I don't totally disagree with the comments of the gentleman from Texas earlier.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 51, after line 21, insert the following: SEC. __. SOUTH ATLANTIC OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF PLANNING AREA…

I want to thank the gentleman from Virginia for the time and for his leadership on this issue. Madam Chairman, I am wearing a Clemson Tiger Paw and an orange tie today in support of Clemson University, but I will tell you that the…

I thank the gentleman from Washington for his leadership on this. Madam Chairman, the folks in Florida were concerned, but guess what? This area stops at the Florida-Georgia line. They can deal with their own waters. These are the waters…
