Treasury, please understand the impatience of the Senators on this panel who have been responsible in passing this Act.
It is hard to believe that it has been 4 years since a disaster of major proportions.
Thank you again for the work you did to provide the Gulf Coast with a real silver lining after a terrible environmental and economic tragedy...
we want to get on with it. And it has been 2 years.
It is hard to believe that it has been four years since the worst man-made environmental disaster in our Nation's history.
We remain committed to addressing the devastating impacts of the BP oil spill.
The RESTORE Act is absolutely critical.
We need the administration to finalize the Treasury rules.
To use a Gulf Coast metaphor, we have essentially been handed an oyster. However, at this particular time we have no tool to open the shell.
I hope the Treasury Department listens to this testimony.
I would also like to thank Senator Wicker and his staff for their continued perseverance in restoration of the Mississippi Gulf.
