105 Robert Ayers [Suggests modification to the statement on gas 



blowouts--modifications and additions are 

 underlined] Less information exists on possible 

 impacts from gas blowouts. However, since the 

 hydrocarbon gases rise into the atmosphere 

 rather than remain in the water column or 

 settle, it appears that impacts would be 

 significantly less than if crude oil were 

 spilled.
