offered up Frank and
Annette. He said it was too late in the editing process and they will uise your clips'. I
have tried unsuccessfully all night to reach Annette. I talked with her husband, left
message with Rachael and called her hotel - no luck.

I made it quite clear that Walt's accusations were total CRAP.

It's imperative that we speak to Alaskans* questions today re: DPS. Please trust me that the best path forward, in fairness to
the public and consistent with an open government without anything to hide, is for me to be freed up to speak - especially
now that Walt has chosen to speak erroneously about his dismissal.

Sharon, instead of staffing the picnic today, please cont to work with Randy, Annette, Karen, Mike, and others, on
contacting press/public with messaging that proves I have nothing to hide; proves the legitimate reasons for the need to go in
a better direction w DPS; proves this had nothing to do with Wooten, etc.

I desire to speak to the public on this. IVe never gone the "no comment" route before and I wont do it now. Again,
circumstances have changed in the way this issue is to be handled because our assumption that Walt would not like public
discussion of his leadership was wrong, he's obviously chosen to publicly air (through the union, evidently) his false
allegations.

Also, law makers are insistent in hearing more. No fear of their proposed investigation, but I'd rather save them time and
resources and go directly to them and the public on a much more transparent path re: this issue.

Sharon- pis let reporters know (assuming they show up at the Anchorage picnic as they did at the WasiBa picnic) that I
desire to speak for myself on this issue and, again, have nothing to hide.

Randy and Karen are working on summary re: budget increases we proposed (versus dps claim last night that WE cut it so
drastically that troopers won*t be paid their overtime); vacant positions w no action to recruit; battle over the word "integrity"
we desired in his contract negotiations that he did not want included (Annette- pis provide more details on that for Randy);
false allegations that I or anyone else pressured him to fire Wooten (even falsely accusing folks of even discussing the issue
with him); etc, including many other issues.

Please let me know where folks are able to contribute in this effort Randy and Mike will be centerpoint on this today as I'm
meetin' and greetin' Alaskans at the picnic. They'll be working with Sharon to allow me more pro-active contact with the
media today on this.

Also- Kelly, we're more than happy to speak with Hollis on this, he seems to be the spokesperson for leggies on this.

Reading the comment in ADN today is disturbing re: "refusal" to speak about Walt, even if leggies ask.

1 ) I am not hesitant to speak, but have tried to respect Walt's assumed desire for zero public scrutiny (but look where that's
getting us), thus we've left it with a general message of the change at DPS. That must be better explained. I'd stand up in a
second and explain his dismissal if my explanations thus far are not sufficient (ie, recruitment, bootlegging that Walt could
have focused on with his new job offer he turned down, more energy and action needed in DPS half-way through the term be
mere's not a lot of time left to make a difference, etc). My belief has been that Walt would NOT have wanted me to talk
publicly about his dismissal.

2) We can never say we'd not talk about this, "no matter who asks". If leggies ask via an investigation, of course we speak.

In fact, if leggies ask via any venue, of course we speak and give them the reasons. Walt obviously doesn't mind the public
discussion at this point, and his untruths must be countered at the same time. This is imperative or Kopp will NOT have the
support of the dept and will NOT be given the opportunity to succeed as commissioner.

So this perception needs to be cleared up asap - 1 do not fear any investigation - but it would be used as a distraction,
obviously, and is not needed if we're just given the opportunity to lay to rest any speculation spurred by leggies, Walt, the
union, critics, or whomever is stirring this.

I do appreciate the adn reported the fact that we INCREASED dps budget- leggies cut it (glad they got that right finally!),
as opposed to the union leadership on ktva last night insisting that we cut their budget $2.5 million, and the reporter not
chalieneging that at ail!

I am happy to more publicly address all of this be it would run counter to "open govt" now that Walt has spoken
untruthfully about the Wooten issue (esp claims that Todd met w him more than once, Annette's and Frank's alleged
meetings, my alleged February discussion with Walt, all of our "pressure", etc.)

Good Morning,

Any way I can help. The story seems to be about a dirty cop who should have been tired. The public will see this
because the Union is speaking out and obviously orchestrating and attack in support of Walt. DOC just deaned-
up the CO ranks and I have numbers to back it up. Calendar year 07 we did 54 investigations, 26 of which
resulted in discipline and 4 ended in firings. 7 others quit So far this year, we have had 2, none involving
workplace misconduct, no one fired. The Union may not like me, but we're clean. We pushed recruitment and
filled all of the 737 CO positions, and the Gov's request (approved by legislature) for this year is 786. Increases
like no other time in our history. I lost a great deal of respect this morning, I think you all know what I mean.

meetings, my alleged February discussion with Walt, all of our "pressure", etc.)

It's imperative that we speak to Alaskans 1 questions today re: DPS. Please trust me that
the best path forward, in fairness to the public and consistent with an open government
without anything to hide, is for me to be freed up to speak - especially now that Walt has
chosen to speak erroneously about his dismissal.

Sharon, instead of staffing the picnic today, please cont to work with Randy, Annette,
Karen, Mike, and others, on contacting press/public with messaging that proves I have
nothing to hide; proves the legitimate reasons for the need to go in a better direction w
DPS; proves this had nothing to do with Wooten, etc.

I desire to speak to the public on this. I've never gone the "no comment" route before
and I won't do it now. Again, circumstances have changed in the way this issue is to be
handled because our assumption that Walt would not like public discussion of his
leadership was wrong, he's obviously chosen to publicly air (through the union, evidently)
his false allegations.

Also, law makers are insistent in hearing more. No fear of their proposed
investigation, but I T d rather save them time and resources and go directly to them and the
public on a much more transparent path re: this issue.

Sharon- pis let reporters know (assuming they show up at the Anchorage picnic as they
did at the Wasilla picnic) that I desire to speak for myself on this issue and, again,
have nothing to hide.

Randy and Karen are working on summary re: budget increases we proposed (versus dps
claim last night that WE cut it so drastically that troopers won't be paid their
overtime); vacant positions w no action to recruit; battle over the word "integrity" we

desired in his contract negotiations that he did not want included (Annette- pis provide
more details on that for Randy); false allegations that I or anyone else pressured him to
fire Wooten (even falsely accusing folks of even discussing the issue with him) ; etc,
including many other issues.

Please let me know where folks are able to contribute in this effort. Randy and Mike
will be centerpoint on this today as I'm raeetin' and greetin T Alaskans at the picnic.
They'll be working with Sharon to allow me more pro-active contact with the media today on

Reading the comment in
leggies ask.

ADN today is disturbing re: "refusal" to speak about Walt, even if

1) I am not hesitant to speak, but have tried to respect Walt's assumed desire for zero
public scrutiny (but look where that's getting us), thus we've left it with a general
message of the change at DPS. That must be better explained. I'd stand up in a second and
explain his dismissal if my explanations thus far are not sufficient (ie, recruitment,
bootlegging that Walt could have focused on with his new job offer he turned down, more
energy and action needed in DPS half-way through the term be there's not a lot of time
left to make a difference, etc) . My belief has been that Walt would NOT have wanted me to
talk publicly about his dismissal.

2) We can never say we'd not talk about this, "no matter who asks". If leggies ask via
an investigation, of course we speak. In fact, if leggies ask via any venue, of course we
speak and give them the reasons. Walt obviously doesn't mind the public discussion at this
point, and his untruths must be countered at the same time. This is imperative or Kopp
will NOT have the support of the dept and will NOT be given the opportunity to succeed as
commissioner.

So this perception needs to be cleared up asap - I do not fear any investigation - but
it would be used as a distraction, obviously, and is not needed if we're just given the
opportunity to lay to rest any speculation spurred by leggies, Walt, the union, critics,
or whomever is stirring this.

I do appreciate the adn reported the fact that we INCREASED dps budget- leggies cut it
(glad they got that right finally!), as opposed to the union leadership on ktva last night

insisting that we cut their budget $2.5 million, and the reporter not challeneging that at
all!

Reading the comment in ADN today is disturbing re: "refusal" to speak about Wait, even if

leggies ask.

i

1) I am not hesitant to speak, but have tried to respect Walt's assumed desire for zero
public scrutiny (but look where that's getting us), thus we've left it with a general
message of the change at DPS. That must be better explained. I'd stand up in a second and
explain his dismissal if my explanations thus far are not sufficient (ie, recruitment,
bootlegging that Walt could have focused on with his new job offer he turned down, more
energy and action needed in DPS half-way through the term be there's not a lot of time
left to make a difference, etc) * My belief has been that Walt would NOT have wanted me to
talk publicly about his dismissal.

2) We can never say we'd not talk about this, "no matter who asks". If leggies ask via
an investigation, of course we speak. In fact, if leggies ask via any venue, of course we
speak and give them the reasons. Walt obviously doesn't mind the public discussion at this
point, and his untruths must be countered at the same time. This is imperative or Kopp
will NOT have the support of the dept and will NOT be given the opportunity to succeed as
commissioner .

So this perception needs to be cleared up asap - I do not fear any investigation - but
it would be used as a distraction, obviously, and is not needed if we're just given the
opportunity to lay to rest any speculation spurred by leggies, Walt, the union, critics,
or whomever is stirring this.

I do appreciate the adn reported the fact that we INCREASED dps budget- leggies cut it
(glad they got that right finally!), as opposed to the union leadership on ktva last night
insisting that we cut their budget $2.5 million, and the reporter not challeneging that at
all!

I am happy to more publicly address all of this be it would run counter to "open
govt" now that Walt has spoken untruthfully about the Wooten issue (esp claims that Todd
met w him more than once, Annette's and Frank's alleged meetings, my alleged February
discussion with Walt, all of our "pressure", etc.)

Subject: Today's Reporters

It's imperative that we speak to Alaskans' questions today re: DPS. Please trust me that

the best path forward, in fairness to the public and consistent with an open government
without anything to hide, is for me to be freed up to speak - especially now that Walt has
chosen to speak erroneously about his dismissal.

PRA GSP01 0021289

Sharon, instead of staffing the picnic today, please cont to work with Randy, Annette,
Karen, Mike, and others, on contacting press/public with messaging that proves I have
nothing to hide; proves the legitimate reasons for the need to go in a better direction w
DPS; proves this had nothing to do with Wooten, etc.

I desire to speak to the public on this. I've never gone the "no comment" route before
and I won't do it now. Again, circumstances have changed in the way this issue is to be
handled because our assumption that Walt would not like public discussion of his
leadership was wrong, he's obviously chosen to publicly air (through the union, evidently)
his false allegations.

Also> law makers are insistent in hearing more. No fear of their proposed
investigation, but I'd rather save them time and resources and go directly to them and the
public on a much more transparent path re: this issue.

Sharon- pis let reporters know (assuming they show up at the Anchorage picnic as they
did at the Wasilla picnic) that I desire to speak for myself on this issue and, again,
have nothing to hide.

Randy and Karen are working on summary re: budget increases we proposed (versus dps
claim last night that WE cut it so drastically that troopers won't be paid their
overtime); vacant positions w no action to recruit; battle over the word "integrity" we
desired in his contract negotiations that he did not want included (Annette- pis provide
more details on that for Randy) ; false allegations that I or anyone else pressured him to
fire Wooten (even falsely accusing folks of even discussing the issue with him); etc,
including many other issues.

Please let me know where folks are able to contribute in this effort. Randy and Mike
will be centerpoint on this today as I'm meetin* and greetin' Alaskans at the picnic.
They'll be working with Sharon to allow me more pro-active contact with the media today on
this.

Also- Kelly, we're more than happy to speak with Hollis on this, he seems to be the
spokesperson for leggies on this.

Thanks Karen.

Please let me know if I understand this correctly.

On the issue of the $2.5 million dollar operating budget reduction for DPS that keeps
getting mentioned, I believe what reporters and the union are getting at is the
announcement we made in May, 2008, when vetoes were released that we were setting a target
of a $20 million reduction to the operating budget for all our commissioners.

DPS* share of the goal of a $20 million reduction in operating costs ended up around $2.5
million.

Is the best way to explain this that we expect all our commissioners to be fiscally
responsible and actively manage their departments for savings. The goal was set to
provide some direction to commissioners and motivate them as to what we hoped they could
accomplish in managing their budget over the next 12 month budget period for FY 2009.

Other commissioners are trying to manage their budgets in a more fiscally responsible
manner to try and reach the target, DPS is an agency that we also wanted to try and manage
their budget to find out what they can achieve.

Basically, commissioners were challenged to work harder on their budgets and find savings
where they could and meet their targets. I don't think the intent was to make agencies
take drastic steps to achieve their targets that would hurt the mission of the department

Governor,

Hawker contacted our office and we kindly let him know that this was a personnel issue and
we did not have any additional info. This was discussed with Nizich as well.

If we do decide to tell Legislators more now we should proably bring in Talis for legal
guidance .

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

No. 08-123

Governor Announces New Direction for Department of Public Safety

July 19, 2008, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin and Public Safety Commissioner
Chuck Kopp today outlined a new direction for the Department of Public Safety. The
Governor has directed Commissioner Kopp to focus on working cooperatively with state
agencies, the military and other entities to expand the pool of applicants to fill vacant
trooper positions and formulate an action plan to deal with rural crime issues .

PRA GSP01 0021304

W I am committed to bringing a balanced managerial and leadership perspective to the
Department of Public Safety," said Kopp. W I will help form and then carry out the policy
set forth by the Office of the Governor and meet the mission and needs of the department.

rt

Highlights of the plan include:

*£

%

Efficiently using trooper resources and filling vacancies. One example is to
reclassify existing open trooper job positions to job classes (Court Services and
investigative support positions) that are more easily filled, allowing troopers to
carrying out a full range of public safety services.

* Comprehensively review the issues of alcohol and drug abuse and crime, particularly
in rural Alaska. Additionally, consider adding manpower for alcohol and drug interdiction
efforts.

*; Cooperatively work with state and federal agencies and other entities as part of a
multi-agency effort that focuses on outreach, education, treatment and prevention, and law
enforcement as part of an answer to alcohol and drug abuse prevention problems in rural
Alaska.

* Establish strong lateral communications between departments to accomplish the
mission of each department and to assist those agencies in meeting their missions.

* Establish a recruiting effort focusing on returning National Guard troops and other
military service members, VPSO f s and Alaska Natives.

PRA GSP01 0021305

Increase training for troopers and VPSO' s

* Propose legislation that will slow the flow of alcohol to rural Alaska, particularly
communities that have voted to restrict alcohol. One example would be reducing the amount
of alcohol that can be shipped by written orders into rural Alaska.

W I have high expectations and confidence in Commissioner Kopp' s ability to lead the
department in this new direction," Governor Palin said. w His willingness to think outside
the box and find new ways to work cooperatively with state agencies will improve the
public safety of all Alaskans."

RE: Summary of Gov sponsored or approved DPS capital budget projects

I have repeated this message to the media over and over. Letting them know that the
governor asked agencies to find efficiencies last year, this year and will likely ask
again next year. I have explained the $20 million is a target savings goal and it is not
the governor's goal to cut positions. 1 also reminded reporters about the increased $ we
asked the legislature for (for DPS) - and how they funded roughly half -don't have the
exact figure 1 front of me - was referencing an earlier email from Karen.

?

A written statement would be good. On my way in.

Thanks Karen.

Please let me know if I understand this correctly.

On the issue of the $2.5 million dollar operating budget reduction for DPS that keeps
getting mentioned, X believe what reporters and the union are getting at is the
announcement we made in May, 2008, when vetoes were released that we were setting a target
of a $20 million reduction to the operating budget for all our commissioners.

DPS' share of the goal of a $20 million reduction in operating costs ended up around $2.5
million.

Is the best way to explain this that we expect all our commissioners to be fiscally
responsible and actively manage their departments for savings. The goal was set to
provide some direction to commissioners and motivate them as to what we hoped they could
accomplish in managing their budget over the next 12 month budget period for FY 2009.

Other commissioners are trying to manage their budgets in a more fiscally responsible
manner to try and reach the target, DPS is an agency that we also wanted to try and manage
their budget to find out what they can achieve.

Basically, commissioners were challenged to work harder on their budgets and find savings
where they could and meet their targets. I don't think the intent was to make agencies
take drastic steps to achieve their targets that would hurt the mission of the department

Subject: Royalty oil

I would bet that at least one of a handful of people in Fairbanks will ask about using our royalty oil to fix the
energy/home heating oil crisis. Richard Tilly, Lisa Peger, and Jim Weidner have all been advocates of this approach
at one point or another.

Richard Tilly is a local contractor who took the time to put together a fairly detailed proposal and set of figures. It
was, in turn, sent to Commissioner Irwin by Rep. Kawasaki for review. We are very close to having an equally
detailed response explaining why that approach can f t and won't work.

The bottom line is that a judicial decision suggests strongly that we can't sell royalty oil for less than we would
receive than if we took it in value.

Beyond that, much of our royalty oil is already under contract to Flint Hills, but even if we were to take it all in kind
and sell it for less, it is unlikely to have the intended effect. There is more oil refined in Alaska than we have in
royalty. We would have to subsidize non-royalty oil in order to get all heating oil, diesel, and gasoline produced in
Alaska down to the same price.

This will all be explained to Rep Kawasaki, Mr Tilly, and anybody else who asks about it in short order. We can
take names and addresses for those who are interested and send them the details and report.

Subject: Response to Issues Regarding LNG Export License & Economics from AGPA

Dear Governor Palin, Senate President Green, Speaker Harris, Members of the Alaska State
Legislature, Commissioner Irwin, Commissioner Galvin, Deputy Commissioner Rutherford and
Joe Balash

As you return to Juneau for the final debate and vote on AGIA, I would like to succinctly address
a few points regarding the All-Alaska gasline / LNG project. Several of these are considered by
some to be stumbling blocks for this project The facts, data, economics, and existing license and
agreements suggest that there are no insurmountable hurdles to a successful LNG project that
could expeditiously provide much needed gas to Alaskans.

Economics

It has been suggested an LNG project would have inferior economics to a Canadian project.
Because of the superior pricing environment in Asia, an LNG project at like volumes will have a
superior netback and net present value to a Canadian project in all reasonable scenarios. A
smaller 2.7 bci/d LNG project has a higher projected netback than a larger Canadian line in most
scenarios (with the exception primarily of very strong North American and very weak Asian gas
price scenarios). Both the EconOne (page 46) and Port Authority analyses support the above
conclusions.

Export License

Neither the Port Authority nor its Fortune 500 partners believe exporting North Slope gas will be

9/18/2009

PRA GSP01 0021315

Page 2 of 2

an insunnountable hurdle. In 1989 DOE granted YPC an export license for LNG from Valdez. In its
detailed and comprehensive decision DOE rejected virtually all of the arguments that a party would
make in opposition to an export license. Consequently, there are significant reasons to believe either: 1)
YPC's existing export license will be honored by DOE; or 2) if not honored that a new license will be
issued. Counsel for the Port Authority has prepared a 12 page report on the applicable law which, along
with the relevant DOE precedent, are available upon request. Legislators are encouraged to review this
material to get a feel for DOE's decision making process and how strong a presumption at the federal
level there is for allowing export. Legislators are encouraged to review this material to gain an insight
into the DOE's decision making process and an appreciation for the strong presumption at the federal
level for allowing export.

These are historic times and monumental decisions of generational import on how to move Alaska's gas
to market and to Alaskans. What a privilege it is for each of us - project sponsors, administrators,
consultants and decision maker alike - to be a participant in this process. As stewards of Alaska's
resources, we know you will leave no stone unturned or any opportunity ignored in these decisive final
hours. As always, if I can provide any additional information or answer any questions, do not hesitate to

email me or call me at 278-7000 (office) or 223-8530 (cell).

RE: Loss of down fishing time and resources

Dear Governor Palin and Commissioner Lloyd;

I would like to place an important option to your immediate attention, regarding our fishing and
fishing community's futures. We all agree these two are in distress from management decisions
of the past and in my humble opinion it's time to re-engineer a better promise for a brighter
future. We should never think we are subject to foreign processing in order to achieve high goals
for Alaska and All Alaskans.

I would like to see Alaska's Western CDQ communities take the lead to band together to
organize Village based processes unique to an individual community. For example, picture
portable containers, that house a particular process and can be ready shipped and assembles, as a
community requires. The corner stone would be in fisherman's handling such as H&G bleed fish
on board, chilled and delivered to filleting and packaging operations ready to expedite from the
water to the dinner tables in as short of time as possible to insure consumer quality. We have
drafted plans to such operations for your review. As filleting is grasped and a new process such
as commercial smoking or canning is needed, the operation container can be barged in to snap
onto an established and working process.

It is believed by some we need to construct multi-million dollar operations that require much
investment all at once. This is not the case if we look towards the future and micro manage our
movements to develop success stories around Western Alaska where much needed economic
development is surly needed. I could really talk long and hard on this area as Togiak with it's
monopolized fish processors that pay 50 cents a pound for fish that grabs a much higher value as
it journeys outward to the benefit of other states citizenry and a huge loss for Alaskans.

PRA GSP01 0021317

Page 2 of 2

The answer isn't found in foreign processors but in the hearts of all Alaskans who want and deserve a
better future. I say let's work together to make it happen as we re-tool our thinking and perspective to
micro processing in Western Alaska. These processing stations would insure less shut down and loss of
valuable fishing time as well as convert profit processes to build economic stability in Western Alaska's
poorest communities. The dinosaurs of the past must be streamlined into processes that can be added for
resource development for of local customary process marketable into many areas and uses. For example,
human or pet consumption as well as fish oil markets for Omega III in vitamin markets etc.

Okay, I believe we have all worked and thought on these things but I would like to see sleeves roll up
and minds come together to solve and build better solutions. We shouldn't have the problems in the
fishing/processing industry in Alaska we have today with loss of fishing time with a result of economic
loss in Alaska's communities. Let's hold a CDQ Communities Fishing/Processing Summit to put ideas
into action for better seasons to come. Let's not look to outside help and resources to develop what
belongs to Alaskans. Let's work to set the pace and establish a fair market price for Alaskan's and
Alaskan resources. I have seen the markets and have much respect for micro processing in Alaska,
please help others and me relize a dream unique to Western Alaskans.

Thank you for your time and thoughts in tins matter. As I will be out fishing tomorrow I will e-mail this
proposal letter with a hard copy to follow for your records.

Subject: Response to Issues Regarding LNG Export License & Economics from AGPA

Dear Governor Palin, Senate President Green, Speaker Harris, Members of the Alaska State
Legislature, Commissioner Irwin, Commissioner Galvin, Deputy Commissioner Rutherford and
Joe Balash

i

As you return to Juneau for the final debate and vote on AGIA, I would like to succinctly
address a few points regarding the All-Alaska gasline / LNG project. Several of these are
considered by some to be stumbling blocks for this project. The facts, data, economics,
and existing license and agreements suggest that there are no insurmountable hurdles to a
successful LNG project that could expeditiously provide much needed gas to Alaskans*

Economics

It has been suggested an LNG project would have inferior economics to a Canadian project
Because of the superior pricing environment in Asia, an LNG project at like volumes will
have a superior netback and net present value to a Canadian project in all reasonable
scenarios. A smaller 2.7 bcf/d LNG project has a higher projected netback than a larger
Canadian line in most scenarios (with the exception primarily of very strong North
American and very weak Asian gas price scenarios) . Both the EconOne (page 46) and Port
Authority analyses support the above conclusions.

Export License

.i
s

Neither the Port Authority nor its Fortune 500 partners believe exporting North Slope gas
will be an insurmountable hurdle. In 1989 DOE granted YPC an export license for LNG from
Valdez. In its detailed and comprehensive decision DOE rejected virtually all of the
arguments that a party would make in opposition to an export license. Consequently,
there are significant reasons to believe either: 1) YPC's existing export license will be

honored by DOE; or 2) if hot honored that a new license will be issued. Counsel for the

Port Authority has prepared a 12 page report on the applicable law which, along with the
relevant DOE precedent, are available upon request. Legislators are encouraged to review

2

PRA GSP01 0021322

this material to get a feel for DOE's decision making process and how strong a presumption
at the federal level there is for allowing export. Legislators are encouraged to review
this material to gain an insight into the DOE's decision making process and an
appreciation for the strong presumption at the federal level for allowing export.

