The New York Times > Washington > Senate Votes to Allow Drilling in Arctic Reserve: "President Bush's long-stalled plan to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling cleared a major hurdle on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, when the Senate voted to include the proposal in its budget, a maneuver that smoothes the way for Congress to approve drilling later this year.
By a vote of 51 to 49, Republicans defeated an effort by Democrats to eliminate the drilling language from the budget."
