The BP Oil Spill Recovery Effort: The Legacy of Choices Made by the Obama Administration

House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
Abstract
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform investigated the federal response to the Gulf Oil Spill. The purpose was to examine the efficiency, adequacy, and accuracy of the response and the consequences it had on the people of the Gulf Coast. The committee found in part that the Trust Fund established for victims was inefficient, that the Obama administration ignored critical input after the spill, and that post-oil spill drilling regulations need to be amended.
