I participate in the Federal Thrift Savings Plan, but it is my understanding that this asset need not be listed.

All individual assets held in brokerage accounts are individually disclosed in report.

The double listing of certain investments is due to the fact that some are in

name. I have not designated which are

assets, but I list them

separately because they are individual holdings which might be sold separ:

y

ure time.

Various investment accounts held at Bear Steams were, during the calendar year 2008, transferred to RBC's (Royal Bank of Canada) Wealth Management facility

in Chicago. I have deleted last year's reference to Bear Steams and now list the assets solely under Royal Bank of Canada (RBC). Accordingly, the individual

investments are listed under the heading Bear Steams/RBC. The transition of investments occurred over some weeks. These are non-discretionary accounts.

In previous years, the Union League Club was listed under "V. Gifts." Based upon further information, and upon the opinion of the Committee on Codes of

Conduct, the monthly fees paid by judges are equal to fees paid by younger members, clergy and military. The fees exceed the overhead costs to the club, and

the privileges accorded are less than those accorded regular members. In the opinion of the Committee on Codes of Conduct, this fee classificiation does not

constitute a "gift" under the Ethics in Government Act.

There is a possibility that I list some small number of low value assets that I no longer own (as some of my prior notes explain). My practice is not to delist assets

until | have documentation that I no longer own it; it is beter to be over-inclusive.
