I remember vaguely that we had some concern with how VAR was calculated. I recall that Dave Neubauer didn't think that we were doing it right for TW. Do you remember this issue? If so, does this change address the same issue? Also, I'll line up a meeting today or tomorrow on the TW options filing in general, and we can discuss the customer meeting and also touch on this internal controls issue.

They recently completed a review of our historical experience and correlation on our hedged positions. Based on this review, we have agreed to increase the correlation to .90. This change has caused the V@R to decrease significantly to more appropriately reflect the risk in our positions. We will continue to work with Risk Management to assure that our exposures are being appropriately reflected in the V@R calculation. If there are any question regarding the V@R calculation, please contact Dan Fancler or Bob Chandler.
