If you have not received a reply from your previous correspondence with the U.S. State Department, we encourage you to follow-up with them as well as Alaska’s Congressional Delegation and Governor Walker’s office, as a means to keep up the pressure and subsequently elevate this issue to the federal level. 

Write a Follow Up Letter: Here is a sample you may use.

On [X date], [Your Entity Name] submitted a resolution to the United States Department of State, calling for an International Joint Commission referral regarding the issue of transboundary mining in the shared headwaters of rivers that flow from Northwestern British Columbia into Southeast Alaska.

The State of Alaska and the U.S. Federal governments have not elevated this issue – on behalf of [Your Entity Name] - I request an update regarding the status of our call for action.

Sincerely,
[Your Name
