I'd be happy to input any that you might have prior to forwading to Secretary Summers.
dev33
Phil and I will have a list of potential contacts from the business community to review in the next couple of hours.
dev33
If you need anything, don't hesitate to contact me.
dev33
Perhaps you and Phil and I could touch base later today or this evening to talk about next steps.
dev33
Thanks again for your efforts.
dev33
Best, Jeff pager: 888.916.7184

Few things: Linda: Thanks very much for the call and the help.Tyson is calling John Doer (sp?) to try to get him in the loop.
dev33
And she agreed to send the proposal to Summers today.
dev33
Proposal to follow.
dev33
I'm working with a guy named Phil Verleger (MIT economist type who worked in Ford and Carter), who I met at the meeting on Saturday, to come up with a list of individuals with Democratic, contributor, business community credientials that can be contacted to seek support for the proposal.
dev33
Any suggested contacts that folks have would be helpful.
dev33
John Nesslage (who works for Jim) is running some numbers to get an idea of the size of rate increases required to pay back the loans under a 10-year term structure The UC Berkeley econ/biz school faculty members I met with on Saturday want to issue a press release stating there view on "what not to do" (i.e., don't have the state take over anything, period).
dev33
They want to give us a copy to review for comments/edits before they issue it.
dev33
I should be getting tonite or first thing in the AM tomorrow.
dev33
May not go anywhere, but I told them that I'd be happy to review it.
dev33
Jeff
dev33
you alive?
dev33
In office all week.
dev33
go ahead and copy from this and give it a go.
dev33
you will get a few returns, but the rest should go.
dev33
if it completely crashes on you, let me know.
dev33
and thanks for the summaries and updates.
dev33
please keep them coming.
dev33
what's your cell phone #?best, jeff
dev33
what time?
dev33
David: Great start.
dev33
My biggest comment: needs to be shorter (thank the attention span of the press and the political process for that).
dev33
I talked to Phil.
dev33
He's got an editor that he works with who can help.
dev33
I recommend that we have the editor try to boil it down to an "editorial" size piece.
dev33
Thoughts?
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Tyson has gotten a call-back from the governor's office.
dev33
She's going to call him back shortly to try to sell him on the plan (i.e., private sector to the rescue) and ensure that he'll come to the party.
dev33
She'll call me back as soon as she talks to him.
dev33
Curious--do we have any sense of whether there's much activity within the adminstration on this, or can we expect the wait and see approach to continue?
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Thanks.
dev33
FYI: Tyson will also be at Davos.
dev33
Suggested list of business leaders to try to bring on board to follow.
dev33
Though I didn't have a problem with the course agenda, I'm comfortable with the alternative.
dev33
great idea.
dev33
Leslie: Jeff and Susan might be able to help with the pipeline charges.
dev33
Susan: I'm not ignoring you.
dev33
Of course I'll come.
dev33
Give me a call and let's figure out a date for me to address your illustrious group.
dev33
Jeff: How's married life treating you.
dev33
Leslie: Sorry for all the extraneous babbling.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Greetings Chris and Jeff: I'd love to, but unfortunately I'll be in New York from Sunday through Tuesday.
dev33
Sue, can you handle?
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
the 14th and the 14th (seriously, sorry---that work)!
dev33
Is there any migration risk, i.e., can customers choose in Connecticutt?
dev33
That will be one of the first questions.
dev33
I forgot Bank of America: Hugh L. McColl, Jr., Chairman and CEO
dev33
John Nesslage have any luck coming up with what sort of $/kwh we'd be looking at with a private sector bailout?
dev33
Here's the suggested list of business leaders to try to bring into the deal.
dev33
All comments are welcome and appreciated.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Here's the list.
dev33
Comments?
dev33
I'm going to go ahead and send it to her.
dev33
Michael Tribolet: In response to your question, yes, Edison did file in federal district court in L.A. The filing asks the judge to force the CPUC to 1) declare that the rate free is over and 2) raise rates to compensate Edison for its undercollections.
dev33
(Recall that this filing comes on the heels of the court agreeing to hear Edison's case asserting that the CPUC must let Edison pass through the power purchase costs to customers.) The filing is apparently very large.
dev33
The lawyers at the CPUC have a copy but said that it's much too large to make a copy and aren't willing to give it to us to make a copy for ourselves.
dev33
Question to the lawyers: Do we have contacts in L.A. that can go to the courthouse and get a copy of the filing for us?
dev33
Probably a good idea to have that filing passed around to this distribution list.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Mary Beth: Thanks very much for passing these along to Laura Tyson.
dev33
There are two documents.
dev33
One is a word file with a suggested list of business leaders that we might bring into the discussions.
dev33
Please let the Dean know that it's a first cut and that all comments, suggestions, edits, etc. to the document are welcome and appreciated.
dev33
The second is a pdf file from Credit Suisse First Boston giving CSFB's analysis of what's going on in California.
dev33
I think it provides further proof that California is still looking for, and ought to be very receptive to, a proposal like the one that we're working on.
dev33
Could you let me know that you've received this?
dev33
Thanks again.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
This looks like a job for Dave and/or Sam.
dev33
"Katie Kaplan" Please respond to kaplan
dev33
You're a star.
dev33
I'll let you know.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
P.S.
dev33
Please let Marathon know that the information they're providing is both greatly appreciated and highly valued and we hope that they can continue to poke around and fill us in on what they hear.
dev33
Great having multiple data points.
dev33
Best, Jeff

Dear Gang: I don't know about you folks, but I woke up to over 100 emails from Telecom Reports today.
dev33
It seems to border on spam at this point.
dev33
Is anyone else having this experience?
dev33
The info is very valuable, but I'm wondering if there's a way to get, say, 3 emails a day rather than the 50 or more I'm currently receiving.
dev33
Wondering if the lights will stay on today, Jeff
dev33
Are we talking 10 hours worth of work for this pleading?
dev33
If so, then $2500 seems good.
dev33
in the attempt to delete the millions of emails i've received from Telecom Reports, i deleted your Western Gov update before reading it.
dev33
could you resend?
dev33
your pal,
dev33
will do.
dev33
thought that you were already on.
dev33
It's fun and games every day (can't wait to catch up---you will howl (or cry, not sure which)).
