Bob Graham: “Just as said the need for additional environmental studies in the Arctic should not be used as a de facto moratorium.”

I believe that we should be wise enough to manage what we have left in a manner that will stretch those dates.

The fact that we are approaching this limit underscores the need for Congress to act on this issue.

Our hope is that Congress would take the steps necessary to continue funding any remaining clean-up activities and ensure that victims are compensated even if the payout limit is reached.

If you did a case study of agency capture, I believe that the MMS would be a good place to start.
