I appreciate it. Just if you do find that, it may generate some other questions for you.

With the talk of opening up ANWR Section 1002 for development, and more development in the NPR-A, some say that developing into these areas will harm the environment and the animals. I disagree.

Our input was solicited on NPR-A and ANWR but Obama-era Interior officials consistently acted against our position.
The Obama administration followed policies and procedures in soliciting ASRC's and the North Slope communities' input prior to both plans.

The oil and gas industry in Alaska serves as a source of employment, revenue, and affordable energy for local communities.
Alaska's North Slope contains some of the Nation's most abundant resources of oil and natural gas.
Today, the Subcommittee will examine opportunities to promote oil and gas development in the state of Alaska.
