Q: Hi, How's it going? You realize we missed our PLAYDAY for the kids this week. We need to make sure we get on schedule for next week. Sometimes the Tuesday night choir rehearsal takes so much out of me and the boys, that sometimes we spend Wednesday recuperating (i.e. getting the boys and myself to bed early). It's always so much better when Todd is not working and he can keep them. Girl, what did you think of that Jon P. Kee song that Joe and that girl were singing on Tuesday. The choir really wasn't into that one. We just could not muster up a good sound! Are you going to the groundbreaking ceremony? If so, let's see if some of us want to have lunch together before we head to the tent! I'm 75% sure that I will be attending. Talk to you later.

Q: Dear PIRA Client, PIRA has created a new presentation on the world economy. You can access this presentation via PIRA Online (www.pira.com) by logging in and, from the Client Home page, choosing "World Economy" from the "Macro Data"* drop-down menu at the top of the screen. We have also updated the existing slideshow accessible from the "US Economy" link. The presentation consists of a table and charts that encapsulate GDP and IP performance, by country/region, for 2000-2002. It is a useful comparative recap for the existing slideshows on the U.S., European, and Japanese economies. Given the overall importance of economic trends and their impact on regional and global energy markets, PIRA maintains databases of key economic indicators to support our analyses of energy fundamentals and the associated market forecasts. These presentations - which are updated as new data become available - are being made available complimentarily to all PIRA Online users. If you need a user name and password for PIRA Online, or if you need help logging in, please contact Dyana Rothman at (212) 686-6808, email: support@pira.com. (*If you are having trouble finding the "Macro Data" link, go to the FAQ page on PIRA Online and click on question number 4.) Gary N. Ross Chief Executive Officer PIRA Energy Group
