I've redlined the outline to address what I believe is the most important
risk you guys will face out there: the risk that FERC will listen to your
presentation and conclude that the embedded optionality that some pipelines
are currently offering in transport contracts is a negotiated term and
condition and therefore must be stopped. I think we need to tailor the
presentation and filing to minimize the chance that FERC will take away
flexibility we think we now have (i.e., the flexibility to embed shipper puts
in transport contracts). Even if the TW approach on unbundled options goes
nowhere, several of the strategies we may want to implement next year depend
on continued ability to sell embedded options. Susan, Shelley,a nd MKM, I
still think it is a good idea to push this proposal, but am concerned that
FERC might squirrel and go the opposite direction we are trying to push
them. Your thoughts? DF

Subject: Outline of TW Options Program

Nancy, I've prepared the attached outline in response to FERC Staff's request
that we provide "something in writing." This is basically just a description
of our proposal. I've tried to keep it brief so that staff members are not
reading while we're trying to talk to them. It should be enough information
to raise a lot of questions.

Please wait until Shelley or I give you the go-ahead to pass this along to
the relevant Commission people; I'd like to give the other addressees the
opportunity to comment on this to the extent possible.

Everyone else: please give me your comments ASAP as Nancy has been asked to
provide something to them tomorrow.
