Three environment groups asked a federal district court to block proposed right of way permits for the trans-Alaska oil pipeline arguing rights of way exceed the secretary of the interior's permit powers. Secretary Morton announced the decision after two years of review to issue permits, but a 1970 injunction by Judge Hart remains in effect as the groups seek a summary judgment on part of their injunction request.
