OK. And is BP alone in this, or are there other companies that you are working with on this particular well in the Gulf of Mexico that are stepping up to help?

Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

So in your State government, are you the one who is responsible for coordinating, or is it the State Police through the oil spill coordinator?

Does BP have an estimate of how much oil is actually in the Gulf, how much oil is on the surface of the Gulf or underneath as a result of this spill?

And do you know how much oil and how much water that is?

So if you do not have a tax return, we will take a payroll stub.

It sounds like, though, with millions of gallons out in the Gulf, I mean, it sounds like a lot of vessels, but it also sounds like you are only getting a small percentage of the oil. Is that fair to say?

The goal is to get money into the hands of the folks that need it the most as quickly as we possibly can.

As I understand it, in Louisiana you have something we do not have in Arkansas. You have an oil spill coordinator's office.

Thank you for that very touching testimony.

Because of the resiliency, the fortitude, and the battle experiences of our people, Louisiana will recover from yet another catastrophic disaster.

So as long as they can justify their out-of-pocket losses, you pay 100 cents on the dollar?
