If I may ask the Senator from New Jersey a question, can the Senator believe once we got up the live feed, 5,000 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, that once experts, specialists, professors, were able to see what, in fact, had been told to us was only 1,000 barrels a day, was revised to 5,000; that many experts in the country revised upwards, that it may be up as much as ten times as much as 5,000 barrels a day? Would the Senator acknowledge that those statements have been made?
