ACTON ALERT ON OFFSHORE DRILLING AND EXPLORATION

Support Amendments to Block Funding for Oil Exploration and Drilling in Atlantic

South Carolina Congressmen Mark Sanford and Jim Rice are two of several bipartisan co-sponsors of amendments in the U.S. House that would not allow federal funding in 2019 for oil exploration and drilling in the Atlantic and Straits of Florida. Some of these amendments could see votes taken this coming week. The other co-sponsors are Representatives Gaetz, F. Rooney, LoBiondo, Katko, Posey, Beyer and Hastings.

Congressman Sanford has offered similar amendments in the past, but this time momentum is building for the effort to protect our Atlantic Coast tourism, commercial fishing and recreation economies.
