BP ousts Tony Hayward from gulf spill oversight
BP removes Chief Executive Tony Hayward from day to day oversight of the Gulf oil spill amid Capitol Hill criticism. Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg says Hayward will hand over operations to Bob Dudley as containment progress continues and claims payments lag. Federal officials report 65 to 121.6 million gallons spilled with a goal to keep 90 percent from reaching the ocean by late June. Kenneth Feinberg says remaining claims will be paid within 30 to 60 days, while Gulf residents like Connie Bartenbach report ongoing claim delays and higher cancellations.
