Markey: On 6 Month Anniversary of Spill, New BP Chief Still Hasn't Agreed to Date With Congress
Bob Dudley Asked to Congress to Answer Questions About BP's Future
October 19, 2010 - The six month anniversary of BP's is tomorrow, but the company's new CEO, Bob Dudley, still has not agreed to attend a hearing and answer questions from Congress about the spill and BP's future efforts to clean up the mess and prevent future incidents. Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), chair of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee in the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has sent requests to Mr. Dudley, including proposed dates.
"Six months ago, BP's Macondo well began its months-long eruption into the Gulf of Mexico. Now that Mr. Dudley has taken the reins of BP, he can at least dedicate a few hours to answering questions about his company's efforts to clean up the Gulf region and prevent future incidents," said Rep. Markey. "This is a somber anniversary, and one that should remind the American people that the work to restore the Gulf is far from over."