These are historic times and monumental decisions of generational import on how to move

Alaska's gas to market and to Alaskans. What a privilege it is for each of us — project

sponsors, administrators, consultants and decision maker alike - to be a participant in
this process. As stewards of Alaska's resources, we know you will leave no stone unturned
or any opportunity ignored in these decisive final hours. As always, if I can provide any
additional information or answer any questions, do not hesitate to email me or call me at
278-7000 (office) or 223-8530 (cell).

In general, all three members of the Congression- al delegation support roads that facilitate
natural resource development = or promote commerce between villages.

I presume that "E-W n means a road that would - approximate an East- West corridor and might
intersect with a = North-South artery. If so, the closest specific approximation that I = can think
of is Senator Stevens 1 previous support for a road corridor in = the Gates of the Arctic Boot, that
is, a road that would traverse the = southern portion of the Brooks Range. If you can confirm
that I'm on = the right track with the reference to E-W, I'll make a specific inquiry to = the
Senator and his staff.

There may be one complication. If federal = lands are involved, the applicant would probably
need to use Title XI of - ANILCA, relating to transportation and utility corridors. These =
provisions are extremely cumbersome and bureaucratic and have never been - used previously
for this purpose.

* -O.

I hope that your visit with Congressman = Boehner's entourage was a good one. Any thoughts or

- necessary follow-up in the aftermath?

Subject: Outstanding parking tickets for William Bennnett Peirce

Importance: High

Enclosed is yet another document that I found and took the time out of my life to do CSED job. This I
found not only in 2008; but also first discovered it in 2005.

I was hoping that my case worker would do her job and submit this to the MOA which she never did nor
did she ever research this site.

s

When is my CSED case worker going to do her job?

It is too bad that I am not getting paid to do her job since I have no job, money, and am now having to
move back with my parents in Dillingham, Alaska.

Since I became partially disabled in an MVA in 1999 it has been a hardship on me since I am not able to
make the money that I use too.

Any comments?

Thank you once again for your time.

Per Rosanne and Sharon, this statement went out awhile ago to Megan Holland at the ADN.

Former Commissioner Monegan has asked several questions of me through reporter Megan
Holland. My response to those questions follows:

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware he had several various plans in the works related to
staffing and recruitment and retention. Like the legislature, I was focused and aware of
a lack of results in recruiting and retention. Action and results, not words are the
bottom line. For nearly two years there were very high numbers of vacancies in the
troopers with nearly 1 in 7 positions being unfilled. There were 56 vacancies as of June
30, 2008. I was also aware that regardless of any plans of Mr. Monegan' s, no new
positions would be approved by the legislature until vacancies were filled, which made it
even more important to get the job done.

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware of a draft 2007 annual report. I was aware of the
draft and in fact, had several questions about it that Mr. Monegan never answered. My
special assistant and Chief -of-Staff were also reviewing the draft. The fact that Mr.
Monegan prepared a detailed draft written report of the troopers' activities in 2007 does
not change the bottom line or lack of results under Mr. Monegan.

Mr. Monegan has suggested that I did not meet with him. This is wrong. In addition to
several face-to-face meetings, Walt and I spent much more time together discussing the
future and direction of public safety, and my desire for immediate action. Remember that
Walt and I had many opportunities, dozens of discussions at events throughout the state,
including one-on-one time together on the state's plane traveling to the bush. That's in
addition to every cabinet meeting, every reception, other trips, and phone calls that I
personally had with Walt. To suggest that he had four opportunities with me in 17 months
to discuss public safety is untruthful. Also notable, are the meetings and conversations
that my staff had with Walt on my behalf, including meetings and conversations with fellow
Commissioners, the Chief -of-Staff , Deputy Chief-of-Staf f , Attorney General, Special
Assistants, etc. There is not one instance where Walt was turned down for a

meeting, a phone call, or any type of conversation.

While I have been busy with AGIA, I pay attention and take care of the state's business on
all other fronts as well, and will continue to do so.

to discuss public safety is untruthful. Also notable, are the meetings and conversations
that my staff had with Walt on my behalf, including meetings and conversations with fellow

Assistants, etc. There is not one instance where Walt was turned down for a

all other fronts as well, and will continue to do so.

Governor - 1 can not verify the exact number of trips without looking at the whole scheduling file. I can not get into
the calendar system that we used prior to outlook without going into the office and looking through the hard copies.
I will gladly go in to look through scheduling but this will take* some time and that would probably not include the
cabinet meetings, etc. Janice

First, regarding the number of meetings IVe had with Walt over the last year and a half, in addition to several face-to-face
meetings, Walt and I spent

much more time together discussing the future and direction of public safety, and my desire for immediate action.
Remember that Walt and 1 had many opportunities, dozens of discussions at events throughout the state, including four trips
to rural Alaska seated together on the plane. During those trips to Bethel, New Stu (twice), and Dillingham, we also spent
our days together. That's in addition to every cabinet meeting, every reception, other trips, and phone calls that IVe
personally had with Walt. To suggest that he had four face-to-face meetings with me in 17 months to discuss public safety is
untruthful. Also notable, are the meetings and conversations that my staff had with Wah, on my behalf, including meetings
and conversations with fellow Commissioners, the Chief-of-Staff, Deputy Chief-of-Staff, Attorney General, Special
Assistants, etc. There is not one instance where Walt was turned down for a meeting, a phone call, or any type of
conversation.

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware that he had several various plans in the works related to staffing and recruitment and
retention. I would assume those plans are the same ones we discussed in those events and meetings, during Cabinet
meetings, and on the plane, among other places. Those plans mirrored my thoughts and ideas to get more troopers and tackle
the alcohol problem. Thaf s why the ideas remain behind Kopp - only I expect immediate action in this new direction, not
just another reminder of our plans . Regarding the draft 2007 annual report. My staff has advised that a copy of a lengthy
draft report was provided by him for review by the special assistant and Chief-of-Staff. Again, though, Pm ready for results.
And so are the people of this state.

AGIA has been appropriately time consuming. AGIA is our future; the gasline is the financial security for the future of our
state. The revenue from the gasline will pay for our essentials, including public safety. However, the time spent on AGIA
over the last year and a half has not been to the detriment of ANY department or its missions... and all the more reason to
have high expectations that I have self-starters and results-oriented cabinet members.

Per Rosanne and Sharon, this statement went out awhile ago to Megan Holland at the ADN.

Former Commissioner Monegan has asked several questions of me through reporter Megan Holland. My response to those
questions follows:

Mr. Monegan has asked if 1 was aware he had several various plans in the works related to staffing and recruitment and
retention. Like the legislature, I was focused and aware of a lack of results in recruiting and retention. Action and results,
not words are the bottom line. For nearly two years there were very high numbers of vacancies in the troopers with nearly 1
in 7 positions being unfilled. There were 56 vacancies as of June 30, 2008. I was also aware that regardless of any plans of
Mr. Monegan's, no new positions would be approved by the legislature until vacancies were filled, which made h even more
important to get the job done.

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware of a draft 2007 annual report I was aware of the draft and in fact, had several
questions about it that Mr. Monegan never answered. My special assistant and Chief-of-Staff were also reviewing the draft.
The fact that Mr. Monegan prepared a detailed draft written report of the troopers' activities in 2007 does not change the
bottom line or lack of results under Mr. Monegan.

Mr. Monegan has suggested that I did not meet with him. This is wrong, m addition to several face-to-face meetings, Walt
and I spent much more time together discussing the future and direction of public safety, and my desire for immediate
action. Remember that Walt and I had many opportunities, dozens of discussions at events throughout the state, including
one-on-one time together on the state's plane traveling to the bush. That's in addition to every cabinet meeting, every

Staff, Attorney General, Special Assistants, etc. There is not one instance where WaR was turned down for a

Subject: RE: Statement

Most of the statement is in the there toward the bottom - 1 had switched the order of paragraphs to
emphasize what was most important and that is the number of times that you've met with Walt The main
thing missing is a summary of your four trips seated together to rural Alaska and your days together in
Bethel, New Stu (twice), and Dillingham. Also, we reworked the last statement re: AGIA

Below is what you approved Governor - for use tomorrow by anyone who needs to reiterate your points.

Thanks,
Meg

First, regarding the number of meetings Fve had with Walt over the last year and a half, in
addition to several face-to-face meetings, Walt and I spent

much more time together discussing the future and direction of public safety, and my desire for
immediate action- Remember that Walt and I had many opportunities, dozens of discussions at
events throughout the state, including four trips to rural Alaska seated together on the plane.
During those trips to Bethel, New Stu (twice), and Dillingham, we also spent our days together.
That's in addition to every cabinet meeting, every reception, other trips, and phone calls that Fve
personally had with Walt. To suggest that he had four face-to-face meetings with me in 17
months to discuss public safety is untruthfiil. Also notable, are the meetings and conversations
that my staff had with Walt, on my behalf, including meetings and conversations with fellow
Commissioners, the Chief-of-Staff, Deputy Chief-of-Staff, Attorney General, Special Assistants,
etc. There is not one instance where Walt was turned down for a meeting* a phone call, or any
type of conversation.

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware that he had several various plans in the works related to
staffing and recruitment and retention. I would assume those plans are the same ones we
discussed in those events and meetings, during Cabinet meetings, and on the plane, among other
places. Those plans mirrored my thoughts and ideas to get more troopers and tackle the alcohol
problem. That's why the ideas remain behind Kopp - only I expect immediate action in this new
direction, not just another reminder of our plans. Regarding the draft 2007 annual report. My
staff has advised that a copy of a lengthy draft report was provided by him for review by the

special assistant and Chief-of-Staff. Again, though, I'm ready for results. And so are the people of this
state.

AGI A has been appropriately time consuming. AGIA is our future; the gasline is the financial security
for the future of our state. Hie revenue from the gasline will pay for our essentials, including public
safety. However, the time spent on AGIA over the last year and a half has not been to the detriment of
ANY department or its missions... and all the more reason to have high expectations that I have self-
starters and results-oriented cabinet members.

Per Rosanne and Sharon, this statement went out awhile ago to Megan Holland at the ADN.

Former Commissioner Monegan has asked several questions of me through reporter Megan Holland. My response to those
questions follows:

Mr* Monegan has asked if I was aware he had several various plans in the works related to staffing and recruitment and
retention. Like the legislature, I was focused and aware of a lack of results in recruiting and retention. Action and results,
not words are the bottom line. For nearly two years there were very high numbers of vacancies in the troopers with nearly 1
in 7 positions being unfilled. There were 56 vacancies as of June 30, 2008. I was also aware that regardless of any plans of
Mr. Monegan's, no new positions would be approved by the legislature until vacancies were filled, which made it even more
important to get the job done.

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware of a draft 2007 annual report. I was aware of the draft and in fact, had several
questions about it that Mr. Monegan never answered. My special assistant and Chief-of-Staffwere also reviewing the draft.
The fact that Mr. Monegan prepared a detailed draft written report of the troopers' activities in 2007 does not change the

bottom line or lack of results under Mr. Monegan.

Mr. Monegan has suggested that I did not meet with him. This is wrong. In addition to several face-to-face meetings, Walt
and I spent much more time together discussing the future and direction of public safety, and my desire for immediate
action. Remember that Walt and I had many opportunities, dozens of discussions at events throughout the state, including
one-on-one time together on the state's plane traveling to the bush. That's in addition to every cabinet meeting, every
reception, other trips, and phone calls that I personally had with Wait To suggest that he had four opportunities with me in
27 months to discuss public safety is untruthful* Also notable, are the meetings and conversations that my staff had with

Staff, Attorney General, Special Assistants, etc. There is not one instance where Walt was turned down for a
meeting, a phone call, or any type of conversation.

While I have been busy with AGIA, I pay attention and take care of the state's business on all other fronts as well, and will
continue to do so.

I hope you reminded them of every cabinet meeting, every reception, every trip, phone call and face-to-face that I had with
Walt There will be many, many instances to cite.

Again, Walt will be proven to be less than truthful with this latest claim.

Also notable is all the mtgs/conversations he had with COS, Dep COS, Special Assistants, etc. And the fact he was NEVER
refused any request to meet with any of us. He met with other starters and fellow commissioners and AG, also, in
"communications M with me.

Hopefully all that's noted before she files her story.
And pis pass on the Bill McA. What's his email addy?

Governor,

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, I'll let Diane and Susan know that you were fine with
having staff at the event and that I misunderstood.

I felt bad leaving Kelly, Anna and Mindy there to clean-up so I mentioned that it felt odd
leaving, but that you didn't want staff to stay. Sorry- I didn't quite get that right and
complicated things.

Thanks for letting me know*

I hope you reminded them of every cabinet meeting, every reception, every trip, phone
call and face-to-face that I had with Walt. There will be many, many instances to cite.

Again, Walt will be proven to be less than truthful with this latest claim*

Also notable is all the mtgs/conversations he had with COS, Dep COS, Special
Assistants, etc. And the fact he was NEVER refused any request to meet with any of us. He
met with other staffers and fellow commissioners and AG, also, in "communications" with
me.

Hopefully all that's noted before she files her story.

And pis pass on the Bill McA. What's his email addy?

Janice- pis look through sched to prove these points. Thanks

From my understanding Randy has incorporated her comments/tone and prepared another draft since then. The deadline was
missed, but Sharon said she thought this was taken care of before she left Anchorage so I've asked her to clear up the cluster

My understanding, just based on short convo with Kris, \& that Kopp got an attorney and is going to hold a press
conf to defend himself and explain the allegations from a kenai woman? And the kenai mayor will be standing with
him? If there are any details I need to hear them- like when this will take place, what prompted this new action, etc.
He does need to take all action, solidly, to dispel any untruths out there, asap. I've had very good Alaskans say that
this is NOT a good situation he's in.

since then. The deadline was missed, but Sharon said she thought this was taken care of before she left
Anchorage so I've asked her to clear up the cluster w/Rosanne (and Meg Holland). We will get the
polished statement to Meg tomorrow. Again, sony as I was just venting about how all this went down
and no matter how much I tried to resolve and help - it was still a cluster.

Rosanne- 1 understand adn contacted you re: the number of meetings I've had w Walt, and his claim that it was only four.

I hope you reminded them of every cabinet meeting, every reception, every trip, phone call and face-to-face that 1 had with
Walt. There will be many, many instances to cite.

Again, Walt will be proven to be less than truthful with this latest claim.

Also notable is all the mtgs/conversations he had with COS, Dep COS, Special Assistants, etc. And the fact he was NEVER
refused any request to meet with any of us. He met with other staffers and fellow commissioners and AG, also, in
"communications'* with me.

Hopefully all thafs noted before she files her story.
And pis pass on the Bill McA. What's his email addy?

Janice- pis look through sched to prove these points. Thanks

Re: Emphatic Re: Walt

Importance: High

I just talked to holland on phone, essentially quoted Meg's statement and incorporated randy's
points - she says shell try to get it on line... pray that it goes in the paper too (she doubted that)-
she was shocked to hear of cabinet meetings, three trips sitting by him to rural communities, etc.
He insists it was four times in 17 months. I restated that I and cos, dep cos and sp assist Randy
also spoke with him about direction we wanted to go w recruits, alcohol, etc i-
RESULTS/ACTION not just "plans".

My understanding, just based on short convo with Kris, is that Kopp got an attorney and is
going to hold a press conf to defend himself and explain the allegations from a kenai
woman? And the kenai mayor will be standing with him? If there are any details I need to

Governor - I can not verify the exact number of trips without looking at the whole

look through scheduling but this will take some time and that would probably not include

Most of the statement is in the there toward the bottom - I had switched the order of
paragraphs to emphasize what was most important and that is the number of times that
you've met with Walt. The main thing missing is a summary of your four trips seated

together to rural Alaska and your days together in Bethel, New Stu (twice), and
Dillingham. Also, we reworked the last statement re: AGIA.

Below is what you approved Governor - for use tomorrow by anyone who needs to reiterate
your points.

Thanks,
Meg

First, regarding the number of meetings I've had with Walt over the last year and a half,
in addition to several face-to-face meetings, Walt and I spent

much more time together discussing the future and direction of public safety, and my
desire for immediate action. Remember that Walt and I had many opportunities, dozens of
discussions at events throughout the state, including four trips to rural Alaska seated
together on the plane. During those trips to Bethel, New Stu (twice), and Dillingham, we
also spent our days together. That's in addition to every cabinet meeting, every
reception, other trips, and phone calls that I've personally had with Walt. To suggest
that he had four face- to-f ace meetings with me in 17 months to discuss public safety is
untruthful. Also notable, are the meetings and conversations that my staff had with Walt,
on my behalf, including meetings and conversations with fellow Commissioners, the Chief-
of-Staff, Deputy Chief-of-Staff , Attorney General, Special Assistants, etc. There is not
one instance where Walt was turned down for a meeting, a phone call, or any type of
conversation.

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware that he had several various plans in the works
related to staffing and recruitment and retention, I would assume those plans are the
same ones we discussed in those events and meetings, during Cabinet meetings, and on the
plane, among other places. Those plans mirrored my thoughts and ideas to get more
troopers and tackle the alcohol problem. That's why the ideas remain behind Kopp - only
expect immediate action in this new direction, not just another reminder of our plans.
Regarding the draft 2007 annual report. My staff has advised that a copy of a lengthy
draft report was provided by him for review by the special assistant and Chief-of-Staff.
Again, though, I'm ready for results. And so are the people of this state.

AGIA has been appropriately time consuming. AGIA is our future; the gasline is the
financial security for the future of our state. The revenue from the gasline will pay for
our essentials, including public safety. However, the time spent on AGIA over the last
year and a half has not been to the detriment of ANY department or its missions... and all
the more reason to have high expectations that I have self-starters and results-oriented
cabinet members.

Former Commissioner Monegan has asked several questions of me through reporter Megan
Holland. My response to those questions follows:

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware he had several various plans in the works related to

staffing and recruitment and retention. Like the legislature, I was focused and aware of

a lack of results in recruiting and retention. Action and results, not words are the

bottom line. For nearly two years there were very high numbers of vacancies in the

troopers with nearly 1 in 7 positions being unfilled. There were 56 vacancies as of June

30, 2008. I was also aware that regardless of any plans of Mr. Monegan' s, no new ?

positions would be approved by the legislature until vacancies were filled, which made it

even more important to get the job done.

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware of a draft 2007 annual report. I was aware of the
draft and in fact, had several questions about it that Mr. Monegan never answered. My
special assistant and Chief -of -Staff were also reviewing the draft. The fact that Mr.
Monegan prepared a detailed draft written report of the troopers' activities in 2007 does
not change the bottom line or lack of results under Mr. Monegan.

Mr. Monegan has suggested that I did not meet with him. This is wrong. In addition to
several face-to- face meetings, Walt and I spent much more time together discussing the
future and direction of public safety, and my desire for immediate action. Remember that
Walt and I had many opportunities, dozens of discussions at events throughout the state,
including one-on-one time together on the state's plane traveling to the bush. That's in
addition to every cabinet meeting, every reception, other trips, and phone calls that I
personally had with Walt. To suggest that he had four opportunities with me in 17 months
to discuss public safety is untruthful. Also notable, are the meetings and conversations
that my staff had with Walt on my behalf, including meetings and conversations with fellow
Commissioners, the Chief-of-Staff , Deputy Chief-of-Staff, Attorney General, Special
Assistants, etc. There is not one instance where Walt was turned down for a

meeting, a phone call, or any type of conversation.

While I have been busy with AGIA, I pay attention and take care of the state's business on
all other fronts as well, and will continue to do so.

It is definitely standard advice from attorneys for employers to recommend that the first step they do in a

not take this action, it opens them up to liability for knowing about a problem and doing nothing about it.

Subj ect : RE : Statement

Most of the statement is in the there toward the bottom - I had switched the order of
paragraphs to emphasize what was most important and that is the number of times that
you f ve met with Walt* The main thing missing is a summary of your four trips seated
together to rural Alaska and your days together in Bethel, New Stu (twice), and
Dillingham. Also, we reworked the last statement re: AGIA.

Below is what you approved Governor - for use tomorrow by anyone who needs to reiterate
your points.

Thanks,

PRA GSP01 0021416

First, regarding the number of meetings I've had with Walt over the last year and a half,
in addition to several face-to-face meetings, Walt and I spent

much more time together discussing the future and direction of public safety, and my
desire for immediate action. Remember that Walt and I had many opportunities, dozens of
discussions at events throughout the state, including four trips to rural Alaska seated
together on the plane. During those trips to Bethel, New Stu (twice), and Dillingham, we
also spent our days together. That's in addition to every cabinet meeting, every
reception, other trips, and phone calls that I've personally had with Walt. To suggest
that he had four face-to-face meetings with me in 17 months to discuss public safety is
untruthful. Also notable, are the meetings and conversations that my staff had with Walt,
on my behalf, including meetings and conversations with fellow Commissioners, the Chief-
of-Staff, Deputy Chief-of-Staff, Attorney General, Special Assistants, etc* There is not
one instance where Walt was turned down for a meeting, a phone call, or any type of
conversation.

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware that he had several various plans in the works
related to staffing and recruitment and retention. I would assume those plans are the
same ones we discussed in those events and meetings, during Cabinet meetings, and on the
plane, among other places. Those plans mirrored my thoughts and ideas to get more
troopers and tackle the alcohol problem. That's why the ideas remain behind Kopp - only I
expect immediate action in this new direction, not just another reminder of our plans.
Regarding the draft 2007 annual report. My staff has advised that a copy of a lengthy
draft report was provided by him for review by the special assistant and Chief-of-Staff.
Again, though, I'm ready for results. And so are the people of this state.

AGIA has been appropriately time consuming. AGIA is our future; the gasline is the
financial security for the future of our state. The revenue from the gasline will pay for
our essentials, including public safety. However, the time spent on AGIA over the last
year and a half has not been to the detriment of ANY department or its missions. . . and all
the more reason to have high expectations that I have self-starters and results-oriented
cabinet members .

Per Rosanne and Sharon, this statement went out awhile ago to Megan Holland at the ADN.

Former Commissioner Monegan has asked several questions of me through reporter Megan
Holland. My response to those questions follows:

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware he had several various plans in the works related to
staffing and recruitment and retention. Like the legislature, I was focused and aware of
a lack of results in recruiting and retention. Action and results, not words are the
bottom line. For nearly two years there were very high numbers of vacancies in the
troopers with nearly 1 in 7 positions being unfilled. There were 56 vacancies as of June
30, 2008. I was also aware that regardless of any plans of Mr. Monegan' 5, no new

4

PRA GSP01 0021418

Wij'v;.:i.

positions would be approved by the legislature until vacancies were filled, which made it
even more important to get the job done.

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware of a draft 2007 annual report. I was aware of the
draft and in fact, had several questions about it that Mr. Monegan never answered. My
special assistant and Chief -of -Staff were also reviewing the draft. The fact that Mr.
Monegan prepared a detailed draft written report of the troopers' activities in 2007 does
not change the bottom line or lack of results under Mr. Monegan.

Mr. Monegan has suggested that I did not meet with him. This is wrong. In addition to
several face-to-face meetings, Walt and I spent much more time together discussing the
future and direction of public safety, and my desire for immediate action. Remember that
Walt and I had many opportunities, dozens of discussions at events throughout the state,
including one-on-one time together on the state's plane traveling to the bush* That's in
addition to every cabinet meeting, every reception, other trips, and phone calls that I
personally had with Walt. To suggest that he had four opportunities with me in 17 months
to discuss public safety is untruthful. Also notable, are the meetings and conversations
that my staff had with Walt on my behalf, including meetings and conversations with fellow
Commissioners, the Chief-of-Staff, Deputy Chief-of-Staff , Attorney General, Special
Assistants, etc. There is not one instance where Walt was turned down for a

meeting, a phone call, or any type of conversation.

