Read the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items III,
IV, V.
ANC Reform: Alaska Natives Battle for Change
(1) They gathered in an office building behind closed doors, a dozen executives of
Alaska native corporations (ANCs) considering how to proceed in the face of threats
to a government program that had given them a shortcut to billions in income from
federal contracts. For years, the leaders of ANCs had maintained a united front of
support for the ANC program, despite news accounts and audits that turned up
allegations of abuses.
(2) In August 2009, just weeks after an especially critical congressional hearing，
officials from three of the ANCs proposed a major break in the long-held habit of
keeping native problems to themselves. They wanted the group to acknowledge the
problems and adopt radical reforms. The room went silent when the officials announced
their key proposal: a cap on contracts that would end their ability to get deals
of any size without competition.
(3) “The reaction was surprisingly muted，” said a person who was there that day
who spoke on the condition of
because of the nature of the meeting. “It
was obvious there was discomfort, but no one raised their voices or pounded the
table.”
(4) One of the reformers, Tara Sweeney, a vice president at Arctic Slope based in
Barrow, said in a recent interview that advocating a position with implied criticism
anonymity
reiterated
of Alaska natives was “not an easy path to take.” But she said that she and others
could not stand by and do nothing. “We need to do the right thing，” she said.
(5) Executives at Doyon Limited and Cook Inlet Region Inc. joined those at Arctic
Slope in calling for fundamental changes in the program, which has opened the way
for $29 billion to Alaska native corporations over the past decade, most of it through
set-aside deals or contracts awarded without competition.
(6) In a proposal handed over to the Small Business Administration (SBA) last month,
the three companies called for better tracking and reporting of benefits to Alaska
native shareholders and their communities. They
their call for limits
on the size of contracts awarded without competition, requiring additional
justification for contracts of more than $100 million. They called for new limits
on how ANC subsidiaries could operate and for better enforcement “of program rules
to ensure the integrity” of small-business contracting.
(7) “Our proposed reforms will improve the program by increasing accountability,
decreasing the potential for abuse while continuing to encourage the growth of
sustainable businesses that raise the standard of living for Alaska native people，”
the three reformers said in a letter to the SBA.
(8)
In the Alaska native community, the proposals are a source of intense, debate.
(9) Sarah Lukin, executive director of the Native American Contractors Association;
said the ANC program as it currently is benefits Alaska natives and taxpayers. She
said the three reformers, who are not members of her association, “can afford to
do business” without the set-aside program
because of their natural resources and real estate holdings.
(10) Lukin said critics have taken ANC problems out of context, ignoring the fact
that the same issues, such as the use of contracts without competition, are
widespread across the government. “The scrutiny on ANCs is
disproportionate，”
she said.
(11) An unlikely set of allies has joined the reformers.
(12) In an interview, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, one of the most adamant ANC boosters,
applauded the idea of more transparency and accountability. “In order to continue
the good for which this program was intended, we have to pursue the reforms that
allow for appropriate oversight，” she said. “I have defended this program, but
I do not defend the program unconditionally.”
(13) Sen. Claire McCaskill, chairman of a contracting oversight subcommittee that
held the ANC hearing last year, said the contracting privileges ought to be rescinded
altogether. “ If you really understand what is going on with Alaska native
corporations, your heart breaks for the many poor natives who are suffering
still.
They’re being used,” she said. “Two groups of people are getting screwed
by the program. Many Alaska natives who are not getting their fair share, and the
American taxpayers.”
(14)
She suggested that the government make direct payments to the native
shareholders. “I would much prefer that the American government help Alaska natives
directly than through ridiculously over-priced, noncompete government contracts，”
she said.
(15) Sheri Buretta, chairman of the board of the Chugach Corp., said that the
government needs to keep giving ANCs room to improve and grow. “There’s no doubt
in my mind there are abuses.” Until now, native executives have been afraid to speak
up because of fears “it will be used against us. We’re trying as hard as we can，”
she said. “It’s an evolutionary process.”
