First of all, while I don't like to admit it, I don't read the Wall Street Journal, so I don't know what it said. I have not read that. Senator Rockefeller would have to respond to his questions.

By any estimate I am aware of, the pipeline would create probably at least 300 percent more jobs than the ANWR project.
