THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 2002 Republicans in the Senate are hoping to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling but Democrats say they would filibuster such a proposal. Sen. Mark Dayton (D-Minn.) said a filibuster is extreme but warranted in this situation. The senators from Minnesota and North Dakota oppose ANWR drilling. Sen. Frank Murkowski (R-Alaska) is seeking to add an amendment to the energy bill under debate to allow development. Get the Story:
