Today, Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) sent a letter to every member of the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate regarding America’s energy crisis and a solution to that crisis – allowing oil production on the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).

Recently Senator Stevens received a letter from retired Senator, Judge James Buckley (D – N.Y.b ), formerly an opponent of oil exploration in ANWR. Judge Buckley now supports exploration in ANWR, and Senator Stevens shares that in his letter.

The letters from Senator Stevens and Judge Buckley are attached.

Tears for the poor Caribou if they start drilling. Not!

Since when was James Buckley a Dimocrat ("D. N.Y."). He's the brother of William F. Buckley and was elected to the Senate on New York's Conservative ticket, a miracle and not easily forgotten.

Buckley stated in his letter that he was a lead signatory in full-page ads opposing oil exploration in ANWR. Thos ads appeared in the New York Times and Washington Post. And this was back when many people considered these trustworthy news agencies.
