Bob, Hammond more than once told me that he had no problem with the oilco's doing all they could to get the best deal possible and commensurately, it was his job to do the same. What a concept!  Of course, this was at the very beginning so it was all riverboat gambling. I do feel, however, that the oilco's knew way more than anyone in the State did and probably still do in terms of actuarial value. They have vastly deeper pockets to pay propellor heads than we do. I won't live long enough but the battle over removing the pipeline will be epic.
