Senate Rejects Oil Drilling in Alaska Wildlife Refuge, Handing the Bush Administration a Defeat
The Associated PressWASHINGTON March 19 — The Senate on Wednesday rejected oil drilling in an Alaska wildlife refuge, handing the Bush administration a defeat on one of its top energy priorities.
Despite intense lobbying by pro-drilling senators and the White House in the hours leading up to the vote, Democrats mustered the support needed to remove a refuge drilling provision from a budget resolution expected to be approved later this week.
The vote on an amendment offered by Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., to strip away the provision passed 52-48.
