Surface Transportation Board Chairman Roger Nober today provided a schedule
of speakers' appearances and their time allocations for the STB's November
16, 2005 oral argument in the case entitled Government of the Territory of
Guam v. Sea-Land Service, Inc., American President Lines, Ltd., and Matson
Navigation Company, Inc., STB Docket No. WCC-101.

Speaking on behalf of the Government of the Territory of Guam (Guam), the
complainant in this proceeding, Edward D. Greenberg will be allotted 30
minutes' argument time.  The defendants, Horizon Lines LLC (Horizon) and
Matson Navigation Company, Inc. (Matson) collectively will have 30 minutes'
argument time.  Jonathan Benner will speak on behalf of Horizon and Richard
A. Allen on behalf of Matson.

As initially announced in an STB decision issued on October 3, 2005, the
oral argument will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 16, 2005, in
Room 760, the agency's hearing room, on the 7th Floor of the agency's
headquarters in the Mercury Building, 1925 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.

This proceeding involves a complaint filed with the STB by Guam challenging
the reasonableness of the rates, rules, classifications and practices for
transportation provided by Sea-Land Service, Inc., now known as Horizon
Lines, LLC; and Matson Navigation Company, Inc., in the noncontiguous
domestic trade (transportation between points in the United States mainland
and points in Alaska, Hawaii, or U.S. territories or possessions).  The
complaint also seeks damages.

The STB requests that all persons attending the oral argument use the
Mercury Building's main entrance at 1925 K Street (on the northeast corner
of the intersection of 20th and K Streets).  There will be no reserved
seating.  Please plan to arrive early enough to be seated no later than
9:45 a.m.  For security reasons, all persons should be prepared to produce
photo identification (such as a driver's license), pass through a metal
detector, and submit to an inspection of all briefcases, handbags, and any
other bags.  Visitors must be cleared through security in the STB's Suite
100 (on the 1st Floor, at the top of the ramp to the left of the main
lobby) prior to being escorted to the hearing room.

The schedule of speakers' appearances and time allocations was provided in
