ADVISORY/House Approves Alaska Drilling.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2001 TOPIC: The House of Representatives voted by a slim margin Wednesday to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to oil drilling, according to a story by USA Today. Proponents of the bill, which passed 223-206, reportedly claimed the drilling would create hundreds of thousands of jobs while impacting 2,000-acres of the 1.5 million acre refuge. The ultimate fate of the drilling is unknown, as the Senate is not expected to vote on the provision until later this year, the story said. Still, some in the story called the House vote a victory for the Bush administration, which supported the bill.
