Readout of Secretary Napolitano's Visit to Cold Bay and Kodiak, Alaska
08/07/2012 07:00 AM EDT

For Immediate Release
DHS Press Office
Contact: 202-282-8010

COLD BAY, Alaska—Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Robert Papp, Jr. today traveled to Cold Bay, Alaska where they joined a Congressional Delegation led by Senators Mary Landrieu, Mark Begich and Lisa Murkowski to visit Coast Guard assets in the region, including the Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf. Yesterday, Secretary Napolitano and Admiral Papp visited the Coast Guard Air Station in Kodiak, Alaska and met with the men and women stationed in Kodiak who contribute to the Department’s efforts to ensure Arctic maritime safety, security, and stewardship.

“The Coast Guard’s mission in Alaska is becoming all the more important given the growing shipping and commercial interest in the Arctic,” said Secretary Napolitano. “As activity in the region increases, we will continue to work closely with state, local, tribal and private partners to secure our waters and enhance our capability to respond to any threats or disasters.”

The Coast Guard is the nation’s lead federal agency for ensuring maritime safety and security, and has a long history of working with Alaska Native partners who reside in the Arctic. In the Alaska and the Arctic region, the Coast Guard is responsible for securing more than 42,000 miles of coastline; conducting search and rescue missions that save hundreds of lives; and working with state, local, tribal, federal, international, and private sector partners to keep arctic waterways open and safe.

Tomorrow, Secretary Napolitano, Admiral Papp and the Congressional Delegation will participate in roundtable meetings in Anchorage with oil industry representatives and tribal leaders.

Baucus says Indian Health Service has 'serious' problems, needs more money
By Sam Baker - 08/08/12 02:43 PM ET

Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said Wednesday that the healthcare system for Native Americans is plagued by "serious" problems, including a severe shortage of doctors.

Baucus, the chairman of the powerful Finance Committee, addressed the issue at a Native American hospital in his home state. He said many problems demand better systems and more money.

He also cited more specific problems, saying the hospital where he made his remarks had refused to provide rape kits to some female patients.

Baucus noted that President Obama's healthcare law, the Affordable Care Act, permanently reauthorized the Indian Health Services Act, through which the federal government provides healthcare coverage to many Native Americans. Baucus called the permanent reauthorization "a big win for tribal healthcare."

He also noted that Obama has requested a significant budget increase for the Indian Health Service, but said the service is suffering from a doctor shortage as high as 20 percent.

"Our goal is to begin a new era of providing not only affordable healthcare, but quality healthcare," Baucus said. "Healthcare that can change the vicious cycles American Indians suffer daily."

USDA Announces Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers

WASHINGTON, August 8, 2012 - Agriculture Secretary Vilsack today announced the award of 70 grants to tribes, educational institutions and non-profit organizations across the country to conduct training, outreach and technical assistance for socially disadvantaged farmers, ranchers, and landowners. The awards are being made through the Outreach Assistance to Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers (OASDFR) Competitive Grants Program, known as the "2501 program."

"USDA continues working to help improve the success of minority farmers and ranchers in today's agricultural economy," said Vilsack. "These grants provide crucial assistance to help institutions who are helping American producers build capacity and increase profitability, and thereby create stronger rural communities. "

As authorized in the 2008 Farm Bill, the grants awarded today will bring $19 million in new and additional funding to programs and organizations to bolster assistance for socially disadvantaged farmers, ranchers and forest landowners. Grants will enable recipients to work with prospective farmers as they acquire, build and operate farms and ranches, revitalize the rural economy, and create new, sustainable economic opportunities in the region and nation.

Recipients include new awardees and qualifying programs and organizations that have previously benefited from Department assistance.
