  • Eye on the Caribou
    3 Oil politics Man standing next to the trans-Alaska pipeline. 44 EYE ON THE CARIBOU There’s an old political cliché that most folks associate with the Watergate scandal: “Follow the money.” In Alaska, the statement should be amended to, “Follow the oil.” When the oil began to flow through the recently completed trans-Alaska pipeline on June 20, 1977, that’s exactly what Alaskans did. Oil was the new crowned king and has pretty much remained the dominant element in Alaska’s political and business life ever since. Over the last 50 years oil has driven Alaskan politics more than any other industry in the state’s history. Through taxes and fees levied by the state, it has contributed billions to the Alaskan economy and billions to the Alaska State Treasury. There also is the Permanent Fund (more on this later), a product of, and a tribute to, the genius of Governor Jay Hammond, who spearheaded an effort that placed on the Alaska ballot a requirement for a certain amount of the oil revenue to be sequestered away into a savings fund. From the interest off that fund there would be an annual distribution to legal residents of Alaska based on the number of years they had lived there. The principal was to remain forever sacrosanct. It was overwhelmingly endorsed by the people of Alaska and over the years has placed billions into the pockets of Alaskans. One has to wonder just where the state would be today if the liquid gold had not been discovered. When ARCO hit the jackpot by drilling a producing well, it set off the kind of frenzy that hadn’t been seen in Alaska since the early gold rush days.

Following an evocative foreword from activist and community organizer, Ed Wesley, the book begins with a discussion of black involvement in the Paciÿc whaling industry during the middle and late-nineteenth century. It then discusses how the Gold Rush and the World Wars shaped Alaska and brought thousands of black migrants to the territory. °e ÿnal chapters analyze black history in Alaska in our contemporary era. It also presents a series of biographical sketches of notable black men and women who passed through or settled in Alaska and contributed to its politics, culture, and social life. °is book highlights the achievements and contributions of Alaska’s black community, while demonstrating how these women and men have endured racism, fought injustice, and made a life and home for themselves in the forty-ninth state.

  • The Alaska Statehood Act Does Not Guarantee Alaska Ninety Percent of the Revenue from Mineral Leases on Federal Lands in Alaska
    COMMENTS The Alaska Statehood Act Does Not Guarantee Alaska Ninety Percent of the Revenue from Mineral Leases on Federal Lands in Alaska Ivan L. Ascott" I. INTRODUCTION Alaska is the largest state in the Union.1 At over 365 million acres, it is one-fifth as large as the contiguous forty-eight states.2 Alaska also has a proportionately large share of federal land within its borders.3 The U.S. government owns 220.8 million acres in Alaska, which is over sixty percent of the land in the state.4 It is significant for Alaska that such a large amount of the state's land is under federal control because Alaska's economy depends on natural resource use. In particular, oil fuels the state's economic engine and contributes about eighty percent of the tax revenues for state government.' Alaskan oil is also important to the rest of the country because it accounts for about fifteen percent of domestic production.6 The most likely, and perhaps last, site for development of a major new oilfield in Alaska is in the coastal plain of the Arctic * J.D. cum laude 2004, Seattle University School of Law. The author would like to thank Alaska statehood supporters George and Mary Sundborg for generously creating the Alaska Scholarship for Alaskans to study law at Seattle University. 1. CLAUS M.

    Call Number: 02-00-55 Memorial Statue Dedication – Bartlett Summary created by: Jacob Metoxen Date of creation of summary: 3/25/13, 4/22/13 Notes: Congressman Nick Begich begins by acknowledging Mrs. [Vide] Bartlett, Senators, Representatives, and guests. Begich says this is certainly a historical event for Alaska and the United States. He says the people of Alaska have made their first consideration for a person worthy of a dedication in statuary hall. Today Senator Bob Bartlett is being acknowledged. The Joint Armed Services Color Guard and United States Coast Guard Academy Band perform the Stars Spangled Banner at 45 seconds into the recording. The man says he is pleased to call upon Reverend Edward Eielson, chaplain of the United States Senate, for the invocation. Eielson says a prayer regarding Bob Bartlett. At 6:00 into the recording Senator Mike Gravel begins a speech. He discusses the memory that so many people have of Bob Bartlett as a warm and genuine human being. Statehood was a turning point on the north that will have far reaching implications for the future. He says statehood is Bob Bartlett’s monument. He has many achievements that flow from the years of brilliant public service. While he lived, Alaskans and his congressional colleagues gave Bob Bartlett love and trust. Gravel says now that everyone is together to honor Bartlett’s memory for all time. He says it is his pleasure to introduce Mrs. Bartlett, who will unveil the statue of Bob Bartlett. Also in attendance are the Bartlett daughters; Doris and Riley of Anchorage and Sue Peterson of Washington.

