Problem: BODY: Greetings: Hope everyone had a pleasant 4th. I've read the respective Burton and Hertzberg language on amending AB 1X. The Burton language looks cleaner and simpler, though there may be reasons to include some of the Hertzberg language, too. I'm proposing to the group the following as potential amendments to the bond bill. I would appreciate your feedback.

In 2.10 (x), add to "due to an inability to pay, or other credit reason". In (y), add "or a contractual defense to payment" [could be force majeure, etc] Again in 2.10, third sentence from the end "any interest, penalties, attorneys fees and court costspayable by the Hub Shipper...; 3.3 Delete "prior" before "approval", and add "or ratification" in the redlined section on refunds. Thanks,

Problem: BODY: To my surprise, I was chosen today to sit on a jury to hear a felony charge. The judge believes that we can conclude the trial by end of the day on Wednesday or perhaps on Thursday. I will be back here working after trial hours in the office and checking voice mail messages during breaks in the proceedings. I will be back full time as soon as my civic duty is fulfilled! Enron is well presented in the court system over the next few days. I sat by Mark Koenig in the jury assembly room today, and he too was chosen to serve on another jury.
