Dear Mr. President,
The tribal government; Augoon Community Association, would first like to extend their sincere
congratulations on your accomplishment of being the President of our beloved country. This is a huge step
forvard for the United States.
Enclosed is a resolution of the tribal government in support of the efforts of our village corporation, formed
under ANSCA.
The community believes that there are several ways to address the economic crisis that is before us. One of
the avenues is to reduce the high cost of energy. Our resolution is requesting direction to secure funding for a
project that has been "shovel ready" since the passage of ANMCA.
The stimulus plan, is the avenue for the immediate funding of this import.-tnt community project .which can
develop into an economic boost for this one great State of Alaska.
To die great future of you and your cabinet.
