DRILLING ON THE OCS

June 20, 2008

Analysis of:Rush to exploit new offshore oil hampered by shortage of drilling ships | www.iht.com

THE INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE HAS PUT THE "CART BEFORE THE HORSE". CONSTRAINTS ON PRODUCING OIL AND NATURAL GAS ON THE AREAS OF THE OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELVES OF THE US ARE NOT THE CURRENT HIGH DEMAND, WORLD WIDE, FOR DRILL SHIPS, BUT THE MANY STEPS THAT WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN BEFORE ANY DRILLING CAN TAKE PLACE ON THE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN UNDER MORATORIA FOR OVER 30 YEARS: 1 THE MORATORIA MUST FIRST BE LIFTED EITHER BY CONGRESSIONAL ACTION OR BY EXECUTIVE ORDER. 2 A 5 YEAR LEASE PLAN MUST BE APPROVED BY CONGRESS 3 PLANS FOR SPECIFIC LEASE AREA MUST BE CREATED 4 LEASE SALES MUST BE CONDUCTED 5 WINNING BIDDERS MUST OBTAIN ALL THE NECESSARY PERMITS

KC-45A CONTRACT TO NOC

March 28, 2008

Analysis of:Protecting EADS | www.ft.com

Stock ownership of EADS should not be a factor in Boeing's protest of the award to NOC. Boeing's appeal to the US Congress to reverse a decision by the "war fighters" who will use the plane is ill-advised and we believe it should fail. By making this a campaign issue, Boeing supporters are impugning the integrity of the source selection process.
