Extremly Confidential!!!!!!


Mike, after you asked me about Refinery Holding Co. entering into
negotiations with Chevron to purchase their El Paso Refinery I talked to Paul
Foster with RHC this morning. He did indicate that they were in negotiations
with Chevron and were a lot further along in the negotiations than he thought
they would be at this point. They are so far along that he feels that they
will be closed witnin 2 months. Paul and a group of bankers were in El Paso
yesterday looking over the assets.

I talked to Paul about the crude supply and the operation of the 20" crude
line. He said that the volume for both refineries would be 100,000 bpd. Paul
feels at this point that he may lease the p/l instead of selling so that he
can control the crude quality. He doesn't realize that he would get that
anyway since it is a ferc operated system but I'm not going to tell him that.

He and I will talk next week about potential crude supply ideas and EOTT
operating the p/l system.
