Egan Wili Confer With
Congressional Delegates
On a Variety of Items
JUNEAU (#) — Gov. Egan said
today he will have a round of
conferences with federal officials
and the State’s Congressional
delegation on a variety of sub
jects in the next few days.
Egan leaves tomorrow for
Washington, D. C. and plans to
take part in Inauguration cere
monies for President-elect Ken
nedy. He plans to return to the
state Jan. 21 or 22. Kennedy is
inaugurated Jan. 20.
He said he will confer with
Sens. E. L. Bartlett and Ernest
Gruening and Rep. Ralph Rivers
of Alaska on the State’s Employ
ment Security problems, possible
Congressional action on the pro
posed Rampart Canyon and Snet
tisham Hydroelectric projects and
on the possibility of a subsidy of
some kind for domestic gold.
Egan said last week there was
a possobility Congress might set
up a federal program of grants
for states with unusual unemploy
ment problems, such as Alaska,
with its great season employment
problem.
He said such a federal grant
program might open the door for
federal forgiveness of the $8,765,
000 Alaska owes the United States
for unemployment security funds
lent the state by the federal gov
ernment.
Egan said a proposal by Rivers
that the U. S. Treasury pay a
premium price of $70 a fine ounce
for newly mined domestic gold
was an interesting proposal.
Rivers proposes that the Treas
ury charge $70 a fine ounce for
gold going into domestic indus
trial, professional and artistic use.
“Rep. Rivers has come up with
something which might be work
able,” Egan said.
