It has been brought to my attention that the letter did not expressly address the continuing role of the American Petroleum Institute (API) as the administrator and contracting entity for the Study. We remain anxious to continue work on the Study and look forward to making progress in this area. In that regard, we understand API will be in contact with the appropriate parties.
