Concerning the below request, Equilon is approved to buy protection (default 
swap) on Northwest Airlines.  I will also look at adding Equilon to the 
approved counterparty trading list. 

However, before transacting, we need speak with Mark for legal approval.

We are looking at giving an offer for a bankruptcy swap to Equilon

Is Equilon an approved counteraprty?
