TW Gas Sales: PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE

In anticipation of potential litigation involving TW's operational
activities, please prepare an analysis for me of the reasons for TW's sale of
excess natural gas at the California border. I am aware of several of these
sales and have been informed that excess pressure at the border is the basic
reason for them. I'd like a more specific explanation that includes the
following information:
1. What are the specific pressures and volume considerations that could make
it operationally necessary to sell gas at the California border?
2. What is the process that is followed to make such a determination?
3. Which individuals or groups are involved in determining whether an
operational sale is necessary?
4. In what way have system operations changed since last year and how do
those changes contribute to the increased frequency of such sales compared to
previous years?
5. What alternatives to operational sales are considered before the decision
to make a sale is reached?

Thanks for your attention to this request. Please give me a call to discuss
and please designate your response as "Privileged and Confidential, Attorney
Client Privileged."
