"The intent of this report was to improve the safety of oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico, not shut it down."

"This moratorium will exacerbate, rather than alleviate, the impacts of this spill upon Louisiana's economy and the environment."

"Nobody is suggesting these consumption numbers are going to go down any time soon."

"The report does not justify the moratorium as written. The moratorium as changed will not contribute measurably to increased safety and will have an immediate and long-term economic effect."