While I have been busy with AGIA, I pay attention and take care of the state's business on
all other fronts as well, and will continue to do so.

Walt. There will be many, many instances to cite.

Again, Walt will be proven to be less than truthful with this latest claim.

Also notable is all the mtgs/conversations he had with COS, Dep COS, Special Assistants, etc. And the fact he was NEVER
refused any request to meet with any of us. He met with other staffers and fellow commissioners and AG, also, in

Hopefully all that* s noted before she files her story.

I hope you reminded them of every cabinet meeting, every reception, every trip, phone call and face-to-face that I had with
Walt There will be many, many instances to cite.

Again, Walt will be proven to be less than truthful with this latest claim.

Also notable is all the mtgs/conversations he had with COS, Dep COS, Special Assistants, etc. And the feet he was NEVER
refused any request to meet with any of us. He met with other staffers and fellow commissioners and AG, also, in
"communications'* with me.

Hopefully all that's noted before she files her story.

she left Anchorage so I've asked her to clear up the cluster w/Rosanne (and Meg Holland). We
will get the polished statement to Meg tomorrow. Again, sorry as I was just venting about how
all this went down and no matter how much I tried to resolve and help - it was still a cluster.

Rosanne- I understand adn contacted you re: the number of meetings I've had w Walt, and
his claim that it was only four.

I hope you reminded them of every cabinet meeting, every reception, every trip, phone
call and face-to-face that I had with Walt. There will be many, many instances to cite.

Again, Walt will be proven to be less than truthful with this latest claim.

Also notable is all the mtgs/conversations he had with COS, Dep COS, Special
Assistants, etc. And the fact he was NEVER refused any request to meet with any of us. He
met with other staffers and fellow commissioners and AG, also, in "communications'* with
me.

Hopefully all that's noted before she files her story.

Rosanne- I understand adn contacted you re: the number of meetings I've had w Walt/ and
his claim that it was only four*

I hope you reminded them of every cabinet meeting, every reception, every trip, phone
call and face-to-face that I had with Walt. There will be many, many instances to cite.

Again, Walt will be proven to be less than truthful with this latest claim.

Also notable is all the mtgs/conversations he had with COS, Dep COS, Special
Assistants, etc. And the fact he was NEVER refused any request to meet with any of us. He
met with other staffers and fellow commissioners and AG, also, in "communications'' with

me.

Hopefully all that's noted before she files her story.
And pis pass on the Bill McA. What's his email addy?

Janice- pis look through sched to prove these points. Thanks

He would still like to speak with you if at all possible. He is in

Rosanne- 1 understand adn contacted you re: the number of meetings I've had w Walt, and his claim that it was only four.

I hope you reminded them of every cabinet meeting, every reception, every trip, phone call and face-to-face that I had with
Walt. There will be many, many instances to cite.

Again, Walt will be proven to be less than truthful with mis latest claim.

Also notable is all the mtgs/conversations he had with COS, Dep COS, Special Assistants, etc. And the fact he was NEVER
refused any request to meet with any of us. He met with other starters and fellow commissioners and AG, also, in
"communications" with me.

Hopefully all that's noted before she files her story.
And pis pass on the Bill McA. What's his email addy?

Janice- pis look through sched to prove these points. Thanks

I tried to call but got your voice mail - here is what I was able to pull quickly - this does not include ALL
vacant positions in DPS - it is just troopers, corporals, sergeants, lieutenants, captains, majors - and
these are snapshots in time

6/30/2008 - 56 vacant
12/31/2007 -58 vacant
6/30/2007 - 65 vacant

Bottom line is that it doesn't appear things have changed much in a year's time - hope this helps! Randy,

Ms. Palin,

I'm a very strong supporter of your administration. I have been on Andrew
Halcro f s blog all week trying to get people to understand what a poor sport and loser he
is. It drives me crazy that he can make a few accusations, and then all hell breaks loose
He is acting way to smug for my liking.

I don't think you owe anyone an apology for firing Walt M, No one asked you to
explain your actions when you got elected and let people go, so you could bring your own
people in. Why is it different now? Ok, so, I would really like to help in any way I can.
I would love to be able to dig up some dirt on Andrew and throw it out to the public.

Stand strong, don't let him or the rest of his bunch get you down. Whatever you do,
don't let Andrew force you into saying anything defensive. He wants you to slip up.

I am volunteering to help in any way I can
away as bad as you do.

I want this cat to shut up and go

Thank you Randy. Yes, the surprises that would hit after discussions w/me ? you, COS, etc (some
that landed on the legislative floor) were especially perplexing. Lauren's recall of some of these
issues has now been cleared up, in my mind, being reminded by you now of the true sequence of
events.

Governor.

Just a few quick points:

Aicohollssues.

Lauren Rice is incorrect when she says that the idea for legislation establishing mandatory minimum
sentences for bootleggers originated with the troopers. It originated with me and arose out of a case I
was aware of where a bootlegger got sentenced to only 160 hours of community work service after
bootlegging into a damp or dry community.

Recruiting

On recruiting, after we met in Juneau in February with the Veterans Advisory Council, a member of the
Council, a feilow by the name of Johnny Guinn from Bethel said he had 150 national guardsman returning
to Bethel soon and many needed jobs, t believe I spoke with you about a "troops to troopers* recruiting
program at that time starting with these national guardsman, and that you asked me to get this moving
through Walt. To my memory, I asked Walt to follow up specifically with this group of guardsman and to
establish a formal troops to troopers program. I recall asking Walt about, this later and I believe he said
oh, we already do some recruiting with the military. In my opinion, we had asked him to come up with a
new formal program with a focus on returning rural Alaskan guardsman.

I believe you had all the right to terminate commisioner Monegan for any reason.

If the reason was because he would not do anything about the Trooper who had threatned to
kill your father is a good reason.

This trooper was privy to your security to include your travel etc/

He could have very well arranged to have you set up in a serious accident etc

After reading your email to the Col of the troopers this trooper should have been released
from all duties as a trooper.

PRA GSP01 0021528

He is a bully

He very well could have set up your accidemt on the palmer anchorage highway

Let these soreheads do all of the investigations they want to do

Your safety as the Governor is important This guy had all of your security information

available to him. some of these law inforcment people have been arouind along time and our

MESSAGE;

As a contributor to the letters to the editors in Alaska newspapers I have changed my
opinion of Sarah. There is no way that she will ever convince ANYone that she did not
abuse her power and then lie to cover it up. It was sad to see her try to explain it away,
she was obviously stumbling for words and her demeanor was one of a child caught getting
into no-" no's. What we all witnessed was embarassing to say the least. It is unlikely
that she will win re-election as a result. As for being V.P., forget it. This thing is
going to destroy her "Cinderella Story" as her opponents and former collegues are planning
a major assault. If Sarah would have done the right thing, she could of turned this
situation into a good one. That chance is gone. It is a sad day for Alaska. Please dont
respond .

Dear Governor Palin;

I was just at the Governor's picnic in Fairbanks and gave you the beaded eyeglass cover
You had asked who made it. It was made by my auntie (Delores Sloane's sister in law,
Delores is also an Athabascan beader) .

My auntie is Jessie Carroll, from Chalkyitsik, Alaska. She does the most beautiful

beadwork.

Also, I stayed up very late last night editing the PowerPoint presentation I gave you, and
I just saw that I made a mistake on the date Reverend David passed away. I'll mail you a
more current Powerpoint. I think it was just too late for me to focus.

God Bless You! God can do anything and heal anyone

Love the Curtiss's

Dear Ms. Palin

Having read your statement about the contentions made by some who don't wish you any good
(e.g. Mr. Halcro) I would feel alot better if you outright denied them. Calling them
"outrageous" doesn't do this (and sounds like Murkowski-ish politico-speak) . If you didn't
get involved in that, an outright denial would be in order. If you did, then saying so
would carry alot of weight with me. One thing that won't fly with me, though, is
dishonesty. Despite not agreeing with you on some things, the fact that you struck me as
very open and honest is why I voted for you. Whether you took a part in the dispute I've
read about isn't nearly as important, to me, than if you are straight about things.

42, Sarah

How about press coming over to the house for pie and coffee? More of

Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2008 8:06 AM
To: Palin, Sarah H (GOV)
Subject: Please help the Troopers

Dear Governor,

I'm sorry for the scandal and misdirection that has embattled your administration this week and
distracted you and your staff. I am an Alaska State Trooper, but wish to remain anonymous. I
hope you'll permit this and not release this to anyone outside your administration.

As I see the problems that our Department of Public Safety faces* I have a few comments I'd like
to make.

1) Wooten should have been fired a long time ago. I worked with Mike and he never had the
integrity required to be part of the Alaska State Troopers. He should have been fired for
performance reasons alone, as he was without exception one of the laziest Troops in B
detachment.

2) Administrative Investigations should be carried out by individuals who are trained in such,
but are employed outside the division of the Alaska State Troopers to avoid the appearance of
impropriety. There is no other way to maintain credible oversight of the AST ranks.

3) Troopers need to have their mission redefined and pared back, or huge numbers need to be
added to their ranks. The rank and file Trooper works his fingers to the bone, and we're laughed
at by our municipal peers for how vast our responsibilities are compared to theirs; we regularly
miss days off and work extra-long shifts so that we can do an "ok" job. We want to do excellent
work, and the frustration alone is demoralizing. When we get painted by the brush of scandal,
and one of our own has his very serious sins aired for the world to see, we all look bad. Morale
is at an all time low, make no mistake.

Some solutions I'd like to propose:

1 ) Separate all the investigative bureaus (Alaska Bureau of Investigation, Alaska Bureau of
Alcohol and Drug Enforcement, Wildlife Investigations, etc) into one division with its own
Colonel. This would create a separate career path for the investigators so that they can acquire
the complex skills necessary for this type of work, as well as provide an unbiased entity that can
more credibly perform Administrative Investigations of police misconduct If they received the
proper training, they could even look into allegations of official misconduct outside DPS. In
many states, this is exactly how things are done. This would also allow the investigative bureau
to hire outside AST, recruiting experienced investigators from municipal departments without

9/18/2009

PRA GSP01 0021553

Page 2 of 2

the spectre of forced transfer. This would be right in line with your recruiting goals.

2) Make a decision about what the Troopers will stop doing, so that they can concentrate on excellence
in what they do, or significantly increase their support for more officers, and better equipment and
training. If you're going to have State Police, they really should lead the pack, and there are a number of
municipalities that offer far more competitive pay/benefit packages with half the work.

3) Show public support for your Troops. They work hard for you, and we're really a good bunch of
guys and girls. One bad Trooper and an unwieldy discipline system that didn't fire him means that some
changes need to be made, but the rest of us really care about doing the right thing, the right way, for the
right reasons. Mike Wooten is the exception, but with the perception that you bear enmity toward all
Troopers, they will undoubtedly suffer another hit to their morale, something that could be devastating
at this time.

I read every page of the published Wooten AI file and it made my blood boil, because I'm now looked at
with the same disdain by the public as Mike Wooten is; I wear the same uniform. I'm mostly powerless
in making positive changes in this uncertain environment, so I look to you to make a difference here.
Please listen.

God Bless,

Subject: NCOIL Model Act Regarding National Flood Insurance Program

Importance: High

July 21,2008

Dear Colleague:

On behalf of the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL), I am forwarding to you a Flood
Disaster Mitigation and Relief Model Act, which was adopted unanimously by the NCOIL Executive
Committee on Sunday July 13, 2008, during the NCOIL Summer Meeting at the New York Marriott
Marquis.

The model act lays out a comprehensive state program to promote awareness of and access to the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The model addresses Insurance producer and realtor
education, local floodplain zoning and management, mandatory purchase of flood insurance by property
owners in floodplains, property-owner self-certification of compliance, and other hazard mitigation efforts.

NCOIL has amended provisions in the model law regarding insurance producer education requirements.
Among other things, the new language would allow for either basic or advanced continuing education
requirements and would authorize online instruction. NCOIL first adopted the model act in November
2003.

NCOIL is an organization of state legislators whose primary area of interest is insurance legislation and
regulation. Many legislators active in NCOIL either chair or are members of the committees responsible
for insurance legislation in their respective state houses across the country. More information is available
at www.nc6il.oro .

Please do not hesitate to contact Candace Thorson in the NCOIL National Office at 518-687-0178 or at
cthorson®ncoil.orq should you have any questions.

Sincerely,

9/18/2009

Dear Colleague:

On behalf of the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL), I am forwarding to you a
Resolution in Support of Extending Dependent Health Benefits for Young Adults, which was adopted
unanimously by the NCOIL Executive Committee on Sunday, July 13 during the NCOIL Summer Meeting
in New York City.

The resolution recognizes state efforts to provide additional health insurance benefits for young adults, ft
supports the extension of existing dependent health insurance benefits to individuals up to the age of 25,
regardless of student status, and encourages states to enact legislation presenting master policy holders
with an option to purchase such extended benefits for young individuals.

At least 20 states have passed similar legislation in recent years, including Colorado, Connecticut,
Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and
Washington.

NCOIL is an organization of state legislators whose primary area of interest is insurance legislation and
regulation. Many legislators active in NCOIL either chair or are members of the committees responsible
for insurance legislation in their respective state houses across the country. More information is available
at www.ncoil.org .

Please do not hesitate to contact Jordan Estey in the NCOIL National Office at 518-687-0178 or at
jestey@ncoil.org should you have any questions.

Sincerely,

9/18/2009

Dear Colleague:

On behalf of the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL), I am forwarding to you a
Resolution Supporting State Regulation of the Use of Credit information in Personal Insurance, which was
adopted unanimously by the NCOIL Executive Committee on Sunday, July 13, 2008 during the NCOIL
Summer Meeting at the New York Marriott Marquis.

The resolution recognizes the ongoing 26-state success of the NCOIL insurance scoring modef act and its
ability to protect consumers and promote competitive insurance markets— including provisions that assist
the young, old, and those who suffer extraordinary life events.

In general, the 2002 NCOIL Model Act Regarding Use of Credit Information in Personal Insurance
prohibits credit experience from being the sole factor influencing a personal-lines underwriting or rating
decision and provides for use of updated credit information, among other things.

The resolution opposes any federal legislation that would disregard a state legislatures' ability to
determine what is best for their individual states and would infringe on state authority to regulate the
business of insurance. Proponents of pending federal credit scoring bills say they would remedy
concerns that insurance scores serve as "stand-ins" for race, income, or ethnicity.

The resolution says that two pending federal bills, H.R. 5633, the Nondiscriminatory Use of Consumer
Reports and Consumer Information Act of 2008, and H. R. 6062, the Personal Lines of Insurance Fairness
Act of 2008, would intrude on state-level efforts to oversee insurance scoring.

NCOIL is an organization of state legislators whose primary area of interest is insurance legislation and
regulation. Many legislators active m NCOIL either chair or are members of the committees responsible
for insurance legislation in their respective state houses across the country. More information is available

FAA Honors Alaska Airlines with Seventh Consecutive
Diamond Award for Maintenance Training Excellence

SEATTLE - Alaska Airlines has received its seventh consecutive Diamond Award for maintenance
training excellence from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This is the fifth consecutive year
Alaska received the award with the distinction of Special Recognition, an honor given only when all
eligible employees participate in the Aviation Maintenance Technician Awards (AMT) program.

The FAA also presented Alaska Airlines with a special award to recognize its five-year record of 100-
percent participation in the AMT program.

"This award underscores our commitment to the core values of safety and compliance," said Fred Mohr,
Alaska Airlines' vice president of maintenance and engineering. "In order to achieve this commitment
and be at the top of our game, we make a daily investment in the training and technical excellence of our
technicians. I am so proud of everything we do to ensure the safety and compliance of our airline. In my
opinion, we have the best technicians in the industry."

The FAA also honored 724 Alaska Airlines employees with individual AMT Awards. Seattle Avionics
Technician Trainer Neil Fonda and Avionics Technician James Anderson received the highest honor -
the Diamond Award - for completing more than 100 hours of training in 2007.

The Aviation Maintenance Technician Awards program began in 1 99 1 . Its purpose is to provide
incentives for aviation maintenance technicians to participate actively in initial and recurrent training
programs, either on their own or in programs subsidized by their employer.

In general, all three members of the Congression^ =3D al delegation support roads that

I presume that "E-W means a road that would - -3D approximate an East-West corridor and

approximation that I - =3D can think of is Senator Stevens ' previous support for a road

There may be one complication. If federal = =3D lands are involved, the applicant would

Here is my understanding about the press conference tomorrow scheduled for 2:00 at public safety.

It began with the 5:00 channel 2 news cast Jason Moore reported that they had uncovered a memo from
the City of Kenai written by the city attorney indicating that when the allegation/complaint came into the
department the city removed Chuck from all supervisory duties. They made it quite sinister as you can
expect like there is still something that he and the city was hiding.

I called Chuck immediately after the news segment was over and asked if he could walk through this with
me. Bottom line is he was already at his attorney's office and on the phone with the City of Kenai
attorney's office working on a strategy.

The city did what any responsible employer would do in the situation. Its a human resource response
when you have any allegations made about any of your employees as it relates to sexual
harassment you remove immediately the person from the any of supervisory duties (in this situation
Chuck directly supervised this woman) until you can substantiate or unsubstantiated the claim. In this

case they could not substantiate the claim and eventually Chuck returned to normal duties.

record straight. He will have the city Mayor by his side and she will attest to the situation in favor of Chuck, I Prlvi

Subject: RE: Statement

Most of the statement is in the there toward the bottom - 1 had switched the order of paragraphs to emphasize what was most
important and that is the number of times that you've met with Walt The main thing missing is a summary of your four trips
seated together to rural Alaska and your days together in Bethel, New Stu (twice), and Dillingham. Also, we reworked the
last statement re: AGIA.

Below is what you approved Governor - for use tomorrow by anyone who needs to reiterate your points.

Thanks,

Meg

First, regarding the number of meetings I've had with Walt over the last year and a half, in addition to several face-to-face
meetings, Walt and I spent

much more time together discussing the future and direction of public safety, and my desire for immediate action.
Remember that Walt and I had many opportunities, dozens of discussions at events throughout the state, including four trips
to rural Alaska seated together on the plane. During those trips to Bethel, New Stu (twice), and Mlingham, we also spent
our days together. That's in addition to every cabinet meeting, every reception, other trips, and phone calls that IVe
personally had with Walt. To suggest that he had four face-to-face meetings with me in 17 months to discuss public safety is
untruthful. Also notable, are the meetings and conversations that my staff had with Walt, on my behalf, including meetings
and conversations with fellow Commissioners, the Chief-of-Staff, Deputy Chief-of-Staff, Attorney General, Special
Assistants, etc. There is not one instance where Walt was turned down for a meeting, a phone call, or any type of
conversation.

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware that he had several various plans in the works related to staffing and recruitment and
retention. I would assume those plans are the same ones we discussed in those events and meetings, during Cabinet
meetings, and on the plane, among other places. Those plans mirrored my thoughts and ideas to get more troopers and tackle
the alcohol problem. That's why the ideas remain behind Kopp - only I expect immediate action in this new direction, not

And so are the people of this state.

AGIA has been appropriately time consuming. AGIA is our future; the gasline is the financial security for the future of our
state. The revenue from the gasline will pay for our essentials, including public safety. However, the time spent on AGIA
over the last year and a half has not been to the detriment of ANY department or its missions... and all the more reason to
have high expectations that I have self-starters and results-oriented cabinet members.

Subject: Copy of statement sent to Megan HoDand

Per Rosanne and Sharon, this statement went out awhile ago to Megan Holland at the ADN.

i

Former Commissioner Monegan has asked several questions of me through reporter Megan Holland My response to those
questions follows:

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware he had several various plans in the works related to staffing and recruitment and
retention. Like the legislature, I was focused and aware of a lack of results in recruiting and retention. Action and results,
not words are the bottom lineJ For nearly two years there were very high numbers of vacancies in the troopers with nearly I
in 7 positions being unfilled. There were 56 vacancies as of June 30, 2008. I was also aware that regardless of any plans of
Mr. Monegan's, no new positions would be approved by the legislature until vacancies were filled, which made it even more
important to get the job done.

Mr. Monegan has asked if I was aware of a draft 2007 annual report. I was aware of the draft and in fact, had several
questions about it that Mr. Monegan never answered. My special assistant and Chief-of-Staff were also reviewing the draft.
The fact that Mr. Monegan prepared a detailed draft written report of the troopers' activities in 2007 does not change the
bottom line or lack of result under Mr. Monegan.

Mr. Monegan has suggested that I did not meet with him. This is wrong. In addition to several face-to-face meetings, Walt
and I spent much more time together discussing the future and direction of public safety, and my desire for immediate
action. Remember that Walt and 1 had many opportunities, dozens of discussions at events throughout the state, including
one-on-one time together on the state's plane traveling to the bush. That's in addition to every cabinet meeting, every
reception, other trips, and phone calls that I personally had with Walt To suggest that he had four opportunities with me in
17 months to discuss public safety is untruthful. Also notable, are the meetings and conversations that my staff had with
Walt on my behalf including meetings and conversations with fellow Commissioners, the Chief-of-StafF, Deputy Chief-of-
Staff, Attorney General, Special Assistants, etc. There is not one instance where Walt was turned down for a
meeting, a phone call, or any type of conversation.

While I have been busy with AGIA, I pay attention and take care of the state's business on all other fronts as well, and will
continue to do so.

Here is my understanding about the press conference tomorrow scheduled for 2:00 at public safety.

It began with the 5:00 channel 2 news cast Jason Moore reported that they had uncovered a memo from the City
of Kenai written by the city attorney indicating that when the allegation/complaint came into the department the
city removed Chuck from ail supervisory duties. They made it quite sinister as you can expect like there is still
something that he and the city was hiding.

I called Chuck immediately after the news segment was over and asked if he could walk through this with me.
Bottom line is he was already at his attorney's office and on the phone with the City of Kenai attorney's office
working on a strategy.

The city did what any responsible employer would do in the situation. Its a human resource response when you
have any allegations made about any of your employees as it relates to sexual harassment, you
remove immediately the person from the any of supervisory duties (in this situation Chuck directly supervised this
woman) until you can substantiate or unsubstantiated the claim. In this case they could not substantiate the claim
and eventually Chuck returned to normal duties.

Chuck is having a press conference tomorrow to end this situation by going public with what he can and s et the
record straight. He will have the city Mayor by his side and she will attest to the situation in favor of Chuck, [privil

He does need to take all action, solidly, to dispel any untruths out there, asap. I've had very good Alaskans say that this is
NOT a good situation he's in.

Megan,

Thanks for taking the Governor's call and for reading these emails. I know that reporters on
certain beats can amend stories iate into the night in some cases. And while I know that it's very
late and not an ideal situation, any opportunity that you can provide for the Governor's facts to
come out, that would be great As you know, situations like the trips are documented by the state
and cannot be denied.

With that in mind, the Governor wanted me to make sure that she also added a comment about
her trips to rural communities with Walt. And so she asked that I pass along to you as well,
following your phone conversation with her.

wsfrw

Regarding trips:

"Walt and I had many discussions regarding public safety, including during separate trips to rural
Alaska seated together on the plane. More specifically, we also spent our days together during
our two visits to New Stu in January and June of 2007 and during our trip to Bethel in January of
2008. And that's in addition to other meetings that I mentioned such as face-to-face meetings,
cabinet meetings, receptions throughout the state, and phone calls, among other things."

