Congressman Landry To Drill The Oil Spill Commission Wed.
WASHINGTON, DC – Wednesday, the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources will receive testimony from the Honorable William Reilly and the Honorable Bob Graham regarding the President‘s Oil Spill Commission’s Final Report. As a respected member of this Committee, Congressman Jeff Landry (Republican, New Iberia), who represents the district most impacted by the BP Oil Spill, will be in attendance and pressing for answers from the Commissioners.
Congressman Landry will focus upon the Commission’s ability to assign blame on the entire drilling industry for one incident, the Commission’s failure to consider the industry’s self-imposed safety improvements since the spill, the Commission’s recommendations for more bureaucracy, and the Commission’s call for more bureaucratic red tape and over-regulation in order to halt drilling permits.
