Forgotten Resolution of Remembrance of Big Oil Spill
A search for legislation dealing with threats from oil spills leads to H. CON. RES. 32, one of the saddest little resolutions of the 111th Congress.
On January 28th this year, Representative Lois Capps introduced the resolution, which urged “that the 40th anniversary of the oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, should be remembered as an ecological and economic disaster”. The resolution got 4 cosponsors, and then, it was forgotten. It was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources, and then abandoned.
You’ll have to search around for a while to find the text of the resolution, because the Government Printing Office forgot to print it.
