"Requesting that the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities terminate the State of Washington's involvement in the Alaska marine highway system."

HR 12 would request that the Department of Transportation limit the southern terminus of the Alaska Marine Highway to Hyder, Alaska, or Prince Rupert, British Columbia, rather than Bellingham, Washington.

The Washington Congressional Delegation has consistently voted against ANWR development in addition to other issues vital to Alaskans. It seems only proper that if Alaska is to be denied tapping it's resources due in part to the actions of the Washington Delegation, we need not share the wealth we have with them.
