Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	INCOME TAXES: The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to the Lake Charles LNG Transaction (see Note 2). The Lake Charles LNG Transaction, which was treated as a sale for tax purposes, resulted in $81 million of incremental income tax expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the statutory rate differed from the effective rate primarily due to state income tax adjustments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the effective tax rate exceeded the statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes resulting from the SUGS Contribution and other internal restructuring activities.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.
