Topics for next week

Well, I didn't get this out to you before I left the office last night. I
was still pouring over bonus info until 9:30, and decided to call it quits at
that point. Here are some of the things that I would like to do next week:

review your action plan to move the close and officialization of London
books to same day,

to replicate, if appropriate, an Operational Risk information session for
London counterparts (you and I can review early in the week what we are
doing here in Houston today and modify the info for Europe)

discuss the Doorstep process with you and, if you deem appropriate, your
business controllers in the London office who will participate in Doorstep
reviews this year (clear up and questions and get your input on how to
continually improve the process),

discuss with Mark Pickering the technology dependencies of the London office
related to speeding up London's information for the corporate DPR

do some planning with you for the February 12 & 13 ASE

discuss the feasibility of utilizing our operational pricing model in London

discuss your ideas and thoughts on CommodityLogic and other ideas around
potential commercialization of mid and back office services

In addition, I would like to meet with anyone in the London office that you
think would be beneficial. Through Nicki Scott, I understand that Michael
Brown would like to meet with me so we are setting that up. I will also
spend some time with Beth Apollo and Ted Murphy while I am there. And I plan
to meet with Fernley as well.

Any other suggestions on topics or people to see?

I think that we have lunch already on the calendar for Wednesday.
