So if this Congress does not pass that kind of legislation would your constituents be unhappy, Ms. Randolph?

We can just go across, would you support legislation that raised the safety standards in the United States to those of the other countries in the world which were mentioned in the BP Commission?

Why do people have to die at four times the rate?

I am saying the highest standards, not the lowest.

Do you think the United States should have safety standards as high as the rest of the world?

Even though you are not familiar with the safety recommendations of the BP Commission, you are ready to say that it is safe and people should go out there.

it is much more dangerous to do this in the United States than it is to do it in Europe for the same companies.

I do not think, sir, that oil companies are sending the rigs back just to idle. I do not think they are sending new rigs in just to idle.

The Obama Administration is not issuing new leases. In fact, the lease sales that were scheduled for this year have in fact been canceled.

Does that include implementing the safety recommendations of the BP Commission?

Given your job don't you think you should have looked at those safety record recommendations?
