but i am veryim, happy he is with me today.i want to thank you for inviting me to appear before the committee. i have learned a lot in these 7 1/2 weeks on the job. i've been to many places, many of your states and so why wanted to organize my thoughts and/or if you write categories. i want to start with energy on shore. on-sure the projection is that it's ice protection in over a decade. it continues to increase and i am very happy to provide with statistics that are different from the comments that you just referenced in terms of oil production. i looked at the reforms that the blm has put in place. they changed them in 2010. we have had the lowest numbers of protests of sales in 10 years, so we are making progress there. the team is working hard on reducing the time for permitting and approval of new projects. i will be facilitated through automation, and sequestration has enacted that, but we are committed to getting that done. i want to reference the hydraulic fracking rule we released just short while ago time.he 30-day,
