Richard: In the US we have changed our swap agreement forms to provide for arbitration in order to avoid having to explain the intricacies of derivatives trading to judges or, God forbid, juries. In Canada we are continuing to submit to the jurisdiction of Canadian courts (on the theory that there are no juries in civil actions and arbitration is rarely used in Canadian contracts generally). As we are presently in the process of revising our UK swap agreement forms, I guess it's time to revisit the issue as it applies to UK agreements. Currently we agree to UK law and the jurisdiction of UK courts (where there are no juries in civil actions). Should this continue to be our policy or should we begin going for arbitration in the UK contracts also? I would ask Paul and Scott to let Richard and me know if arbitration is widely enough used in UK agreements that we can get away with asking for it. Thanks,

Began initial field confirmation of EOTT crude oil tanks and equipment in the MIdland Region. Five of the thirteen teams which have EOTT facilites have been inpsected and appropriate changes made to the database and spreadsheet. A meeting was held with the Midland field teams which have Title V facilities, to complete and submit the required annual certifications. All Title V locations in the MIdland region were in compliance for this year. Region IX EPA has made a determination that prior to issuance of the air permits for the Redrock turbine installation, Transwestern is to conduct an endangered species survey of C/S's 3 and 4. A contractor has been contacted and the surveys will be completed prior to September 15th. This is not a new issue, as EPA Region VI, Dallas required consideration of the Endangered Species Act to be completed at the Luguna C/S, which is on Laguna Indian Lands. The Title V permit will not be issued for the Laguna C/S until the EPA is satisified that endangered species are not a concern. Preliminary environmental and right of way field data are being provided to an environmental contractor to initiate a fatal flaw analysis of a proposed project for Transwestern Pipeline Company. Continued EOTT crude oil release data collections for forthcoming Sept. 27th NFL meeting in MIdland.
