there will be a transition plan that i will submit to secretary the paula taino -- secretary napolitano. a couple of thoughts as we stand here on the 20th of august, four months into this event. this is the largest oil spill in u.s. history. it has been problematic from the start in terms of its scope and the problems we have faced. there has never been a large monolithic spell. each day when the oil came to the surface, it was under different wind and current conditions. some of it went ease, some of it went north and south. that required us to establish a resource scheme that stretched hundreds of miles. it required us to increase our skimming and booming capabilities over this amount of time. earlier in this response, we could rely on about 200 skimmers available in the area that were available for use. this morning, we have 835 on the water. there has been a significant mobilization of natural resources, including emergency mobilization allowed us to move resources from other parts of the country. i do not think we should discount the fact that this is the largest public participati
