Last year money was to be set aside in reserves to cover the net amount needed to resolve these issues with Transco, BUG , LILCO and Enron.
The total dollars required was approximately $4.25 million.
An amount of $3.55 million needed for  the Transco historical imbalance resolution.
The remaining balance was needed for the BUG and LILCO accounting issues that Keyspan brought to our attention  last year.
Bob Hall has $3.5 million reserved in his area for the Transco historical imbalance.
The remaining $50,000 for Transco and approximately $700,000 of additional funds for the accounting issues were to be reserved last year under "The Office of the Chairman".
Sally Beck and Janet Dietrich arranged for this additional money to be reserved at the "Chairman" level since the additional funds were needed to  correct an old accounting problem that should not hit the East Desk P&L.
Also, the  arrangement was that the reserve would be maintained until the settlement payments were made by Enron.
As with most stories, there is some good news and some bad news.
First, the bad news.
After a great deal of investigation, it appears that there currently is no reserve at the "Office of the Chairman"  for these additional funds.
Now, the good news.
Georgeanne  will take the necessary steps to make sure there is money available so that we can quickly resolve these issues with Keyspan and Transco.
If you have questions, please give me a call.
