	Insert WHEREAS many national groups may argue against                       
the development of the Arctic National Wildlife refuge gas reserves            
because there is no vehicle to bring the gas to market;

the current leaseholders on the North Slope to make every effort to            
promptly build a natural gas pipeline to bring Alaskas natural gas             
to market and thereby avoiding resistance by national organizations            
that the gas resources in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge would            
be stranded