And one more thought regarding AG1A:

"AGIA has been appropriately time consuming. AGIA is our future; the gasline is the financial
security for the future of our state. The revenue from the gasline will help pay for our essentials,
including public safety. However, the time spent on AGIA over the last year and a half has not
been to the detriment of ANY department or its missions... and all the more reason to have high
expectations that I have self-starters and results-oriented cabinet members."

Thanks, Megan.

he's not worried about what is found on them in the emails. What he's worried about is
fine individuals like John Bitney and Mike Tibbies. Also, Todd Palin has been doing
more than literacy campaigns and breast cancer awareness and that's clear. Ramras says
he saw you going from office to office durin ACES. He's also watching with amusement
Sean's chameleon act, and said he should have been running his own campaign all

House leadership, Rep. Olson, Rep. Chenautt? want to amend the resource rebate bill as follows:

1. Add the $1,200 per person resource rebate payment as a separate line item on the PFD checks
and check stubs / 1099's (for people that get direct deposit)

9/18/2009

PRA GSP01 0021627

Page 2 of 2

2. Not have any supplemental application process for persons that did not qualify for a 2008 PFD. (This
removes an estimated 40,000 persons that our supplemental process in our bill are estimated to pick up).
This would save 40,000 x $1,200 in payments (over $40 million) and the $500,000 cost of Revenue to
running the new resource rebate program. These are persons in Alaska who don't qualify for a PFD
because they have not been here long enough, etc).

3. So that we do not miss veterans who receive VA benefits that are reduced by PFD payments so they do
not even apply for the PFD and would otherwise be left out in the cold by limiting the $1 ,200 to persons
getting PFD's, they would creates a new alternative payment program for just those veterans. The cost for
picking up the veterans alone is probably under $7 million.

In my opinion, we cannot get the bill out of the committee without these amendments but will defer to Kelly on her
measure of the committee.

Mrs. Palin -

I cannot believe you threw such a fit when Randy Ruedrich was conducting R Party business
during work hours. YOU have been conducting personal business on state time. What's the
difference? I am ashamed that you presented yourself as so truthful and honest and you are
nothing more than a liar and a joke now in this state. You talk about moving Alaska forward and
you have done nothing more than take us in the opposite direction. I hope Walt runs for governor
after the investigation forces you to resign.

Good riddance and the best of luck to Trooper Wooten!
Rina

I have followed your career with some interest and find myself cheering for you on all of

I only hope you can withstand the beaurcrtic nonsense that you are facing on a dailey

Thank you for being here when Alaska needs a hero!

The Coming Assault on Small Businesses

By Tom Donohue, President and CEO

You can't say today's union leaders don't appreciate irony. Last week, one of the nation's largest
unions held a global rally protesting our system of free enterprise and capital investment The union
called it the 'Take Back Our Economy" rally. Wed, if it manages to push through its radical agenda,
what it will do is Take Down Our Economy."

In fact, the agenda of a handful of national unions represents a direct assault on America's small
businesses. Their top priority is passage of the deceptively name Employee Free Choice Act,

commonly referred to as "card check." The bilt would make it cost effective for unions to go after Main Street businesses

and small retail establishments.

Capital Roundup

Donohue Outlines Union Agenda and Chamber's Efforts to Block It

The Chamber is fighting a btg union agenda that s "bad for business, bad for workers, and bad for the
country," Chamber President and CEO Tom Donohue said during a Jury 21 speech unveiling the
Chamber's Workforce Freedom Initiative, a comprehensive grassroots and education program to defeat
labor's anti-growth and anti-competitiveness agenda.

Chamber Experts: Trade, Infrastructure Critical for Washington State

U.S. Chamber leaders held a July 21 event in Everett, Washington, to highlight the economic and

competitive benefits of free and fair trade and a strong transportation infrastructure.

Chamber Calls for Balanced Approach on ADA Changes

The administration should consider the costs and burdens of its proposed accessibility requirements on
business owners before it makes changes to the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), according to U.S.

Arbitration is a much better alternative for consumers than the court system, with consumers four times
more likely to lose when credit card cases go to court, according to a new analysis conducted at the
request of the Chamber's Institute for Legal Reform (ILK).

In my opinion, we cannot get the bill out of the committee without these amendments but will defer to
Kelly on her measure of the committee.

We will cover this hearing and let you know what transpires. I don't expect any
particular result except to air the issues in a high profile forum.

OIL SPILLS: Senators to discuss Exxon court ruling (07/22/2008)

Josh Voorhees, E&E Daily reporter

A Senate panel will examine at a hearing tomorrow how the Supreme Court's decision to
sharply cut a $2.5 billion judgment against Exxon Mobil Corp. for the 1989 Exxon Valdez
oil spill has helped to shield the large corporation from being held financially
accountable for misconduct.

Last month in Exxon Shipping Co. v. Baker, the court ruled the punitive damages excessive
and cut them to $507.7 million, arguing a rough one-to-one ration of punitive to
compensatory damages was appropriate in maritime cases.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had already halved a $5 billion jury verdict awarded
in 1994.

The Supreme Court's ruling, however, did not go entirely the oil giant's way. Justices
rejected multiple arguments from Exxon, including the company's claim that the Clean Water
Act penalties pre-empt punitive damages in such maritime cases (Greenwire, June 25).

Still, the severe decrease to the judgment was a blow to the class-action suit's 33,000
plaintiffs, which included commercial fishers and native Alaskans who had pushed for a far
greater penalty for the 11-million-gallon oil spill that devastated coastal fisheries and

1

PRA GSP01 0021651

ecosystems in the Prince William Sound.

Osa Schultz, a fisherman and small business owner in Alaska's Prince William Sound/ will
represent the plaintiffs before the Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow.

"The recent decision by the United States Supreme Court trumps the rights of the
individual for the benefit of bottom line corporate interests," said Schultz in a
statement released yesterday by the Whole Truth Campaign, an Alaskan advocacy
organization.

The committee will also hear from Harvard law professor Elizabeth Bartholet and Patricia
Ann Milliet, co-head of Washington-D.C. -based law firm Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer and
Feld's Supreme Court practice. Milliet has argued a total of 26 cases in front of the
court .

Schedule: The hearing is tomorrow at 10 a.m. in 226 Dirksen.

Witnesses: Osa Schultz, fisherman and business owner in Prince William Sound, Alaska;
Elizabeth Bartholet, Morris Wasserstein professor at Harvard Law School; and Patricia Ann
Millet, partner in Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer and Feld LLP.

Senior reporter Ben Geman contributed to this report.

Subject: RE: Kopp

Here is my understanding about the press conference tomorrow scheduled for 2:00 at
public safety.

It began with the 5:00 channel 2 news cast Jason Moore reported that they had
uncovered a memo from the City of Kenai written by the city attorney indicating that when
the allegation/complaint came into the department the city removed Chuck from all
supervisory duties. They made it quite sinister as you can expect like there is still
something that he and the city was hiding.

I called Chuck immediately after the news segment was over and asked if he could
walk through this with me. Bottom line is he was already at his attorney's office and on
the phone with the City of Kenai attorney's office working on a strategy.

The city did what any responsible employer would do in the situation. Its a human
resource response when you have any allegations made about any of your employees as it
relates to sexual harassment, you remove immediately the person from the any of
supervisory duties (in this situation Chuck directly supervised this woman) until you can
substantiate or unsubstantiated the claim* In this case they could not substantiate the
claim and eventually Chuck returned to normal duties.

Chuck is having a press conference tomorrow to end this situation by going public
with what he can and set the record straight* He wil l have the city Mayor by his side and

she will attest to the situation in favor of chuck, privileged or Personal Material Redacted

Privileged or Personal Material Redacted

That is what is going on. They were working on the statement for tomorrow and he
will call me in the. morning with some more follow up.

My understanding , just based on short convo with Kris, is that Kopp got an attorney
and is going to hold a press conf to defend himself and explain the allegations from a
kenai woman? And the kenai mayor will be standing with him? If there are any details I
need to hear them- like when this will take place, what prompted this new action, etc.

He does need to take all action, solidly, to dispel any untruths out there, asap.
I've had very good Alaskans say that this is NOT a good situation he's in.

Here is my understanding about the press conference tomorrow scheduled for 2:00 at public
safety.

It began with the 5:00 channel 2 news cast Jason Moore reported that they had uncovered a
memo from the City of Kenai written by the city attorney indicating that when the
allegation/complaint came into the department the city removed Chuck from all supervisory
duties. They made it quite sinister as you can expect like there is still something that
he and the city was hiding.

I called Chuck immediately after the news segment was over and asked if he could walk
through this with me. Bottom line is he was already at his attorney's office and on the
phone with the City of Kenai attorney's office working on a strategy.

The city did what any responsible employer would do in the situation. Its a human resource
response when you have any allegations made about any of your employees as it relates to
sexual harassment, you remove immediately the person from the any of supervisory duties
(in this situation Chuck directly supervised this woman) until you can substantiate or
unsubstantiated the claim. In this case they could not substantiate the claim and
eventually Chuck returned to normal duties.

Chuck is having a press conference tomorrow to end this situation by going public with
what he can and set the record straight. He wil l have the city Mayor by his side and she

will attest to the situation in favor of Chuck. [Privilenefl nr Per sonal Material Redacted

Privileged or Personal Material Redacted

That is what is going on* They were working on the statement for tomorrow and he will call
me in the morning with some more follow up.

My understanding, just based on short convo with Kris, is that Kopp got an attorney and is
going to hold a press conf to defend himself and explain the allegations from a kenai
woman? And the kenai mayor will be standing with him? If there are any details I need to
hear them- like when this will take place, what prompted this new action, etc*

He does need to take all action, solidly, to dispel any untruths out there, asap. I've
had very good Alaskans say that this is NOT a good situation he's in.

Megan,

Thanks for taking the Governor's call and for reading these emails. I know that reporters on
certain beats can amend stories late into the night in some cases. And while I know that it's very
late and not an ideal situation, any opportunity that you can provide for the Governor's facts to
come out, that would be great As you know, situations like the trips are documented by the state
and cannot be denied.

With that in mind, the Governor wanted me to make sure that she also added a comment about
her trips to rural communities with Wait And so she asked that I pass along to you as well,
following your phone conversation with her.

***

Regarding trips:

"Waft and I had many discussions regarding public safety, including during separate trips to rural
Alaska seated together on the plane. More specifically, we also spent our days together during
our two visits to New Stu in January and June of 2007 and during our trip to Bethel in January of

2008. And that's in addition to other meetings that I mentioned such as face-to-face meetings, cabinet
meetings, receptions throughout the state, and phone calls, among other things."

And one more thought regarding AGIA:

"AGIA has been appropriately time consuming. AGIA is our future; the gasline is the financial security for
the future of our state. The revenue from the gasline will help pay for our essentials, including public
safety. However, the time spent on AGIA over the last year and a half has not been to the detriment of
ANY department or its missions... and all the more reason to have high expectations that I have self-
starters and results-oriented cabinet members. 1 *

Megan,

Thanks for taking the Governor's call and for reading these emails. I know that reporters on
certain beats can amend stories late into the night in some cases. And while i know that it's very
late and not an ideal situation, any opportunity that you can provide for the Governor's facts to
come out, that would be great As you know, situations like the trips are documented by the state
and cannot be denied.

With that in mind, the Governor wanted me to make sure that she also added a comment about
her trips to rural communities with Walt. And so she asked that I pass along to you as well,
following your phone conversation with her.

***

Regarding trips:

"Wait and I had many discussions regarding public safety, including during separate trips to rural

Alaska seated together on the plane. More specifically, we also spent our days together during

9/18/2009

PRA GSP01 0021676

I l< * ■- *, *

Re: Another thought from Governor

Page 2 of 2

our two visits to New Stu in January and June of 2007 and during our trip to Bethel In January of 2008.
And that's in addition to other meetings that t mentioned such as face-to-face meetings, cabinet
meetings, receptions throughout the state, and phone calls, among other things."

And one more thought regarding AGIA:

"AGIA has been appropriately time consuming. AGIA is our future; the gasline is the financial security for
the future of our state. The revenue from the gasline will help pay for our essentials, including public
safety. However, the time spent on AGIA over the last year and a half has not been to the detriment of
ANY department or its missions... and all the more reason to have high expectations that I have self-
starters and results-oriented cabinet members."

***

Thanks, Megan.

Here is my understanding about the press conference tomorrow scheduled for 2:00 at public safety.

It began with the 5:00 channel 2 news cast Jason Moore reported that they had uncovered a memo from the City of Kenai
written by the city attorney indicating that when the allegation/complaint came into the department the city removed Chuck
from all supervisory duties. They made it quite sinister as you can expect like there is still something that he and the city was
hiding.

I called Chuck immediately after the news segment was over and asked if he could walk through this with me. Bottom line is
he was already at his attorney's office and on the phone with the City of Kenai attorney's office working on a strategy.

The city did what any responsible employer would do in the situation. Its a human resource response when you have any
allegations made about any of your employees as it relates to sexual harassment, you remove immediately the person from
the any of supervisory duties (in this situation Chuck directly supervised this woman) until you can substantiate or
unsubstantiated the claim. In this case they could not substantiate the claim and eventually Chuck returned to normal duties.

Chuck is having a press conference tomorrow to end this situation by going public with what he can and set the record
straight. He will have the city Mayor by his side and she will attest to the situation in favor of ChucL Privileged or Pen

Privileged or Personal Material Redacted

That is what is going on. They were working on the statement for tomorrow and he will call me in the morning with some
more follow up.

My understanding, just based on short convo with Kris, is that Kopp got an attorney and is going to hold a press conf to
defend himself and explain the allegations from a kenai woman? And the kenai mayor will be standing with him? If there are
any details I need to hear them- like when this will take place, what prompted this new action, etc.

He does need to take all action, solidly, to dispel any untruths out there, asap. I've had very good Alaskans say that this is
NOT a good situation he's in.

My understanding, just based on short convo with Kris, is that Kopp got an attorney and is going
to hold a press conf to defend himself and explain the allegations from a kenai woman? And the
kenai mayor will be standing with him? if there are any details I need to hear them- like when this
will take place, what prompted this new action, etc.

He does need to take ail action, solidly, to dispel any untruths out there, asap. Fve had very
good Alaskans say that this is NOT a good situation he's in.

How much does each alaskan get?

What share of the oil revenue goes to state government and what share would go to the citizens?

I think it sounds more like the whole shebang. . .where do the revenues come from, how are
they used, and all of that. Laura Achee is the director of public affairs/communications
over at the permanent fund corporation and can probably provide all of that.

Subject: Natural Resources Committee/Your Chairmanship

Russ and I met this morning with the staff of NGA's Natural Resources Committee to discuss your tenure as
Chairperson. Part of the discussion focused on procedural and tactical ways to make the Committee a more
efficient instrument of public policy development and advocacy, but I won't bore you with this*

One question for your consideration - what one or two themes or policy initiatives would you like to pursue
during your tenure as Chair? The same question is being posed to the Vice Chair, and we will need
eventually to come to an agreement with him.

Picking up on Governor Rendelfs general theme of infrastructure, I suggested infrastructure related to the
development and transportation of energy resources. I thought that this could bring m the gas pipeline plus
various national issues which could have Alaska implications. The staff suggested that we might want to add
water infrastructure, which also fits within the purview of the Natural Resources Committee.

Before proceeding further, I wonder whether you have any suggestions about themes to pursue during your
tenure. I have copied Mike, Kris, and Steve to solicit their views as well.

Tbanks.

Subject: HB 4002 - Resource Rebate
Governor:

Both Co-Chairs of the C & RA committee, Rep. LeDoux and Rep. Fairciough and some members of House leadership, Rep.
Olson, Rep. Chenault? want to amend the resource rebate bill as follows:

1. Add the $1,200 per person resource rebate payment as a separate line item on the PFD checks and check stubs /
1099*$ (for people that get direct deposit)

2 Not have any supplemental application process for persons that did not qualify for a 2008 PFD. (This removes an
estimated 40,000 persons that our supplemental process in our bill are estimated to pick up). This would save 40,000
x $1,200 in payments (over $40 million) and the $500,000 cost of Revenue to running the new resource rebate
program. These are persons in Alaska who don't qualify for a PFD because they have not been here long enough,

etc).

3. So that we do not miss veterans who receive VA benefits that are reduced by PFD payments so they do not even
apply for the PFD and woukJ otherwise be left out in the cold by limiting the $1 ,200 to persons getting PFD's, they
would creates a new alternative payment program for just those veterans. The cost for picking up the veterans alone
is probably under $7 million.

In my opinion, we cannot get the bill out of the committee without these amendments but will defer to Kelly on her measure of
the committee.

THANK YOU GOV My continued support, so far!

The 1200 is a reasonable and practical form of resource generated wealth distribution and i thank her
again..

Ms Faircloth and chairpersons, „, I have been reflecting on last weeks testimony „to the issue at hand....
Well, i am not sure you can addresss the issue without having to hear the pain... my cup runneth over...
out ot the pain testimony may come our answer, or should i say your answer... I already have mine and i
am simply listening to see if i am wrong or left out something....

before I begin, AEA and S. Haagenson, Testimony and public participation... Not There..

You guys in Juneau, no major state wide people owned CNN type channel for us to hold participate...just
stupid if not lazy

However: this does not address the problem because it does not define the problem!!

We all know what the problem is ... .

Our leadership and our inability to hold them accountable for their actions which are a result of our

dead asses not geting up and geting involved to make a better and more free community OR, even

passing mandatory 10 to 15 year prison terms for public officials who betray us..

Nearly all of us have forgotten that the Energy belongs to us - Not some child like, fantacy, farcical,

I feel sorry for them unless they hold a means of public information or public office or other public
interests impact., then i ususlly get upset...

NUMBERS show me the Numbers in your mind.... what and where is your thinking.??

1 billion = 1,000,000,000.oo

1 MW of electricity will do 1 ,000 housing units —

1 {large ) MW of electricity costs around , say 3 million dollars,,,, soo divide 3 mill into

1 ,000 million and we get

333 MW of Electricity which can provide 333 X 1 ,000 housing units annual electricity

which IS IS IS

333,000 housing units could have a reasonable amoount of annual electricity nearly for free for 25 to 50
years out..

Now, how many housing units are there in Alaska ?

(Have you studied( the # of housing units in the 2,000 census? @ 260,460)

So why would we give away 1 billion dollars for no resolve? But even worse you are depriving 333,000
dwellings of nearly free electricity for 25 to 30 years ??

I'm still here, but we might need a few more decades at the rate Congress is going. Unfortunately, I
dont have an heir who seems interested in public policy.

P.S.

Senator Stevens would say that he has been working on ANWR every since I960, when, as Solicitor of
the Inten'or Department, he helped draft the order which established the Arctic National Wildlife
Range. Hopefully, the voters will give the Senator a few more years to complete the mission.

Thank you, Secretary Leavitt, & welcome! I am happy to accept this award on
behalf of the State of AK. I want to welcome also Region 10 HHS Director James
Whitfield, & extend my heartfelt thanks to Comm. Hogan & Ann Potempa with the
Dpt. of Health & Social Services -thanks so much for your hard work promoting this
worthy program in our great state! Dr. Butler, thank you for being here, for working
to promote healthy lifestyles in AK, & for practicing what you preach! I am SO proud
of AKns for stepping up in such a big way during this IMat'l fitness challenge. The

2,800 AKns signing up & adding at least 30 minutes of running, biking, walking & dozens of
other activities to their day.

And we received strong support from inside the state system, too. The Dpt of Health &
Social Services challenged our other depts to participate, resulting in hundreds of our state
employees engaging in a little healthy competition (no pun intended)© - & with life-
changing results.

We are privileged to live in such a beautiful state, & AK offers endless opportunities to be
active, both indoors & out. Our people being our most precious commodity, ft is
important that AKns not only live LONG in the land, but that they live WELL in the land.
Starting out adding just that little bit of activity to each day -just 30 min. - is so important to
our overall physical, mental & emotional health & wellness. And when combined with a
balanced diet, this can help lower the risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, &
numerous other health problems.

AK's 1st~place finish shows that we are definitely moving in the right direction - in a
healthier direction - & that's GREAT news for the future of AK! My thanks again to Sec.
Leavitt for the presentation of this award; please give the President our best & thank him for
promoting healthy lifestyles in America; & again, congratulations to all the AKns who
participated in the program! Your longevity & healthy lifestyle truly is the best reward.
Thank you!

So that Molly doesn't have to contact adn editors to correct them and then be inundated
with questions, pis jot them a correction: she is HOT going through a divorce or custody
battle. It's been over, with the judge siding with her.

Also, fyi... I shall be meeting with kopp to more fully understand the situation we
discussed yesterday. I will not compromise on the commitment to open, honest communication
- and am disturbed to read a reporter's interpretation of his circumstances that seem to
have been made clearer yesterday. I won't rely on press to get to the bottom of all this
so I* '11 be talking to kopp again.

Walt's instructions

Todd- it occurred to me that the press has not understood Security Detail telling you to
share First Family safety concerns with DPS boss... but then also Walt's follow-up
instruction to bring forth any additional info. Wonder why the suggestion seems to be it
was improper to speak to Walt about safety concerns when it was public safety officials
(Walt himself!) asking that additional info be shared w him if there was any.

Dear Governor Palin,

On August 16, 2008, the Belle Fourche Chamber of Commerce and the City of Belle Fourche
will be celebrating the one year anniversary of the new "Geographic Center of the Nation
monument for the State of South Dakota, We will do this by ceremoniously raising all 50
state flags on the site. A designated representative from each state will be invited to
attend and raise their state flag.

//

PRA GSP01 0021739

Belle Fourche would like to extend an invitation to you and your family to help us
celebrate our accomplishment in constructing this monument; a monument that exemplifies
South Dakota's pride to be the "center of the nation." It is our wish for you to attend,
sharing this momentous day with invited dignitaries and guests from across the United
States. This dedication is also notable as producers for Good Morning America will be in
Belle Fourche filming the event and later broadcasting it for millions of viewers to see*

We believe as visitors travel to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse, they
will travel north to be at the center of this great nation and to Belle Fourche; a South
Dakota community that prides itself for it's wholesome growth and positive quality of
life*

Please RSVP is you plan to attend and additional information will be sent to your office.
A special Governor' s luncheon is being planned for noon that same day to kick-off our
celebration.

Sincerely,

Teresa Schanzenbach, Executive Director

Hello Governor Palin,

I wanted to tell you that it was real nice to see you up in Barrow, AK.

Since I was up there for there attending the Alaska Brain Injury Network board meeting at
the same time.

The next Board meeting is going to be the 14th and 15th of October and this meeting is
going to be in the office in Anchorage and that is at the Mental Health Trust building.

So I would really like if you and any other staff could come to the meeting on one of
those days, and meet all of the Alaska Brain Injury Network board members that are from
all around the state of Alaska.

I was appointed to the Ambassador Program by the Brain Injury Association of America back
in 1996.

But since then the Program has been cut back to State levels

All of the State Legislators know me and like to see me, when I give them some new
information about Traumatic Brain Injury.

;<

Governor Knowles, and Governor Murkowksi liked what I have been doing in the state

Would like to make contact with you and talk about Brain Injury in Alaska

Alaska has the highest rate in the Nation!

And a Brain Injury happens every 21 seconds and there is more Veterans coming back from
the war with a Brain Injury.

I would really like it if you would appoint me Ambassador for the State of Alaska

And I'm not looking for a paid job, just having the title Ambassador for the state of

Alaska.

That would be more impact to the different communities where the Alaska Brian Injury
Network is going to be having the Ambassador for the State of Alaska be at the meetings
also.

So that more people would be looking into this type of Injury.

Like I have been doing over the years getting the City of Kenai passing the Helmet law and
Kenai, Soldotna and the Peninsula Borough Assembly likes to get information from me also.

will talk to you later,

Sincerely,

Richard Warrington

How much does each alaskan get?

What share of the oil revenue goes to state government and what share would go to the
citizens?

