This Senator will not vote for anything unless there is some recognition of the platform that our State, you know, serves for this industry

If we don't start issuing permits more quickly for new drilling, if we don't start exploring in areas that really deserve to be explored, this is not going to be reversed.
May 16, 2011
It is quite alarming that, to date, not one single new deepwater well permit for drilling in the Gulf has been issued.

There is a tremendous amount of money, Mr. Chairman, being invested by companies. There is oil and gas in the ground.

The Lease Act fairly restores time lost as a result of the offshore moratoria by extending the impacted leases by 1 year.

I want to associate myself with the remarks of Senator Hutchison. I am proud to cosponsor the Lease Act with her.

It used to be, basically, you submitted your permit and within 30 or 60 days, you got a yes or a no.
May 16, 2011
By passing this legislation, we will ensure that all moratorium-impacted leases are extended.

I helped to lead the effort to privatize the Army housing, which has been really successful with the family housing.

I think we're about complete. If you all would just be patient, one more question from me, then we're going to end the meeting.

I'm so glad you mentioned that, Admiral. Because I was recently down in Guatemala on a trip focused on another issue, but took the opportunity to get a security briefing by our Embassy, and this is exactly what they were talking about.

I'm concerned about the increased reliance by these major drug dealers to basically build their own submarines.

Getting the right intelligence before they leave the ports or intercepting them well before they get into our ports is a smart strategy.

We just can't stop drugs at the border, along the Southwest Border. They're coming through maritime channels, ship channels, oceans, and bayous.

When will you have that report to us? Do you think it will be 30 or 60 days in time for us to consider it in this budget cycle?

Coast Guard policy requires an incident-specific preparedness review to assess lessons learned from major oil spills.
May 9, 2011
I think, the majority of the Members of the Senate--maybe not everyone, but the majority--to get deepwater drilling back up and operational in the Gulf of Mexico as soon as possible.
May 9, 2011
The Coast Guard saves 13 lives, responds to 65 search and rescue cases, provides a presence in all major ports...
May 9, 2011
Thank you, Admiral. And again, thank you for your testimony today, for your forthrightness, for asking for what you really need.

We had to change the paradigm. And this private housing has been phenomenally successful.
May 4, 2011
I don't know how to do this, but if we could do 3 minutes each and reserve at least 15 minutes for closure. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Time has been consumed during this debate. The Senator from New York.
