White House: no new drilling until oil spill review

The White House on Friday said there would be no oil drilling authorized in new areas until a review of the oil spill in Gulf of Mexico has been conducted.

"No additional drilling has been authorized and none will until we find out what happened here and whether there was something unique and preventable here," White House adviser David Axelrod said on ABC's "Good Morning America" show. "No domestic drilling in new areas is going to go forward until there is a adequate review of what's happened here and of what is being proposed elsewhere." (Reuters)
