ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Sen. Ted Stevens has pledged to oppose withdrawals of Alaska coastal waters to fishing and oil exploration by the federal government, saying that he didn't want a repeat of what has happened to Alaska's interior.
"I'm going to oppose anything that sets up a process of withdrawals off our shore that's not managed by the local people," he told a hearing of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy on Wednesday.
