May 30 letter response

Enclosed is my proposed response (which I intend to fax to Mr. Drivon
tomorrow) to the May 30, 2001 letter from Senator Dunn's Committee regarding
document retention. As indicated, the letter does not say anything of
substance, but we have at least acknowledged receipt of the letter. My not
getting a copy directly from the Senate Committee is a legitimate excuse to
extend the time to respond (recognizing that the May 30 letter did not set a
deadline for a response). I will have a proposed response sent via e-mail on
Friday and we can discuss it in Houston next week. Given our strategy of
proceeding with all deliberate speed, I do not want to respond any sooner
than necessary to anything from the Senate Committee, particularly when we
know that the subpoenas are going to be issued this week or next and will
apparently call for a 15-day response time. If you have a different strategy
in mind, give me a call or e-mail a response. MLK
