My thanks to @RepKendraHorn for her vote in support of H.R. 205, which makes permanent the current moratorium on offshore oil drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, east of the Military Mission Line. #ProtectOurCoast
Thank you for your kind words @RepRooney. Offshore drilling is a bipartisan issue, not just a coastal one. The votes we took today show what we can accomplish when working across the aisle, and onshore oil producers like those in Oklahoma will benefit greatly in the long term.
