Reclaiming my time, in wrapping this up, there's a lot of things that the Republicans--we get accused of an awful lot of things around here. We're going to ignore those accusations. Mr. Blunt has a bill. The Oil Spill Response and Assistance Act, by Mr. Roy Blunt from Missouri, H.R. 5336, requires the Secretary of Energy to develop and deploy technology for the use in the event of breach or explosion at or at a significant discharge of oil from a deepwater port, offshore facility, or tank vessel, including caps, fireproof booms, remote-operated submersibles, 24-hour response time, double liability limits for oil companies. Mr. Blunt is addressing the issue. Mr. Schock has an Offshore Safety and Response. We have legislation. Let's do our job. And let's continue. Let's end that moratorium and continue to drill. And be safe. ____________________
