Are there daily traffic reports submitted from each claims office?

Thanks. A few months ago I had asked you for some detailed information broken down in metrics on claims paid out, as well as claims rejected.

A federal judge in North Carolina has rejected a request by former presidential candidate John Edwards to have his criminal indictment tossed out.

The complaints that we are getting still seem to be some coming from, for example, some shrimpers that have processing facilities, some that just brought on more people right in advance of the Macondo Well explosion and have since had some…

I will continue to work with you because there are a few specific shrimp processors who I know have filed formal--not a complaint--they filed formal paperwork with the GCCF and haven't gotten any answer yet.

We filed legislation just a few weeks ago that would dedicate at least 80 percent of the fines BP will have to pay under Clean Water Act to allow us to restore specific environmental and economic damage.

Let's repeal this failed program. Let's move forward and come up with responsible policies and move the ball forward in health care.

You wonder why the price of gas has more than doubled at the pump since Barack Obama has been president, it's because of his failed policies.

If already, I think as Deutch said, it is on the chopping block because of the fiscal strain Medicaid is playing.

It is hard to get the American people an honest answer.

My constituents are becoming increasingly angry that the President is making all the laws and all the legislation and creating all the rules.

I want to revisit this question of constitutionality that the Chairman brought up.

Chair Sutley, you made the comment, and I want to get clarification to be sure, that nothing in this would restrict activity in the oceans.

Is it good stewardship to, in essence, create a refuge and then ignore it?

We are going out at a time when we are running deficits of $1.5 trillion plus.

I thank Chairman Fleming, Ranking Member Sablan, and the members of the Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans and Insular Affairs for their time and consideration of this non-controversial legislation.

It has been cosponsored by 46 Members of the House, including myself.
