I do not believe we should ratify this treaty." Also distressing was the decision of Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd to delay his personal decision on the treaty until after Senate hearings. While having lunch with Carter at the White House, Byrd told the President that he had "an uphill road to travel for ratification."

That could cause financial problems for the state of Alaska; it has been counting on taxes from the pipeline, which are determined by the amount of oil actually moved, to finance 60% of its $1 billion current budget...
Despite the weaknesses in sociobiological doctrine that required these concessions, opponents have been slow to mount a scientifically based counterattack. A major reason for the delay: few critics feel competent to cut across all the disciplines involved, from ethology and mathematics to anthropology and game theory. But a more sophisticated opposition is beginning to take root in the academic community...
