Thank you, everybody, for appearing at the natural resources committee today.
I have a question for Barbara specifically. As I've said at committee before, I worked in the oil and gas industry when I was a young guy, about 19 years of age. Since then the industry has changed quite dramatically, although it was safe even at that particular moment. I think 1985 was when I entered the industry.
I saw a dramatic shift from what I considered to be already safe to extremely safe. We had safety officers who would go around regularly to monitor and make sure practices were done the way they were supposed to be done. I saw a dramatic shift.
What can you say to speak to that, you know, from the days of the Ocean Ranger and that? Have you seen a considerable shift in safety since then?
