GOP to include ANWR drilling in budget measure
Wednesday, March 9, 2005
Senate Republicans are unveiling a new tactic in their bid to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, to development.
Drilling will be authorized in a budget resolution being offered today. Since the resolution only requires approval by a majority of senators, Republicans say they have enough votes.
Inupiat Eskimos who own land and subsurface rights in ANWR support drilling. The Gwich'in Nation, which depends on caribou in the refuge, opposes development.
