"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congress is moving toward a Christmas week showdown that could end a quarter-century fight over whether to exploit the nation's largest untapped reservoir of oil beneath the frozen tundra of an Alaska wildlife preserve.
With a critical vote scheduled for Wednesday in the Senate, drilling proponents argued that the oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would reduce U.S. reliance on imports and increase national security. Opponents feared development would harm an environmental treasure teeming with wildlife."
