§ 719. Congressional findings
The Congress finds and declares that—
(1) a natural gas supply shortage exists in
the contiguous States of the United States;
(2) large reserves of natural gas in the State
of Alaska could help significantly to alleviate
this supply shortage;
(3) the expeditious construction of a viable
natural gas transportation system for delivery
of Alaska natural gas to United States mar-
kets is in the national interest; and
(4) the determinations whether to authorize
a transportation system for delivery of Alaska
natural gas to the contiguous States and, if so,
which system to select, involve questions of
the utmost importance respecting national en-
ergy policy, international relations, national
security, and economic and environmental im-
pact, and therefore should appropriately be ad-
dressed by the Congress and the President in
addition to those Federal officers and agencies
assigned functions under law pertaining to the
selection, construction, and initial operation
of such a system.
