In reclaiming my time, let me say right off that I am very, very proud to be part of a Congress that instantly reacts to a crisis situation. Mr. Oberstar should be commended for that reaction. That is what we are asking for the entire government to do. Let's react positively. Let's work as a team. Let's quit blaming previous administrations. Let's do the job to clean this mess up. I thank you very much. My good friend from Texas lives in the heart of All Country USA. Houston, Texas, is, to my way of thinking, the center of the universe for the oil industry, and my good friend Pete Olson is one of the members of our Houston delegation who is very knowledgeable in this area. He has some legislation, and there may be other things that he wishes to talk about, so I yield to my friend Pete Olson, the Member from Sugar Land and all points south, to talk to us about how he feels about what is going on today.
