number 444, I incorrectly voted ``aye'' when I had intended to vote 
``nay.''
  I strongly support the administration's implementation of the Well 
Control Rule, which was developed in the wake of the disastrous 
Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I would also like to 
state that I continue to advocate for adequate protection of our 
offshore natural resources and the conservation of our marine 
environment.
