Read the following passage carefully andcomplete the succeeding three items III, IV, V.
ANC Reform: Alaska NativesBattle for Change
(1) Theygathered in an office building behind closed doors, a dozen executives ofAlaska native corporations (ANCs) considering how to proceed in the face ofthreats to a government program that had given them a shortcut to billions inincome from federal contracts. For years, the leaders of ANCs had maintained aunited front of support for the ANC program, despite news accounts and auditsthat turned up allegations of abuses.
(2) In August, just weeks after an especially critical congressional hearing，officials from three of the ANCs proposed amajor 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 oncontracts that would end their ability to get deals of any size withoutcompetition.
(3) “The reaction was surprisingly muted，” said a person who was there that day whospoke on the condition of anonymity because of the nature of the meeting.“It was obvious there wasdiscomfort, but no one raised their voices or pounded the table.”
(4) Oneof the reformers, Tara Sweeney, a vice president at Arctic Slope based inBarrow, said in a recent interview that advocating a position with implied criticismof Alaska natives was “not an easy path to take.” But she said that she andothers 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 ArcticSlope in calling for fundamental changes in the program, which has opened theway for $29 billion to Alaska native corporations over the past decade, most ofit through set-aside deals or contracts awarded without competition.
(6) In aproposal handed over to the Small Business Administration (SBA) last month, thethree companies called for better tracking and reporting of benefits to Alaskanative shareholders and their communities. They reiterated their callfor limits on the size of contracts awarded without competition, requiringadditional justification for contracts of more than $100 million. They calledfor new limits on how ANC subsidiaries could operate and for better enforcement“of program rules to ensure the integrity” of small-business contracting.
(7) “Ourproposed reforms will improve the program by increasing accountability, decreasingthe potential for abuse while continuing to encourage the growth of sustainablebusinesses that raise the standard of living for Alaska native people，” the three reformers said in a letter to the SBA.
(8) Inthe Alaska native community, the proposals are a source of intense, debate.
(9) SarahLukin, executive director of the Native American Contractors Association; said theANC program as it currently is benefits Alaska natives and taxpayers. She saidthe three reformers, who are not members of her association, “can afford to do business” without the set-aside program
becauseof their natural resources and real estate holdings.
(10)Lukin said critics have taken ANC problems out of context, ignoring the fact thatthe same issues, such as the use of contracts without competition, are widespreadacross the government. “The scrutiny on ANCs is disproportionate，” she said.
(11) An unlikely set of allies has joined thereformers.
(12) In an interview, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, oneof the most adamant ANC boosters, applauded the idea of more transparency andaccountability. “In order to continue the good forwhich this program was intended, we have to pursue the reforms that allow forappropriate oversight，”she said. “I have defended this program, butI do not defend the program unconditionally.”
(13) Sen. Claire McCaskill, chairman of acontracting oversight subcommittee that held the ANC hearing last year, saidthe contracting privileges ought to be rescinded altogether. “If you reallyunderstand what is going on with Alaska native corporations, your heart breaksfor the many poor natives who are suffering still. They’re being used,” shesaid. “Two groups of people are gettingscrewed by the program. Many Alaska natives who are not getting their fairshare, and the American taxpayers.”
(14) She suggested that the governmentmake direct payments to the native shareholders. “I would much prefer thatthe American government help Alaska natives directly than through ridiculouslyover-priced, noncompete government contracts，”she said.
(15) Sheri Buretta, chairman of the board ofthe Chugach Corp., said that the government needs to keep giving ANCs room toimprove and grow. “There’s no doubt in my mind there are abuses.” Until now, native executives have beenafraid to speak up because of fears “it will be used against us. We’re tryingas hard as we can，” she said. “It’s an evolutionary process.”
