The more I think about it, the more I am convinced it would be difficult to justify 2 trips per person. I think that we should go for one contiguous stay per person and make a good effort to make these trips productive. Vince Steven Leppard 05/11/2000 03:41 AM To: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Dale Surbey/LON/ECT@ECT Subject: Summer visits Vince Thanks for offering to look my presentation over. The deadline for submission has been extended until tomorrow (Friday), so there's less of a hurry. As regard our summer visits, we'll need to speak to Dale over the budget. Personal commitments mean it's difficult for me to take two whole months to visit, so if the cost is prohibitive I may need to make just one shorter visit. I'd obviously like to spend longer, and two visits seems to be the only way I can do it. I believe the situation is similar for Kirstee. I've persuaded Richard to pay for Matt's visit in its entirety, and I've no doubt that RAC/Credit Trading will pick up the bills for Ben and Kirstee. It's difficult to think who'd be the natural group to pay for me. I honestly think I'll have difficulty persuading, e.g. Richard, that it's worth his while to pay for my visit. I get the impression he thinks I'm doing OK without the need to go to Houston for further training. I'm interviewing a candidate for Bjorn's model review role during today's videoconference, so we'll need to speak beforehand or perhaps Friday. All the best, Steve Vince J Kaminski 05/10/2000 01:54 PM To: Steven Leppard/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT, Stinson Gibner/HOU/ECT@ECT, Grant Masson/HOU/ECT@ECT, Pinnamaneni Krishnarao/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Conference Steve, I am tied up at the Power2000 conference. I shall get back to you with my comments on Thursday morning. I also want to talk to you tomorrow about finalizing the dates of the summer rotations. We are talking to HR here about apartments, car rentals, and other arrangements for the London team for the summer. I promised to give them the names and dates by the end of the week. Sorry for the delay in sending you my comments. Vince
