"the only company drilling in the Gulf of Mexico today in deep water is the company that caused the spill--British Petroleum."

"This decision to halt all new energy production in the Gulf of Mexico appears to have been made in an uninformed manner and, in my view, borders on reckless."

"It is very conceivable that this action by our own Government will turn out to have more economic devastation than the spill itself."

"We believe that we can have a vibrant tourism industry."
