One of the issues that I do not want to lose sight of in this discussion today is the importance of safety in both deepwater and shallow water drilling.
I want to especially focus, as I did earlier in my remarks, on a program near and dear to my heart, the Early Detection Hearing and Intervention Act, to reauthorize this important program.
I strongly oppose H.R. 1157. I urge you not to advance this bill, and I yield back the remainder of my time.
When you have an accident, when there is a spill, the issue comes to the forefront, people respond, and then, in a few years, complacency tends to return.
