On the recordMay 13, 2010
Mr. President, in view of the fierce urgency of now, there is harm already being levied upon these communities, commercial fishermen, tourism, and others, and because $75 million is less than 1 day of BP profits, I ask unanimous consent that the Environment and Public Works Committee be discharged from further consideration of S. 3305, the Big Oil Bailout Prevention Liability Act of 2010, and that the Senate proceed to its consideration; that the bill be read three times, passed, and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Senator from Alaska.
