ExxonMobil Eases Arkansas Oil Spill No-Fly Zone 
------------------------------------------------


 
The oil giant Exxon Mobil claims it is now easing its no-fly zone over
its massive oil spill near Mayflower, Arkansas. The no-fly zone was
granted at the company's request after the leak of thousands of barrels
of oil last Friday. It is controlled by Tom Suhrhoff, an Exxon official.
After enforcing it for two days, Exxon said Thursday the no-fly zone
will be opened up to some members of the media. Exxon's ruptured Pegasus
pipeline remains shut down as cleanup efforts continue.
