James T. Callahan: “The issue is the pipeline, and the issue is what is going to be put in the pipeline. The gentleman from Florida has…”

On the recordJune 28, 2001
The issue is the pipeline, and the issue is what is going to be put in the pipeline. The gentleman from Florida has already said that they already have pipelines going into Florida; they want to build more pipelines because they need more natural gas. Now since we are not going to be able to drill in this particular section of the gulf, there is not going to be any more natural gas. So why build a pipeline when the gentleman's own newspapers in Florida are telling him that it could be devastating to his own environment? And therein comes my want to protect the beautiful beaches of Florida and especially the beautiful beaches of the Tampa Bay area.
