that fall, alaskans chose their tennessee plan delegates, and now it was on to washington. in december 1956, alaska tennessee plan delegates bill egan and ralph rivers set out to drive all the way from fairbanks to washington d.c. the trip was a publicity stunt that would stop at each state capital that had joined the union via the tennessee plan tactic. ernest gruening would meet them on the way for the last leg of the journey. >> they then arrived in washington. they didn't know what was going to happen. during the previous congressional session, '55 to '57, i think statehood bills for both states were simply recommitted to committee. they didn't get to the floor. it was a terribly depressing time. so with 1957 dawning and the new congress, they had no particular reason for hope. >> narrator: on january 14, 1957, alaska's tennessee plan delegates were formally introduced to the senate from the gallery. the senators applauded but denied the request to seat them as members of congress or enact statehood legislation. bob bartlett knew that it wouldn't be that simple. >> some
