mr. landry. the chair: the gentleman from louisiana is recognized for two minutes. mr. landry: thaur, mr. chairman. i do, i live on the coast, i represent most of coastal louisiana. and what i wonder is where were my colleagues in 2008? i was not in this body, they were they worried about my shrimpers in 2008 almost every shrimp boat from venice was at the dock. why? because they had run diesel to just about $5 a gallon. you see, it takes energy for those shrimpers to grow g out there on the gulf of mexico -- go out there on the gulf of mexico. they worry about the tourism in florida? there are already multiple articles in the paper that say that high gas prices are killing tourism in florida. this is a responsibility bill. you see, they want to punish those who make a profit while they give taxpayer money to those who fail, who are too big to fail, they punish the companies who make profits in this country while they give our money to those who fail to make a profit. it amazes me because what really matters here, what really creates jobs not only in my district but in e

mr. landry. mr. landry: i would like to point out to my colleague, that one of my colleagues from louisiana, the gentleman from louisiana, mr. scalise, h r. 56, puts into law a portion of that report and since he is so interested in making sure that some of the information in the president's report becomes law, i certainly hope he will co-sponsor that legislation. i'm sure those in the gulf would appreciate that piece. i didn't know he was an expert in oil and gas drilling. you know. because when i go back home and talk to those in louisiana they tell me they've already instituted safety guidelines above and beyond what the gentleman from massachusetts puts forth here. the industry is safer today than it was the day before the deepwater accident. in addition to that, we have the ability to cap the type of incident that happened in the gulf, today. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. markey: i inchoir how many minutes are remaining on both sides and who has the right to concl
