Q: Here is the draft for distribution. In addition to the customer-friendly "looking forward to meeting with our business partners" language I know you'll include, I'd suggest including something like the following: Attached are drafts of the proposed tariff provisions (including the form of Transport Option Amendment) and a filing letter. We are providing these draft documents to you in advance of filing them with FERC as part of a good-faith effort to resolve any remaining issues with our shippers prior to filing. The drafts are for purposes of discussion by workshop attendees only, and we ask that you not distribute them to persons outside your company. Additionally, while we hope that these drafts are close to being in final form, they are of course subject to revision and final management approval prior to filing with the Commission.

Q: Well, you never know... Got back into the office today after taking two days off with Sheila and family in Fredricksburg to find a thick envelope from Mertz Ranch Company buried in my "in box". Did not know what to expect, had visions of Mertz mailing it back with a note saying forget it. Instead, the lease was signed and dated and had a nice note saying "thanks". Go figure. We've got a lease for four more years. Same deal, same contract as the last three years, just 6K more a year. Price remains the same this year. next year it is 2k a year per spot and we will need to add one spot. Still waiting on Chet. Would like to know who McCombs would suggest if Chet does not commit. Lease requires Mertz to spent 2k a year on protien feed. He and I can agree in writing to reduce or increase that amount with a corresponding reduction or increase in lease cost. Term is April 1, 2002 to April 1 2005; exclusive right to hunt turkey and deer, spring turkey starting the third weekend in april. I'm pleased. Hope you are, too. Erik.

Q: Dan, in response to the following memo, can you discuss with Rick his ideas. I would also like to go through a detailed description of each EES office, its people and functions to determine which should be eliminated and which should be modified. Given the latest redeployments and terminations the field offices are a shadow of their previous stature either way. This is consistent with our overall strategies but perhaps we want to accelerate. If you could help set up the framework to discuss I would much appreciate. Good job on handling the "5's". Regards
