Barbara,

We shall extend the funding for the seminar in the fall for the next season.

I shall be glad to cover the cost of a coffee mug with our logos. Can you 
identify a
producer who can come up with a design?
I think that we may use the company that produces
RICE memorabilia.

I shall run  the design through our PR Department and then we can have it
produced.

Vince

Vince:

I have checked with our accounting folks and it looks like the balance in
the seminar account is under $5000.  This will get us going in the fall so
we have some flexibility for the next Enron funding - whatever works best
on your end.

Also, I am interested in pursuing the idea of designing some sort of a gift
- a coffee cup perhaps - to give to our seminar guests.  I think we could
do something neat with the Enron and Rice/JGS logos that folks would be
happy to display on their shelf or desk top.  What do you think?

As always, thank you so much for your support of our efforts over here.  It
is truly appreciated.
