alaska has -- alaska, as all my colleagues know, is a producer for the rest of the country, really for the rest of the world. that's our legacy. it's also our future. and that's because we're blessed with an amazing abundance of resources that most states and really even most countries can't even -- can't even dream of. you name the resource, and there's a pretty good chance that we have it. in fact, there is a pretty good chance that we have a lot of it. so how will our bill help alaska produce more energy and minerals? for starters, it boosts hydropower development. hydropower right now provides 24% of our state's electricity, which is good, critically important. but we have more than 200 promising sites with untapped hydropower potential. so our commitment to this clean renewable resource and our efforts to improve the regulatory process for it could benefit communities throughout the southeastern part of the state where i grew up, south central, where i'm living now, southwest. it provides benefit for all. our bill also streamlines the approval process for l.n.g. exports. the presi

the presiding officer: the senator from alaska. ms. murkowski: madam president, i just want to comment on the statements that have been made by my colleague and friend from north dakota who has been an amazing leader, a very strong leader here in the united states senate since she came, trying to shine a spotlight on the issues particularly surrounding our native american and alaska native children. we are working together on a commission that really does help to drill down to find those best supports that we possibly can for these children that in so many instances have been left behind, and as you speak about our tribal institutions, our tribal colleges and that next -- that next step to launch our young people successfully and recognizing that we have opportunities to grow and do better by our tribal colleges. i had an opportunity just yesterday to be visited by some -- some students as well as those within iljsadgvik college, which is located in barrow, alaska, a small facility. i had a chance to meet with two students. all live in

and central america and south america, so from alaska all the way south to chile on the west coast, the pacific coast of the western hemisphere, you would find that the fifth biggest river in all of that vast stretch, the great rivers of alaska and canada, the sacramento river, the colorado river down here, and the rivers of central and south america, the fifth biggest and s to be right here here and here. the fifth biggest river are the sanitation plants of california that take water from up and down the entire area and from the colorado all the way from the rockies, use it, clean it to a higher standard than the day it arrives in the great citiesful california -- cities of california, clean it to a higher standard, and then they dump it into the ocean. this is utter foolishness. and so in the garamendi-feinstein legislation, we have $200 million for water recycling. so that we can recycle that water and reuse it. and make use of water that's already available. we know, for example, that in los angeles there is approximately a million acre feet of water in los angeles that's not no

the presiding officer: the senator from alaska. ms. murkowski: mr. president, before i begin my remarks this morning about where we are with the energy policy modernization act, i want to acknowledge my colleague from massachusetts. i come from a very large, very remote state. 80% of the communities in alaska are not connected by road. one would think that our isolation might also insulate us from some of the scourges that we see when it comes to drugs and drug addiction. unfortunately, that is not the case. we are seeing in my state this same level of epidemic. while the numbers might not be as eye popping as we're seeing in massachusetts and new hampshire and other parts of the country, that's because we have fewer people. but on a per capita basis, our numbers are staggering. they are very worrying, and it is something that as my colleague from massachusetts notes, this is not something that should be a republican or a democrat problem or a republican or democrat solution. this is all of us working together because what is happening, what we are s

but could also have a severe economic consequence for alaska. the house saw heated debate over protections for the arctic national wildlife refuge. kolo 8 news now washington correspondent kellie meyer reports. this is the first time congress voted on the issue since president obama released a call to action to designate the 10-02 area, or coastal plain, as wilderness. but it's something alaska congressman don young says isn't good for the people he represents. the senior legislator went head to head with california congressman jared huffman working to defeat his amendment to the share act, or the 'sportsmen's heritage and recreational enhancement act'. the share act is a bipartisan package of bills that focuses on protecting recreational hunting, fishing, and shooting. huffman's amendment backs president obama's proposal to designate the refuge as wilderness. congressman young says he is against this plan because of the potential for future energy development. young: "you say well we don't need the oil now. i heard that in 1960. we didn't need
