Mike,

I was talking to a member of the NYMEX Board and he thinks he can get JDF a
$5,000 to $10,000 donation from the NYMEX. I will coordinate with Cathy and
we will submit a request to the NYMEX and he will push the process. His name
is Rich Schaeffer and he is the NYMEX Treasurer and works at ABN AMRO in NY.
