"Sen. Frank Murkowski., R-Alaska, doesn't agree with the Alaskan Federation of Natives who want to take some of their complaints to the [United Nations World Conference on Racism]. He warned the federation that these complaints would merely embarrass the United States. . .

Sen. Murkowski is right. That is embarrassing."
