My suggestion would be to use the Duncan McCachen firm, a litigation boutique 
who we have used in the past (CIBC litigation).  Mike McCachen has a good 
understanding of the trading business for a litigation lawyer.  
Alternatively, I would suggest Clarke Hunter of Macleod Dixon who is 
currently representing us on the NGX litigation and who also has a good 
understanding of out trading business.  Mike is a little more aggressive than 
Clarke, to my preference.

We would like to proceed as soon as possible as our demand letter expired 
last week, and our calls this morning were not dealt with satisfactorily.

Peter. Steve: I had a memo from Rick in response to our trip report last week 
regarding the meetings we held in Helsinki and Brussels. He again has raised 
the issue whether or not we are expending too much effort on the energy 
services liberalization and has no doubt that we are.

I did call him as requested on Tuesday morning Houston time after Ken Lay's 
presentation (it was excellent and has been getting good press) and suggested 
that you, Rick and I get together for an update. Rick wants to have another 
group conference call but I would prefer that we not have any such call 
because several of the participants have no day to day understanding of what 
has been accomplished and what can be accomplished.

A lot has happened in the last several weeks and the WTO Committee on 
Specific Committments meets again next week. USTR believes that it is likely 
to be important for the Energy Services Coalition to conduct a work shop for 
WTO delegations in Geneva during October. USTR and others are pushing for a 
launch of actual negotiations late this year or in the first quarter of 2001. 
Our goal  continues to be to make certain that energy services is one of the 
sectors negotiated. That is not yet decided but the October and possibly 
Novemeber meetings of the Committee on Specific Committments is thought to be 
ready to recommend a launch.

Ken and our people in Japan believe that we should follow up the invitation 
of Mr. Kushakawa and brief Japan energy officials on our energy services 
campaign. Carla Hills is prepared to go to Japan late this month. Bob Fisher,
