Phil Speaks on Retirement

[Palm]

And or the next CEO is in house. Earlier we've mentioned CV, but what about Gulf LNG project director Allan Zirgulis? He is a former Marathon guy and has excellent project experience. With the team he has around him he would have all the support that Phil mentioned would be needed by the new CEO. Phil specifically stated the need for this support by the new guy. A seasoned veteran of the industry who is already a CEO might not need the level of support Phil seems to be indicating. Zirgulis ALREADY has options and some of those are performance options. The "next stage" is the LNG project stage; he's been involved with that since he's been on board. Interviews for outside CEOs is not a leak we've heard about; seems strange.
