Thad Allen's briefing concluded a little while ago.

***********************************EXCERPT on Where is the Oil???***********************************

Jane Luchenko (sp?) from NOAA was asked about where all the oil was. She indicated that she thought it was suspended in the water column and was not settling on the bottom, but in response to another question she stated that NOAA was diligently looking for the oil and they "were getting close" to discovering it (not really sure how she would know this?) and would hopefully have an answer soon.

Sounds like some (former) Heads of Exploration I have known...

Like looking for a teaspoon of tea in Lake Tahoe.

The gulf is not a static body of water. Could she have the faintest idea how much water circulates through the Gulf Stream in a day?
