Considering that each area is acting independently with varying degrees of successes and failures, including interferences by the Coast Guard ~
I would ask the Admiral why the response efforts seems uncoordinated and directionless and how he intends to amend this.
As an aside you could lead this into the USCG’s inability to coordinated other areas of their bureaucracy, excluding their rescue operations they are not very good administrators.
Why aren’t there more active duty soldiers, sailors, marines, and coasties involved in the clean-up and why would the Coast Guard allow BP to take charge of areas that are public domain?

Uncoordinated and directionless compared to what? Other major oil spill clean-up? My sense is that most critics of the clean-up don’t understand the problem involved in cleaning up oil in the Gulf moving around at the mercy of the current and wind. Every time oil washes ashore it finger pointing time.
Please ask the Admiral if he is considering requiring more prepositioned oil recovery equipment such as you see in Prince William Sound. Each of the SERVS barges has at least 3 to 4 mariners assigned at all times. Just thinking about jobs.
