Michelle and Peter, we (GSP) have determined that we are not a federal
government contractor. Based on feedback from GSP employees, we do
sell newsprint to printers who print material for the federal
government, but we are a 'second-tier' contractor, not a 'first-tier'
contractor. (Pat McCarthy, the local employment law attorney that I
have been using, used these terms when David Howe and i talked to him
today.) Pat informed us that second-tier contractors do not have to
abide by all the federal government requirements for contractors.

Based on this, GSP does not plan to file EEO-1 reports or prepare
affirmative action plans. In addition, we do not feel that we are
subject to an OFCCP audit.

Michelle, since you left me the voicemail telling me that we are not
included in the Enron EEO-1, i assume that also means that Enron's
status as a government contractor does not force us to prepare EEO-1
and AAPs.

Please advise us if you feel we have made incorrect assumptions on any
of this.
