Exxon urged not to pull out of Alaskan spill cleanup early
President Bush cautioned Exxon not to leave the Valdez cleanup prematurely while pledging continued U.S. oversight. Exxon told Congress it will not shut down efforts before winter but offered no unequivocal plan to deploy mop-up crews next spring. Exxon chief Stevens defended the memo as misunderstood but refused to commit to all Coast Guard requests, promising a early 1990 shoreline reinspection to ensure environmental protection after the March 24 spill of 10.9 million gallons.
