Section 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.
