It has been brought to my attention that the letter could be misleading, as it did not acknowledge the continuing role of the American Petroleum Institute (API) as the administrator and contracting entity for the Study. We continue to look forward to progressing this important study. In that regard, the Oversight Committee is working with API to initiate the appropriate communication early this week. My apologies for any confusion this may cause.

It has been brought to my attention that the letter may be unintentionally misleading and possibly misconstrued because it did not expressly address the continuing role of American Petroleum Institute (API) as the administrator and contracting entity for the Study. My letter of February 23rd was not intended to conveyor even imply any funding commitment by the BHRC to any party other than API. The BHRC has no authority to either speak for or make any commitment on behalf of API. We remain anxious to continue work on the Study and look forward to making progress in this area. In that regard, I understand API will be in contact with the appropriate parties.
