Brady Welcomes "Long Overdue" End of the Deepwater Drilling Moratorium
Press Release
Issues: Oil and Gas
Congressman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) issued the following statement following the Obama Administration's decision to end the deepwater drilling moratorium.
"This is welcome, but long overdue, and we'll see if they're just lifting the moratorium in name only or in practice. If they do as they do in the shallow waters -- where there's no permits -- our energy workers aren't going to be getting back on the job anytime soon."
Congressman Brady will be meeting with Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement Director Michael Bromwich next week on the new rules for drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
