RE: Final 6/19/01 Global Products Notification

True, but the limits and associated P&L notifications relate to commodity
groups rather than business units - they used to be the same. Unfortunately,
where we have become more sophisticated and, as in this case legitimately
hedge a natural exposure with some other commodity, the latter commodity (and
associated P&L) gets counted in the commodity "cut".

Loss notifications, especially, serve as a "flag", and provided the
explanation makes sense and everyone who needs to make a decision about it,
can do so, then it serves its purpose. The other upside is that when,
sometime in the future, we have to refer back to an event, we have good
"institutional memory".

I talked to Brent about this yesterday - my advice was that notifications
would be better drafted by those closest to the positions (i.e. his mid
office groups)

In this Violation memo, you are taking out positive P&L associated to a nat
gas posion in the LPG books which is a true hedge versus some long dated
propane positions. When you add back the hedge P&L I believe there is no
violation.
