Yes. We talked this morning, and I am pleased with the results. We talked
about integrating our offices fully. We agreed that I would put together an office seat assignment chart, which would move John and his folks into our section of the office. This will allow us to more fully integrate our activities on a daily if not hourly means. We also talked about how John and Tom should think about our involvement on international issues. Our basic framework, which will need further definition, is to consolidate Joe Hillings activities into John's and Tom's portfolios. By that I see John handling project based activity and Tom predominantly handling international legislative issues. There will of course be overlap but I think the friction we have seen in the office to date should be mitigated with this approach. Tom has a very full plate, and even with our new hires, I do not see Tom's domestic (such as energy and commodities) activities dropping off that much. This too should lessen friction. John and I also talked about consolidating our budgets. I explained to him how that has worked to date with Joe Hartsoe's group. John and I also discussed our outside counsel in the international arena, including McLarty. John thought Mac could be very helpful to us and that we can better focus Mac's assignments. We also discussed that I planned to end or multilaterize the Hills Co. engagement at the end of March. I am prepared to recommend that we either terminate the engagement or ask other members of the coaltion to pay an equal share of the cost, thus potentially our cost to a $2/3K level per month from its current level of $20K. I doubt members will be willing to give up their free ride, so my guess is that we will be terminating the contract.

I would suggest that Rick and/or other principals discuss and get back to John Hardy -- when and if they make a decision about incorporating that group into Federal Government Affairs. That's all I know! Best. Lora
