Script: Iris Cross, BP Community Outreach: "When BP made a commitment to the Gulf, we knew it would take time but we were determined to see it through. Today, while our work continues, I want to update you on the progress. BP has set aside $20 billion to fund economic and environmental recovery. We're paying for all spill-related clean-up costs. And we've established a $500 million fund so independent scientists can study the Gulf's wildlife and environment for 10 years. Thousands of environmental samples from across the Gulf have been analyzed by independent labs under the direction of the U.S. Coast Guard. I'm glad to report all beaches and waters are open for everyone to enjoy. And the economy is showing progress with many areas on the Gulf Coast having their best tourism seasons in years. I was born here. I'm still here and so is BP. We're committed to the Gulf, for everyone who loves it and everyone who calls it home. Follow our progress on Facebook.com/BPAmerica."
