LISA MURKOWSKI, U.S. SENATOR FROM ALASKA The CHAIRMAN. Good morning. We will call the hearing to order. I would like to thank you all for being here with us this morning. We are considering legislation related to the upcoming National Park Service (NPS) Centennial. The bill that we have before us today is the Administration’s proposal titled the ‘‘National Park Service Centennial Act.’’ Senator Cantwell has introduced this as S. 2257. I think just about everybody in the room knows, and certainly the word is out, that 2016 will mark the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. This is certainly a time to celebrate the Park Service’s stewardship of America’s most magnificent natural landscapes including many of our most important cultural and his- torical places and the public’s enjoyment of them. I know that I am going to be getting out to visit the parks in my state. This year was a great opportunity to get out to Denali and go into the park in the fall, which is exceptionally beautiful, par- ticularly when you wake up and it is covered with snow. It is one of those opportunities that you just do not forget. Last year we had an opportunity in Wrangell-St. Elias to enjoy yet another amazing park. I want all of us to get out and visit our National Parks next year. That is only part of what this Centennial calls for. More importantly it offers us a chance to ensure that the National Park System operates sustainably for the next 100 years, and I think it is going to take a serious effort to achieve that goal. The National Park Service was created in 1916 to manage the growing number of park units established by Congress and monu- ments proclaimed by the President. Back then we had 35 units. Today the system has grown to 409 units. The Park Service admin- isters over 80 million acres of Federal land in the United States, about two thirds, or 54 million acres, is located in my State of Alas- ka. (1) 2 As the Park System has grown, so has the backlog of its mainte- nance projects. The National Park Service estimates its mainte- nance backlog at approximately $11.5 billion right now. It is antici- pated that the backlog will continue to grow as the result of addi- tional land acquisitions combined with the unavoidable effects of increased visitor use, inflation and asset deterioration. The maintenance backlog is a travesty I think we recognize must be addressed. To me there is little point in conserving land or al- lowing the Federal Government to acquire even more land if we are not going to take the proper care of those lands. Caring for these lands is as important as anything. I want to be very clear. I do not think that this is an instance where we can simply throw money at a problem and consider it solved. I disagree that simply providing more funding, as the Ad- ministration proposes, is the best approach for dealing with the maintenance backlog. Our nation is facing a serious fiscal crisis. We cannot simply spend however much we want on whatever we want, wherever we perceive a need. Instead we need to look at new and alternative ways to fund the park system, strive to be more efficient with ap- propriated dollars and reassess our current funding priorities. One area that we have discussed before and that I am encour- aged to see pick up, at least in concept in this legislative proposal, are ideas to encourage philanthropic support and leverage private donations for NPS programs and projects. I think that we need to do a better job of encouraging folks who care about the park system to contribute both their resources and their dollars. I am particularly interested in the endowment idea that we see included here, as an endowment can be a great tool to ensure long- term viability if it is structured properly. Of course, the next 100 years are not just about maintenance backlogs and resource projects. As I mentioned earlier, the Park Service has a huge presence in Alaska. It is probably not surprising that there are tensions that arise when we try to reconcile the local needs and culture with that of a landlord that is situated almost 4,000 miles away. While the issues we face in Alaska may be different from those faced by the neighbors of lower East Side Tenement Museum in Manhattan, the next century will also be about visitors and con- necting the next generation to our parks. We need to enhance and expand visitor services to meet the demands of this next genera- tion, and that may require some new tools. I am interested in learning more about the pilot program that this legislation seeks to establish to allow the Visitors Service Man- agement Authority to award and manage contracts for the oper- ation of commercial visitor services programs and activities. With the National Park Service Centennial upon us, it is time that

  • Sen. Cory Gardner
    COVERING FOR CORRUPTION PART THREE: SEN. CORY GARDNER A SPECIAL REPORT FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL INTEGRITY PROJECT Ensuring that public officials are working in the public interest is one of Congress’s most important responsibilities. But year after year, some lawmakers get it backwards: They attempt to distract the public from real corruption while they use their positions to enrich themselves and those close to them. Sen. Cory Gardner (R) of Colorado has a history of taking policy positions that benefit his wife’s business interests as a consultant and advocate for fossil fuels—and by extension, his family’s bottom line. This report, part three of our “Covering for Corruption” series, details how Sen. Gardner’s official actions overlap with entities Jaime Gardner has worked for or represented. For years, the Gardners have skirted ethics rules so that Jaime can profit off of fossil fuels while Cory boosts those same industries through official actions. While we do not know exactly how much the Gardners have profited from this arrangement, it reeks of the self-dealing that Washington insiders love but voters despise. And while his family profits, Cory Gardner uses his public platform to moralize against self-dealing. Gardner should come clean to his constituents about his intermingled public and private interests by disclosing his wife’s client lists and any overlap with industries that have business in front of the legislatives bodies he’s served in. We can’t force Gardner to act with integrity. But we can expose his record to stop him from misleading and manipulating voters.

Cory Gardner holding an insignificant one point lead over first-term incumbent Mark Udall. In the race for Governor, incumbent John Hickenlooper holds a 7 point lead over former Congressman Bob Beauprez who is making his second run for this office. In the election for U.S. Senate, Colorado voters who are likely to cast a ballot next month divide their vote – 47% for Republican challenger Cory Gardner and 46% for Democratic incumbent Mark Udall. Another 4% say they will vote for a different candidate and 3% remain undecided. In the race for Colorado Governor, 50% of likely voters support Democratic incumbent John Hickenlooper and 43% support GOP challenger Bob Beauprez. Another 3% say they will vote for a different candidate and 4% remain undecided. All major party candidates have strong support among their partisan bases. Specifically, 93% of Democrats support Hickenlooper for governor and 92% support Udall for senator, while 85% of Republicans support Beauprez and 86% support Gardner. Independent voters in Colorado have a clearer preference for one office than they do for the other. Independent voters support Hickenlooper over Beauprez by a 53% to 35% margin in the race for governor, but split their vote for senator 43% for Udall and 42% for Gardner.

He's been a leader in Congress on Asia policy, which is something that used to be sort of esoteric and no one really thought about, except for us people at think tanks, but suddenly everybody's affected by Asia policy because we got a virus that originated in Wuhan and has spread across this country and caused massive problems for our country and for our economy and for American workers, 40 million of whom have lost their jobs. So, Asia policy is a really, really big deal for a lot of people these days.
