Gentlemen,

Yesterday, Enron provided comments on the MOU which raise several new issues of substance. TransCanada & Westcoast recommend that these matters be deferred and included with our discussions on the commercial proposal and the Partnership Agreement, as we have agreed on a number of other issues.

As we discussed on Tuesday's conference call, we believe the first priority for ANNGTC is to finalize the MOU now, & put it "on ice", to permit all parties to obtain the required governance approvals by Nov. 15 - also the press release would be drafted, circulated & approved and ready to go at that time.

Secondly, the commercial proposal to ANS Producers must be initiated in early November to meet a mid-Dec. deadline. This proposal will of necessity have the group addressing the large commercial alternatives in order to establish a viable and attractive project.

We recommend a conference call on Monday @ 1:30 PM (Mountain time) to finalize the MOU - we will arrange a dial-in #.. Please provide your comments on the MOU to Murray & I today.


Tony
