this is an estimate by the researchers at the university of south florida, some of the best in the worldhis is where the oil will go in only five days from now. look where is going to pay eight days from now. -- where it is going to be eight days from now. it has come all the way and is just off of -- passed this key, past key west, and it is coming up in the gulf. and look where it is in 10 days, mr. chairman. in 10 days, but coldstream here -- the gulfstream hug the coast of florida within a mile of the beach. and it is coming right on up and it will continue north of west palm, brought about fort pierce, fla., about 10 miles offshore, and then the gulf stream continues up toward the eastern seaboard all the way to cape hatteras, north carolina, and then goes across the atlantic to scotland. mr. chairman, this is what we are looking at. it is my worst nightmare -- apparently becoming reality. >> thank you, senator nelson. >> thank you very much. two points and a brief statement. i was told three minutes. i guess that will be a warning. you must have been flying for a long time. you thi

possible, if you talk to some oceanographers that this oil or some sort of sheen could wind up in south floridan some parts of off of north carolina. how realistic do you think that is? >> well, i'll leave that up to the scientists, but what i will tell you is one of the first bills i introduced when i got to the senate was called the conservation and reinvestment act. that recognized that offshore drilling is not only an immediate threat to the states in which it is off the shore because texas and louisiana have the most experience with this, but i suggested that other coastal states, whether they drill or not, should use some of these resources to support their coastal activities, to make sure their coastal economies and their economies are strong. we came very close to passing that bill. and i'm going to file it again. because it is very important for the states of louisiana, mississippi and texas to share in the government -- the taxes that are paid to the federal government. none of those taxes come to the state of louisiana, mississippi or alabama for that matter. and none of them go to t

this current comes around, comes south of florida and up the eastern sea board. as you look at the bigger picture of the atlantic ocean, here it comes up along the eastern sea board into the gulf stream and a lot of folks are worried about that now, that that oil gets pushed southward into the loop current and comes right along the eastern sea board. i think over the next three or four days the winds will be relatively light, but i'm very concerned this a strong front gets into the gulf this weekend and tries to shove this even further south into the loop current. by the way the hurricane season is lurking and this water profile you see right now if we go back to this picture, what will happen is the gulf will get warmer than normal, warmer than normal up along the eastern sea board, we have a big hurricane season coming and i won't be surprised if this oil slick has something to do with the hurricane season if that we'll have to watch for storms coming up into it and then the implications from that. who knows. >> joe, show me that graphic again. i don't understa

i rise in solidarity with a wonderful and determined south florida woman, millie munoz. millie has dystonia a little-known movement disorder that causes a person's muscles to contract and spasm involuntarily. the trademark of this is repetitive, patterned and uncontrollable movements. since childhood, millie went from doctor to doctor and told -- was told there was no real problem. finally in the summer of 2006, she was diagnosed with generalized dystonia. shortly thereafter she went from climbing the great pyramid to being in a wheelchair and bed-bound. luckily, in 2008, she had deep brain stimulation surgery which provided some relief. today, millie has a feeding tube and braces on her legs. and she is as resilient and determined as ever. together, we must raise awareness on this disorder and support the research that can find a cure for this silent internal storm. thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania rise? mr. thompson: mr. speaker, request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to re

meetings with many of the manufacturers in palm beach and broward counties in florida, as well as the south florida manufacturing association, i've been told that while m.e.p. services are very helpful for some businesses, they often have greater expertise in developing business solutions for medium to large sized businesses. small manufacturers such as uniweld which is in fort lauderdale, a family-owned business which has been run by a world war ii veteran and his sons, make up a large sector of the manufacturing firms in florida and they're critical to our competitiveness. in these challenging times, small manufacturers in my home state have faced many obstacles, financing being one of them. but many of the support services by the m.e.p.'s can truly make a difference to our small manufacturers as well. while basic research investment is important to advancing our nation's innovation infrastructure, we must build and support a strong manufacturing -- manufacturing base in the united states which will bridge the gap between research and commercial development of new technologies. that's where this
