                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of Congress that BP p.l.c. should reimburse all 
  costs incurred by the Federal Government in assisting with cleanup 
  efforts in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill incident in the Gulf of 
                                Mexico.

Whereas BP p.l.c. was responsible for drilling operations of the Deepwater 
        Horizon offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico that resulted in a 
        massive and continuing oil spill;
Whereas David Kotok, chairman and chief investment officer of Cumberland 
        Advisors, estimates that the cost of the cleanup effort in response to 
        the Deepwater Horizon oil spill incident will exceed $12,000,000,000;
Whereas during fiscal years 2005 through 2009, BP p.l.c. announced profits 
        totaling $98,402,000,000;
Whereas in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, BP p.l.c. has announced a 
        profit of $5,598,000,000; and
Whereas the Exxon Mobil Corporation paid $7,000,000,000 for cleanup and damage 
        assessments for the Exxon Valdez oil spill incident, including for 
        containment booms, burning, dispersants, skimming, and hot-water and 
        high-pressure treatments: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that BP p.l.c. should reimburse all 
costs incurred by the Federal Government in assisting with cleanup 
efforts in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill incident in the Gulf of 
Mexico.
