Dr. Irani has had the opportunity to visit with HRH, the Foreign Minister on a couple of occasions in the past week. We have been given a few insights that I would like to share with you. The most significant is the suggestion that we request permission from the Negotiating Team to begin discussions with the other short-listed companies about possible consortium arrangements. We want to make sure that Enron is comfortable with that at this stage. Our intent would be to have very high-level contacts to guage interest but not to make any commitments at this point. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards and I hope you had a great holiday, Casey Olson
