and timely file such Forms or Schedules with the

(3)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in

      The undersigned hereby grants to each attorney-in-fact full
power and authority to do and perform all and every act and
thing whatsoever requisite, necessary or proper to be done in
the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as
fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or

amendments thereto) with respect to the undersigned?s holdings
of and transactions in securities issued by DCP Midstream
