>> it is not really a bp request.the complexity of this bill, if they have either any expertise or actual assets, in addition to the other things that are being employed, that would be usable either, a, to flood the lake, stop the leak, speed up the repair of the leak, or insist -- assist that a minimal amount of oil reaches the shoreline. that is being done at the operational level today, working with the coast guard, the department of the interior, epa, noaa, the other federal agencies that have been involved since the day of this spill. and if and when they have something to add, we will certainly make that known. >> you don't know whether they have assets that would be useful at this point? >> not right now. >> that was something the president authorized last night at an internal briefing. >> the frame of reference that most people have on this is the exxon valdez, 11 million gallons. i have seen estimates this could be well over 4 million gallons. could this turn into a catastrophe approaching that level? >> i th

i'd like today to update you with the latest information about the bp oil spill, the steps bp is taking to minimize the environmental and other risks of this incident. last night bp alerted us to additional oil leaking from their deep underwater well. they are working, with our support, to estimate the size of this breach. as has just been mentioned, the president has urged, out of an abundance of caution and mindful of new and evolving information, that we must position resources to continue to confront this spill. that being said, we have been anticipating and planning, and today i will be designating that this is a spill of national significance. what that means is that we can now draw down assets from across the country, other coastal areas, by way of example, that we will have a centralized communications because the spill is now crossing different regions. in addition to the command center that we have operational in robert, louisiana, we are opening a second command center in mobile, alabama, for the bp spill. as was mentioned, as well as part of our oversight of the response, i

>> yes, this is doug suttles from bp.om -- since this event began, all we have monitored -- once we discovered the oil was flowing into the seabed, we could monitor with remote-operated vehicle cameras. which done that. the amount of flow looks essentially the same. we cannot meter that flow. as events unfolded, we can monitor what is on the surface of the sea. as the event started, ourselves with the rest of the unified command, our best estimate of the time was 1,000 barrels a day. as we gather more data come from satellite images and from over flight data, we revised that number to 5,000 barrels a day. we did not indicate a change in the mouth of flow. it indicated a change in the estimate of the flow rate. this is highly and precise. highly and precise. as the admiral said indicated, there is a change in the flow rate. we are prepared for that in the eventuality the rate is higher. >> next question please. >> [unintelligible] >> hi. there has been talk this morning about how this could affect oil production. is that e

are they bp's figures? >> i would caution you not to get fixated on an estimate of how much is out there. the most important thing is that we started corralling resources for always -- for a worst-case scenario from day one. we have solicited the help of the whole of government and the private sector to approach this response. >> so you are confident in those figures supplied about the barrels per day? >> this is doug suttles. since the beginning of the sinking of the transition -- transocean, we could monitor with remote operated vehicle cameras. we have been monitoring the amount of flow. we cannot meter that flow. as the events unfold, we can monitor what is on the surface of the sea. we have a unified command, including noaa scientists. our best estimate was 1,000 barrels a day at first. as we began to gather more data, we revised that number to 5,000 barrels a day. that did not indicate a change in the amount of flow. it indicated a change in the estimate of the flow rate. this is highly in precise. --

we will be sending a bill to bp at some point. but it's our belief that not only the federal government, but, for example, those fixed- state monitors that are now being asked to step up and do more air monitoring or potentially water monitoring, that work is best done -- it's inherently governmental, but bp should pay for it. >> you said that bp is responsible for ultimately footing the bill, but have there been any initial cost estimates that have been -- >> for -- the initial cost estimate for bp? >> yes -- >> just total. >> i would direct that to bp. >> robert, i have an additional question for deputy secretary hayes. could you elaborate at all on the meeting later today and who from industry will be here -- whether secretary salazar will be back in time? will bp be having a representative at that meeting? >> secretary salazar will be back. he'll be hosting the meeting. there will be others from this stage at that meeting as well. we have invited all of the major players in industry that do deepwater drilling and production to

do you think bp has acted responsibly in all of this? >> well, by law, bp is what is you will cad the responsible party. and it's our job to ensure that they act responsibly. they have been doing that but everybody needs to understand there is immense pressure put on them by the coast guard and entire federal government to hold up their end of this bargain. and we continue to do that. now the real issue is, what happened, and what is the cause of that. and several days ago secretary napolitano and secretary salazar signed a convening order for mineral management services and the coast guard to take apart this event from what happened on the bottom win which is minerals management purview and the coast guard who is responsible for the floating assets above. and really develop a set of facts so we can know really what happened. because the source of this entire event happened as a part of the failure of the preventer to-- blowout prevent tore perform and we need to understand how that happened. >> but to go to the ongoing problem of contai

bp the owner of the sunken rig is constructing a dome that would be lowered to cover the well head and bring the oil to the surface so it can be collected. that's never been tried this deep. if neither of those work, bp will drill a relief well near the original one, use it to pump mud and rocks into the old well until it stops leaking. that could take months. it could also take its toll on the ecosystem and its seafood industry. tonight all anyone here can do is hope that those robotic arms working 5,000 feet down can stop the leak. ryan owens, abc news, over the gulf of mexico. >>> we turn now to the topic of main streets, wall street and financial reform. with a new poll tonight showing strong public support for more government control on the way wall street does business. nearly two-thirds said they are in favor, a number which has held steady since last winter. object that topic, high drama is coming to capitol hill, a kind of duel with the most loved, most hated and envied company on wall street, goldman sachs. today shareholders filed suit over the recent charges against the fir

we went in to that facility, we found a number of violations, we asked bp to -- bp huskie to abate those. when we went into the followup, we abated those but went to the other part of the facility, because these are very large refineries and found they hadn't made changes, the same changes that we required in one part, they hadn't made them in the other part, they just ignored that, so we issued more than $2 million fine against bp huskie for exactly that problem, so we are extremely concerned about oil refineries and the possible catastrophic events associated with them, so we're going back in to them hand seeing what we can do. >> you nope the refinery was cited for 17 serious safety violations in april 2009, so this is a big concern and i want to followup with several other questions, but i want today ask you before my time is up. you have explained under current law, osha cannot develop a pattern of violations or cite an employer of repeat violations if that employer has employees in multiple states. right? so if the original violation occurs in one of these 21 state plan states, tha
