BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mrs. LUMMIS. Mr. Chairman, Americans want the spill cleaned up, BP to pay for it, jobs to be restored, and the Federal Government to do a better job of inspecting for worker safety and environmental safety. To my colleagues in the majority party, we agree. Take ``yes'' for an answer.
But what does this bill do? It raises taxes, it removes the BLM land managers from doing land management and over the objection of the Director of the Bureau of Land Management. Only Congress would view this bill as a response to what Americans want.
No wonder Congress has an approval rating of 11 percent. This is nuts, Mr. Chairman. This is nuts.
