Dear Editor,
“EXXON agreed to unlimited liability coverage” is a statement that is being made over and over again by the former EPA head, Dr Vincent Adams. He claims this was the case when he was head of the agency under the previous administration.
Exxon has said no such agreement was ever in place. The EPA has said no such agreement was ever in place; and Dr Adams has never accused the current leadership of the EPA of destroying this paper trail.
But he continues to say that this agreement was made even while failing to produce it.
Where then is this agreement which was made when Dr Adams headed the agency?
Known for enjoying media coverage, how is it that Dr Adams did not hold a press conference to announce such a major development, one which he would’ve been praised highly for, for brokering? Why didn’t he at the very least, have the EPA issue a press release?
Was he running an operation where major decisions and agreements with multi-national corporations did not require documentation? Hence, the absence of same? Even so, Exxon has said this was not even agreed to verbally; no such agreement exists.
Dr Adams is either unwell or is deliberately misleading the public, as part of his political agenda as an executive member of the AFC. One can excuse and treat the unwell, but the latter is a deplorable descent into the abyss for a person who held such an important office.
Yours sincerely,
Romel Khan
