The Senate narrowly defeated an effort to open up the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling by approving an amendment offered by
Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) to strip the proposal from a budget bill.
Concerns that drilling would harm polar bears, caribou and their calves,
and millions of migratory birds won the day in a 52-48 vote for the Boxer
amendment.
