The gentleman had done well until he, in the words of my grandmother, ``stepped on the cutout'' when he talked about the eastern Gulf. I just offer BP as an example of what happens. If he were to come and go down that coastline with me and see the businesses that went out of business, including all of those in the fishes industry, oysters, the whole coastline has been impacted. We are still suffering the residual. And I might add, on the floor of the eastern Gulf of Mexico, they call it snow something that is on the floor. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the gentleman's position, but I will be the last man standing on not having oil drilling off the coast of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 1300
