This summer. the field parties for both the U.S. and Canadian sections of the IBC will be surveying the land boundary in Southeast Alaska (710 miles). The main goal of this project is to update the boundary positions to the currently used coordinate reference system. as well as identify and mark the boundary points the original surveys were unable to physically occupy. The work of the IBC is fundamentally important to our national interest. to law enforcementland administration. customs and immigration. and to the management of the transboundary resources. The last 100 years of work of the IBC exemplifies the close and enduring CanadaU.S. relationship. Madam Speaker. and my fellow members. join me in celebrating the centennial of the International Boundary Commission.
