2008 DeWitt World Petrochemical Conference Speech Book is organized consistent with the flow of the Conference. Speeches are displayed in the order presented and grouped by Session. Should a speech not be included in this book, either the speech was not received by us or Corporate Policy forbids release.

In principle, we strive to avoid editing the speeches given at our Conference. Occasionally this may result in an unpopular or blatantly political statement. In this event, we would simply say that the speech represents the opinion of the speaker and not necessarily those of DeWitt & Company.
