Re: BP OIL SPILL !!!
Not suspending or repealing the "Jones Act" is a strawman argument................
The Jones Act allows the operation of foreign "oil spill response vessels" in U.S. waters without a waiver (Title 46 United States Code 55113).
While the Jones Act prohibits foreign vessels from transporting merchandise between points in the U.S., foreign vessels are allowed to operate in U.S. waters and can conduct a variety of operations without a waiver. As of June 30, there were at least 24 foreign vessels working in cleanup efforts (without any Jones Act waivers having been requested or required).
