it's so important to fight and to win this war against the terrorists. So it's
a source of concern.

On your question about the Hudson River, EPA Administrator Whitman and the
EPA are moving forward on this cleanup of the Hudson River. The Administrator
has made it clear the EPA will continue to have an open process that involves
all the interested parties, including the people in the affected communities.
So that's really the only information I have on it. You may want to talk to
EPA. But they are moving forward.

of retail competition. The coops strongly oppose proposals to privatize the PMAs or curtail
Rural Utility Service assistance.

Industrial consumers (Electricity Consumers Resource Council, Chemical Manufacturers
Association, American Petroleum Institute) and Commercial consumers (National Retail
Federation, National Restaurant Association) want rapid restructuring, mandated retail
competition, and oppose recovery of utilities stranded costs

Consumer groups (Consumer Federation of America, American Association of Retired Persons)
are concerned that most benefits from restructuring will yo to large industrial and commercial
customers, with few gains -- and possible adverse impacts -- for small consumers. They tend to
oppose stranded cost recovery and favor statc-Icvel decision making on retail competition. They
strongly support labeling requirements and measures intended to preserve public benefits
currently provided by monopoly utilities such as public bencfit or universal service funds.

Enyironmental groups (Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, Environmental Defense
Fund) and Renewable Energy Producers (Solar Energy Industries Association, American Wind
Energy Association) are generally willing to support electricity restructuring if their concerns
about potential air quality impacts and investments in energy efficiency and renewable
technology are addressed. ‘lhey support provisions on air qualily, particularly those focused on
Midwest coal-fired generation that is subject to less stringent regulation, a renewable portfolio
standard, public benefit fund and green labeling.

Labor Unions (International Brotherhood of Electric Workers, United Mine Workers) are very
concerned about the impact of restructuring on workers, particularly the likelihood that efforts lo
increase the efficiency of electricity utilities could lead to extensive job losses. They oppose
federal competition mandates, preferring that if restructuring occurs issues be resolved at the
State level. They arc also concemed that restructuring could lead to diminished reliability as
utilities cut back on spending for transmission and distribution operation and maintenance.

They believe that workers that lose their jobs due to restructuring should be treated as a “stranded
investment.”

Public Interest Consumer Groups (Public Citizen, U.S. PIRG) strongly oppose stranded cost
recovery and support environmental/sustainable energy measures such as the Renewable
Portfolio Standard, Public Benefit Fund, and further restrictions on electricity generation air
emissions.

State regulators (National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners) as a group tend to
support the move to retail competition and are implementing it many States. Their primary

concern is to protect state regulatory authority. They oppose a Federal mandate for retail
competition. Many state regulators support a federal public benefits matching fund.

APPENDIX
DISCUSSION
A Brief History of Regulation, Monopoly and Competition in the Electric Industry

Phase 1; State and Local Regulation of Monopolies

The electric utility industry long has been viewed as a natural monopoly. Initially, electric
utilities were primarily regulated by local governments through the grant of a monopoly
franchise. As the industry grew, State regulation of franchises and utility rates was established in
the early 1900s to replace or supplant local regulation. During this phase the federal role in
regulating the industry was very limited

During the 1920's electric utility holding companies began accumulating most of the control of
the industry. By the late 1920's the 16 largest electric utility holding companies controlled more
than 75% of all U.S. generation. Many of these holding companics cngaged in self-dealing and
other abuses that eluded state regulators because the holding companies’ activities were
interstate. With the onset of the Depression, many of these holding companies collapsed.

Phase 2: The New Deal — Federal Regulation and Market Participation

The failure of many of the electric utility holding companies and other factors provided the
impetus for the creation ofa federal electricity regulatory structure and direct federal
participation in the electricity sector. These Depression-cra statutes, including the Federal
Power Act Amendments of 1935, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the
Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933, the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 and the
Bonneville Project Act of 1937, have evolved considerably over the past 60 years, but their basic
underpinnings have remained unchanged. These statutes, in combination with state utility
regulation of retail electric sales, remain the basic regulatory framework for the clectricity
industry.

