Robert Menendez actually said...

"the Big Oil Bailout Prevention Act would increase the cap on economic damages resulting from an oil spill from the current $75 million to $10 billion."

"Right now, fisherman, hotel owners and other people dependent on clean water and clean shorelines for their livelihood are collectively holding their breath."

"I think it's pretty reasonable to understand that $75 million is not going to reach the amount that is going to be conducted in damages here."

"This incident appears to have been entirely preventable if internationally accepted practices were followed."
