El Paso Allocation Proceeding

This is to alert you that FERC has put both the Amoco/Burlington complaint
about Topock and the KN complaint about east end mainline capacity on the
agenda for next Wednesday's meeting. Specific sub-dockets include Enron's
and Cook Inlet's protests of the allocation procedure for released capacity,
i.e., SoCal's assignment to its replacement shippers of only non-SoCal/Topock
rights.

I will get a copy of the draft order as soon as it is available and advise
you of FERC's decision. Based on the inclusion of the KN complaint, they may
be ready to decide whether or not to require El Paso to address allocation of
receipt point rights.