Title I of the Public Utilities Act of 1935, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935
(PUHCA) gave the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) power to regulate holding
companies. Under the Act, the SEC was given the power to break up large interstate utility
holding companies by requiring them to divest their holdings until each company became a
single consolidated system serving a circumscribed geographic area. Furthermore, holding
companies were only allowed to engage in business that was essential and appropriate for the
operation of a single integrated electric utility. For all intents and purposes this eliminated the
participation of nonutilities in the wholesale electric power industry. Under PUHCA, multi-state
holding companies must register with the SEC. By 1950 the reorganization under PUHCA was
virtually complete and created the vertical electric utility system that exists today.

Title It of the Public Utilities Act (The Federal Power Act) empowered the Federal Power
Commission (FPC), which previously had regulated only hydroelectricity generation, to oversee

in a separate phone call to Commerce Secretary Don Evans, Lay similarly worried
that the company might have to Gefault on its obligations. He brought to the
secretary's attention “‘that he was having problems with his bond rating and he
was worried about its impact on the energy sector,'' Fleischer said.

After that conversation, Evans spoke to O'Neill “‘and they both agreed no action
should be taken to intervene with their bond holders,'’ Fleischer said.

The spokesman had said Wednesday he did not know of anyone in the White House
who Giscusse ‘or.'s financi. situation.

Fleischer also brushed aside talk of any conflict in the Justice Department
investigation and said there was no reascn to turn the probe over to a special
counsel.

Lay gave $25,009 te a leadership committee headed by then-senator and now
Atzorney General Ichn Ashcroft, according to the Center for Public Integrity.
An attorney for Enron welcomed Ashcroft's inquiry, the latest in a series of
governmental probes into the company's demise, saying the investigation would
““bring light to the facts.''

“"wWe want to get te the bottom of this too,'' said Robert Bennett, a Washington
attorney representing the Houston-based company. ““A lot of decent and honorable
people work at Enren and we should wait until the facts are out.'’

Bush ordered a separate review Thursday of pension and corporate disclosure
rules that could jeopardize workers’ savings. ““There has been a wave of
bankruptcies that have caused many workers to lose their pensions and that is
deeply troubling to me,'' Bush said.

The Justice Department is forming a national task force to look into the
company's dealings. The group will be headed by lawyers at the department's
criminal division and include prosecutors in Houston, San Francisco, New York
and several other cities, said a Justice Department official, speaking on
condition of anonymity.

The official declined to say when the investigation began. Enron faces civil
investigations by the Labér Department and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and subpoenas from congressional committees.

All are looking into the energy trading company's collapse, the largest
bankruptcy filing in U.S. history.

The failure hit employees and investors hard. Workers were prohibited from
selling company stock from their Enron-heavy 401(k) retirement accounts as the
company's stock plummeted. Many lost their life's savings.

Enron executives cashed out more than $1 billion in stock when it was near its
peak.

Fermer Enron chief executive Jeffrey Skilling, who left the helm nearly two
months before the company's swift descent, welcomes the investigation, said
spokeswoman Judy Leon. Skilling has said he had no idea, despite Enron's falling
stock values, that the company was on the brink of failure.

Formed in 1985, Enron had 20,000 employees and was once the world's top buyer
of natural gas and the largest electricity marketer in the United
also marketed coal, pulp, paper, plastics, metals and fiber-optic “

focus of the Justice Department investigation is possible fraud based
on Enron's heavy reliance on off-balance-sheet partnerships which took on Enron
debt. The partnerships masked Enron's financial problems and left its credit
ratings healthy so it could obtain the cash and credit crucial to running its
trading business.

The Houston-based company went bankrupt after its credit collapsed and its main
rival, Dynegy Inc., backed out of an $8.4 billion buyout plan late last year.
Just a year ago, stock of Enron, the nation's largest buyer and seller of
natural gas, traded at $85 per share. Today it is less than $1.

Lay has close ties to Bush and his father, the former president. Lay was a top
contributer to the younger Bush's 2000 presidential campaign.

