By white people I mean white people. Not Chinese. Filipinos. Mexicans. Japanese. Indians. or Esquimos. I did not see any Negroes up there. Those people that are taken to Alaska on the fishing boats that I saw are not white people or citizens of this country. They are. practically speaking. contract laborers. I do not want to criticize things in Alaska. I want to be helpful to the Alaskans. I would not have the people of Alaska feel that we are working against them in any way. but the House Appropriations Committee is the Budget Committee of our Government. It is the real watchdog of the Federal Treasury. and all of us members of that committee. especially the Interior Department subcommittee. are having a hectic time trying to justify to Congress appropriations of about $12.000.000 a year to Alaska.
