we had a great opportunity to go up and visit the people of Kaktovik this past week because I wanted to see the differences in the fairy tales that I have heard since I have been here in the United States Congress. And today I want to highlight some of those fairy tales that we have heard today. We have heard about the Mona Lisa, that the Mona Lisa has a mustache. We have seen maps that have 28 airports on them. We have seen people hold up newspapers that compare the newspaper to the size of Alaska. We have talked about lakes disappearing because of ice roads. And now the biggest fairy tale of all is that we have an amendment offered by people, by Members of this body who have never been to this region, this beautiful region in the United States. The energy bill that I will vote for tonight is a bill that is an environmentally sound policy that put in preservation 18,998,000 acres.