Do you have an expert who could explain all this to me?

Would you be interested in writing or talking about this?

Thank you, Secretary Leavitt, & welcome! I am happy to accept this award on behalf of the
State of AK. I want to welcome also Region 10 HHS Director James Whitfield, & extend my
heartfelt thanks to Comm. Hogan & Ann Potempa with the Dpt. of Health & Social Services
- thanks so much for your hard work promoting this worthy program in our great statel Dr.
Butler, thank you for being here, for working to promote healthy lifestyles in AK, & for
practicing what you preach! I am SO proud of AKns for stepping up in such a big way
during this Natl fitness challenge. The Challenge kicked off on March 20, & we got off to a
running start with more than 2,800 AKns signing up & adding at least 30 minutes of
running, biking, walking & dozens of other activities to their day.

And we received strong support from inside the state system, too. The Dpt of Health &
Social Services challenged our other depts to participate, resulting in hundreds of our state
employees engaging in a little healthy competition (no pun intended)© - & with life-
changing results.

We are privileged to live in such a beautiful state, & AK offers endless opportunities to be

active, both indoors & out Our people being our most precious commodity, it is
important that AKns not only live LONG in the land, but that they live WELL in the land.
Starting out adding just that little bit of activity to each day -just 30 min. - is so important to
our overall physical, mental & emotional health & wellness. And when combined with a
balanced diet, this can help lower the risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, &
numerous other health problems.

AK's 1st-place finish shows that we are definitely moving in the right direction - in a
healthier direction - & that's GREAT news for the future of AK! My thanks again to Sec.
Leavitt for the presentation of this award; please give the President our best & thank him for
promoting healthy lifestyles in America; & again, congratulations to all the AKns who
participated in the program! Your longevity & healthy lifestyle truly is the best reward.
Thank you!

Subject: Gasline Communications Tomorrow

Governor,

Kurt and I have developed an "action plan" for tomorrow and we wanted you to be aware from the gasline
side.

Fagan was especially harsh and untruthful on the air today. He asked his listeners to call three Senators
who are "on the fence" and convert them so that AGIA dies. Among them: Con, Lyman, and Gary
Stevens. And he says that Donny will vote whichever way Lyman does. Bob Lester says he is going to do
a call your Senator to vote "yes" on AGIA. I would assume Mark may do the same. Our plan is to have
Dan Fauske call Fagan early afternoon and say that he and Kurt are going to be in the neighborhood just
before 4pm and will stop by to go on the air from 4p to 5p. Hopefully Fagan will let them in. It is our feeling
that you need someone on the air with Fagan to counter the shananigans. He was waaaaay over the top
today.

Re; gasline briefing. A gasline team member will record this week if that's okay with you. We feel that if s
important a message go out tomorrow and we are basing our message on the misleading BP letter to
Senators. We will certainly make sure that you know the contents of that briefing.

Rosanne asked for an AGIA Update for the newsletter that will be heading out either tomorrow or
sometime in the next couple of days. Below is the copy which Kurt and I submitted to her. It's an FYt for
you.

Please let us know if you have any other thoughts re: communications.

Thanks,
Meg

The dread here is that well be taught another lesson re: using someone's email addy list.,
remember at end of regular session when biz lie fee email solicitation went out en masse - the
effort pretty much backfired when Wesley Loy "exposed" the "inappropriateness of state email".
This will be happening again with this issue, so please be ready to respond to inquiries. In fact, it
may be good to be proactive on this one and have an explanation go out before the hammering

Governor,

I take responsibility for this going out I spoke with Bill about it earlier today, but never ran it past you. We
have been getting lots of pressure from senate dems that are with us, but who want "cover" because they
are getting calls and emails against AGIA. We rushed on this due to the sense of urgency from the
senators.

LEGISLATIVE ALERT - CALL YOUR ALASKA SENATOR TODAY!

PRA GSP01 0021767

Page 2 of 4

Top 10 Reasons to Vote "Yes" on Authorization to Issue the AGIA License to
TransCanada Alaska Company, LLC and Foothills Pipe Lines, Ltd.

1. TransCanada Alaska Company, LLC (TC Alaska") and its parent corporation, TransCanada
Corporation, are high-quality companies in the business of building and operating natural gas
pipelines throughout North America.

2. Through an AGIA license, TC Alaska makes legally enforceable commitments to:

• Hire Alaskans;

• Meet in-state energy needs;

• Adhere to a firm timeline for project development all the way through FERC certification;
and

• Reduce tariffs and increase expansion opportunities that encourage exploration and
development of the North Slope gas basin, which provide the basis for long-term careers,
economic security and energy security for Alaskans.

3. If TC Alaska violates any legally enforceable commitments made under the AGIA license,
consequences include recoupment of state reimbursements made under AGIA and state
acquisition of project data acquired by TC Alaska during the license term.

4. TC Alaska offers a project that is economically and technically viable, and that maximizes
benefits to Alaskans.

5. TC Alaska faces fewer permitting obstacles in Canada, and, as an independent pipeline

company, does not raise the antitrust legal issues that might affect a producer-owned gas
pipeline.

6. Award of an AGIA license to TC Alaska provides the opportunity to bring all parties together while
still protecting Alaska's interests.

7. Award of an AGIA license does not commit the state to anything more than the inducements
specified in the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act:

• Up to $500 million reimbursement for qualified expenditures;

• Benefits of an AGIA coordinator and expedited state permit review;

• Exclusive enjoyment of the AGIA inducements prior to the commencement of commercial
operation.

8. Award of an AGIA license to TC Alaska allows the state to assist smaller pipeline projects that
can provide gas for instate needs or spur line projects off the AGIA mainline.

9. A gas pipeline company owned by major North Slope oil and gas producers, and that is not
licensed under AGIA, may be subject to management decisions that reflect the best interests of
the owners, rather than the pipeline company. For example, the gas pipeline company may
benefit from expanding the pipeline, but if such an expansion competes with producers' interests,
the producer-owners may not allow the expansion.

10. Without authorization to issue the AGIA license to TC Alaska, Alaska will once again be
dependent on the major North Slope producers for pipeline development and that means:

• Project development on the producers' timeline that fits with their worldwide plans;

• Negotiations on fiscal concessions with the producers holding most of the cards; and

• Far fewer tools to protect Alaska's interests or to develop Alaska's natural gas resources in
a way that maximizes benefits to Alaskans.

• Reduce tariffs and increase expansion opportunities that encourage exploration and

economic security and energy security for Alaskans.

8. Award of an AGIA license to TC Alaska allows the state to assist smaller pipeline projects that

Top 10 Reasons to Vote "Yes" on Authorization to Issue the AGIA License to

1. TransCanada Alaska Company, LLC (TC Alaska") and its parent corporation,

• Hire Alaskans;

♦ Meet in-state energy needs;

♦ Adhere to a firm timeline for project development all the way through FERC
certification; and

• Reduce tariffs and increase expansion opportunities that encourage exploration and
development of the North Slope gas basin, which provide the basis for long-term
careers, economic security and energy security for Alaskans.

3. If TC Alaska violates any legally enforceable commitments made under the AGIA license,
consequences include recoupment of state reimbursements made under AGIA and state
acquisition of project data acquired by TC Alaska during the license term.

4. TC Alaska offers a project that is economically and technically viable, and that maximizes
benefits to Alaskans.

5. TC Alaska faces fewer permitting obstacles in Canada, and, as an independent pipeline
company, does not raise the antitrust legal issues that might affect a producer-owned gas
pipeline.

6. Award of an AGIA license to TC Alaska provides the opportunity to bring all parties together while
still protecting Alaska's interests.

7. Award of an AGIA license does not commit the state to anything more than the inducements
specified in the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act:

• Up to $500 million reimbursement for qualified expenditures;

• Benefits of an AGIA coordinator and expedited state permit review;

• Exclusive enjoyment of the AGIA inducements prior to the commencement of commercial
operation.

8. Award of an AGIA license to TC Alaska allows the state to assist smaller pipeline projects that
can provide gas for instate needs or spur line projects off the AGIA mainline.

9. A gas pipeline company owned by major North Slope oil and gas producers, and that is not
licensed under AGIA, may be subject to management decisions that reflect the best interests of
the owners, rather than the pipeline company. For example, the gas pipeline company may
benefit from expanding the pipeline, but if such an expansion competes with producers' interests,
the producer-owners may not allow the expansion.

10. Without authorization to issue the AGIA license to TC Alaska, Alaska will once again be
dependent on the major North Slope producers for pipeline development and that means:

• Project development on the producers* timeline that fits with their worldwide plans;

• Negotiations on fiscal concessions with the producers holding most of the cards; and

• Far fewer tools to protect Alaska's interests or to develop Alaska's natural gas resources in
a way that maximizes benefits to Alaskans.

Call your Alaska State Senator TODAY and urge him or her to vote YES to award the state

license to TransCanada.

Randy,

We have received roughly 60 emails regarding the Governor's decision to replace
Monegan. A little over half of those emails are against the Governor's decision and the
rest of them support her.

i

We've also received 25 emails regarding the appointment of Comm. Kopp. 16 are in
support of him and live rest are not.

Since these Monegan/Kopp emails are continuous, I plan to print them out at the end of
each day for you and Mike Nizich to review. If you think they need to be reviewed
more often/ please let me know. I would be happy to print them as they come.

development of the North Slope gas basin, which provide the basis for long-term
careers, economic security and energy security for Alaskans.

3. If TC Alaska violates any legally enforceable commitments made under the AGIA license,
consequences include recoupment of state reimbursements made under AGIA and state
acquisition of project data acquired by TC Alaska during the license term.

4. TC Alaska offers a project that is economically and technically viable, and that maximizes
benefits to Alaskans.

5. TC Alaska faces fewer permitting obstacles in Canada, and, as an independent pipeline
company, does not raise the antitrust legal issues that might affect a producer-owned gas
pipeline.

6. Award of an AGIA license to TC Alaska provides the opportunity to bring all parties
together while still protecting Alaska's interests.

7. Award of an AGIA license does not commit the state to anything more than the inducements
specified in the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act:

• Up to $500 million reimbursement for qualified expenditures;

• Benefits of an AGIA coordinator and expedited state permit review;

• Exclusive enjoyment of the AGIA inducements prior to the commencement of commercial
operation.

8. Award of an AGIA license to TC Alaska allows the state to assist smaller pipeline projects that
can provide gas for instate needs or spur line projects off the AGIA mainline.

9. A gas pipeline company owned by major North Slope oil and gas producers, and that is not
licensed under AGIA, may be subject to management decisions that reflect the best interests of
the owners, rather than the pipeline company. For example, the gas pipeline company may
benefit from expanding the pipeline, but if such an expansion competes with producers' interests,
the producer-owners may not allow the expansion.

10. Without authorization to issue the AGIA license to TC Alaska, Alaska will once again be
dependent on the major North Slope producers for pipeline development and that means:

• Project development on the producers' timeline that fits with their worldwide plans;

• Negotiations on fiscal concessions with the producers holding most of the cards; and

• Far fewer tools to protect Alaska's interests or to develop Alaska's natural gas resources in
a way that maximizes benefits to Alaskans.

Call your Alaska State Senator TODAY and urge him or her to vote YES to award the state

license to TransCanada.

As of today:
HOUSE

1. HB 4002 - Resource Rebate bill moved as amended to add the $1,200 as a line item on the pfd
onto the House Finance Committee. It is scheduled for a hearing on Saturday. Karen, Jerry
Burnett, and I are carrying the bill. In the House Community and Regional Affairs Committee,
Salmon and Olson signed "do pass" recommendations, (which is usually a pretty strong show of
support for a bill). Fairclough, Dahlstrom, and LeDoux signed "no recommendation" which is
usually a sign they are on the fence. Neuman was our only strong opponent of the bill and signed
as a "do not pass* recommendation. All legislators are free to vote however they want on the
floor.

2. HB 4003 -Energy Appropriations bill moved as amended to show the $50 million in savings
from the Olson amendment to the resource rebate bill which eliminated the supplemental
application process onto the House Finance Committee. It is scheduled for a hearing on
Saturday. As the resource rebate bill stands now, only persons found eligible for the 2008 pfd will
get the $1,200 resource rebate! The committee requested, and we agreed completed with the
committee to work on an amendment that would pick up the veterans who would otherwise be left
out of the resource rebate. This is a group of roughly 400 elderly and non-service disabled
veterans who do not apply for the PFD now because the feds offeet the income against their VA
benefits. Salmon and LeDoux were the "do pass" votes with Neuman the only "do not pass"
again.

3* HB 4004 - Motor Fuel Tax bill moved as amended out of the House Labor and Commerce
committee. Gatto and Neuman were the "do pass" votes on the bill, Gardner and Buch were the
"do not pass" votes, and Ramras and Olson were the "no recommendation" votes. The bill moved
on to the House Finance Committee, It is scheduled for a hearing on Monday. Not much public
support showing up for this bill, t think the urban D's (Buch, Gardner) oppose it because the
Alaska Conservation League? showed up and basically testified as I interpreted it that if you lower
the price of fuel, people will use more of it and we will move more slowly towards alternative fuels,
and that there is no guarantee the tax savings will be passed onto the consumers. Cora and \ are
meeting with UFA and other fishing groups tomorrow to try and get them interested in the bill and
the savings it would provide to Alaska commercial and charter fishermen, many of whom live in
rural areas.

SENATC

1. SB 4002 - Resource Rebate bill was heard and held in Senate Finance. I will try to work
tomorrow with the committee aide for Stedman to review issues and answer any questions I can.

9/18/2009

PRA GSP01 0021808

Page 2 of 2

No schedule yet that I am aware for the committee taking up the bill again.

2. SB 4003 - Energy Appropriations bill was heard and held fn Senate Finance.

3. SB 4004 » Motor Fuel Tax bill was heard and held in Senate Finance. From his questions, I think Bert
believes that most or a good part of the savings for fishermen from not paying the motor fuel tax woukJ go
to non-resident fishermen buying fuel in Dutch Harbor, t am trying to put together some stats on Alaska
resident permit holders and resident charter fishermen to show significant savings go to Alaskans. I will
work on this tomorrow.

Thanks,

We will continue trying to move full speed ahead.

Governor,

I take responsibility for this going out. \ spoke with Bill about it earlier today t but never ran it past you. We
have been getting lots of pressure from senate dems that are with us, but who want "cover" because they
are getting calls and emails against AGIA. We rushed on this due to the sense of urgency from the
senators.

Top 10 Reasons to Vote "Yes" on Authorization to Issue the AGIA License to
TransCanada Alaska Company, LLC and Foothills Pipe Lines, Ltd.

1. TransCanada Alaska Company, LLC (TC Alaska") and its parent corporation, TransCanada
Corporation, are high-quality companies in the business of building and operating natural gas
pipelines throughout North America.

2. Through an AGIA license, TC Alaska makes legally enforceable commitments to:

• Hire Alaskans;

• Meet in-state energy needs;

• Adhere to a firm timeline for project development ail the way through FERC certification;
and

• Reduce tariffs and increase expansion opportunities that encourage exploration and
development of the North Slope gas basin, which provide the basis for long-term careers,
economic security and energy security for Alaskans.

3. If TC Alaska violates any legally enforceable commitments made under the AGIA license,
consequences include recoupment of state reimbursements made under AGIA and state
acquisition of project data acquired by TC Alaska during the license term.

4. TC Alaska offers a project that is economically and technically viable, and that maximizes
benefits to Alaskans.

5. TC Alaska faces fewer permitting obstacles in Canada, and, as an independent pipeline

company, does not raise the antitrust legal issues that might affect a producer-owned gas
pipeline.

6. Award of an AGIA license to TC Alaska provides the opportunity to bring all parties together white
still protecting Alaska's interests.

7. Award of an AGIA license does not commit the state to anything more than the inducements
specified in the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act:

• Up to $500 million reimbursement for qualified expenditures; i

• Benefits of an AGIA coordinator and expedited state permit review; !

• Exclusive enjoyment of the AGIA inducements prior to the commencement of commercial

operation. |

8. Award of an AGIA license to TC Alaska allows the state to assist smaller pipeline projects that
can provide gas for instate needs or spur line projects off the AGIA mainline.

9. A gas pipeline company owned by major North Slope oil and gas producers, and that is not
licensed under AGIA, may be subject to management decisions that reflect the best interests of
the owners, rather than the pipeline company. For example, the gas pipeline company may
benefit from expanding the pipeline, but if such an expansion competes with producers' interests,
the producer-owners may not allow the expansion.

10. Without authorization to issue the AGIA license to TC Alaska, Alaska will once again be
dependent on the major North Slope producers for pipeline development and that means:

• Project development on the producers 1 timeline that fits with their worldwide plans;

• Negotiations on fiscal concessions with the producers holding most of the cards; and

♦ Far fewer tools to protect Alaska's interests or to develop Alaska's natural gas resources in
a way that maximizes benefits to Alaskans.

High-Impact Firms Create Alaska's Jobs And Growth

State Has 1,117 Of These important Firms

WASHINGTON, D.C. - "High-impact" firms create Alaska's new jobs and growth,
according to a study recently released by the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business
Administration. Distributed across all industries, high-impact firms account for almost all
employment and revenue growth in the national economy, the study concludes.

9/18/2009

PRA GSP01 0021819

Page 2 of 2

Of the 376,604 high impact firms identified by researchers nationwide, 1,1 17 are located in
Alaska. That number represents 2.76 percent of Alaska's firms.

The study High-Impact Firms: Gazelles Revisited, defines high-impact firms as those whose sales
have at least doubled over a four-year period and which have an employment "growth quantifier" (the
firm's absolute change in employment multiplied by the percent change) of two or more-

The study notes that such firms are found across all industries and in all geographic regions. It
ranks regions, states, metropolitan statistical areas, and counties by their percentage of high-impact
firms. The study finds, with some data limitations, that high-impact firms are not start-ups but are on
average around 25 years old, and that they come in all size classes. The report also documents that over
the periods studied, nearly all job losses came from large, low-impact firms.

"High-impact firms are important to Alaska's economic growth and development," said Dr. Chad
Moutray, Chief Economist for the Office of Advocacy. "State policy makers would be wise to consider
how their policies can encourage such firms."

The Office of Advocacy, the "small business watchdog" of the federal government, examines the
role and status of small business in the economy and independently represents the views of small
business to federal agencies, Congress, and the President It is the source for small business statistics
presented in user-friendly formats, and it funds research into small business issues.

For more information, a complete copy of the report and rankings of high-impact firms by region,
state, MSA, and county, visit the Office of Advocacy website at www.sba.gov/advo .

The Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is an independent voice for small business
within the federal government The presidentially appointed Chief Counsel for Advocacy advances the views,
concerns, and interests of small business before Congress, the White House, federal agencies, federal courts, and
state policy makers. For more information, visit www.sba.gov/advo, or call (202) 205-6533.

July 24, 2008

Dear Fellow Alaskan,

A well-trained, well-educated workforce is critical for Alaska businesses to remain competitive in
today's global, high-tech economy. We must make development of our workforce a top priority.
We will not be satisfied with any kind of job, but jobs that create a better quality of life.

Historically, the state's job development efforts have relied heavily on federal funding for
programs such as adult basic education, training and employment. The list goes on, but the
bottom line is that a bare minimum of state funding has been invested in these successful
programs. Some of the responsibility for increasing the number of Alaska hires lies with Alaska
businesses, but the state must also do a better job of preparing a workforce capable of filling the
jobs that are critical to our economic success.

We will continue to work with the Alaska Legislature \o change the story by supporting targeted
investments and placing more emphasis on state funding for workforce awareness and
preparation.

The State Training and Employment Program (STEP), which was recently extended for two
years, provides training for Alaskans in high-demand jobs and fills gaps not met by federal
programs. Operated by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development
(DOLWD), STEP has trained nearly 30,000 Alaska workers over the last 19 years. These
participants earned more than $71 million in Alaska wages in the first year following their
training, a 35 percent increase over pre-training earnings. The long-term benefit: more than 90
percent of STEP participants remain in Alaska.

Our ground-breaking partnerships - between business and industry, education and state
government - are creating successful opportunities, We're investing an additional $2.3 million
for DOLWD*s Alaska Youth First program. Together with the Department of Education and
Early Development's Work Keys program, Alaska Youth First provides career awareness and
basic work skills development in our schools. A DOLWD partnership with school districts and
the private sector has seen the advent and growth of the Alaska construction academies, which
are training both in- and out-of-school youth as well as young adult workers in basic
construction, welding and other skills. We are using existing facilities to offer basic skills
development - for youth and adults -.for entry into construction careers. And we are restoring
vocational training in our secondary schools.

The Alaska Vocational Technical Center (AVTEC) and regional training centers around the state

9/18/2009

PRA GSP01 0021821

Page 2 of 2

are putting more emphasis on offering training to Alaska's youth. AVTEC offers quality training in
numerous high-paying occupations and will see a much-needed face-lift. Our regional training centers
offer training in partnership with industry. And the University of Alaska is seeing an increase for
significant expansions to its engineering and allied health programs, offering substantial and successful
career opportunities to more Alaskans.

And to connect trainees with jobs, Labor Commissioner Click Bishop is pursuing agreements with
business and industry to provide more entry-level jobs for Alaskans, including registered
apprenticeships and structured on-the-job training agreements, and adding employment opportunities
for industry-related occupational training.

With targeted state investments aimed toward closing the skills gap and providing Alaska's employers
with trained workers, we will see more career opportunities that will keep our young workers at home,
and offer better jobs to thousands of underemployed and unemployed Alaskans.

Until next time,

Governor Sarah Palin

1. REPUBLIC SERVICES REJECTS WASTE MANAGEMENT OFFER

The board of directors of Republic Services, Inc. unanimously rejected
Waste Management's $6.3 billion offer to purchase the company as an
alternative to Republic's plans to merge with Allied Waste Industries. In
a letter to Waste Management CEO David Steiner, James O'Connor,
Republic's chairman and CEO, suggested that Waste Management's offer
of $34 per share for Republic's stock was not significantly higher than
the stock's recent trading levels, and he noted that w the merger between

Republic and Allied wilt create significant value-generating opportunities,
including significant cost saving synergies." By comparison, *a
transaction with Waste Management will involve significant additional
regulatory complexities and delays compared to the merger between
Republic and Allied given the greater number of overlaps and the
requirement to comply with Waste Managements 1999 consent decree."

In response, Waste Management issued a press release expressing the
company's disappointment at the Republic board's "unwillingness to
consider Waste Management's proposal as one that could reasonably be
expected to lead to a superior proposal.".. Read Wore »

year. The company reported that average fuel costs rose about 55%
year over year, increasing its total fuel expense by $8 million. The
results were basically in fine with analysts 1 expectations. Chairman and

Arthur incinerator. Committee Chairman 3ohn Dingell (D-Mich.),
Environment and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee Chairman Gene

Dear Governor Palin,

We are writing to ask you to support the $1 million grant for improvements to the Kincaid Park Regional
Facility. Soccer is the fastest growing sport in our state and fields are needed to meet demand.

The money would be used to install a water system that would benefit the soccer fields in the summer
and also make snow in the winter for skiing events.

This is NOT just an Anchorage project rather a sports facility that wilt be used by groups statewide.
Soccer players from around the state frequently participate in games and tournaments in Anchorage
and we are in dire need of good turf. We believe this project is consistent with other sports facility
projects that you have approved funding for and appreciate your consideration of this project.

Thank you and keep up the good work,

I believe that our Republican Party badly needs you. Please give prayerful consideration
to this request. We are in danger of becoming the old white man's party and need you and
your fresh face and perspective to save our ideals.

I will glady contribute to your candidancy. I wish you and your new son the best,

could do a better job both for rural and urban areas. He grew up in rural Alaska and
understands the problems we face.

He has an excellent grasp of rural issues in our villages. Fort example, alcoholism,
resulting in abuse of our children, as well as underage drinking, are common. He knows
how to deal with this problem.