This study focuses on three separate projects: Eklutna, Rampart, and Devil Canyon. The Eklutna project functions today; Rampart was not constructed; and the Devil Canyon project is still in the planning stage. Yet for all their differences in location, goals, and fate, the projects were related; and, taken together, their histories highlight all the essential political elements involved in hydroelectric power construction.

The association was formed primarily to win the referendum vote but its members, Alaskans from all sections of the Territory, realize that statehood cannot be attained in a day and even after the U. S. congress has enacted the enabling legislation, the state has been set up and its officers have begun to function, the original aims and desires of the people still will have to be sought out and carried forward. George Sundborg, author of this report, newspapered at Juneau, did research work for the Alaska office of the National Resources Planning board and for the US State Department, and served as assistant director of the North Pacific Study, a joint Canadian-U.S.

  • The Vietnam War Dissent of Ernest Gruening and Wayne Morse, 1964- 1968
    THE VIETNAM WAR DISSENT OF ERNEST GRUENING AND WAYNE MORSE, 1964- 1968 A. DWAYNE BEGGS A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: DR. GARY R. HESS, Advisor DR. TIMOTHY S. FREURST Graduate Faculty Representative DR. EDMUND J. DANZIGER DR. BETH GRIECH-POLELLE DR. JEFFREY S. PEAKE © 2010 Alvin Dwayne Beggs All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Gary R. Hess, Advisor On 2 August 1964, while patrolling in the Gulf of Tonkin, the U.S.S. Maddox was attacked by the North Vietnamese Navy. Then on 4 August both the U.S.S. Maddox and the U.S.S. C. Turner Joy were also allegedly attacked. These events were used by President Lyndon B. Johnson to secure authority from the United States Congress to take actions he deemed necessary to protect United States military personnel, national security interests, and United States allies. The Tonkin Gulf Resolution was approved unanimously in the House of Representatives and by a vote of 88-2 in the Senate. In this dissertation the Gulf of Tonkin incidents will be summarized, the ensuing Senate debates analyzed with a specific focus on the dissenting position of Senators Ernest Gruening (Democrat-Alaska) and Wayne Morse (Democrat-Oregon), the only members of Congress to vote against the resolution, their ceaseless effort to extricate the United States from Vietnam and finally their impact on their Senatorial colleagues. There has been much written about the Gulf of Tonkin incident and the Congressional debate; however, there has been little focus on the continued arguments of these two senators from 1964-1968, their attempts to bring equilibrium back to the Senates relationship with president and the impact they had on their Senate colleagues.

  • The Carlson Chronicle
    THE CARLSON CHRONICLE Get mad, and get even! Alaska’s long-time senior senator, the late Ted Stevens (1968-2008), had a vicious temper. He could erupt in a split second. Turnover on his staff was constant for few folks would take his berating their competence for long. He was demanding, would not accept excuses and expected one never to make the same mistake twice. His caustic criticism often was aimed at the press. He rarely hesitated to call a reporter and let them know how badly they’d screwed up.. Behind all the anger, bluff and bluster, though, there was one decent person who had a tender heart, truly cared for those less fortunate and was devoted to his wife, Ann, and their children. He was a man of his word, a tireless advocate for Alaskans and a formidable adversary. He rarely carried a grudge, with one major exception-----his senatorial colleage, Alaska’s junior senator, Mike Gravel. He hated Gravel, and with good reason Stevens truly believed, and it was plausible, that Gravel brought about the situation that led to the death of Ann. Gravel, born in Massachusettts, went to Alaska with the not so secret desire to achieve high public office. He drove a cab for awhile but soon got into real estate and was successful enough to seek office. An intelligent, charming fellow, he was liked well enough by his House colleagues to be elected Speaker. In 1966 he trried to parlay the Speaker post into election as Alaska’s sole member of the House but was defeated in the Democratic primary by Ralph Rivers.

Applying thematic analysis to the interviews, themes, or codes were extracted from the interviews and unified into code families: “family,” “work,” “Alaska Constitutional Convention,” and “Alaska Constitution,” with other code families supporting these four. The “Alaska Constitutional Convention” becomes the super code, or main theme of this thesis. The research explores three themes: non-partisan politics at the Alaska Constitutional Convention, the camaraderie among the delegates and staff at the Alaska Constitutional Convention, and gender differences among Coghill, Fischer, Hurley, and Bartlett.
