ESA Legal Management Committee Meeting

Randy: Please forgive me for missing the call this morning. I mistakenly
thought that my 7:30 am doctor's appointment was tomorrow and not this
morning.

Just a brief update to my resport of yesterday, Lynn, Brent and I are meeting
this afternoon to discuss the Tozzini response and set plans for another trip
to Sao Paulo to meet with the lawyers and refine the review. I'll keep you
briefed because I know that we're fast approaching year-end and Tozzini will
be in a crunch. We can discuss as the need arises.

Also, Lynn is preparing his synopsis regarding Don's recent inquiries about
trading office locations. Don's questions tie into the legal review of
financial trading options in general but it's a good idea to address these up
front.

Please call if you have any questions. I promise to be back on board next
week. Regards. Sara
