After a conversation with you, John Watson and I advised Mike Goldberg that you did not want to be competing with the Rockets in soliciting contributions to the Arena referendum campaign. Mike Goldberg called Friday and asked whether it would be acceptable for the Rockets to net against their contribution obligation contributions that they have solicited from Baker & Botts, Jim MacInvale and Tilman Fertitta. Mike suggested that these three persons would be the only outside persons that would be solicited by the Rockets. Would you please let me know if this is acceptable to you. You or Rosalee may call me at 713-758-2350 or send me a response e-mail at mtelle@velaw.com. Sincerely, Michael S. Telle
