Budget request would come on top of $91 billion already appropriated
Updated: 2:09 p.m. ET Feb. 2, 2006 WASHINGTON - President Bush will request another $18 billion in federal relief for victims of Hurricane Katrina in his fiscal 2007 budget, sources said Thursday.
The request will include funding for federal facilities such as military bases and veterans hospitals damaged by the September storm.
Donald Powell, the coordinator for the federal government's Gulf Coast rebuilding effort, was expected to make the hurricane announcement later in the day.
Congressional staffers were being briefed on the requests. The hurricane proposal comes on top of $62 billion Congress approved last year in the wake of devastation from hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
In December, Congress dedicated $29 billion of those funds for such purposes as levee repair and construction, emergency funds to compensate homeowners whose hurricane insurance does not cover flood losses, and child care, mental health and other social services.
Congressional sources said they had not expected the request for additional funds for another week or two.
An aide to Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Democrat, said the White House might have moved up the hurricane relief after harsh criticism of President Bush's scant mention of the disaster in his State of the Union address Tuesday.
"Today I think the White House is really just trying to improve their P.R. (public relations) on Katrina," said Adam Sharp, Landrieu's spokesman.

Reserves are estimated at $180,000,00 to $300,000,000.
This type of mined product supplies the concrete manufacturing and building materials industries and is also an integral component of the road and highway construction industry, supplying the latter with a steady stream of the base materials needed to build new roads and improve old ones. In an effort to increase its output capability, MS&G has added some new contract miners to fully develop this location.
Currently, MS&G sells into the local Southern Louisiana and Mississippi areas, but is expanding its sales regionally into the greater Southeastern area of the country as construction activity increases. Now and into the future, Murphy Sand & Gravel is and will be the cornerstone of the "Phoenix Family of Companies".
# Highly Valued Products
* Management estimates that the minerals contained in the Sand & Gravel Lease have a market value of $260 million with an additional $40 million in soil products. With the proper contractors, the Company forecasts its potential mining and sales capability at between $4 to $8 million per year. According to industry reports, demand for gravel, sand and soil products is projected to remain strong for the immediately foreseeable future.
# Control of Prime Reserves
* According to industry reports, prime reserves of mineral and soil products are at a premium. Additionally, prices of mineral and soil products are projected to remain strong for the next 25 years. Based upon this information, the Company negotiated 5 consecutive 5-year lease (25 years total) on the Sand & Gravel Lease, which commenced on June 23, 1998.
# Strategic Location
* The Sand & Gravel Lease is located on a railroad line and is the closest of all existing mine sites to the I-59 and I-10 interstate highways serving New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast area. Management believes that this key location gives the Company an important competitive advantage due to the significant savings in the costs of transporting mineral and soil products to customer sites in the New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast areas. Management estimates that a contractor on a large construction project, lasting one year or more, will save a minimum of $40,000 per truck per year in fuel, maintenance and labor costs by purchasing mineral products from the Company as compared to the Company's nearest competitor.
# Expansive Stable Market for Products
* The mineral and soil products that the Company mines have a wide range of uses. These products are used in buildings, highways, foundations, levee construction, concrete, asphalt, glass, swimming pool plaster, golf courses and beach replacement. Management believes many of these product uses are recession-proof which, when coupled with their variety, will contribute to the stability of the Company's revenues.
# Strong Product Demand
* Presently, the demand for the Company's mineral and soil products is strong enough that the Company is able to sell all the mineral and soil products that it is able to mine. Additionally, the Company has over 100 customers who have indicated a willingness to purchase all additional quantities of products that the Company can make available.
# Low Operational Costs
* The Lease maintenance costs for the Sand & Gravel lease are low relative to other raw materials production facilities. Moreover, the mining industry does not require a costly, highly skilled labor force and marketing costs are minimal. Management believes these relatively low operating costs should enhance the Company's gross margins and overall profitability.
# Significant Prior Leasehold Improvements
* The Company has already made significant leasehold improvements to the Sand & Gravel Lease in the form of new roadways, power line right of ways, power installation and new mining areas. With this infrastructure investment in place, the Company believes it can more stringently and confidently focus on revenue growth.
# Growth Strategy
* The Company's near term objective is to maximize growth and profitability for its mining operations. The company's mid and long term objectives are to grow through mining contracts with regional miners. The most recent addition operating at the Murphy mine site is United Soils, Inc. from Ray, Michigan. The Company believes that it has assembled an experienced management team and established sound business relationships capable of taking it through its next stage of growth.

I saw the line-up...pretty impressive. I see ProGas's booth appears to be in between two booths of Duke Energy...a respectable $28/stock company...that looks promising. Is Pro Gas a private company, I can't find it on any searches I've done.

United Soils Inc. One of America's Largest Wholesale Top Soil Suppliers. PBLS web site states that they are now working at Murphy Sand & Gravel. That sounds like good news, and progress.

Thats about the long and the short of it shark. pbls management has updated a few things on there web site.
Acquisitions/Business Development Division
Phoenix's acquisition and development team is continually searching for suitable acquisition candidates to compliment our base businesses within our core operating divisions. Construction, as well as oil and gas related industries are prime for our review, along with other operating companies which fulfill our requirements of a fair valuation, exceptional management and the potential for above average industry average growth.
Our acquisition and business development team has recently held talks with potential candidate companies in Texas, Wyoming, Louisiana and Ohio.

I wish PBLS could get some solid contracts for the reconstruction of the Gulf Coast. I saw in the news that Pres. Bush requested another $19Billion for reconstruction costs in the Gulf Coast. I wonder if the folks at PBLS have been contracted for any of that pie?

READ,READ,PBLS updated website...the bottom.. Phoenix's oil and gas division is currently positioned to take full advantage of its niche markets in the oil and gas industry. Rome Oil and Gas Company and Mid South Resources currently own leases in Kentucky, Tennessee, Wyoming and Nevada. Drilling has commenced at several sites in Kentucky, with drilling due to commence in Wyoming and Nevada in spring or early summer of 2006. Drilling in Tennessee could commence within a couple of months as well.
The acquisition of Pro-Gas was completed December 15, 2005. Pro-Gas is a natural gas and oil marketer with revenues in excess of $190,000,000 in its last completed fiscal year.
Phoenix is currently reviewing several potential acquisition candidates to complement the operations of Rome Oil and Pro-Gas. We currently believe that the oil and gas division, through growth and acquisition, could exceed $ 1 billion dollars in revenue by the end of 2006.
