CNN) -- BP denied Wednesday that it has ordered cleanup workers not to talk to reporters.
"Recent media reports have suggested that individuals involved in the cleanup operation have been prohibited from speaking to the media, and this is simply untrue," BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said in a letter e-mailed to CNN by a company spokesman.
"BP fully supports and defends all individuals rights to share their personal thoughts and experiences with journalists if they choose."
He added, "BP has not and will not prevent anyone working in the cleanup operation from sharing his or her own experiences or opinions."
But Article 22 of a 16-page agreement BP signed with vessel owners working on the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster says that the company once did impose such restrictions. "Vessel owner and employees will not make news releases, marketing, presentation, or any other public statements without charterer's [BP's] prior written approval," it says.
