it really is hard to imagine alaska without the trans-alaska pipeline. it's hard to imagine the consequences that america would have faced without the 17.5 billion barrels of oil that it is now safely carried to market. think about that. 17.5 billion barrels of oil over the past 40 years. it's no exaggeration to say that while we built a pipeline, that pipeline helped us build our state. today, as we mark the 40th anniversary of taps, we can also take stock of the challenges that it faces. many are a direct result of the decisions made or perhaps not made in this very chamber. because while our pipeline once carried 2.1 million barrels of oil per day, accounting for a full quarter of america's supply, today that amount has been crimped down to just over 500,000 barrels a day. it's not due to lack of resources. not at all but instead our lack of access to those resources. alaska has never lacked for energy, just the permission to produce it despite the promises that have been made to our statehood and beyond. according to the energy information administra

alaska is different. how can serve about the survey process, don't know how long we've been at that process. >> to log. >> we are working with state to use technology and agreed on how to use the technologies we can get it done. >> it still remains a little bit of a rub, i appreciate that you are updated on the on your visit to alaska. >> i would like to work with you on that. there surveys and the immediate process, i don't know why we can't go forward and view those is final. and get that moving. you have a veteran issue. the veterans and native alaska server countries, they were either not informed or took action and how to provide the right on lands, we talk and there's multiple ways forward but we need to get it done. so i will commits work with you and get it done, i think the best password is to agree and put a timeframe on it. and to sit down and look at the best technology in order to get it done, sometimes the 98 solution today is better than 100% solution in 15 years from now. if we both work t

how high would it have to be for alaska -- -- alaska to pick that up and not the sbx? >> if you would have translated that scenario north, that scenario would have been picked up by the alaska radar. >> san francisco or higher or something? >> that -- the construct that i described protects the entire continental united states. >> so let's go to the sbx. in 2020 it's going to have to go dry dock, right? >> yes, sir. >> so you're talking about building an actual radar on kauai, right? >> in the state of hawaii. >> okay. so not the pacific missile range facility? >> that is one option. we haven't decided on location. there are six or seven locations we're looking at. >> does the navy not want to do it there? the >> the navy understands the need for the radar and we're working closely with them on what operational restrictions would have to be in place. >> but you basically have to have this done by 2020? >> we do. >> right. okay. so i guess my next question is if you do it anywhere in hawaii, the pacific missile range facility excluded, are you going to have to go throug

and alaska is different. as i'm concerned about the surveying process, i don't know how long we've been at the surveying process. >> too long. >> but it's too long. so we are working with the state to use technology and agree how to use the technology so we can get it done. >> and that still remains a little bit of a rub, but i appreciate that you were updated on that on your visit to alaska. >> and i would like to work with you. there's surveys that are in intermediate process. i don't know why we can't go forward and view those as final in the process and get that moving. you have a veteran issue. vietnam veterans, native alaskans served our country, they were not either informed, did not take action with it, and how to provide their right on land. we've talked -- there's multiple ways forward, but we need to get it done. so i will work with you and committee to work with you and get it done. i think the best path forward is on a conveyance to agree and put a time frame on it and to sit down and look at the

our hearing coincides with a big milestone for alaska. today is the 40th anniversary of first oil moving through our trans-alaska pipeline. our 800day in 1977, mile-long pipeline carried what is now more than 17 billion oils of oil -- barrels of southeast. while youopportunity are in alaska to be at the start of the pipeline, mile zero. along with a couple of others. i believe you saw why alaskans say it is not just a pipeline, it is truly our economic lifeline. we wasted no time signing a secretary order helping us to fulfill that asset. the administration has requested a total of 11.7 billion dollars in discretionary appropriations for the department of the interior. overall that is a reduction from $1 billion in the current level, the administration's effort to shift funding. we are going to view all of iese cuts a very carefully, don't expect many to become a reality, especially those that target popular programs. i will also say that the positives in my view outweigh the negatives. program we cannot support, there is another one that

