I understand that John Goodpasture expects to leave, apparently= around the end of the month. I have also been advised that Steve Dowd is = getting up to speed on the MOPS deal and will be prepared to jump in if nec= essary. Per my conversation with John this morning, I understand John inte= nds to validate the list of open issues with Dan McVay today. It is possib= le that the key issue--the "material adverse effect" clause--has been elimi= nated along the lines you, John and I outlined in your office about 10 days= ago. If not, we will need to discuss with you our recommendation for res= olving the open issues by tomorrow or Wed. and then present that recommenda= tion to Stan for his decision as necessary. Armed with that decision on th= e scope of our authority, John would be able to try to close the deal this = week. If that chronology holds up John's departure plans should not be a p= roblem. Otherwise, the handoff to Steve will need to happen and we'll clos= e the remaining issues as soon as possible thereafter. I will keep you pos= ted on any material changes in where we are. Thanks. DF
