Cheryl,        

1 .4(D) I took a call around noon from Dieuseul Valcin who asked that I schedule a meeting with him, you, and me this Friday afternoon to talk about a $30-$35 billion dollar oil refinery that the Saudis want to build in Haiti tos Nice the U.S. market. He said he re resents a French Com an involved in this

PEG, SA.

Valcin said he was of Haitian Origin, did not work for PEG, SA, but was helping them with this refinery project.

Krish found the attached link on Google, citing PEG SRS man in Haiti, Marc Antoine Destin (an apparent Haitian Presidential candidate in 2005) :

Tom
