    Remarks by Mead Treadwell Chair, U.S. Arctic Research Commission International Arctic Fisheries Conference Institute of the North/Hotel Captain Cook Anchorage, Alaska – October 19, 2009 Arctic Fisheries: five things we should commit to now Thank you, Ben, for your introduction, and for pulling this conference together. Some of you know Ben Ellis, some of you may not. Until a few weeks ago, I called him ‘boss’: I’d recruited him, and he’d succeeded me as managing director of the Institute of the North. Ben, you’ve done a magnificent job for Alaskans, for the Arctic, for the country by doing what Governor Wally Hickel taught us both to do: convene a learned conversation to help Northerners address what’s strategic, and to find a common voice. Northerners everywhere can thank you for what you’ve done to advance fisheries, shipping, aviation safety, our common security, and sustainable energy in your work. The tone and tenor of Alaska’s political conversation – and talk throughout the Arctic – is calmer, cooler, and collected because of your dedicated work, including one of the Institute’s hallmark programs, an annual “Alaska Dialogue” policy conference at the foot of North America’s tallest mountain, Denali. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying Ben himself is always calm or cool or collected! Try bringing bananas on his fishing boat! Ben, every time we see your temper, it has been to get us all to chip in, to push us all forward, and forward we have come. Thanks. I also want to recognize Ambassador David Balton who is with us this week.

Dedicated professional staff located in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kenai Fish and Wildlife Offices and the Anchorage Conservation Genetics Laboratory serve as the core of the Program’s fisheries management study efforts. Administrative and technical support is provided by staff in the Anchorage Regional Office.

It brings trouble. Look at this locura—waste, corruption, consumption, our public services falling apart. And debt, debt we shall have for years.” So warned Juan Pablo Pérez Alfonso, a Venezuelan founder of OPEC. A September 24, 2004, article in the British magazine The Economist elaborates further on Pérez Alfonso: During the heady oil boom of the mid-1970s . he was seen as an alarmist. In fact, he was astonishingly prescient. Oil producers vastly expanded domestic spending, mostly on gold- plated infrastructure projects that set inflation roaring and left mountains of debt. Worse, this did little for the poor. Venezuela had earned over $600 billion in oil revenues since the mid- 1970s but the real income per person of Pérez Alfonso’s compatriots fell by 15% in the decade after he expressed his disgust. The picture is similar in many OPEC countries. So bloated were their budgets that when oil prices fell to around Editor’s note: This chapter has kept as much as possible Hammond’s original text even though it was an unfinished manuscript. 5 02-933286-70-9 CH 2:0559-8 10/4/12 11:37 AM Page 6 6 Jay Hammond Acknowledgments from Larry Smith, coordinator The Hammond Family: Bella Gardiner Hammond, Jay’s wife, who keeps the home fires burning and who asked her granddaughter, Lauren Stanford, to send me the author's last draft.
