What we're trying to do here is lessons learned, so that we don't repeat the mistakes of the past.
We had a failed decision-making apparatus. The Unified Command, to begin with, did not react as hard as people were working.
I think we're all saying that we should look at the Oil Pollution Act and see if there are amendments that are needed.
But the next time around we sure want a crisp, chain of command.
But, you all let BP, basically, direct a lot of the response.
I want others to have a chance.
If there's a spill there, do you know what runs right by there? It's the Gulf Stream.
I'll never forget, with all the problem we've had in the Gulf Claims Facility, of getting them to try to help out people.
So that can actually go into the emergency room or in places where you can see--when someone has a stroke.
Good morning. We are really looking forward to this hearing.
And to do that cheaply, and it saves a lot of electricity.
