Shane and I spoke yesterday regarding the USD curve. Whilst taking a curve
other than the day end curve is relatively easy to do (once we have agreed a
formal procedure and changed the IT feeds) and would give us only minor P&L
concerns on a daily basis there is an impact on determining and hedging our
USD cashflows. This would undoubtedly be a cost to the UK business. Shane is
going to put a note together to outline the issues and have a stab at
attaching a monetary cost (although I expect he will have to guesstimate the
amounts). Depending on the size this will need to be communicated to the
business heads here in London.

Rick,
Shane Dallman and I are trying to speak with James to discuss the Libor Curve
and its impact on London's reporting. The Libor curve is published daily in
Houston at 3:00 pm (CST) at the close of US Trading.

The Global Products books are now final closed from Houston so their areas
should not be impacted.

We will update you when we have spoken to James regarding his areas and
possible ways Rate & Currency can assist.

Rick,

Thanks you for your note below. We are today implementing a flash P&L
process. We aim to report daily numbers at 7am Houston time and will start
today with the P&L. We will build on this and hope to have draft positions
and VAR for most books within a week or so. There will be a reconciliation of
flash to final numbers which will be included in our return to Houston.

I will put together a note on the London DPR production process which goes
into the process we currently have, the process we actually need to have, and
the obstacles that are in the way. I would expect this to be finalised
tomorrow. Obtaining the USD interest rate curve on a more timely basis is
just one of our problems but it is unfortunately by no means our only or most
serious problem.

James

Need your help on the following: Each day we are delayed in finalising var,
p&L and positions because the UK must wait for a USD interest rate curves
before submitting their data to Houston. I am also told that it is really not
necessary to wait for this curve and the data could be submitted close of
business London. Even if there was some minor inaccuracy from this method it
would be better than what we have now. This would greatly improve the
efficiency (by 4 to 6 hours) in reporting to senior management. Can you guys
initiate this change or get me to the right person there. Thanks, Rick
