I stand today to say that I support the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Davis). This is a project that, in fact, is going to be completed by this winter, about 753 miles long. The fact of the matter is that in my district, because this comes through my district, it was controversial. FERC held public hearings at which the concerns of these interested citizens were heard. In response, Gulfstream modified the pipeline plan and now FERC is reviewing the revised plan. So I do not think there is really a legitimate reason at this time for the House to stop this process, and I think that is what this amendment actually would do and why we are here.
