Nixon Orders Effort For Alaska Pipeline
President Nixon directed full administration effort to clear the way for the 700 mile Alaska oil pipeline from the Northern Slope to Valdez. He summoned Interior Secretary Morton for a briefing to work with Congress on broadening right of way and overcoming 1920 Mineral Leasing Act limits. Morton said litigation could end in a year and the line could be built in three years, delivering 2 million barrels daily to ease the national energy crunch.
