On the recordApril 11, 2003
I respectfully disagree. We know the level of supplies out there. These areas have all been previously inventoried. There is no doubt as to the supply, or in the case of the waters right off the coast of Florida, I would say the lack of supply. And so this is not about fear of the unknown. What this is about is whether to proceed with predrilling activity. This is about whether to proceed with going out into the Gulf of Mexico and other parts of the country and moving the dirt around and taking all the steps that would be taken towards proceeding with drilling. I think because it is the will of the House not to proceed with drilling in violation of the moratorium, there is a much-appreciated consensus today in support of the amendment.
