- Letter from Mark White to William P. Clements, December 17, 1979
- Description
- Letter from Mark White to William P. Clements regarding government response to future oil spills based on the experience with Ixtoc I. The letter proposes an expanded regulatory framework for oil spill responses to increase response rate and improve cleanup technology. The letter from Clements' rival has political undertones as well. Because the spill came from a SEDCO-owned rig, Ixtoc was already politically uncomfortable for Clements. By taking a high profile stand on the issue, Mark White kept the spill in the news while emphasizing Clements' personal association with the disaster.
