I might point out that they are already drilling now within 1 mile of the district of the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Scarborough). That is not an argument. These waters are primarily the waters within 17 miles of the beaches or offshore land of the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Scarborough) that belong to and are the State of Alabama. They are directly south of Alabama and not Florida. We can argue all we want by slanting arrows to Alabama that these are areas off the gentleman from Florida's (Mr. Scarborough) beaches, but that is not factual. That is misleading. That is hypocrisy.
