we had formal consultation in alaska with the alaska native leaders on this very topic. we take very seriously the legal and professional obligations to safeguard the information that we gather from the public. and that's why we're doing the deferential privacy. we think the gold standard for privacy protection in all of computer science and cryptography. so we're working very hard. remember, we are sworn by law to protect personal information. so we cannot sacrifice that at all. ms. murkowski: we understand that there is a balance. we want to make sure that we get there, knowing that you are on this working with us is important. so we'll keep in touch as we move forward with that. i want to end my comments going back to things that swim in the water. this time just a little bit bigger. i'd like to talk about the humpback whales. noaa has recently proposed a esignation of critical habitat . 175,000-plus square nautical miles as critical habitat for three distinct populations of humpback what's. the majority of this area -- whales. the majority of this area, over 120,000

i want to start off with a couple of alaska specific issues. you have mentioned that, and my colleague senator manchin also acknowledged that the administration is proposing its highest national timber target in decades here. that goal, as you probably know, really does not extend to us in alaska. we are at the lowest point that we have seen in our states history since we have been locking there and certainly among the lowest in the nation here. only 5.6 million were sold an alaskan 2019. this would be 0.1 4% of this year's goal. again, recognizing that this is coming from our nations largest national forest. again, i just came from southeast, i was down in ketchikan, in juneau, inside cars, obviously a discussion about the road list but really a broader concern about whether or not we are going to be able to get any reliable volume out of the tongass given what we are seeing. what steps can you share with me is the forest service taking to reverse this trend on the timber in alaska? >> thank you senator. i hear you loud and clear. i too have c

so, they came up with ancsa, alaska native claim settlement act, which is pretty unique. portion was 5 million acres of land to be selected, and $22 million to start t our businesses. trying to select those lands while e we were e being left ouf the m most highly potential are, that was the challenge. it was almost like we were set up to fail. but we didn't. i guess there was some concern, wondering what a few savage eskimos would do with millions of dollars, right? from the early days of right around '94, we were able to grow the company to about 225 million in revenue. today, we're close to 3 billilion in revenue. w we own two of the refineries here in alaska. we're into construction, government contracting. lately, we've been n expanding g into te lower 48 i in order fofor us to groow. we have a shareholder base of about 13,000, which is the inupiaq people of the arctic slope and their descendants. our shareholders receive probably about 5,000 a year. we didn't have r running water. we didn'n't have the clinics, the fire stations, the schools. responsible development.

turning to alaska, are you coming out with that this week? >> it was finalized months ago.it is final, the next step is that decision and after that would be potentially a proposed way to process contemplated under the statute that requires that. >> not that i am aware of. >> okay. two things i am concerned about, obviously we can see where the oil markets are today and obviously when you look at the return, what we are very concerned about, obviously wildlife and what you would possibly get out of it, one thing i was very concerned about is how the impact of the analysis and obviously we want no impact on polar bears but one is apply to polar bear and industries above it. would you support a 1 mile buffer in the area? >> when we come back with that plan, it's likely the areas that are most with other things. you can look at the various alternatives and eis to look at the choices that people have thought through. the conditions that would be applied. ... >> that is highly consistent with the marine protection mammal act as a matter of law. >> i certainly hope so but is supp

maybe they should come to alaska. maybe they should come to somewhere else in america, come to my state. i guarantee you we have the metal, mr. president. alaskans and other great americans to get through this crisis. i always say my constituents are some of the most resilient people in the world. let me just give you a couple of examples. our alaskanian native communities have been thriving for thousands of years in some of the harshest conditions anywhere on the planet. we are a state full of the ancestors of rugged pioneers who came to alaska looking for promise and stayed to build a great state. in my state, we have had extreme challenges before throughout our history. earthquakes have flattened our buildings. tsunamis have wiped out cities, floods have swept away our homes and entire communities. wildfires have singed our cities. volcanic eruptions have dimmed the sun. the price of oil and the markets have dropped before like we're seeing now and now we have another unprecedented challenge, a pandemic facing my b

and alaska never became a member of the united nations. i'm pretty sure i'm running out of time, so i will try to wrap up my presentation. i miserably failed to cover all aspects of the yalta conference, but i tried to deal with the most important ones and the big question is, after this very short overview, whether or not the hi srstography was a failurr not. maybe it was an unqualified success for the united states and for the western allies. well the answer to all of these may be more nuanced than the questions themselves. and one thing that is very obviously is that yatla was perceived as a great success for all three powers. they got what they wanted. what was at the very top of their agenda, all of them, it turned out that it wasn't necessary. truman was trying to stop that, at that point from the perspective of february of 1945 that was a big success. stalin knew he would get away with whatever he wanted, but there was a formal agreement to support democratic processes, so there was a hope for churchill and fdr. france was not only

i'm pleased to follow my friend and colleague and fellow marine from alaska. we are separated by about as far a geographical distance as can be in this nation, alaska and connecticut. and i'm also pleased to be followed by a colleague from colorado who is almost smack in the middle. and we are united, despite our geographic differences and despite our political differences. and i want to assure the american people that the contention they have seen on this floor in no way reflects the reality of our hope and desire to move quickly and to move big to address this unprecedented, historic crisis. a health care emergency and an economic emergency in this country. the reality is that right now, less than 25 yards from us, the minority leader, the democratic leader, chuck schumer, and perhaps the secretary of the treasury or his representatives and also representatives of the white house are literally working on a better bill, a bill that better protects workers, workers and families should come first. not corporate interests. small businesses should be a priority.
