    1 MR. MAYO: 2 We'll be discussing critical investment, decisions 3 for national security, energy, transportation and for 4 our communities. We're going to be covering a lot of 5 ground. We'll be covering things that are important. 6 When you think about mixing the two economies 7 that exist side by side in our state, when you talk 8 about the economy of the wild resource way of life 9 that is commonly referred to as the subsistence way, 10 this is actually a very well-established economy in 11 our state. It is different -- differentiated from the 12 cash economy. But we acknowledge and recognize the 13 importance of both of these economies. But they each 14 must be protected. They each must be respected. 15 And the concerns that we'll talk about today 16 will range very broadly. And we're going to be 17 hearing from our different panels, the Congressional 18 Delegation, the Governor's office, the Lieutenant 19 Governor's office for the State of Alaska. 20 The Secretary of the Interior will be joining 21 us. And also we have members of our military who are 22 present with us as well, as well as the board of 23 directors for the AFN, Alaska Federation of Natives, 24 President Julie Kitka and our supporting staff. 25 16 COLONEL DON: Good morning.
