We incurred liabilities for construction in progress that had not been paid at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 of $246.4 million and $201.6 million, respectively.  Such amounts are not included under the caption “Capital expenditures” on the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. 

 Third parties may be obligated to reimburse us for all or a portion of expenditures on certain of our capital projects.  The majority of such arrangements are associated with projects related to pipeline construction and producer well tie-ins.  These amounts are included under the caption “Contributions in aid of construction costs” on the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

Proceeds from asset sales and related transactions increased $226.4 million period-to-period, primarily from the sale of 4.45 million Energy Transfer Equity common units in May 2011 and certain non-strategic marine assets and NGL fractionation facilities during the first quarter of 2011.
