Harwood praised Walsh for his

vhich made this meeting possible
ind regretted that it was necessary
"or Walsh to have to go to ex
:remes to get the attention of the
Dept, of Defense.
Attention was called to the fact
hat in the case of a real alert

enough to handle the traffic that
Aould result. A recent occurrence
.vas cited when Fairbanks, Galena
md Anchorage were socked in and
)nly the Nome field was open.
Attention was also called to the
'act that too often visiting govern
uental heads are given a VIP tour
.vhich includes Anchorage and
Fairbanks, sometimes the capital,
jut Northwestern Alaska is omitted
md as a result few of the eastern
eaders get to see the unique prob
em of defense that exists.

Maurice Kelliher, District Magi
trate, stated that even the mili
ary personnel stationed on the
mall sites in the area consider
hemselves expendable and unpro
ected.
Howard Crinklaw expressed the
iced of military support due to
he fact that this was the trans
cortational hub of a very large
segment of the state.
The people may be expendable
but the vast mineral wealth must
be protected, as strategic minerals
found here would be needed by
our country.
Don Hoover and Les Bronson
spoke on defense in connection
with Civil Defense, stating that
communities here were instructed
to prepare for invasion but were
not offered anything in the way of
support from the Dept, of Defense.
Since this area is withdrawn
:rom defense, connecting roads to
>ther population/ centers was as
nuch a military need as civilian
>ne it was pointed out, and mili
ary funds and thinking should be
coordinated in the road planning
