Legislation

Pipeline Safety -- Legislative situation still remains active, with a strong 
possibility that the House will take up the Senate-passed legislation early 
next week.   In anticipation of resistence from some Democrats who are 
opposing the bill for purely political reasons, we have stepped up lobbying 
efforts with key Democratic constituencies and other interest groups who can 
provide support to the legislation (gas users, governors, steel industry, 
etc.).    Jeff will be speaking on this topic at the ETS management 
conference on Wednesday, October 4.

MTBE -- prospects for legislation this Congress are looking bleak.  The only 
possibility for legislation to move is to attach the Senate Environment 
Committee-passed bill to an appropriations bill, and many key congressional 
leaders are opposed to this strategy because of the controversy surrounding 
the legislation.   We are making sure that key advocates are armed with 
industry transition/conversion funding amendments in case a last-minute 
effort to attach an MTBE ban to some moving legislation is attempted.
