EOTT - new analyst at Merrill Lynch

FYI-
I spoke with Andrew Fairbanks, the Merrill Lynch analyst that is going to
start covering EOTT. He will take over coverage of several MLPs including
Plains, Teppco, and Lakehead. The transition will probably happen sometime
in March.

I suggested he visit the EOTT offices to meet management. He will probably
take me up on the offer sometime in early March.

I am sending him historical information on EOTT, as well as the presentation
I prepared for A.G. Edwards.
