Outpourings

Energy companies large and small, including some that had offices in the World Trade Center, are continuing to pour financial, material and emotional support into relief efforts for victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. By the end of last week, Exxon Mobil Corp. had pledged up to $20 million, while BP, Chevron, Texaco and Amerada Hess were but a few announcing $5 million in corporate donations (see Daily GPI, Sept. 17). As much as money, however, many companies across the country are continuing to pledge their blood, time and a commitment to persevere.
