I have visited with Jim Derrick about having a legal/business committee representing your major groups. It would function in a similar manner as our Y2K committee did. We would have Fulbright & Jaworski give our people general instructions, our business people would canvass our companies to determine what we considered proprietary trade secrets and if we were not protecting our proprietary information appropriately, we could address that issue. Fulbright could also be used on an ad hoc basis. Costs would be shared proportionately between the major groups except special fees attributable to a specific operating group. I believe we need this inventory. If we try to enforce our non-competition agreements and we can't prove that we kept such information on a need to know basis and properly secured, we could lose the law suit. Jim asked that I contact each of you regarding this to see if you were in agreement with the proposed plan. Please respond as soon as possible if you agree so we can get the project off the ground.
