Please find below the latest e-mail that I had sent to Mike, which outlines 
my proposed trip to London.  Upon your approval, I plan on going to London on 
February 3rd, which would coincide with Joel Heneberg's trip.  I am also 
planning on sitting in on some of his Commodity Logic Meetings, since Global 
Rates will be an integral part of some of these meetings.  

If you have questions, please feel free to give me a call @ x36674

I thought I would share with you my ideas in regard to my upcoming trip to 
London.

I would like to meet with you and James New for about an hour when I first 
arrive to get a feel of your businesses and to give both of you an update on 
the new and improved Global Rates Group, after the partial implementation of 
MKM.   I would also appreciate it, if I could unobtrusively sit with several 
of your risk groups, in order to among other things, get an idea of the types 
of commodities London trades and their respective Exchanges.  This would 
allow to familiarize myself with the current process that London uses to 
capture commodity rates.  

After a couple of days in your shop, I am confident that I could come back to 
Houston with a much better idea of how Global Rates could be of the most 
benefit to London.

This trip would of course be charged to the Global Rates CC and not allocated 
back to London, since it is a "discovery"  trip, which we have budgeted for 
in our 2001 budget.

I wouldn't want this to interfere in anyway with your ongoing business, 
therefore would you please let me know when you and James would be in London 
during the next couple of  weeks and I will schedule my trip accordingly.

Thanks again for your assistance, it is unfortunate that our teleconference 
scheduled for today got cancelled.
