Federal and Alaska state authorities on Thursday demanded $92 million from ExxonMobil Corp. to clean up oil that has lingered in Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska since the 11-million gallon Exxon Valdez tanker spill in 1989. A $900 million settlement in 1991 included a "reopener" provision allowing a request for up to $100 million more for cleanup. Along with the money demand, state and federal agencies sent Exxon an extensive budget plan for finding and cleaning up the leftovers of the spill.
