It includes the prized Teshekpuk Lake region

The "Reserve" they are avoiding to name is the NPRA.
National Petroleum Reserve, Alaska.
I guess I shouldn't laugh, they played this game with ANWR and won so far.
The only reason ANWR was enlarged to its current massive size, is the coastal plain was set aside for petroleum exploration. After the bill passed, they ignored the petroleum part.
Now they are trying to do the same with NRPA, claiming it as a wildlife reserve, rather than the Petroleum Reserve for which it was set aside. It was originally for Navy Fuel, named Naval Petroleum Reserve Number 4. The name later changed to it's present name in 1976.
Teshekpuk Lake is in the Northeast, right under R-23 on the map below:
