AK SJR15

Urges federal agencies to terminate employees who are insubordinate or fail to follow the law, citing the Cole Memorandum on marijuana enforcement as an example of unlawful guidance issued without Congressional action or proper administrative procedures.

Directs criticism at the Cole Memorandum issued by Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole on August 29, 2013, which provided guidance to federal prosecutors to deprioritize marijuana enforcement despite federal prohibition remaining law.

Urges the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture to review U.S. Forest Service actions and inactions regarding the Tongass National Forest, claiming the agency has failed to meet timber demand required by the Tongass Timber Reform Act of 1990 and the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960.

Alleges the U.S. Forest Service has adopted management plans allowing only 267,000,000 board feet of timber harvest annually instead of meeting demand, resulting in mill closures and job losses in Alaska.

Calls on the federal government to discontinue actions or inactions that disregard the law and to grant Alaska statutory easements on the Tongass National Forest as authorized by Congress.
