Q: I look forward to seeing you Thursday evening, February 15, at the Texas Public Policy Foundation ("TPPF") event, "A Farewell Evening with Lady Margaret Thatcher." Wendy Gramm, who serves on our Board, is the Chairman of the Board of the TPPF. The TPPF is a state research institute guided by the core principles of limited government, free enterprise, private property rights and individual responsibility. TPPF is similar in many respects to the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., but focuses on state issues. Below are the pertinent details for the event. Please call Rebecca Carter (x3-7241) or Sherri Sera (x3-5984) if you have any questions.

Q: Boys, Brother Skilling is at it yet again. This time from the heartland at old 3058 Yale. As you can see, our chapter has decided to overlook Rocky's many, many trips to the roof in the early 70's and bestow a Distinguished Beta Award on his ass. I would think that any compromising pictures one might have of Brother Skilling would be extremely appropo for this occasion. I, for one, will be unable to attend due to the Redhead's and my 30th H.S. reunion in Corpus on that day, but if you have anything young Adrew M Carty could use, I'm certain he would appreciate. He's also obviously the contact arrange your presence there, should you be so inclined. Yours in -kai-,

Q: Dear Dr Lay, Thank you very much for your prompt response concerning the Preparatory Meeting for the Energy Governors Meeting in Davos. Of course, I am fully aware what a long way it is to go for a one-day meeting from Houston to Geneva. However, in order to prepare a successful Governors Meeting, the issue selection is primordial. I am pleased that among the first confirmations for the Preparatory Meeting we received confirmations from ABB Ltd, ENI SPA, Royal Dutch/Shell, Saudi Aramco, Statoil Group, Ruhrgas, some of which will be represented by their top-executives. Nevertheless, in order to have a representative overview on issue priorities I would very much appreciate your feedback on the issue list that had been attached to the invitation for the Preparatory Meeting. (I re-attach it to this email.) (See attached file: issues.doc) I will participate at this years World Energy Congress in Buenos Aires. Should you be planning to be there, it would be a great pleasure for me to meet with you on this occasion in order to get an in-depth feedback on your specific interests concerning the Energy Governors Meeting. I will stay at the Reconquista Plaza hotel (Tel. : 54 11 4311 4600 / Fax: 54 11 4311 3302). Should you have any questions concerning the Governors Meeting, please do not hesitate to contact me any time. Yours sincerely,

Q: Sean, Enclosed is a proposed methodology for the Dow Jones Hourly Index. Our longer term goal is to have this information posted to a website and available on an hourly basis, with perhaps a 2 or so hour delay. That will take longer to implement and some firms have expressed reservation with receiving the information too early. Presently, our goal is to have this information available to traders via email by 5:00 a.m. PT. This is preliminary and your thoughts and comments would be appreciated. Cheers,
