Acknowledgements

We wish to acknowledge the many individuals and organizations, government officials

and agencies alike that offered their views and insights to the Commission. We would

especially like to express our gratitude to the Coast Guard’s Incident Specific Preparedness

Review (ISPR) for allowing Commission staff to participate in its interviews and

discussions, which was invaluable to the preparation of this report. (A copy of the Coast

Guard’s ISPR report can be found at the Commission’s website at www.oilspillcommission.

gov). We would also like to thank Chevron for performing the cement tests that proved so

critical to our investigation into the Macondo well blowout.

We also thank the Department of Energy, which served as our supporting agency, and

all of the Department employees whose assistance was so essential to the success and

functioning of the Commission. In particular, we would like to thank Christopher Smith,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Oil and Natural Gas, who acted as the Commission’s

Designated Federal Officer, as well as Elena Melchert, Petroleum Engineer in the Office of Oil

and Gas Resource Conservation, who served as the Committee Manager.

But most importantly, we are deeply grateful to the citizens of the Gulf who shared their

personal experiences as Commissioners traveled in the region, providing a critical human

dimension to the disaster and to our undertaking, as well as the many people who testified

at the Commission’s hearings, provided public comments, and submitted statements to

our website. Together, these contributions greatly informed our work and led to a better

report. Thank you one and all.
