s runaway oil well in the gulf of mexico has finally met its match. the oil giant says the static kill operation appears to be working at plugging the macando well. that busted well has pumped an estimated five million barrels of oil into the gulf of mexico over the last three months, and as stephanie dhue reports, a new study shows 75% of that spilled oil is now gone. >> reporter: president obama paused in a speech to union supporters to welcome a breakthrough in the gulf. >> the long battle to finally stop the leak and contain the oil is finally close to coming to an end. >> reporter: a report by government scientists says that 75% of the oil released into the gulf is now gone. a quarter of it has been burned, skimmed or directly recovered from the wellhead. another quarter naturally evaporated or dissolved, and another quarter was dispersed either by nature or with chemicals. the rest, the report says, is either on the surface or has already washed ashore. the progress in the gulf had white house spokesman robert gibbs saying the president is willi

of the gulf of mexico because of the spill. now that the wellhead is capped, scientists are going back into the spill area and taking seafood samples to determine which areas are safe for fishing. areas only reopened to fishing and only after the seafood passes rigorous testing. every seafood sample has passed chemical testing for contamination of oil dispersant. no unsafe levels of contamination have been found. we began reopening portions of the closed areas. thank you for allowing me to testify today. i am happy to answer any questions that you might have. >> thank you very much. our next witness is mr. donald kramer. he is the deputy director of the office of crude safety at the u.s. food and drug administration, where he is responsible for the administration of the fda seafood policy. he has been with the fda since 1977. you may proceed. >> good afternoon. >> move that microphone a little closer. >> good afternoon. i am donald kramer, acting deputy director. with me is a senior adviser to the chief scientist at the fda off
