Mahmoud? - Americans, Europeans, Israelis, diplomats, reporters,

Alaska: Governor
Proclaims Good reason for renewed optimism - Alaska Governor
Frank H. Murkowski delivered his third State of the State address
to a joint session of the Legislature on Wednesday, saying that
Alaska is strong and growing stronger.
An anticipated state budget
surplus, national elections that brought brighter prospects for
opening ANWR to development and significant progress by the administration
toward gas pipeline agreement, there is renewed optimism across
the state, Murkowski said.
"I have never been more
excited about what the future holds for Alaska or more firm in
my resolve to create an atmosphere in which Alaskans can fulfill
their tremendous potential and achieve their dreams," Murkowski
said. - More...
