Coast Guard tells BP to speed up containment pace
James A. Watson
Coast Guard Rear Adm. James A. Watson sent a letter to BP officials on Friday expressing frustration with the overall pace of the effort and ordered the company to identify ways to expedite the process in the coming days.
 "Recognizing the complexity of this challenge  every effort must be expended to speed up the process " Watson wrote in the letter  sent to Doug Suttles  BP's chief operating officer.
 But Watson said he was concerned that BP's plans didn't maximize resources or "go far enough to mobilize redundant resources" in the event of an equipment failure or another problem.
 "BP must identify in the next 48 hours additional leak containment capacity that could be operationalized and expedited to avoid the continued discharge of oil " Watson wrote.
 BP spokesman Jon Pack said the company received Watson's letter and would respond to it as soon as possible.
