Excerpt from article by Catherine Clifford: Costner said he spent "well over a million dollars" over the past month pushing his technology before BP signed on……In an emotional plea, Costner said he would recommend, demand and beg policymakers and the oil industry to keep the freeze on new U.S. offshore deepwater drilling in place until viable catastrophe plans are in place. "Before you lift the moratorium, before you do that, please have clean-up technology in place, or at least on the way in a specific time, that is designed to meet and match with full force the worst-case scenario that can be presented to us."

Excerpt from the article by The Reliable Source: In the hearing Thursday, Costner vented about the hurdles small businesses face finding a role in the process -- "like a video game no one can master." On the way out, reports our colleague Paul Kane, he chatted with now-lobbyist Trent Lott, who chided him for not wearing seersucker (as Lott was for "Seersucker Day" at the Capitol) and briefed him on Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour's latest report on the oil slick. Where was he headed next? "This is a meeting town," Costner lamented. "Man, this is a meeting town." At the following link:

Excerpt from article by LA Times: Now, in the 21st century, seersucker conjures a bygone era of rocking chairs, sweet tea on the front porch, and genteel conversation. That came into focus in one of those odd Beltway moments when Academy Award winner Kevin Costner, who had testified Thursday on the Hill on the Gulf oil spill, crossed paths with Lott. The former senator thanked the actor for his work on the spill and then suggested, "You need to get your seersucker outfit." "It's a handsome look," Costner offered. At the following link:
