Gerald,
I am attaching a revision to the Gulf letter agreement. Upon reflection and after talking with my contact at the AAA, I wouldn't recommend a single arbitrator for claims over $300,000 where the facts are numerous and technical. For the complex claim there may be too much information for one person. Also, the parties can agree on a single arbitrator later if the claim, even though large, is simple. It may be that claims under $300,000 could be too complex for a single arbitrator, but at amounts lower than that the expenses of arbitration and the loss of use of the money could really undercut an award, particularly if it is a "compromise" award. I also decided against recommending fast track. Again, the parties can agree to that later if they want. However, the time periods in fast track are so short that even a good arbitrator might have too little time to absorb the materials presented by the parties. I will fax to you relevant AAA rules. After you review them we can talk about alternatives if that would be useful.

She suggested I forward this to you. The attached agreement addresses the power line facilities for Enron Compression Services Company's electric motor drivers in Florida. The agreement has been highly negotiated to this point, but I wanted to get your general view of the structure prior to executing this with Gulf. We are trying to execute quickly. Susan could give you more context on our situation with Gulf. Please call me if you have any questions (713) 853-3512.
