In the interest of sharing information showing this is not a recent change of border, I found this document while searching on the subject.

It follows the lines as described in the 1867. This was written by the Department of State in 1965.

International Boundary Study
U.S. – Russia Convention Line of 1867
http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/limitsinseas/ibs014.pdf

It give the connecting line of following points as the Western Boundary.

72° 00’.0 N, 168° 58’ 22”.587 W
65° 30’.0 N, 168° 58’ 22”.587 W
64° 12’.3 N, 172° 00’ W
53° 45’.0 N 170° 16’.0 W
50° 36’.4 N 167° 00’ E

193° meridian coincides with 167° East Longitude.

This was written decades ago. It is not a secret conspiracy involving President Bush or Obama.

Well, I hope you're proud of yourself.

You and your stinkin' facts have ruined another perfectly good conspiracy theory.
