“I thank the Chair. Mr. President, I believe the McConnell legislation, which has three components--one aimed at restoring American offshore production in the wake of the moratorium that has been imposed, a safety component aimed at preventing future incidents like the Deepwater Horizon, and an efficiency component aimed at streamlining the issuing of permits--is the right way to go.
