Senator Bill Nelson, Democrat of Florida, called for a thorough investigation of the oil industry’s safety practices. Mr. Nelson pressured the Obama administration to extend the coastal buffer zone off Florida to 125 miles from 75. Now he said he was not certain that even that was enough margin for safety. “The tragedy off the coast of Louisiana shows we need to be asking a lot more tough questions of Big Oil,” Mr. Nelson said. “I think we need to look back over 10 years or so to see if the record denies the industry’s claims about safety and technology.”
