“Well said. One of the comments that was made to us was really how there have been a few people that have made it as far north as Anchorage, Alaska, but no one has taken the time to go all the way up to the arctic circle in the northernmost point of Alaska, the northernmost point of the United States of America, and hold a field hearing in a small Eskimo village. These people, the Inupiat Eskimos, they are a very proud and strong people, and they are tired of telling Americans, telling politicians in Washington, telling eastern environmentalists what they want, only to have Congress not do their will. We are dealing with native American lands where they cannot even drill their own oil to sustain themselves. They cannot even go after it. We stop them. We need to open up these lands. My colleague knows the issue well. It is well said.”
