Mr. Chair, I rise in support of the DelBene amendment and in defense of Oregon's coast. The Oregon coastline is a wonder of nature and a critical piece of Oregon's economy. We love our coastal playground. We respect our coastal communities. And that is why we must fight to protect them--not as Democrats or Republicans, but as Oregonians who cherish our environment and our people. Oregon led with the first-ever ``Bottle Bill'' to reduce litter on the beaches. Oregon led when it made its coastline free and open to the public. Now we must lead the fight against offshore drilling, which threatens our coastline, the people who call it home, and fisheries and families who depend on it for their livelihoods, and our environment. Offshore drilling is a mistake, and it will only exacerbate our energy and environmental crisis down the road. We must say ``no'' by voting ``yes'' on this amendment. Ms. DelBENE. Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support the Pacific Northwest and support this amendment. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
