A number of new positive developments last night. Senator Gramm is actively
engaged and his issues are being aggressively negotiated. There remain a
number of outstanding points but there is good cooperation with the
Administration to get this done. Senator Gramm has been contacted by a
number of people including members of our Energy Group and Alan Greenspan
urging passage of the bill. This clearly has had an impact. Senator Gramm
appears committed, and he and his Staff are very focused.

With respect to physical commodities, our issues remain essentially untouched
from the House bill. I expect that this is where we will be if the
legislation gets passed. It looks now like Congress will be in next week,
perhaps until Thursday. While this is painful, it does give them more time
to work out unresolved issues.

I will continue to keep you apprised.
