Senator Cochran cosigned a letter sent to the Bush administration by Senators Ted Stevens and Lisa Murkowski on August 1.  The letter urged the federal government to explore the potential oil reserves contained in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).  It requested that President Bush issue an executive order requiring the U.S. Geological Survey to conduct a seismic survey of ANWR’s coastal plain.
