NEWS RELEASE
Governor William A. Egan said today the
State of Alaska is pushing for early cong
ressional action to provide funds for sur
veys and removal of obstructions to naviga
tion in “''hitestone Narrows and Sergius Nar
rows •
,?The urgent need for prompt action to
clear obstructions from these channels was
made even more self-evident by last Saturday
!s misadventure b' the M/V MATANUSKA," the
Governor declared.
By a somewhat ironic coincidence, Gover
nor Egan had written Senator E„L. Bartlett
less than 4$ hours prior to the MATANUSKA’S
striking a submerged ledge to inquire as to
the status of the request for survey funds.
In that letter, He stated:

all possible steps be taken to expedite the
proposed surbeys at Whitestone Narrows and
Sergius Narrows to the end that actual chan
nel work may be undertaken during the 1964
calendar year.”
He advised Bartlett, with whom correspon
dence on the subject has been under way
since early spring, that navigation hazards
in the two channels Mpose a continuing threat
to the operations of the vessels of the Stat
ed marine highway system as well as those
of other vessel operators *n
As examples of this, he noted that the Mi/V
GALENA, operated by the Alaska Steamship
company, struck a submerged rock in White
stone Narrows on ^gust 16, necessitating
its lay-up for epairs, One of the vessels
of the marine high-way system was delayed in
Sitka for 16 hours on a recent run, he said
, 11 when the presence of fog made foolhardy
any attempt to navigate the Serguis Narrows,
and all vessels of the system serving Sitka
are held there an extra two hours by reason
of the necessity of traversing the Narrows
only at slack water*
Governor Eganfs letter pointed out that
the net result of the desired channel impro
vements would be to greatly enhance the
