Coast Guard Base and Air
Station Proposed for Alaska
Legislation, to authorize facil
ities for the Coast Guard “in the
interest of national defense and
the performance of its maritime
police functions,” which would
provide authority for the Secre
tary of the Treasury “to estab
lish, equip, and maintain a Coast
Guard base and air station on the
coast of Alaska in such locality
as the Commandant of the Coast
Guard may recommend,” was con
sidered and approved by the
House Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries recently.
Secretary of the Treasury Mor
genthau in a communication sent
the Speaker of the House said:
“The need for a Coast Guard
air station in Alaska for the per
formance of Coast Guard peace
time duties is urgent. The ex
tensive and important seal and
fisheries resources of the Govern
ment in Alaskan waters, involv
ing both the necessity of ade
quate protection and law enforce
ment, which was so forcibly em
phasized by recent encroach
ments upon our salmon fishery,
makes it practically imperative
that the Coast Guard have air
facilities along the Alaskan coast
for the patrol of these waters and
otherwise performing Coast
Guard duties in which aviation
has proven essential in recent
years. The Coast Guard must
maintain a cutter of the latest
type in Alaskan waters for the
wide range of duties which it per
forms in the interest of marine
commerce, fisheries, and the wel
fair of the inhabitants of Alaska,
and in cooperation with other
branches of the Givsrnment. It
is proposed that the cutter base
will he established in conjunction
with the air station at a location
deemed most advantageous to
serve the interests of the Coast
Guard and of national defense.
; It is estimated that the base aw
| air station will cost $2,733,000.”
Read Admiral Russel R. Wa-es
| che, Commandant of the Coas
Guard, told the Committee tha
it was planned to establish tfo
base and air station, adjacent t<
the naval air base planned fo
K diak.
