We can find a way to get a long term commitment from EOTT, thus changing their organization, without taking on the price risk. On the hiring, I think that is a good idea. If it is put in a way that due to the extensive growth that we expect to have, you want to be in the hiring loop, I don't see how people can object. It is not a trust situation but an additional reference point. We are here to help. mike From: Jeffrey A Shankman 08/28/2000 02:41 PM To: Mike McConnell/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: I think that meeting with Stan was good. I'll push Nowlan, Schroeder, etc. On another note, I want to send out an email to the business unit heads about hiring. Obviously crucial to our business growth is more talent, I'm just worried we could be bringing in people on the trading side that do not upgrade our group. After we feel more comfortable, and I feel good our assessment of talent, I'd loosen the reigns substantially. This is driven by the crude and products group primarily. Any thoughts? Jeff