Governor
As of today:
HOUSE

1. HB 4002 - Resource Rebate bill moved as amended to add the $1 ,200 as a line item on the pfd onto the House
Finance Committee. It is scheduled for a hearing on Saturday. Karen, Jerry Burnett, and I are carrying the bill. In
the House Community and Regional Affairs Committee, Salmon and Olson signed "do pass" recommendations,
(which is usually a pretty strong show of support for a bill). Fairclough, Dahistrom, and LeDoux signed "no
recommendation 1 ' which is usually a sign they are on the fence. Neuman was our only strong opponent of the bill
and signed as a "do not pass" recommendation. All legislators are free to vote however they want on the floor.

2. HB 4003 - Energy Appropriations bill moved as amended to show the $50 million in savings from the Olson
amendment to the resource rebate bill which eliminated the supplemental application process onto the House
Finance Committee. It is scheduled for a hearing on Saturday. As the resource rebate bill stands now, only persons
found eligible for the 2008 pfd will get the $1 ,200 resource rebate. The committee requested, and we agreed
completed with the committee to work on an amendment that would pick up the veterans who would otherwise be left
out of the resource rebate. This is a group of roughly 400 elderly and non-service disabled veterans who do not
apply for the PFD now because the feds offset the income against their VA benefits. Salmon and LeDoux were the
"do pass" votes with Neuman the only "do not pass" again.

3. HB 4004 - Motor Fuel Tax bill moved as amended out of the House Labor and Commerce committee. Gatto and
Neuman were the "do pass" votes on the bill, Gardner and Buch were the "do not pass* votes, and Ramras and
Olson were the "no recommendation" votes. The bill moved on to the House Finance Committee. It is scheduled for
a hearing on Monday. Not much public support showing up for this bill, f think the urban D*s (Buch, Gardner)
oppose it because the Alaska Conservation League? showed up and basically testified as I interpreted it that if you
lower the price of fuel, people will use more of it and we will move more slowly towards alternative fuels, and that
there is no guarantee the tax savings will be passed onto the consumers. Cora and f are meeting with UFA and
other fishing groups tomorrow to try and get them interested in the bill and Ihe savings it would provide to Alaska
commercial and charter fishermen, many of whom five in rural areas.

SENATE

1. SB 4002 - Resource Rebate bill was heard and held in Senate Finance. I wilt try to work tomorrow with the
committee aide for Stedman to review issues and answer any questions I can. No schedule yet that I am aware for
the committee taking up the bill again.

2. SB 4003 — Energy Appropriations bill was heard and held in Senate Finance.

3. SB 4004 - Motor Fuel Tax bill was heard and held in Senate Finance. From his questions, I think Bert believes that
most or a good part of the savings for fishermen from not paying the motor fuel tax would go to non-resident
fishermen buying fuel in Dutch Harbor. I am trying to put together some stats on Alaska resident permit holders and
resident charter fishermen to show significant savings go to Alaskans. I will work on this tomorrow.

Thanks,

We will continue trying to move full speed ahead.

Subject: Senator Stevens/East-V\fest Corridors

I havent heard anything further from Senator Stevens in response to my inquiry- Unless you fee! otherwise, I'm
not inclined to ask him again.

The Senator knows that we have sought to consult. Further, he has generally favored the construction of roads
and infrastructure needed to facilitate commerce and natural resource development In this regard/ 1 recall his
support during ANILCA for an East-West corridor along the southern flank of the Brooks Range.

So, I believe that he is likely to support the concept of East-West corridors now as long as the responsibility for
finding the required funds does not fall inordinately on him. I doubt that there would be much federal funding
beyond the State's usual highway allocations, particularly since there could be environmental opposition.

Earlier today, I responded to a general inquiry from Commissioner von Scheben concerning the Fairbanks to
Nome corridor. For whatever the/re worth, I've excerpted these comments below.

I am intrigued by the idea of an East-West transportation route from Fairbanks to Nome. As you know,
this Issue has been discussed before, but it seems to be gaining some positive momentum that didnt
exist previously.

My concerns are making sure that there are sufficient resources and other benefits to justify the cost
funding from State and federal sources, and the need to avoid federal lands to the extent possible. The
latter issue relates to the problem of obtaining rights of way across federal lands.

In any event, I think that, if the Idea flies with the Governor and you, it becomes a case of nothing
ventured, nothing gained.

On your last communication you did alert me to the feet that Governor Palm's schedule is indeed very busy (a feet
which I do understand completely) and that it was not possible to give me a definite acceptance of my invitation

back on June 3 rd when I sent the invitation originally.

However, I must now respectfully ask whether you can confirm Governor Palin for this Keynote opportunity in view
of the fact that several very senior Government and Industry individuals have firmly allocated this event in their
schedules, due to the high-level nature of the gathering.

I feel that this would provide an excellent platform for Governor Palin toward some of the most respected and
influential individuals and organizations in North American E&P and, alas, production timing and planning
constraints are now upon me in order to finalize the meeting.

I very much appreciate your feedback and attention to this and \ hope that the growing importance of the
conference is recognized by the Governor and the administrative office of the Alaskan Government considering
your role in the North American energy community and the important project proposals which are now coming to
the fore in the Alaska region.

Many thanks for your ongoing help and interest in the conference.

Kind regards,

Tom

Houston, October 2008

Importance: High

Dear Governor Palin,

I hope this email finds you very well and belated congratulations to you and your husband on the birth of your fifth
child back in April.

I am the Conference Producer for E&P Technology Summit in Houston this October; I have some good news for
you regarding the Conference Program and I needed to furnish you with this invitation,

I wanted to get in touch with you as the Government of Alaska has been highly recommended by your peers
within the North American Exploration & Production industry in view of the innovative projects you are involved in
with relation to your E&P collaboration work in the North American energy community. During my research for our
upcoming North American E&P Technology Summit, your work was referenced a number of times and as a
leading industry figure I would like to invite you to appear as a Keynote Speaker at this year's Summrt I have
followed with interest your Government's achievements in this field during my time at Petroleum Economist
journal in London and 1, personally, would be delighted to have you involved.

The E&P Technology Summit brings together North America's leading Upstream executives to network,
establish key relationships and learn about some of the most critical and innovative technologies and practices in
the marketplace today. After three highly successful years of producing the Summit in Europe we are now
crossing the Atlantic to provide a knowledge platform for the emerging and major operators in the Western
Hemisphere. Details of October's Houston Summit can be found here:

www.exproeventcom

I am pleased to report that the Summit has already made an impact in the Upstream community and fellow
Confirmed Speakers who have recentfy confirmed their attendance and presentations for October include:

Randall Luthi, Director, U.S. Department of the Interior's Minerals Management Service
Stephen Brand, SVP Technology, ConocoPhillips
Steven Hinchman, EVP Technology & Services, Marathon Oil

• Dan Naatz, VP Federal Resources and Political Affairs, Independent Petroleum Association of America

The Summit is scheduled for October 27 th -29 th this year at the Hilton Americas, Houston conveniently located
in the Downtown City area.

This would represent an excellent opportunity to address the influential North American oil & gas community
directly and present your E&P project experiences and successes. I'd be particularly interested in content focused
towards your experiences with:

• Enhanced Oil Recovery

• Rising Project Costs

• Access to Resources & Legislative Challenges

• Workforce Challenges

Here are some ideas on key focus areas of the Conference Program; of course I would be very happy to hear
your ideas and tailor this towards recent developments you may have encountered during your work. I'd be
particularly interested in a "big picture" view of the work that the Government of Alaska achieves and
your perspective on Alaskan E&P for the future:

The Last Frontier - Evaluating the viability of Alaska's mature fields and the fundamental
challenge of bringing hydrocarbons to the North Am erican market

• Outlining access to Alaskan resources and an overview of 40 years of Alaskan E&P; the
established operators, the lessons learned and the new wave of emerging players in the coldest
state

• Analyzing the latest pipeline projects and the challenges to be overcome in innovative engineering
and hydrocarbon transportation over major distances

• Evaluating the technologies and strategies in play to meet the challenges of bringing hydrocarbons
to market from a remote area

• Achieving balance in project costs and profitable hydrocarbon recovery from mature fields in
Prudhoe Bay, the North Slope & Cook Inlet and managing increased E&P in hostile environments

Or

Analyzing successful E&P strategies incorporating environmental responsibility and Government
collaboration in Alaska; what we can learn as an industry and assessing the applications to vour
own operations

• A Poster-Child for Proactive E&P? - perspectives on working toward common energy goals
whilst collaborating in economic growth and minimal environmental impact

• Assessing strategies in creating local prosperity, environmental stewardship and navigating
remote and hazardous environments to unlock massive hydrocarbon resources

• Understanding technologies involved in unconventional and remote resource plays and
applications across North American E&P for your operations

expertise. Please find the full Conference Program outlined on our website.

As my personal guest you would of course receive free access to the entire three-dav event including all
networking opportunities, access to the conference program and meals at the Hilton Americas.

I will make a note to call you soon if I haven't heard from you to discuss this opportunity further and, of course, I'd
be most interested to hear your expertise on the issues proposed. If you, yourself, are not able to take this
opportunity, then perhaps you might be able to recommend one of your senior management for the role.

Many thanks and I look forward to speaking with you soon,

Tom

Subject: Re: Legislative Action Alert!

Couple of things went into consideration here.

First, our core supporters are fine, but that count only gets us to 10. We have amendments to worry about
and possibly the effective date. Some of the folks on the edges asked if we could get letters to the editor
and emails coming. This action alert was supposed to help drive emails and phone calls. There is a
sepenate track for letters to the editor.

Second, the list this was sent to is the newsletter list It is far fewer in number than the business license
list and its been in circulation for some time. People who don't want to be on it have probably let us know

and been removed. I will verity whether it is an opt in or opt out system in the morning and be sure to
stress that with press in the am.

Third, our solid supporters in the majority may not have a majority of their caucus.Jts close. They are not
of a mind to push very hard without some cover. They need to be able to point to some outside forces if
they are going to push against their leadership. Our only apparent ally within the leadership is Gary
Stevens, and he's not exactly known for his fortitude.

Finally, I want to apologize to Mike, Kelly, and particularly to the Governor. I should have talked directly to
each of you and did not That's not team play and there may have been different judgements by each of
you given these considerations. I didn't give you that opportunity and that wasn't fair. I am sorry.

2. Through an AGIA license, TC Alaska makes legally enforceable commitments to:

• Hire Alaskans;

• Meet in-state energy needs;

• Adhere to a firm timeline for project development all the way through FERC certification;
and

• Reduce tariffs and increase expansion opportunities that encourage exploration and
development of the North Slope gas basin, which provide the basis for long-term careers,
economic security and energy security for Alaskans.

3. If TC Alaska violates any legally enforceable commitments made under the AGIA license,
consequences include recoupment of state reimbursements made under AGIA and state
acquisition of project data acquired by TC Alaska during the license term.

4. TC Alaska offers a project that is economically and technically viable, and that maximizes
benefits to Alaskans.

5. TC Alaska faces fewer permitting obstacles in Canada, and, as an independent pipeline

company, does not raise the antitrust legal issues that might affect a producer-owned gas
pipeline.

6. Award of an AGIA license to TC Alaska provides the opportunity to bring all parties together while
still protecting Alaska's interests.

7. Award of an AGIA license does not commit the state to anything more than the inducements
specified in the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act:

♦ Up to $500 million reimbursement for qualified expenditures;

♦ Benefits of an AGIA coordinator and expedited state permit review;

♦ Exclusive enjoyment of the AGIA inducements prior to the commencement of commercial
operation.

8. Award of an AGIA license to TC Alaska allows the state to assist smaller pipeline projects that
can provide gas for instate needs or spur line projects off the AGIA mainline.

9. A gas pipeline company owned by major North Slope oil and gas producers, and that is not
licensed under AGIA, may be subject to management decisions that reflect the best interests of

9/18/2009

PRA GSP01 0021856

s

the owners, rather than the pipeline company. For example, the gas pipeline company may
benefit from expanding the pipeline, but if such an expansion competes with producers' interests,
the producer-owners may not allow the expansion.

10. Without authorization to issue the AGIA license to TO Alaska, Alaska will once again be
dependent on the major North Slope producers for pipeline development and that means:

• Project development on the producers' timeline that fits with their worldwide plans;

• Negotiations on fiscal concessions with the producers holding most of the cards; and

• Far fewer tools to protect Alaska's interests or to develop Alaska's natural gas resources in
a way that maximizes benefits to Alaskans.

Call your Alaska State Senator TODAY and urge him or her to vote YES to award the state

license to TransCanada.

or I did not have enough passion,

or they could see me comming even bigger, now,

or too edgy,

or tooo far ahead of my time .•.-.Or,,.'

Anyway, it is always my honor to be able to talk to you and most of your staff, I know you have
to be busy,

Its too bad Energy seems to be moving/herding us/ me in a hurry...

I would liked to have had this emial from you before i drafted and sent my long
commentaries to the legislature and other places yesterday and before,, and on the Fairbanks
Goal Gassification project insider meeting..

In those commentaries i made an // or some accusations / or strong comments referencing
you, you department, Coal /Fossil Fuel Marketers, and some of our leaders....

I am thinking we should meet on camera while your having your daily-weekly energy update
on our great new alaska; and our many new and magnificent harmonic energy projects we have
under way;

With the citizens being able to call in and add comments, and ask questions of you and your

Subject: Re: Kasilof River sockeye salmon personal use and sport fishery expansion

I am sorry but the response is incomplete and not factual. It is written in a tone that is dismissive and
insulting.

There are reasonable questions about management actions, potential lies and misrepresentations of
facts, and legal authority. Just writing a note that says we are in our legal authority and not answer
specific questions does not help the discourse.

For example, how does the ADF&G and law resolve the issue of the 10 July restriction being announced
two months prior to the season and the PMA case that dealt with this type of action.

How can a director of Commercial Fisheries tell the public two different stories in two different forums - 1
asked for a reference to the Board of Fish tapes which this Director said the staff listened too. No
reference is provided so does that mean the Director of Commercial Fisheries Division lied to the public?

Relative to the emergency orders reducing bag limits In the sport fisheries there is a legal question about
authority - what is that authority the ADF&G used to take these actions and how do they resolve those
answers with the law saying the fisheries should be closed?

Please answer the questions with specifics not the arrogant attitude expressed in the attached letter.

Telling me to take something to the Board of Fisheries when m point of fact I am questioning the authority
of ADF&G is just a silly meaningless comment

The ADF&G leadership has been lacking for sometime and I guess the only recourse, if one cannot get
reasonable answers, is to change the leadership.

I and others will be working with our local representatives to do just that in the upcoming elections, budget
discussion for ADF&G, and other avenues to get straight and honest answers to reasonable questions.

Governor ,

I just spoke with TransCanada after their meeting with FERC. The message TC pounded home
to Commissioner Kelliher was that the AGIA' expansion and Debt to Equity provisions of
AGIA ensure the federal government monetary returns are $55 billion before the pipeline
expands from 4.5 bcf/d to 5*9 bcf/d and $70 billion after expansion. Therefore the feds
have a huge stake in the commercial terms provided by AGIA - just like Alaska does.

Subject: East-West Corridors/ Next Chapter

Further regarding my last email to you on this subject, we have followed up with Senator Stevens' staff and
have learned the following -

• The Senator generally supports east-west corridors.

• He has directed his staff to search the archives to see what he has said previously.

• He is interested in the reason for our inquiry. In particular, he wonders whether Fairbanks to Nome or
other east-west corridors are receiving greater attention and gaining momentum.

I believe that this information largely confirms my last email to you, but it also tells me that the Senator has not
forgotten our inquiry, which he is taking serbusly. More to come.

Janice, Kris,

Attached are two documents for the Governor to use in her 2:30pm meeting today with the FERC representatives. One is a
Background Paper on the structure of FERC and the individual FERC Commissioners. The second document includes some
Talking Points for the Governor to read before her meeting and she can decide if she wishes to use any of them. Finally,
please let her know that she will be meeting with Chairman Joe KeDiher (who the Governor has met numerous times in DC),
Commissioner Phillip Moeller, & Mark Robinson (Director, Office of Energy Projects).

Additionally, just so the Governor knows, this FERC contingent has also met with Senate President Lyda Green & I believe
Lyda included Senator Huggins in that meeting,;Senator Therriautt; and via phone Representative Beth Kerttuia. I am told
they are also meeting with a TransCanada contingent that may include TCs CEO Hal Kvisle and their atty Kurt MEoffett; Bud
Fackrell, President of the Denali Pipeline; & they traveled to Pradhoe Bay with BP. My guess is they've also met with
ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil.

Finally, Drue Pearce wanted the Governor to know that she is very concerned that FERC does not appreciate what they will
need to do to provide adequate "government to government consultation" with Alaskans during the permitting of the Alaska
Gas Pipeline. Historically FERC does veiy diminimous outreach in their govt to govt consulations. Drue would appreciate
your emphasizing Drue's message that FERC will need to work with the other federal agencies as well as ANCSA
corporations and tribes as they design a consultation process that at least equals the one done as part of the TAPS 30 year
renewal process.

Please ensure the Governor has all this information before her 2:30pm meeting. If she'd like to talk about any of this, please
call me at #317-4728.
Thanks so much,
Marty

Dear Governor Palin,

The state supreme court just issued a decision declaring that the registration requirements of the Alaska Sex
Offender Registration Act cannot be applied to persons who committed their crimes before the law was passed in
1994. They determined that retroactive application of the law to sex offenders before 1994 would violate the ex
post facto provision of the constitution. The state (us) had attempted to enforce the law retroactively and we have
lost. I will forward you a copy of the decision shortly. Talis

Governor

While recent focus at DPS has been on personnel issues, there remain several items I would like to
remind the Acting Commissioner we need to continue working on.

FINISH CRIME LAB LEASE

Finally finishing up lease negotiations for the land that will be the site of the new crime lab. This has been
stuck for months with DPS and the mum.

NEW LEGISLATION ON ALCOHOL

Opening up a drafting fife at LAW for their attorneys to start drafting a bill cracking down on alcohol.
Initially, this bill would contain 2 ideas we did not get through last year and 3 new ones. The proposals
we did not get last year were:

(a) civil fines for alcohol license holders when their clerks sell to minors and

(b) no shipping alcohol to the bush in plastic bottles (bootleggers like to burp the air out of the plastic
bottles so the bottled do not slosh and plastic bottles do not clank like glass against anything) (This was a
recommendation of a joint federal-state task force on rural justice and was supported by prior troopers but
Wait had Major Glick testify against our proposal in committee for reasons that are still unclear to me).

The 3 new ideas would be:

These are all open to discussion. There are other projects as well. I just thought it would be good for me

Meg knows that when an email comes to the state's website it gets routed

a generic response letting them know it will be routed. I believe this
email was routed to boards and commissions.

Just a thought, rather than issue a statement that will generate another

Sharon- I don't think ADN was ever corrected re: what happened to

Privileged 's email she sent (offering to have me look at her files against
Kopp) back on July 13. We need to explain I never saw that email until I
traveled to Juneau amny days later, heard rumors there was one, so Kelly
and I did our own investigating of emails until we finally found it...
and by then we were advised not to contact her as wheels were in motion.
The ADN writes about this as if I purposefully ignored the accuser's
offer to provide me more information. Megan further reports in a series
of quesions on-line that I must be asked "why no response", all based on
|Privilege ^' s email, and it's reported she had a follow up phone call to
the gov's office and yet no response from me?

We need a statement on that - and again internally a strong reminder
that recipients of volitile emails like that must be forwarded to
appropriate personnel. (In fact, Mike, please do a memo on that to all
admin assistants. .. this was a harsh lesson to have learned re:
receptionists needing to use discernment on forwarding significant
emails that seem pretty obvious to me they should be forwarded. )

That one needs clarification be it could lead to potential legal
trouble if it's assumed I received the accuser's email yet did nothing

Letter to Editor

(I'm looking for someone to correct the letter writer's goofy comments, but don't want the
letter to ADN in response to come from me. Also, Frank - do. you have Bonnie Faulk's phone
#, she's pageant director)

Dear Editor:

To address Judi Spry's Anchorage Daily News letter-to-the-editor on July 26 asking where
the Governor was during this year's Miss Alaska Pageant:

First, when I asked Gov. Palin if she was ever Miss Alaska (as Ms. Spry stated), our
Governor replied, "Nope, a mere "Miss Congeniality", one of the runner-up sashes, and
much-needed college scholarships were my wins as a participant in that scholarship progam,
about 100 years ago it seems now".

The letter suggested the Governor didn't take time to attend the four-hour pageant due
to a lack of support. Although constantly apologizing for not being able to accept all
invitations, in this situation it was especially important for Alaska to have Governor
Palin keep her committment to travel to Fairbanks that evening between the weekend's
statewide Governor's Annual Community Picnics and meet with seven US Congressmen who were
touring ANWR.

Due to time constraints, to support pageant participants Gov. Palin did take time to
record a video which was shown during the pageant. And significantly, First Gentleman Todd
Palin spend two days judging the event. Todd left commercial fishing early this season to
keep his committment judge, and those who know the fishing industry (and those who know
Todd! ) can appreciate the sacrifice that was on the part of Todd Palin to support the
pageant, on behalf of the Governor and First Family.

Good idea. Randy- pis jot a quick note letting [Privilegel know the circumstances of that
email, and that by the time I saw it we were already checking- Then Holland can see the

She knows. Days after Privileged sent the email, Meg Holland asked me to

get her a copy. I left a message w/ Meg asking what her a name to track

it down. That is when

Privileged I called me. i talked with [Privileged 1 for a

few minutes and told I would pass along her information. So in fact, we

did respond to her. Meg knew privileged] called me - Meg gave her my #.

Meg knows that when an -email comes to the state's website it gets routed

and handled by a special assistant. She also knows that each email get
a generic response letting them know it will be routed. 1 believe this

email was routed to boards and commissions.

the video Andy and Jason took great effort to make, where I'm saying "rah rah" in support
of the participants... and my husband took TWO DAYS of his slammed schedule to judge the
pageant even! ! ! He left commercial fishing early to keep his. committment to judge the
thingt!! (Ya know how much that COST him?) And the event itself lasted four hours - so
no, I didn't make it in person, I was ending one Gov's picnic that day, traveled to
fairbanks to meet with seven members of the US Congress on ANWR, but. . . Sheeeesh- can
folks find a few more reasons to criticize a "lack of support" on something. Argggggh!

You know, I think I'll do my own letter of correction on this one.

We reached a deal with IBU. Unlikely as it sounds* We compared what it would have cost
us with a 3,3,3 over the last two years and offered:

$2137 signing bonus for each employee for the first year (0% in lieu of $2137 cash)
followed by 5% effective July 1, 2009
followed by 4% effective July 1, 2010.

We considered with this union the savings of them NOT having a contract for going on two
years and our conversations with Washington state which ended up going to arbitration with
its maritime unions, where they were treated pretty well.

The amount of money involved was minor to get to this agreement, considering our options.
More specifics later.

I

Sharon- I don't think ADN was ever corrected re: what happened to [Privileged]' s email she
sent (offering to have me look at her files against Kopp) back on July 13. We need to
explain I never saw that email until I traveled to Juneau amny days later, heard rumors
there was one, so Kelly and I did our own investigating of emails until we finally found
it... and by then we were advised not to contact her as wheels were in motion. The ADN
writes about this as if I purposefully ignored the accuser's offer to provide me more
information. Megan further repo rts in a s eries of guesions on-line that I must be asked

"why no response", all based on Privileged [ s email, and it's reported she had a follow up

phone call to the gov's office and yet no response from me?

We need a statement on that - and again internally a strong reminder that recipients
of volitile emails like that must be forwarded to appropriate personnel- {In fact, Mike,
please do a memo oh that to all admin assistants. . . this was a harsh lesson to have
learned re; receptionists needing to use discernment on forwarding significant emails that
seem pretty obvious to me they should be forwarded.)

