Alaska lawmakers have honored a senator from Hawaii for his support of their state. Legislative leaders thanked Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, this week in Washington, D.C. They cited Inouye's support of oil development in Alaska, the state's military and missile defense system, and his approval of reparations for Aleuts who, along with Japanese-Americans, were interred in camps during World War II.
The Alaska lawmakers, led by Senate President Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, and House Speaker Mike Chenault, R-Nikiski, presented Inouye with an Alaska state flag flown over the Capitol in Juneau on Jan. 3, the 50th anniversary of Alaska statehood.
Also present were Republican Reps. John Harris of Valdez and Bill Stoltze of Chugiak, sponsors of a measure which proclaimed Inouye's 85th birthday on Sept. 7 as Sen. Daniel Inouye Day in Alaska.
