Wildlife Refuge

Approved By Senate Panel

The Senate Energy & Natural Re- sources Committee recently ap- proved legislation which would per- mit oil and gas leasing in Alaska's

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

The measure is seen as an important step toward opening of the region's coastal plain to energy exploration and development. Oil production in the area could provide a meaningful amount of work for the U.S.-flag tanker fleet.
