Talk:Valdez oil terminal

What? This says it was purchased for a dollar! Oh that's weird... it was.

It was acquired by British Petroleum in 1969, from the Chugach, for $1. Some natives contend that this was an illegal transfer.

The previously quoted section has been removed from the article from the following reasons:


 * The statement is not clear as to exactly what was purchased and from whom.
 * The Trans_alaska_pipeline was not constructed until the late 1970s, so the terminal was not in existance in 1969.
 * Chugach did not exist as a corperate entity until the Alaska_Native_Claims_Settlement_Act of 1971.
 * No citation was provided, nor could any be found by a basic google search. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thester11 (talk • contribs) 01:07, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
