I want to ask my colleague a couple other questions. Farmers are exempted if they store less than 1,320 gallons of oil aboveground or less than 42,000 gallons underground. That is the rule. Is my colleague aware of that?

I need to say here, please, colleagues, this is not any kind of an extension of time. This says: No funds made available under this Act shall be used to implement or enforce with respect to any farm. . . . And it goes through the Spill…

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Elections have consequences.

We have to make sure that the sea is restored.

It is, I call it Plan C, Calamity.

I appreciate the commitment she has already made to consider exceptions that would allow non-Federal sponsors to proceed with work ahead of the Corps, if it will improve public safety or provide other benefits.

I want to thank so many people for waiting a long time.
