From Rep. Mike Conaway's (R-TX) blog:
Conaway comments on removal of ANWR provision from the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005
The leadership pulled the ANWR provision out of the Deficit Reduction Act as part of a strategy to get the bill passed to go to conference. The provisions are still in the Senate version. There is good hope that we will get ANWR included in the conference report. The House conferees will be pushing to put the provision back into the final package. If we don’t get it included, the oil is not going anywhere and we will continue to work to remove regulations on drilling in ANWR and the Outer Continental Shelf. I have no doubt that we will at some point in the future drill in ANWR.
