markey: i yield two minutes to the gentleman from virginia, mr. moran. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. moran: we know our constituents are paying too much at the pump. but we also know where that money is going. almost $30 billion just in the last three months went to the top three oil companies, exxon, shell, and b.p. remember b.p.? over $7 billion just this quarter. and in fact that's after the american taxpayer, which we say we're so concerned about, shelled out $5 billion in subsidies to the oil and gas company. that's revenue of about $100 billion on an annual basis, more than that. that's where the money is going. and within that profit, not revenue, profit we're talking about, what do they do with it? 90% of it is for stock buy pbacks and dividends to enrich the executives and the shareholders. and to spend on tv advertising to convince the american public they're spending on just the opposite. 10%. 10% is going for drilling. now what this legislation would do is to bring us back to a period of even weaker regulation th

[laughter] clearly. so i don't know that whether that year, i got the pulitzer prize and they took it away from me, or i didn't get it. so since i got three later, i think i have 3 1/2.

of virginia, judge michael urbanski. i would like, as i did yesterday, to express my appreciation to the leadership here in the senate of both parties for scheduling these important confirmation votes. filling existing vacancies on our court is important to virginia, it is important to america, and particularly in these cases where the nominees are noncontroversial to either party and, thus, are able to be brought forward here for reasonably quick confirmations. one of the bedrock principles in this scun access to justice and it can clearly be said that vacancies on our courts create backlogs, bottlenecks, and delays and justice delayed is obviously justice denied. so, again, i would like to express my appreciation to the leadership for moving these two very highly qualified nominees -- arenda wright allen, who was confirmed yesterday, and judge michael urbanski who will shortly be voted on. i am proud of the work that we've been able to do from my office during my time here in the senate in finding dedicated, well-quali
