In addition to letters to Sec. Bodman, activists also sent over 800 letters to newspapers nationwide to publicize the Bush Administration’s poor selection of former CEO Lee Raymond to head the national study, to be released in Summer '07. The attention created by activists caused one of the study's new concerns to be, "Some believe [that] conclusions [are] already formed; perception of Exxon-led study."

Thanks to over 20,000 letters to Senators from Exxpose Exxon activists and thousands of others, 24 U.S. Senators signed a bipartisan letter to ExxonMobil insisting the company pay the court-ordered punitive damages owed to the victims of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
