Narrative:

At FL260 observed 0 on the left engine oil quantity indicator. Oil pressure was steady and normal (47 psi). Left engine oil pressure began to decrease slowly. At 34 psi left engine was shutdown. At this point we were at normal descent point for landing at kmci. We declared an emergency and shot a visual straight in to runway 27 kmci. Landing was uneventful. ATC's handling after emergency declared was excellent. Maintenance informed us we had had a broken oil line and it cost a $255 part to repair engine. We were very happy to have followed our manual, and to have shutdown our engine as quickly as we did, maybe preventing more serious damage to the engine and a more serious emergency.

AT THIS POINT WE WERE AT NORMAL DSCNT POINT FOR LNDG AT KMCI. WE DECLARED AN EMER AND SHOT A VISUAL STRAIGHT IN TO RWY 27 KMCI. LNDG WAS UNEVENTFUL. ATC'S HANDLING AFTER EMER DECLARED WAS EXCELLENT.
