Sponsor Statement for HJR 44
Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Route

Urging the President of the United States, the United States Congress, and appropriate federal officials to support the construction and operation of the Alaska Highway Natural Gas Pipeline route.

HJR 44 was introduced to clearly articulate Alaska's position regarding the commercialization of Alaska's vast natural gas reserves.

It is important to keep the momentum going on the gas pipeline issue and it is imperative for the State of Alaska to give a clear message to Congress as to our position on the various issues that are being considered at this time.

Currently, energy legislation is being debated in the Senate. Talking heads that have never been to Alaska are constantly in the news expressing opinions about policy issues that affect Alaska. It is past time that Washington D. C. seriously considers what Alaskans think about issues that determine our fate.

This resolution will send a clear and unambiguous message to Congress on how Alaskans want their resources developed. Our congressional delegation will be able to add this resolution to their tool chest when working on legislation that greatly affects the future of Alaska.