That one needs clarification be it could lead to potential legal trouble if it's
assumed I received the accuser's email yet did nothing in response. (This email evidently
was forwarded to three different depts, I believe)

We can organize it from the Juneau end if need be- we should do this sooner rather than later and it can be delegated

Another thought if Anchorage locale seems unlikely is for me to get cabinet down to Juneau while I'm there this

Just checking to see if anyone went anywhere with it the past two weeks be it can easily be handled from the

questions on the next trooper academy- when, how many guys are going through, what can I
do to help get word out around AK that we want more cream-of -the- crop applicants, etc. Pis
let him know I'd love a status report on that (plus status on other areas too).

Once I hear from him through you I'll start emailing him.

Better yet, I'd like him to travel to Juneau early this week to meet with us in person
and give us the current lay of the land,., please invite him to do so. If he's unavailable
early in the week then Audie should come.

We reached a deal with IBU, Unlikely as it sounds. We compared what it would have cost
us with a 3,3,3 over the last two years and offered:

$2137 signing bonus for each employee for the first year (0% in lieu of $2137 cash)
followed by 5% effective July 1, 2009
followed by 4% effective July 1, 2010.

We considered with this union the savings of them NOT having a contract for going on two
years and our conversations with Washington state which ended up going to arbitration with
its maritime unions, where they were treated pretty well.

The amount of money involved was minor to get to this agreement, considering our options.
More specifics later.

(I'm looking for someone to correct the letter writer's goofy comments, but don't want the
letter to ADN in response to come from me. Also, Frank - do you have Bonnie Faulk's phone
#, she's pageant director)

Dear Editor:

To address Judi Spry 's Anchorage Daily News letter-to-the-editor on July 26 asking where
the Governor was during this year's Miss Alaska Pageant:

First, when I asked Gov. Palin if she was ever Miss Alaska (as Ms. Spry stated), our
Governor replied, "Nope, a mere "Miss Congeniality", one of the runner-up sashes, and
much-needed college scholarships were my wins as a participant in that scholarship progam,
about 100 years ago it seems now".

The letter suggested the Governor didn't take time to attend the four-hour pageant due
to a lack of support. Although constantly apologizing for not being able to accept all
invitations, in this situation it was especially important for Alaska to have Governor
Palin keep her committment to travel to Fairbanks that evening between the weekend's
statewide Governor's Annual Community Picnics and meet with seven OS Congressmen who were
touring ANWR.

Due to time constraints, to support pageant participants Gov. Palin did take time to
record a video which was shown during the pageant. And significantly, First Gentleman Todd
Palin spend two days judging the event. Todd left commercial fishing early this season to
keep his committment judge, and those who know the fishing industry (and those who know
Todd I ) can appreciate the sacrifice that was on the part of Todd Palin to support the
pageant, on behalf of the Governor and First Family.

Dear Editor:

To address Judi Spry's Anchorage Daily News letter-to-the-editor on July 26 asking where
the Governor was during this year's Miss Alaska Pageant:

First, when I asked Gov. Palin if she was ever Miss Alaska (as Ms. Spry stated), our
Governor replied, "Nope, a mere "Miss Congeniality", one of the runner-up sashes, and
much-needed college scholarships were my wins as a participant in that scholarship progam,
about 100 years ago it seems now".

The letter suggested the Governor didn't take time to attend the four-hour pageant due

PRA GSP01 0021926

to a lack of support. Although constantly apologizing for not being able to accept all
invitations, in this situation it was especially important for Alaska to have Governor
Palin keep her committment to travel to Fairbanks that evening between the weekend's
statewide Governor's Annual Community Picnics and meet with seven US Congressmen who were
touring ANWR.

Due to time constraints, to support pageant participants Gov, Palin did take time to
record a video which was shown during the pageant. And significantly. First Gentleman Todd
Palin spend two days judging the event. Todd left commercial fishing early this season to
keep his committment judge, and those who know the fishing industry (and those who know
Todd I) can appreciate the sacrifice that was on the part of Todd Palin to support the
pageant, on behalf of the Governor and First Family.

We reached a deal with IBU. Unlikely as it sounds. We compared what it would have cost
us with a 3,3,3 over the last two years and offered:

$2137 signing bonus for each employee for the first year (0% in lieu of $2137 cash)
followed by 5% effective July 1, 2009
followed by 4% effective July 1, 2010.

We considered with this union the savings of them NOT having a contract for going on two
years and our conversations with Washington state which ended up going to arbitration with
its maritime unions, where they were treated pretty well.

The amount of money involved was minor to get to this agreement, considering our options.
More specifics later.

Governor.

It went well. I think in terms of timing, ease of administration, and getting something to alt Alaskans the
resource rebate stands out as the best vehicle. The debate started with legislators questioning which
proposal before them is the single best thing to do but 1 think are now realizing that its not an "either - or"
situation. Now my sense is that legislators are figuring out that ifs not a competition among the different
ideas and bills and they can only pick one, but that they may have to pass several bills to come up with a
good solution.

Committee members had some good questions and some concerns about language in the bill that I will
work with LAW, Kelly, and Rep. Meyer's office to get straightened out.

Also, it is great working with Kelly. She has brought a lot of knowledge and skill to the position.

was ending one Gov's picnic that day, traveled to fairbanks to meet with seven members of the US Congress on ANWR,
but... Sheeeesh- can folks find a few more reasons to criticize a "lack of support" on something. Argggggh!

On page 1 1 of that transcript, when Wooten is being questioned about the moose hunting incident, Wooten

The union representative interjects at that point and they don't come back to it

It's my understanding that Gov. Palin received several Nelchina Tier II permits. Did Chuck Heath ever take
caribou using one or more of her permits, as Trooper Wooten seems to be saying here to the investigator? To the

Yep, that transcript sounds like something Wooten would say.

He claims Chuck Heath was going to take Molly's tag and shoot a moose

with it? Not true. I recall that Chuck Heath was offering to take Molly
hunting since the season was coming to a close and Wooten had still not
taken the time to take her hunting so she could fill the tag. Chuck
Heath wasn't going to "shoot a moose, period", as Wooten claims. And
after the hunt Wooten told Chuck Heath that Molly DID shoot that moose,
which wasn't true. As WPD officer Chris Watchus testified (he was the
hunting partner in the boat as Wooten illegally shot the animal from a
motorized vehicle, which is also illegal), Wooten did not give Molly a
chance to shoot it before he fired. Afterwards, Wooten threatened Molly
that she'd better not tell anyone, but people eventually found out about
it after Wooten bragged about the hunt.

Yes, I've received Tier 2 permits and I have filled my tags, with
friends and family witnessing the hunts. It appears from the transcript
that Wooten states to his fellow union member/internal investigator re:
Chuck Heath ".. . He does it every year (with) Sarah's caribou tag." Not
true. And Wooten has NEVER hunted with me, and except for his illegal
moose hunt in question he has never hunted moose or caribou with family,
so his accusation that Chuck Heath takes caribou on my, or others,
permits every year is not based on fact.

Subject! Wooten - question

Sharon: The past several days we have been going through all the materials in the Wooten investigative files. We came across something in the 9714/05
interview of Wooten by Trooper Wall that we want to ask thegovernor about

On page 1 1 of that transcript when Wooten is being questioned about the moose hunting incident Wooten asserts that Chuck Heath had said he would use
Molly's moose tag to take a moose if she didn't do it herself. ■

Wall presses Wooten on that point

Wooten: . Jie was going to take her tag and go fill her tag. With our without ah regardless of whether she went or not he was gonna go shoot a
moose. Period.

Wall: Did he tell that to MOLLY or you?

Wooten: Me. And MOLLY was there too she heard it He does it every year. He does it with SALLY'S caribou tag. SARAH's caribou tag an...

The union representative interjects at that point and they dont come back to it

ft* s my understanding that Gov. Palin received several Nelchtna Tier II permits. Did Chuck Heath ever take caribou using one or more of her permits, as
Trooper Wooten seems to be saying here to Ihe investigator? To the governor's knowledge, did Mr. Heath use Sally's permits as described by Wooten? To
her knowledge, did he take moose or caribou on Molly's permits, as Wooten is saying? Am I misreading what Wooten is saying here?

I'm attaching the page of the transcript in question.

Thanks.

can be in Juneau. It's a historic week if the AGIA vote is taken, so maybe more will be there in Juneau for that (and

On your last communication you did alert me to the fact that Governor Palm's schedule is indeed very busy (a fact
which I do understand completely) and that it was not possible to give me a definite acceptance of my invitation

back on June 3 rd when I sent the invitation originally.

However, I must now respectfully ask whether you can confirm Governor Palin for this Keynote opportunity in view
of the fact that several very senior Government and Industry individuals have firmly allocated this event in their
schedules, due to the high-level nature of the gathering.

i feel that this would provide an excellent platform for Governor Palin toward some of the most respected and
influential individuals and organizations in North American E&P and, alas, production timing and planning
constraints are now upon me in order to finalize the meeting.

I very much appreciate your feedback and attention to this and I hope that the growing importance of the
conference is recognized by the Governor and the administrative office of the Alaskan Government considering
your role in the North American energy community and the important project proposals which are now coming to
the fore in the Alaska region.

Many thanks for your ongoing help and interest in the conference.

Kind regards,

9/18/2009

Dear Governor Palin,

I hope this email finds you very well and belated congratulations to you and your husband on the birth of your fifth
child back In April.

I am the Conference Producer for E&P Technology Summit in Houston this October; I have some good news for
you regarding the Conference Program and I needed to furnish you with this invitation.

I wanted to get \n touch with you as the Government of Alaska has been highly recommended by your peers
within the North American Exploration & Production industry in view of the innovative projects you are involved in
with relation to your E&P collaboration work in the North American energy community. During my research for our
upcoming North American E&P Technology Summit, your work was referenced a number of times and as a
leading industry figure I would like to invite you to appear as a Keynote Speaker at this year's Summit. I have
followed with interest your Government's achievements in this field during my time at Petroleum Economist
journal in London and I, personally, would be delighted to have you involved.

The E&P Technology Summit brings together North America's leading Upstream executives to network,
establish key relationships and learn about some of the most critical and innovative technologies and practices to
the marketplace today. After three highly successful years of producing the Summit in Europe we are now
crossing the Atlantic to provide a knowledge platform for the emerging and major operators in the Western
Hemisphere. Details of October's Houston Summit can be found here:

www.exproevent.com

1 am pleased to report that the Summit has already made an impact in the Upstream community and fellow
Confirmed Speakers who have recently confirmed their attendance and presentations for October include:

• Randall Luthi, Director, U.S. Department of the Interior's Minerals Management Service

This would represent an excellent opportunity to address the influential North American oil & gas community

directly and present your E&P project experiences and successes. I'd be particularly interested in content focused \

towards your experiences with:

• Enhanced Oil Recovery

• Rising Project Costs

• Access to Resources & Legislative Challenges

• Wbrkforce Challenges

\

\

j

Here are some Ideas on key focus areas of the Conference Program; of course I wouid be very happy to hear
your ideas and tailor this towards recent developments you may have encountered during your work. I'd be
particularly interested In a "big picture" view of the work that the Government of Alaska achieves and
your perspective on Alaskan E&P for the future:

The Last Frontier - Evaluating the viability of Alaska's mature fields and the fundamental
challenge of bringing hydrocarbons to the North American market

• Outlining access to Alaskan resources and an overview of 40 years of Alaskan E&P; the
established operators, the lessons learned and the new wave of emerging players in the coldest
state

• Analyzing the latest pipeline projects and the challenges to be overcome in innovative engineering
and hydrocarbon transportation over major distances

• Evaluating the technologies and strategies in play to meet the challenges of bringing hydrocarbons
to market from a remote area

• Achieving balance in project costs and profitable hydrocarbon recovery from mature fields in
Prudhoe Bay, the North Slope & Cook Inlet and managing increased E&P in hostile environments

Or:

Analyzing successful E&P strategies incorporating environmental responsibility and Government
collaboration in Alaska; what we can learn as an industry and assessing the applications to your
own operations

• A Poster-Child for Proactive E&P? - perspectives on working toward common energy goals
whilst collaborating in economic growth and minimal environmental impact

Naturally, I would be happy to work with you on the outline of your Presentation and tailor it to your own style and
expertise. Please find the full Conference Program outlined on our website.

As my personal guest you would of course receive free access to the entire three-day event, including all
networking opportunities, access to the conference program and meals at the Hilton Americas.

I will make a note to call you soon if I haven't heard from you to discuss this opportunity further and, of course, I'd
be most interested to hear your expertise on the issues proposed. If you, yourself, are not able to take this
opportunity, then perhaps you might be able to recommend one of your senior management for the role.

Many thanks and I look forward to speaking with you soon,

Attached is a brief update on KABATA (also copied below).

KABATA UPDATE

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) FOR CONSTRUCTION

♦ DOT&PF's review of KABATA's RFP to solicit for the design, construction, finance and maintenance of
the roads and bridges that comprise Knik Arm Crossing project found the following unacceptable
provisions:

o State of Alaska would bear the risk if government permits were not secured within 17 month
o State of Alaska would guarantee payment to concessionaire when specified toll numbers are

not reached
o There is no provision to build the $250 million Ingra-Gamble Connector
o Contains incomplete communications plan for informing public, legislature, and

administration about the terms of the RFP

• KABATA was instructed to not issue the RFP and to increase their communications efforts

PROJECT COST ESTIMATE UPDATE

• KABATA's estimate of the cost of the project has not changed in 5 years

• DOT&PF and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are contracting for an independent 3 rt * party
estimate due in October

• Updated and validated cost estimates will increase public confidence in the project

AMATS INVOLVEMENT

• FHWA requires cities with a popufatron of 50,000 to form a Metropolitan Pfenning Organization
(MPO) to plan and prioritize all transportation in the community via a long range transportation plan

• The Anchorage MPO (AMATS) \s comprised of the mayor, two Assembly members, and
representatives from DOT&PF and DEC

• The recent changes in the composition of the Anchorage Assembly may result in the withdrawal of
support for the project and its removal from their long range transportation plan

o FHWA would immediately stop their work on the Record of Decision

o Anticipate vote on the project in 4-6months.

KABATA'S ONGOING AOIVITIES

• Work stopped on the RFP for a concessionaire

• Beginning discussions with the Corps of Engineers on the necessary permits.

o Met at least once with the Muni of Anchorage, regarding the need for the Ingra-Gambell connector,
and how to fund it - a solution is necessary to gain MOA support

• KABATA Board of Directors

o approved a FY2009 Operating Budget of $1.5 million

o DID NOT approve a $3.4 million Capital Budget that included funds for utilities work, right of way

acquisition, and the release of the RFP for construction of the project,
o KABATA understands and agrees that they will not enter into those activities without the

concurrence of DOT&PF, FHWA, and the Administration.

RECOMMENDATION

• Using the updated cost estimate work with Dept of Law, DOT&PF and KABATA to develop options on
how best to proceed.

♦ Present options and recommendation to the Governor

to let the public know the status of our question/seeking answers process. It's been left up m the

today but at some point in near future. Thanks

Could we meet later in the afternoon? I have a committee hearing in House Finance this morning on the
motor fuels tax. Thanks.

On the project, once the independent review the FHWA and State need to move the project forward is
done (this fail) and we get solid numbers not just in costs but in potential revenue from tolls, we
should evaluate the project

The 2 developers involved right now are not offering very good terms. One lost a lot of money on a
project in Miami and I think is trying to cover all the risks it ran into in Miami in ifs proposed draft RFP
terms for the Knik Arm project.

Privileged or Personal Material Redacted

Privileged or Pers) Let me know your thoughts, otherwise let's form "this asap "^ and Mike/Randy
I'd like to work w you guys on this as Sharon announces the intention.

Also, feedback over the weekend was that this issue of me supposedly "firing Walt for
personal /personnel reasons" has taken on a life of its own. Frustration over not just
being able to ■ sit down with reporters and repeat the truth, and/or get the message
directly to Alaskans about the whole issue was shared with me by many. Amazing how the
misperceptions have really grown legs and now people (incl legislators) are running with
them.

We need to do ail we can to get the truth out, I would hope the press would be fair in
giving me opportunity to speak to the issue. This controversy - and Senate's rumored
investigation - is suspiciously overshadowing AGIA and Energy work- please help get that
back on track but also help me get truth out surrounding the desire to move Walt to a
different position so DPS could see action leading to results, versus merely talking about
crafting more plans to deal with public safety challenges.

Between the FOIA's last week (and the public still doesn't understand it's been a
ConocoPhillips employee FOIA-ing emails) and Walt's stirred-up controversy, the whole AGIA
issue was overshadowed and attention shifted from that to other things. Please assist me
in helping Alaskans realize the importance of the pending legislation on the lawmakers'
plates today* Thanks

Unless we hear otherwise, we will submit this tomorrow by noon.

Thanks,

We are delighted that Gov. Palin will do a Pro/Con oped for us on the topic: Should we drill in ANWR? Somebody
from the Sierra Club (not sure who yet) will argue no, and the governor will take the yes position. The opeds will
run in the San Francisco and Baltimore Examiners and appear on our website as well.

We'll need 600 words by July 29 for publication on July 31 y and a recent photo of the governor. Please email me

The Senate schedule is very uncertain and will not firm up until after the Senate has their caucus meeting on Monday

morning (@ 1 1 :00am, I'm told). Therefore I think whatever date works for you for your Cabinet meeting will be fine. I do

want to reiterate the message Tom sent to you last night, that we do need you here in Juneau early next week to start working

Legislators before the. AGIA vote. Let me know if there is anything you would like me to do for you.

Thanks for checking on the schedule.

Mike - let's plan cabinet mtg in the form of a luncheon at the house this week, if we can assume enough members can be in
Juneau. It's a historic week if the AGIA vote is taken, so maybe more will be there in Juneau for that (and in support of AGIA
team). We can do a bit of an informal lunch w/roundtable setting and well literally go around the tables getting updates from
everyone of their dept activities.

The death is under Air Force investigation. No foul play indicated. Air
Force officials will not discuss the circumstances of Tinsley's death until
the investigation is completed. Nothing we can do at this time, although I
would recommend that a sympathy note to Mrs. Tinsley would be appropriate in
a few days and I will let you know when any services are scheduled. You may
want to consider sending out a very short press release expressing your
condolences at the loss of a great Air Force leader. Let me know if you

Hi de ho hey!

I am not the type that comments—however, I am pleased what a strong person you are, how you feel
about Alaska, the potential, the direction you are taking, what you see for the future and trying to direct it
in the right way. There will always be naysayers and jealous peple because of the person you are. All I
can say is "THANK YOU" for being the incredible person you are, dont change and keep fighting for what
you believe in and especially for the care you have shown to the people in Alaska. You ARE a breath of
fresh air.^dont give up, never surrender (got that from the movie Galaxy Quest) Tee Heel Thank you for
taking this moment to read this.

Surely Shirley Spuriock.. A person that has been here since 1970, and it was because I joined the Air
Force, stationed at Elmendorf on Jan 26, 1970 and remained and it is people like you that have caused
my continuous participation in this state...THANK YOU!

Dear Ms. Rosso:

Thank you for your email. I certainly understand your concern for the Impact of high energy costs on
school budgets. The legislature did include some additional funds for school districts in the recently
passed budget to help with these costs. Governor Paiin's resource rebate legislation and several other
ideas are being debated by legislators in special session. You may wish to provide testimony to the
House or Senate Finance Committees or to your district legislator regarding energy costs for school
districts.

This issue is of vital importance to all Alaskans. We are hopeful that there will be some relief provided
during this special session as we work on long-term solutions to bring down the cost of energy in our
state. Thank you again for writing.

Karen Rehfeld

Subject: energy rebate suggestion

I ask that you consider the energy rebates for all children age 16 and under be given to local
school districts. School districts must receive energy assistance. School district budgets have
been hit hard by gas and diesel increases.

Consider that rural school districts are paying $5+ a gallon for fuel to run the generators that

power the lights and heat for the village or town school. Schools also serve as community centers.
Generators must run twelve hours a day minimum usually.

Consider feat the larger school districts like Anchorage, Fairbanks, Mat-Su and Juneau transport
students over many road miles. Utility costs have also increased. The energy cost is now way over
what districts originally budgeted.

A family with four children needs assistance for their schools. Do they need four rebates all to the same
household, or could the rebates be more effective at the school level? Setting the age at 16, allows for
rebates to go to 17 or 1 8 year olds who may be driving, or who may even be working.

If school districts do not receive extra help, the added costs will reduce school budgets for educating our
youth - and this is not acceptable.

Thank you for your leadership on this,
Theresa Rosso

I don't know how the cruise speech works so if it's more convenient for the cruise as they dock or

familie/spouses events. Just let me know what's convenient for the cntise. And pis have Joe or

there were numerous opportunities to have them participate this week in any First Family events.

Juneau. It's a historic week if the AGIA vote is taken, so maybe more will be there in Juneau for that (and in support of AGIA

Governor,

The Senate schedule is very uncertain and will not firm up until after the Senate has their caucus meeting on Monday

morning (@ 1 1 :00am, Vm told). Therefore I think whatever date works for you for your Cabinet meeting will be fine^ I do

want to reiterate the message Tom sent to you last night, mat we do need you here in Juneau early next week to start working

Legislators before the. AG1A vote. Let me know if there is anything you would like me to do for you.

Thanks for checking on the schedule.

Marty

Mike - lef s plan cabinet mtg in the form of a luncheon at the house this week, if we can assume enough members can be in
Juneau. It's a historic week if the AGIA vote is taken, so maybe more will be mere in Juneau for that (and in support of AGIA
team). We can do a bit of an informal lunch w/roundtable setting and we'll literally go around the tables getting updates from
everyone of their dept activities.

#, she's pageant director)

Dear Editor:

To address Judi Spry's Anchorage Daily News letter-to-the-editor on July 26 asking where
the Governor was during this year's Miss Alaska Pageant:

First, when I asked Gov, Palin if she was ever Miss Alaska (as Ms. Spry stated), our
Governor replied, "Nope, a mere "Miss Congeniality", one of the runner-up sashes, and
much-needed college scholarships were my wins as a participant in that scholarship progam,
about 100 years ago it seems now" .

The letter suggested the Governor didn't take time to attend the four-hour pageant due
to a lack of support. Although constantly apologizing for not being able to accept all
invitations, in this situation it was especially important for Alaska to have Governor
Palin keep her committment to travel to Fairbanks that evening between the weekend's
statewide Governor's Annual Community Picnics and meet with seven US Congressmen who were
touring ANWR.

Due to time constraints, to support pageant participants Gov. Palin did take time to
record a video which was shown during the pageant. And significantly, First Gentleman Todd
Palin spend two days judging the event. Todd left commercial fishing early this season to
keep his committment judge, and those who know the fishing industry (and those who know
Toddl) can appreciate the sacrifice that was on the part of Todd Palin to support the
pageant, on behalf of the Governor and First Family.

I

Governor, below is addition up to date info on KABATA based on this morning's emails from you and Randy. LEO

This is a brief chronology of recent questions posed to KABATA, and their responses:

1.0n April 22, 2008, Deputy Commissioner Frank Richards wrote KABATA a letter requiring their response to a
number of questions including an accounting of the $40 million spent to date, information about the draft RFP,
risks associated with the project, project projected revenue, an updated cost estimate, and a question about
the construction of the Ingra-Gambell connector.

2. On May 28, 2008 KABATA responded to the letter from Frank Richards. The response was less than
satisfactory, and there was some serious concerns expressed about their updated cost estimate.

3. DOT/PF, in conjunction with Federal Highway Administration , determined it was it was necessary to secure an

estimate update of project costs. The Request for Proposal was advertised July 9 th , with a due date of 7/30.
The work effort will be funded jointly by the FHWA, and DOT.

