On the recordJune 27, 2013
I'll just close by saying--and I'm not sure I understand the logic of my friend on the other side of the aisle--apparently, this is going to increase our Federal revenue by $1.5 billion. But more importantly, it generates dollars for the State of Louisiana to preserve these, the homes of these families. This allows revenue that has been from our Outer Continental Shelf to come back to preserve this coastline, these families, and these businesses to remain in existence. And that's what this is really about, equity, increased revenue for the Federal Government, and families in Louisiana being able to preserve their existence. I urge support for our amendment. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment, as modified, offered by the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Cassidy). =========================== NOTE =========================== June 27, 2013, on page H4126, the following appeared: by the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. SCALISE). The online version should be corrected to read: by the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. CASSIDY). ========================= END NOTE ========================= The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
