quite specific in his support Sharp said in an interview the agency has been making its preparations on the basis that the pipeline will be built Mondays statement served to underscore the com mitment

to ensure the successful completion of the pipeline The giant $14billion project would carry Alaskan natural gas through Canada to the lower 48 states Construction already is two years behind schedule