4. The AMATS Policy Committee continues to have a keen interest in this project. At the July 10 th meeting, the
Policy Committee gave KABATA a series of questions to answer. Although a lot of the questions overlapped
with questions asked by Frank Richards, or were already asked and answered in the Environmental Impact
Statement, many of the questions asked by members of the Policy Committee are centered around issues
specific to the MunicipaLtTY OF Anchorage.

Dear Ms. Rosso:

Thank you for your email. I certainly understand your concern for the impact of high energy costs on school
budgets. The legislature did include some additional funds for school districts in the recently passed budget to
help with these costs. Governor PaHn's resource rebate legislation and several other ideas are being debated by
legislators m special session. You may wish to provide testimony to the House or Senate Finance Committees or
to your district legislator regarding energy costs for school districts.

This issue is of vital importance to all Alaskans. We are hopeful that there win be some relief provided during this
special session as we work on fong-term solutions to bring down the cost of energy in our state. Thank you again
for writing.

t: energy rebate suggestion

I ask that you consider the energy rebates for all children age 16 and under be given to local school
districts. School districts must receive energy assistance. School district budgets have been hit hard by
gas and diesel increases.

Consider that rural school districts are paying $5+ a gallon for fuel to run the generators that power the
lights and heat for the village or town school. Schools also serve as community centers. Generators
must run twelve hours a day minimum usually.

Consider that the larger school districts like Anchorage, Fairbanks, Mat-Su and Juneau transport
students over many road miles. Utility costs have also increased. The energy cost is now way over
what districts originally budgeted.

A family with four children needs assistance for their schools. Do they need four rebates all to the same
household, or could the rebates be more effective at the school level? Setting the age at 16, allows for
rebates to go to 1 7 or 1 8 year olds who may be driving, or who may even be working.

If school districts do not receive extra help, the added costs will reduce school budgets for educating our

I'd like to work w you guys on this as Sharon announces the intention.

Also, feedback over the weekend was that this issue of me supposedly "firing Walt for
personal/personnel reasons" has taken on a life of its own. Frustration over not just
being able to sit down with reporters and repeat the truth, and/or get the message
directly to Alaskans about the whole issue was shared with me by many. Amazing how the
misperceptions have really grown legs and now people (incl legislators) are running with
them.

We need to do all we can to get the truth out, I would hope the press would be fair in
giving me opportunity to speak to the issue. This controversy - and Senate's rumored
investigation - is suspiciously overshadowing AGIA and Energy work- please help get that
back on track but also help me get truth out surrounding the desire to move Walt to a
different position so DPS could see action leading to results, versus merely talking about
crafting more plans to deal with public safety challenges.

Between the FOIA's last week (and the public still doesn't understand it's been a
ConocoPhillips employee FOIA-ing emails) and Walt's stirred-up controversy, the whole AGIA
issue was overshadowed and attention shifted from that to other things . Please assist me
in helping Alaskans realize the importance of the pending legislation on the lawmakers'
plates today- Thanks

Governor,

It looks like they'll read the bill across {from Senate Energy to Floor) and 2nd reading
on Thursday, Third reading and Vote on Friday, with Reconsideration on Saturday. We are
asking for a clean bill (no amendments, including not asking for an immediate effective
date) out of the Senate so that nothing needs to occur back in the House- This is for
many reasons, not the least of which is that Saturday is the 60th day. We'd be happy to
talk to you more about this either before or after the 9:00am meeting with the Minority.

Alex called?? Sorry!!

Governor,

Alex thought I was working late at the House and I think he called and got you. . ♦
Thinking it was HIS mom- he gave the phone to Brent- who thought my friend & I were joking
with him- Brent was thoroughly confused. . . so he hung up. So if that's the strange call
you got just a bit ago... sorry about that- it was my goofy family.

I can r t wait to see your kids & mom tomorrow!
: )

S- does ktuu know that the wooten divorce was quite, awhile ago... despite their insistence
everytime they report on this that "she fired monegan while the trooper was going through
a divorce with her sister"? Sheeesh, they haven't gotten it right yet. And even their
forgetfulness that we offered WM another job to better utilize his strengths. . . it's just
so frustrating that they're playing right into lyda and hollis 1 hands., and vice versa.

I prefer speaking to these reporters who want comments on the issue. I invite the
investigation but it's obvious we could get to the bottom of it all if leggies and
reporters would just ASK me further questions instead of spending $100g on a fishing
expedition.

Hi R- the events this Saturday at the Gov's House, as hosted by the First Family, are historic. We do not believe
they've ever been done before as Todd gathers former First Ladies for their tea... plus we invited former First Ladies
and their (grown) children to revisit the mansion for the Statehood Celebration.

Alaskans would like to know of this, I'm sure, so profiling it and/or allowing a photo op of these wonderful elderly
Alaskan women as they gather here on Saturday would be great for historical reasons and for today's public to
witness.

Statehood celebration folks can shed more light on this and help you write a presser on it, as can historians in
Juneau who can appreciate this unprecedented event .. and please remind Alaskans that it is a pleasure and honor for
the current First Family to host this. Well all be here except our son who is away training in theMojave Desert with
his Styker Brigade before their Sept deployment to Iraq.

An ironic mention needs to include the fact that Todd will have just returned from his blue collar Slope job to host
the First Ladies Tea. (Humor helps in these type of announcements). Thanks!

(Kris, if u think of others who can help contribute to this presser pis let Rosanne know so it can be cranked out

Hi R- the events this Saturday at the Gov's House, as hosted by the First Family, are historic. We do not believe they've ever
been done before as Todd gathers former First Ladies for their tea... plus we invited former First Ladies and their (grown)
children to revisit the mansion for the Statehood Celebration.

Alaskans would like to know of this, I'm sure, so profiling it and/or allowing a photo op of these wonderful elderly Alaskan
women as they gather here on Saturday would be great for historical reasons and for today's public to witness.

Statehood celebration folks can shed more light on this and help you write a presser on it, as can historians in Juneau who
can appreciate this unprecedented event... and please remind Alaskans that it is a pleasure and honor for the current First
Family to host this. Well all be here except our son who is away training in the Mojave Desert with his Styker Brigade before
their Sept deployment to Iraq.

An ironic mention needs to include the tact that Todd will have just returned from his blue collar Slope job to host the First
Ladies Tea. (Humor helps in these type of announcements). Thanks!

(Kris, if u think of others who can help contribute to this presser pis let Rosanne know so it can be cranked out today, then
press can follow up.)

MESSAGE :

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the work you've done for the average
alaskan family. In my lifespan I have seen many politicians and most I can't say much for
I finally have seen what a good person can do in a point of power and its refreshing to
me. You have done more for the people in your short tenure than most will do in lifetime*
You should feel commendable for that. I only fear that we will lose you to a higher level
of government before your potential is met in alaska. I'm sure you meet great opposition
from many of your peirs for your actions. Unfortunately many live in a tunnel vision.
Seeing the future through the present is the Key! I have to say that until you reached
office I had never voted because my ideals would never let me vote for the lesser of two
evils. Since you've reached the seat in the capital I*ve become much more active in our
greatest right. You have given the people of alaska a voice and shown big business that
you will not bully the weak

SO,

in a nutshell I say Thank You! As honestly as anyone can.

Subject: Saturday

Hi R- the events this Saturday at the Gov's House, as hosted by the First Family, are historic. We do not believe theyVe ever
been done before as Todd gathers former First Ladies for their tea... plus we invited former First Ladies and their (grown)
children to revisit the mansion for the Statehood Celebration.

Alaskans would like to know of this, I'm sure, so profiling it and/or allowing a photo op of these wonderful elderly Alaskan
women as they gather here on Saturday would be great for historical reasons and for today's public to witness.

Statehood celebration folks can shed more light on this and help you write a presser on it, as can historians in Juneau who
can appreciate this unprecedented event... and please remind Alaskans mat it is a pleasure and honor for the current First
Family to host this. Well all be here except our son who is away training in the Mojave Desert with his Styker Brigade before
their Sept deployment to Iraq.

An ironic mention needs to include the feet that Todd will have just returned from his blue collar Slope job to host the First
Ladies Tea. (Humor helps in these type of announcements). Thanks!

(Kris, if u think of others who can help contribute to this presser pis let Rosanne know so it can be cranked out today, then
press can follow up.)

R- If there are points you can be thinking about while traveling today pis plan on incorporating them
into the presser, 111 ask Kris to find a Statehood person (or other capable writers such as Patricia or
someone) and this can all be put together if, not today then tomorrow. Sharon is slammed so I won't be
asking her to do this one... pis let me know if you have other ideas on who can help craft this, including
getting a quote or two from participants like the former House Manager and/or other First Ladies like
Bella Hammond (whomever is easy to reach). Kate can assist on this- she's a great writer and
researcher... I'll cc her in. She can contact the current House Manager, Erika, and go from there.

Hi R- the events this Saturday at the Gov's House, as hosted by the First Family, are historic. We do not believe they Ve ever
been done before as Todd gathers former First Ladies for their tea... plus we invited former First Ladies and their (grown)
children to revisit the mansion for the Statehood Celebration.

Alaskans would like to know of mis, Pm sure, so profiling it and/or allowing a photo op of these wonderful elderly Alaskan
women as they gather here on Saturday would be great for historical reasons and for today's public to witness.

Statehood celebration folks can shed more light on this and help you write a presser on it, as can historians in Juneau who
can appreciate this unprecedented event... and please remind Alaskans that it is a pleasure and honor for the current First
Family to host this. We'll aD be here except our son who is away training in the Mojave Desert with his Styker Brigade before
their Sept deployment to Iraq.

An ironic mention needs to include the fact that Todd will have just returned from his blue collar Slope job to host the First
Ladies Tea, (Humor helps in these type of announcements). Thanks!

(Kris, if u think of others who can help contribute to this presser pis let Rosanne know so it can be cranked out today, then
press can follow up.)

I am just writing you again to encourage you. I know how doing something for people
whether you are getting paid for it or not can be a very unthankful job. Even how you can
be taken for granted from so many. I am praying for you and I am very suprise that you
haven't been under attack by the enemy mush more than what you have. You are not just a
women but you are a child of the king and that makes you very dangerous to the enemy, if
alaska was not so important to God it probably would not matter, but this state is so
important in the fathers intime plan, and because the enemy knows it he is going to do
all he can to destroy and discredit you. you must finish your mandate from holyspirit to
get this state ready for the last days. You see sarah the father showed me 25 years ago
that there was coming an economic collapse to america and his plan was for it to not
affect alaska. There is a Joseph mantle on the entire state and in the coming days when
things get very bad and it wi

II alaska will save many people alive. That was Joseph's calling and this is alaska' s
calling. , So I am praying for you and that your faith fail not. please follow your heart
and trust that he is there because he is more than you realize. We love you and your
family and don't be concern about your son God is going to touch his life

Honorable Governor Sarah Palin,

I am writing tonight to say that this scandal for the last two weeks has really angered
me. Not so much your department as the feeding frenzy of the news media. It has become
national and I am so sorry for Alaska. Why does the legislature think they need an
investigation when they KNOW that Department heads serve at the pleasure of the governor?
What more is there to say? NOTHING REALLY.

I am hoping your husband will stay out of the roll of anything to do with your office. I
realize he can advise you but he was not elected to anything so I assume he does not need
to talk to any of your employees, and I'm not sure he even did, this could all been
avoided if his name had not surfaced.

Subject: NGA/Resource Committee Priorities

Russ and I spoke today with representatives of Governor Schweizer, vice chair of the Natural Resources
Committee/ and NGA staff concerning themes and priorities for the committee.

Subject to each of us obtaining guidance from our respective governors, we tentatively identified energy
infrastructure as our major theme. In turn, this issue would be divided into the following components:

• Natural gas and oil pipelines

• Transmission tines

• National electricity grid, including smart meters and storage

• Funding of inf restructure, including public-private partnerships

This theme extrapolates from the NGA chair's emphasis on infrastructure generally* In addition, Russ and I
figured that ft would be a good way to marshal additional bipartisan support for an Alaska gas pipeline to the
lower 48.

Before proceeding further, it would be helpful for us to know whether the foregoing makes sense to you.
Thanks.

Since when is Todd Palin on the State payroll or administrative staff? What is his title
and function within the state government. He keeps getting "confidential emails" along
with your other staff members. He uses your office to meet with other staff members.
What the hell is going on with your supposedly "transparent government". It's lost all
transparency and now appears to have plunged into the realm of questionable ethics.

AGtA Update

Alaska stands poised and ready to provide critical relief to fellow Alaskans and to Americans during this i
need. We are proud to say that we have come so far toward finally getting Alaska's valuable natural gas
way that protects the state's interests and benefits all Alaskans.

The Alaska State Legislature is currently debating whether to approve TransCanada Alaska for the state
natural gas pipeline. Legislators have listened to hundreds of hours of thoughtful discussion from consult
people all over Alaska who deeply care about the state's future, and I want to thank them for conducting
commend the members of the State House of Representatives who provided a strong vote in favor of Ate
continue to help the State Senators make an educated decision on the merits of AGIA as well.

Over the course of a year, AGIA has proven to be exactly what the State of
Alaska needs. For the first time ever, we now have a committed partner who
is willing to provide exactly what Alaska demands for her citizens and with
an enforceable timeline that exceeds our expectations.

This is an exciting time for Alaskans. And we look forward to moving
together as a team, as Americans look north to the future for assistance.

In an effort to better serve Alaskans, my administration made some positive changes to the summer 200
report to you that those changes have resulted in increases in traffic by 6 percent overall this year from &
some communities the increases were substantial, like Sitka (27 percent increase for both passengers ai
(32 percent for passengers and 22 percent for vehicles) and Prince Rupert (25 percent for passengers at
vehicles.) WaVe been receiving positive comments from many communities, and we'll continue to work r

We're afeo excited about changes that ha*

Adding a little bit of activity to each day is so important to our overall physical and mental health. Alaskans did just that when
more than 2,800 of them signed up to compete in the National President's Challenge, a program that required people to get 30
minutes of exercise for at least five days a week for a six-week period. I'm proud to tell you that Alaska had a first-place finish
and fn July, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leayrtt presented the National President's
Challenge Award to Alaska for having the highest participation rate in the nation based on population. We are definitely moving
in the right direction, and thaf s great news for our state.

Alaska is strengthened by people with an entrepreneurial spirit, and small firm owners are making a major
contribution to our state economy. That's why I'm pleased to tell you that I was able to sign into law
legislation my administration put forward to reduce business license fees. House Bill 111 decreases the
fee for business licenses from $100 to $50 and will take effect October 1„ 2009, when the sale of 2010
licenses begins.

Bade in April, I encouraged state employees to help our men and women in uniform by donating eel! phones which could be
shipped overseas via a program called Ceil Phones for Soldiers. Now, several months later, the Department of Administration
has collected 271 used state and personal ceil phones. This will mean 271 hours of talk time for soldiers abroad, since each
phone is recycled m exchange for a one-hour calling card. In July, the Department of Administration shipped two boxes (52
pounds) of cell phones out of Juneau. The department is also working with individual Alaskans who are interested in donating
independently. For more information, contact \fem Jones, Director of the Division of General Services, at
Verri.Jpnes@alaskagov.

I am encouraged to share with you that tobacco use in Alaska has declined more than 20 percent overall, according to the
state's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey for 2007. The reduction equals more than 27,000 fewer smokers since 1996.

it

There is also a significant reduction in Alaska Native high school smokers, from 62 percent m
1995 to 44 percent in 2003 to 32 percent in 2007 {Youth Risk Behavior Survey). Smoking is
also down significantly among women - from 24,2 percent in 1 996 to 18.9 percent in 2007
(national prevalence is 18.4 percent). The steepest decline is among adults age 40-59, from
28.7 percent in 1996 to 21.6 percent in 2007.

The drop can be attributed to a sustained comprehensive tobacco prevention program,
including tax increases, clean indoor air policies, media, community programs and the Alaska
Tobacco Quit Line,

Russ and I spoke today with representatives of Governor Schweizer, = vice chair of the Natural
Resources Committee, and NGA staff concerning — themes and priorities for the committee.

Subject to each of us obtaining guidance from our respective - governors, we tentatively
identified energy infrastructure as our major = theme. In turn, this issue would be divided into
the following = components:

• Natural gas and oil pipelines

♦ Transmission lines

♦ National electricity grid, including smart meters and storage

• Funding of infrastructure, including public-private partnerships

This theme extrapolates from the NGA chair's emphasis on infrastructure e generally. In
addition, Russ and I figured that it would be a good = way to marshal additional bipartisan
support for an Alaska gas pipeline to = the lower 48.

Before proceeding further, it would be helpful for us to know whether = the foregoing
makes sense to you. Thanks.

Catchup

Governor,

B

c

I think today went fairly well, all in all, and would like a chance to get caught up
before tomorrow gets rolling. Is there any chance you are going to be back by the office?
If not, would you mind if Kelly, Nizich, and I stop by the residence this evening? We
could all use a few minutes.

Joe

Governor - V\fe have been asked to do a PSA Taping for the Alaska Food Bank. We have the script ready and
the video guys had a great idea of setting something up to tape at the house - i.e. It would be a great visual to
have you carry in a paper bag as you read the script - kind of like you are coming home with the groceries. It
would be a great visual for the TV version.

I know we have two events at the house tomorrow - so this could be set up for Thursday or Friday around the
lunch hour. Thanks, Janice

Subject: NGA/Resource Committee Priorities

Russ and I spoke today with representatives of Governor Schweizer, vice chair of the Natural Resources
Committee, and NGA staff concerning themes and priorities for the committee.

Subject to each of us obtaining guidance from our respective governors, we tentatively identified energy
infrastructure as our major theme. In turn, this issue would be divided into the following components:

• Natural gas and oil pipelines

• Transmission lines

• National electricity grid, including smart meters and storage

• Funding of infrastructure, including public-private partnerships

This theme extrapolates from the NGA chair's emphasis on infrastructure generally. In addition, Russ and I
figured that it would be a good way to marshal additional bipartisan support for an Alaska gas pipeline to the
lower 48.

Before proceeding further, it would be helpful for us to know whether the foregoing makes sense to you.
Thanks.

I listened to the video. Here's the opening dialogue between you, Kyle
Hopkins , and Sen, Stevens:

KH: Governor, your appearance here was kind of a surprise today. Can you tell
me about how that came about and whether we should see that as kind of an
endorsement for Sen. Stevens for re-election?

Gov: Well, it's urn. ..I'm on the clock and we're in a Federal Building, so we
won't talk about campaigns or endorsements, all that comas later, but I
support the Senator's proposals here and his passion to again allow Alaska to
be heard and to lead with an American energy policy that has been - I believe
- sorely lacking. And it is time to step up, work together, others are
looking to us, to see how we are going to work together through this energy
crisis and from here, forward, so I'm honored to get to be here and certainly
an entire team working with us, we are going to be able to create the best
solutions all working together. So, I'm honored to get to be here with him.

Sen: No, no, no announcements will be made here about - political
announcements won't be made in this room.

Governor MurkowskPs omnibus crime legislation

sentencing laws which Governor Murkowskr
signed into law this March. This rewrite became
necessary when the U.S. Supreme Court issued a

invalidated the criminal sentencing statutes in a
number of states, including Alaska.

My 30, 2008

Honorable Sarah Palin

Governor

Alaska State Capitol Building

Third Floor

P.O. Box 110001

Juneau, AK 9981 1-0001

Dear Governor Palin,

lama career federal law enforcement executive in the Senior Executive Service who once
served as the youngest Chief of Police in Haines Alaska in the mid-eighties. While serving in
Haines, I was hired by the U.S* Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration as a
Special Agent and transferred in and out of the state several times, to return 1 years later to
supervise the DEA's drug enforcement operations throughout Alaska. Today, through transfers,
promotions and an appointment by the DEA Administrator as a Special Agent in Charge, I
supervise over 800 employees and manage the fourth largest division for the Drug Enforcement
Administration in the most significant drug smuggling battlefield in the United States, South
Texas, Houston Field Division.

I would like to return to Alaska as your Commissioner of Public Safety and I have attached my
resume for your consideration. While I currently reside in Texas, I still own my home in Eagle
River and consider Alaska as my true home.

My attached resume outlines my professional experience in local and federal law enforcement
for over 32 years. I possess Top Secret Security Clearance and can assure you that my personnel
files for my entire career contain no adverse actions, integrity investigations, nor violations of
ethical rules and conduct I am well known in the law enforcement community in Alaska by the
present and former commanders of the Alaska State Troopers and the chiefs of major and small
police departments in the state. Law enforcement, especially federal, is a transient profession,
but there are many law enforcement professionals in Alaska who know me and can vouch for my
competency and character during my tenure in Alaska. I am also known by various members of
the Alaska United States Attorney's Office, the State's Department of Law and State Judiciary
members.

I believe that with my lifelong experiences in both local and federal law enforcement, I possess
unparalleled qualifications to ensure that the Alaska Department of Public Safety becomes a
model law enforcement agency, and to provide the leadership necessary to form an agency that is
the pride of the members and the public at large.

I would be honored to meet with you personally regarding this position, so that you may assess my
qualifications and the personal and professional details that are not possible in an email such as this.

At this juncture, I respectfully request that my interest in this position be kept strictly confidential as I
have not communicated my desire to retire from federal service to the DEA Administrator in
Washington DC. However, I would gladly provide references upon request from within my
organization and from the highest levels of the federal government including the Office of the National
Drug Control Policy at the White House; the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.

Thank you for your kind attention. Please let me know if I can provide further information, details or
references. I look forward to meeting with you in person.

You are "under investigation into whether you abused your power" so then you need to step

You "have violated the public trust", have your own "cloud over your head", so "for the

becoming an epidemic — how sad* Pis have someone contact the village and offer your help

I have written you a minimum of (3) times regarding the playground in Akiak, Ak but I have not heard back
from you.

New I am writing you with a more pressing problem. Since 2002 the village of Akiak has experienced an
alarming rate of suicide amongst their youth (5( total). This is in a village of 300. I believe my information is
correct What a waste of Alaskan youth.

Please have someone offer assistance to the school and the village in bringing this issue to a halt. I am not an
expert in mis matter but I do have some theories as to why it seems to be escalating.

I am available to discuss this matter with you via the phone if you want.

I can't find that reference from Baldino. Pis find her specific quote so you can give to
Sharon so she can (again) correct the 10 pm's mistake.

Sub j ect : Re : 10pm

Never said anything about a done-deal forthcoming endoresment. I'll ask Sharon to check on
what Balding think she heard- pis give Sharon details so she can check. I said weeks ago
"this isn't the time* in a Federal Bldg to endorse a candidate. Those who were with me at
the event heard it . Can r t remember who was with me .

I was there as was Sharon and Nizich. I recall the "now is not the time or place*" And no
specific mention that an endorsement would be forthcoming.

Governor,

Considering the schedule of the senate majority caucus (1 0:00 am) and then the cabinet meeting (1 1 :00 amX we
recommend that you block out the 1 :00 hour to make impromptu visits to the following members:

Lyman Hoffman
Bert Stedman
Donny Olson
LesilMcGuire
Charlie Huggins
Lyda Green

We could potentially got it started earlier if you excuse yourself from lunch a little bit early.

The message doestft need to be complex, just direct and to the point that Alaskans deserve a vote and it needs to
move out of committee today.

We could have Janice make calls to the offices shortly before you head up to the respective offices (if you look at
the list, you would start on the 5th Floor and then proceed down to the 1st Floor).

Let us know what you think about this plan.

Joe

Governor -

CNBC would like to interview you again about oil drilling and Senator Stevens. Since Juneau
does not have the technology to beam live video to the east coast - CNBC would fly a techie
from Channel 2 with portable equipment Please let me know if you would like to pursue
this.
