U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employees in Alaska are not being allowed to express their own views on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Employees can give facts about the refuge but can't offer perspectives on impact without first consulting their public affairs office. Alaska regional director Dave Allen issued the directive last week in an effort to make sure a consistent and up-to-date message is given to the public.
