The chapter says approval would permit construction of a 211-mile roadway on the south side of the Brooks Range, and that it should proceed under the Secretary's authority in the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act and on the basis of the project's final environmental impact statement. It describes Alaska as having vast untapped mineral potential.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
