Last year money was to be set aside in reserves to cover the net amount needed
to resolve these issues with Transco, BUG , LILCO and Enron. The total
dollars
required was approximately $4.25 million. An amount of $3.55 million needed
for
the Transco historical imbalance resolution. The remaining balance was needed
for the BUG and LILCO accounting issues that Keyspan brought to our attention
last year.

Bob Hall has $3.5 million reserved in his area for the Transco historical
imbalance.
The remaining $50,000 for Transco and approximately $700,000 of additional
funds
for the accounting issues were to be reserved last year under "The Office of
the
Chairman". Sally Beck and Janet Dietrich arranged for this additional money
to
be reserved at the "Chairman" level since the additional funds were needed to
correct an old accounting problem that should not hit the East Desk P&L.
Also, the
arrangement was that the reserve would be maintained until the settlement
payments
were made by Enron.

As with most stories, there is some good news and some bad news. First, the
bad news.
After a great deal of investigation, it appears that there currently is no
reserve at the
"Office of the Chairman" for these additional funds. Now, the good news.
Georgeanne
will take the necessary steps to make sure there is money available so that
we can
quickly resolve these issues with Keyspan and Transco.

If you have questions, please give me a call.
