Billions of barrels of oil reserves are buried under the stark landscape of Alaska's North Slope. The problem is how to get this treasure to market. The best way, oilmen argue, is to pipe the crude across the breadth of Alaska to the southern port of Valdez, then tanker it to Seattle and Los Angeles. To date, oil companies have spent $300 million on engineering surveys, tanker contracts and special steel pipes. Yet the Federal Government has steadfastly refused to issue a permit to build the 789-mile-long pipeline across public land...
...Alaskan line cannot be built until Congress decides how to settle the ancient claims of the state's natives to public lands along the pipe route. While the Alaskan line would cross four active earthquake zones-posing the danger of breaks and consequent ecological damage-Canada's pipeline would follow the relatively flat MacKenzie River valley along most of its 1,700-mile route.

Jackson also had a long-range reason for backing away from Nixon's seductive offers: he has an eye cocked on the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination. His vision is not wholly the pipe dream it may appear. The Democrats are acutely interested in big winners, and Jackson is surely that. Only 58, he has served 30 years in Congress, 18 of them in the Senate. In the last election, Washington, clearly a two-party state, returned him to Capitol Hill with a staggering 83.9% of the vote. As chairman of the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, he has gained...
