As usual, you have a great~idea.   The~ difficulty is that the MD meeting preceeded the
Board meeting Monday afternoon with little mention to the BoD.   I have talked to Frevert,
and we agreed to let the Mgmt. Comm. offsite on Wed. proceed, test the temperature of the
feedback there (see if it mirrors the MD session) and then decide how/when/if to summarize
management feedbadk to the BoD.   Thanks a lot. Paula

P - an idea. You should consider summarizing the MD meeting we had yesterday for the
Board.   A lot more meaningful feedback than press reports and analyst summaries. - The tone
from investors today in San Diego was very hostile re: Andy and I don't think this is
getting through to the Board. This is a little "venting" given the amount of time we have
all put in to defend Andy, with very little help from him. Thanks again for your help this
morning. MEK Mark Koenig
