             CHAPTER 15C--ALASKA NATURAL GAS TRANSPORTATION
 
Sec. 719a. Congressional statement of purpose

    The purpose of this chapter is to provide the means for making a 
sound decision as to the selection of a transportation system for 
delivery of Alaska natural gas to the contiguous States for construction 
and initial operation by providing for the participation of the 
President and the Congress in the selection process, and, if such a 
system is approved under this chapter, to expedite its construction and 
initial operation by (1) limiting the jurisdiction of the courts to 
review the actions of Federal officers or agencies taken pursuant to the 
direction and authority of this chapter, and (2) permitting the 
limitation of administrative procedures and effecting the limitation of 
judicial procedures related to such actions. To accomplish this purpose 
it is the intent of the Congress to exercise its constitutional powers 
to the fullest extent in the authorizations and directions herein made, 
and particularly with respect to the limitation of judicial review of 
actions of Federal officers or agencies taken pursuant thereto.
