What I'm saying is, hurry up and do this work properly. The federal government needs to provide proper oversight. The fact they're not doing their jobs are causing -- costing thousands of Louisianians our jobs.

What I'm saying is, take it seriously. Listen to the experts. Get it done as quickly as they can safely. Don't give me an arbitrary six-month moratorium.

I've got no problem with the pause. But what I'm saying is, listen to the experts. Don't listen to me, as the elected governor of Louisiana. Listen to the experts they, themselves, appointed.

I would certainly hope the administration would reconsider, see what the judge said. He called it an arbitrary decision, the six-month moratorium.

I don't have any problem with a pause that's based on specific actions that are taken on scientific-based changes to the drilling plan. What I have a problem with is an arbitrary six-month moratorium. What I have a problem with is a…

That means it's an irrational act to shut them down.

Bobby Jindal, the governor here, he filed a brief along with the plaintiffs, saying the moratorium basically will turn an environmental disaster into an economic catastrophe.

This is a war. And the way we win the war is throw everything we have got to keep this oil out of the wetlands.

My bottom-line message is, we're showing that it works. Let's scale this up quickly. Let's not wait. Don't wait for this oil to hit the coastline. The plans they have got are not enough.

This is exactly how we need to be fighting this oil.

There was no coordination. The command-and-control infrastructure didn't work. And that's why we're saying all along we need to intensify this effort.

We have said to BP now for days, either cut us a check or get this done yourself, either way. Either sign the contracts or get out of the way and let us do it.

This is just one. There -- there are other areas like this that have gotten this kind of heavy oil. This has been here a couple of weeks. And you have got other areas like this. What we're saying is, Louisiana has got over 7,000 miles of…

We have been frustrated with the disjointed effort to date that has too often meant too little, too late for the oil hitting our coast.

Oh, look, we have absolutely there needs to be a greater sense of urgency, whether it's getting more hard booms, skimmers, jack-up barges and resources down here, whether it's shortening the turnaround time on making decisions, whether…