we have radar in japan, alaska, and homeland defense system in alaska as well. so what we did was move that area south and put a tippy on the island. a radar northwest of hawaii. and shot an intercepter out of vandenberg which 2,000 miles south replicated what the war fighter would face in realtime. the scenario was executed by war fighters on console. and the way the information flowed after the launch of t the -- upon a launch of north korean ballistic missile. it will be detected by the overhead sensors, pass it to the radars in japan, pass it to the radar in alaska, develops the weapons task plan in alaska, to shoot an intercepter to defeat that threat. i would actually argue the scenario that we conducted was maybe more operationally realistic than not. >> gentleman's time expired. . >> we only fired one intercepter and in a real world scenario would fire more than one. >> we're going to have to get a classified briefing in before we get called for votes. trying to keep everybody on schedule. mr. hunter is recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. let's go to

we have tippi 2 radars in japan, we have radar in alaska and a homeland defense system in alaska as well. what we did is move that scenario south and put a tippi 2 northwest of hawaii and shot an interceptor out of vandenberg which just a thousand or 2,000 miles south, replicated what the war fighter would face in realtime. the scenario was executed by war fighters on console. and the way the information flowed after the launch of the target is exactly the same way the information would flow upon a launch of a north korean ballistic missile. it would be detected by the overhead sensors, pass it to the radars in japan, pass it to the radar in alaska, develop the interceptor task plan, and shoot an interceptor to defeat that threat. i would actually argue the scenario that we conducted was maybe more operationally realistic than not. we only -- >> the gentlelady's time has expired. >> we only fired one interceptor. a war fightner a real world scenario will fire more than one. >> i'll try to keep everybody on schedule. the gentleman from california is recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman.

alaska is different. i'm concerned about the survey process. i don't know how long we've been in the survey process. >> too long. >> but it's too long. >> we are working with states to get technologies done. >> it still remains a little bit, but i appreciate you were updated on that on your visit to alaska. >> and i would like to work with you. their certainly is an animated process. i don't know why we can't go forward and read those as final in the process and get that moving. you have a better initiate. vietnam veterans coming native alaskans in the alaskans in the country were either not informed and did not take action with it and how to provide their right homeland. there's multiple ways forward, but we need to get it done. so i will work with you and commit to work with you in it done. the best path forward is a conveyance to agree and put a timeframe on it in to sit down and look at the best technology in order to get it done. sometimes the 90% solution today is better than 100% solution 15 years from now. if we both were together, we c

that is what you see in alaska. to be clear, it is supported by a natural resource rather than taxation. host: in doing research to speak with you, i put it into a google search. 10 lines popped up. what is the deal? weiss and gaining steam? -- why isn't gaining steam? -- is it gaining steam? katherine: there is this idea of the robots are coming for jobs, and when they do, what happens to the money? one proposal is next income. it seems to solve that problem monthly. another reason is because welfare programs and their structures are controversial, and every step of the way there are so many partisan differences about these proposals, whereas basic income proposals are pretty trans-partisan. people all over find them appealing for their own reasons. have to argue that we could compromise in a way we are having compromising on other proposals. host: is there a case we can look to where it is working? katherine: no. alaska is pretty close. there are proposals constantly being floated. very recently in the netherlands

senator murkowski: capacity building, cost reductions for tribes in alaska, natives. in is a tough area to cut, my view. we have a situation in alaska, we got half the tribes in the country, and a lot of opportunities in the energy our when it comes to native people. we have doubled the staffing in the office of indian energy in alaska. folks, ave two d.o.e. to permanent employees in the state. we have been working with secretary moniz because we had one fellow, one person who had been running things for a period of years. he promised we might be able to see as many as three. we're up to two, but the reality is that we have had lack of adequate and consistent d.o.e. staffing within our state. 'm not going to suggest to you need to be on a hiring spree but i want to make sure our needs are met. office of indian energy, in my view, is one of those areas where you have high-need -- an important priority. we need to make sure that not only resources are there but those that help effectuate the initiatives are in place. so the question to you at this time is whether you --
