Called for the use of the permanent fund for energy development in Southeast.

Supported state acquisition of the Haines pipeline corridor, in case the Alcan gas line proposal is approved. However, this was not an endorsement of Ihe Alcan proposal. Requested a state assessment of float plane facilities. Demanded an investigation of telephone service in Southeast; Asked for an integrated transportation plane for Southeast. Advocated the further development of port and harbor development in Southeast.

Requested that the stale Department of Transportation more actively involve communities in Ihe setting ol ferry schedules; and Endorsed a pulp mill for Juneau. By far the hottest topic of discussion at the two-day conference was the service provided by Alaska Airlines, whose recent -strike hobbled some Southeast communities. A resolution passed by the conference called on the Civil Aeronautics Board to require "minimum daily scheduled service to communities servced by only one air carrier." The resolution passed unanimously after a second resolution, which would have endorsed Western Airlies application for certification to fly to Southeast Alaska, was tabled. Backed by Juneau and Ketchikan representatives, the Western Airlines motion failed when delegates from smaller towns--led by representatives from Sitka--protested that adding service in Ketchikan and Juneau might jeopardize service to Wrangell, Petersburg and other communities.
