i know the ones in the beaufort were.don't know exactly what shallow's going to propose in the chuck g., be but there's not a lot of deep water, so i assume that they're shallow water. >> so far shell's done everything that's been asked of them, hasn't it, except for the epa and their review panel? >> shell has been, has donering we've asked of them, has been very cooperative with us in supplying the information that we've requested. i've got no complaints or criticisms about shell. >> just out of curiosity, sometimes to find out whether an acre has, that you've leased actually has oil in this it or not, you actually have to drill. so it would be kind of hard to say how many acres -- i mean, why would you lease something if you knew there wasn't oil town there? numbers that i have is probably one out of four acres that are leased probably show no resources there. >> i've been told as recently as yesterday that if companies pat one out of three -- bat one out of three, they're doing well. >> okay. well, i appreciate it. i

i know the ones in beaufort where.don't know exactly what show is going to propose in the chukchi but as you know there's not a lot of deep water and beaufort are chukchi so i assume they are shallow water. >> so far show has done everything to have been asked of them as for the epa in their review panel? >> shell has done everything we have asked of them, have been very cooperative with us in supplying the information that we have requested. i have had no complaints or criticisms about shell. >> just out of curiosity, sometimes to find out whether an anchor has, the lease has oil in it or not you actually have to drill? so it will would be kind of hard to say how many acres -- why would you least something if you knew there was an oil down there or something? the numbers i have is the probably one out of 4 acres that are least probably show no resources there? >> i've been told as recently as yesterday that if the company best one out of three they are doing well. >> i appreciated. i appreciate all you have done. we l

as i said the application for 2011 that's now off the table was just for the beaufort. if in fact they go forward with plans for the sheet that is another set of issues for us to address to anticipate that and help us with that we are doing a supplemental environmental impact statement that goes beyond what the court has directed us to do to look up the spill response related issues in the wake of deepwater horizon. so we agree with you that there are lots of important and significant issues that need to be addressed and we will address if we get the exploration plans filed and said they will be and applications to drill along with those plans. we will give close scrutiny and will get every aspect of the proposals. >> thank you very much. i deeply appreciate what you just said and the way you're looking into this and i think ackley what needs to be done. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> these are shallow water permits, right? >> i think they are all shallow water. i know the ones, i don't mix ackley with the are going to propose that as you know there's not a lot of dee

beaufort we hear is particularly interesting to have governors to washington and complain about the plan although they were governors with political interests, come to washington and say you are trampling on our rights. if you look at how the bill is structured the exchange plans we gave the states every right to a minister changes and even the most anti health care governor is going to say we want our state to governed the exchanges. we hear republicans complaining that there's not toward reform. there's peace in the world so she is able to come by. she does start at the top? she will be one of the people who ask me questions. the decision not to include a broader tort reform with limits on court in the federal law, something republicans bitterly complain about what they hat tipped to the idea that that is the province of state of this wasters. the idea that there is this big government takeover trumping state's rights is not the case. finally, we heard many governors complained about provisions of the law that expand medicaid eligibility between now and 2018 saying you'll bankrupt stat

of the nonwilderness sections of the arctic national wildlife refuge, along with the chukchi and beauforteas have enough recoverable oil to replace crude imports from the persian gulf for nearly 65 years. 65 years. so the problem isn't that we need to look elsewhere for energy. the problem is that democrats in washington won't let us use it. the problem is that even with gas prices on the rise, they want to tax it even more. so let's make this really simple, madam president. i'm going to propose just two concrete, practical things we can do in washington to give the american people some relief: create jobs and help make us less dependent on foreign sources of oil. two ideas that would have wide bipartisan support. let's increase american energy production, and let's block any new regulations that will drive up the production costs for energy. two ideas that will create jobs and alleviate the increasing pressure on gas prices. let's leave the ideology aside and do some practical good for americans who are struggling out there. let's increase american production of energy with american jobs
