by Dalee Sambo 

 Executive Director 



Thank you for the opportunity to make this submission to the Senate Select 

 Committee on Intelligence. We are encouraged by the Committee's interest in 

 Arctic and sub-Arctic environmental matters and concerns, as well as the 

 attention of the Central Intelligence Agency towards issues such as nuclear and 

 industrial waste dumping in Arctic waters. The United States and the world 

 coaununity are beginning to realize the need for a comprehensive approach to the 

 inter-related problems of environmental pollution and human health concerns. The 

 International Union for Circumpolar Health (lUCH) has had a long-standing 

 interest in this aspect of environmental conditions and we would like to share 

 some of our work with you. 



In regard to the topic of discussion at this hearing, we would like to 

 describe the history, structure and work of the lUCH and address the services 

 that the lUCH, as a long-standing international health organization, can provide 

 to the various U.S. agencies and organs concerning themselves with Arctic 

 matters .