The company played a key role earlier this year when a White House task force
met with business executives and other interests to fashion a national energy
policy. The task force was headed by Vice President Dick Cheney.

re $2£,000 te a lesdership committee headed by then-senator and row
7 General John Ashcroft, according to the Center for Public Integrity.
te orrey for Enron welcomed Ashcroft's inquiry, the latest in a series of
governmer.tal probes into the company" s demise, saying the investigation would

“pring light to the facts.
“‘#le want to get to the bottom of this too,'' said Robert Bennett, a Washington
attorney representing the Houston-based company. “A lot of decent and honorable
work at Enzon and we should wait until the facts are out.''
in erdered a separate review Thursday of pension and corporate disclosure
rules that could jeopardize workers' savings. ““There has been a wave of
bank pecies. that have caused many workers to lose their pensions and that is
dee; troubling to me,’' Bush said.
The dusté ce Department is forming a national task force to look into the
company's dealings. The group will be headed by lawyers at the department's
criminal civision and include prosecutors in Houston, San Francisco, New York
several other cities, seid a Justice Department official, speaking on
condition of anonymity.
The official declined to say wnen the investigation began. Enren faces civil
investigations by the Labor Department and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and subpoenas from congressional committees.
All are locxing into the energy trading company's collapse, the largest
bankruptcy liag in U.S. history.
The failure nit employees and investors hard. Workers were prohibited from
se_ling company stock from their Enron-heavy 401(k) retirement accounts as the
company's stock plummeted. Many lost their life's savings.
Enron executives cashed out more than $1 billion in stock when it was near its
peak.
Former Enron chief executive Jeffrey Skilling, who ieft the helm nearly two
months before the company's swift descent, welcomes the investigation, said
spokeswoman Judy Leon. Skilling has said he had no idea, despite Enron's falling
stock values, that the company was on the brink of failure.
Formed in 1985, Enron had 20,000 employees and was once the world's top buyer
and seller of natural gas and the largest electricity marketer in the United
States. It also marketed coal, pulp, paper, plastics, metals and fiber-optic
bandwidth.
One likely focus of the Justice Department investigation is possible fraud based
on Enron's heavy reliance on off-balance-sheet partnershios which took on Enror
debt. The partnerships masked Enron's financial problems and left its credit
ratings healthy so it could obtain the cash and credit crucial to running its
trading business.
The Eeouston-based company went bankrupt after its credit collapsec and its main
rival, Dynegy inc., backed out of an $8.4 billion buyout plan late last year.
Just a year ago, stock of Enron, the nation's largest buyer and selier of
natural gas, traded at $85 per share. Today it is less than $1.
Lay has close ties to Bush and his father, the former president. Lay was a top
centriduter to the younger Bush's 2000 presidential campaign.
2 company played a key role earlier this year when a White House task force
ne th business executives and other interests to fashion a national energy
policy. The task force was headed by Vice President Dick Cheney.

Q Do you know if the President was at least aware of it?
MR. FLEISCHER: As I say, I don't have anything beyond that.

Q Ari, why do we have to be referred to the State Department on that? I
mean way can't we -- can't we know if the administration is having conversations
with Yasser Arafat?

MR. FLEISCHER: Because I think you'll get -- well, if you ask me about the
President, [ can report to you the President has not. If you ask about
Ambassador Zinni --

Q -- the Security Council? I mean, obviously, everybody around here
knows, don't they?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, I don't have a phone list of everything that Zinni is
doing. He's in the Mideast -- :

Q That's not the issue. Are there -- do you know of any contacts with
Yasser Arafat?

MR. FLEISCHER: His direct report is to the State Department, which is why
I said refer you to the State Department.

Q But everybody reports to the President, don't they? I'm asking you as
the President's spokesman why you can't comment on whether the administration
has contact with Yasser Arafat when they're in the middle of war over there.

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, if you ask me about the President, I'll give you that
answer.

Q Ari, following up on this situation at Arlington, we just spoke with
the spokesman for the Army Secretary who says there has been no reversal, that
they can bury this man in an existing family plot, but not in a separate grave
as his family has requested. What are the prospects that the President might
get involved and overrule this?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, again, I said this is a matter for the Department of
Defense, the Department of Army. If there's anything further to be added to it,
you will know from the White House.

But these are always very sensitive and difficult matters. Arlington
National Cemetery is the final resting place where countless numbers of
Americans want to be buried. Arlington National Cemetery is also a place that
is running out of space. It makes for some of the most difficult emotional
issues for the families of loved ones who have been lost in any type of military
or any other type of action, having served in the military, also with a nation
that wants to honor its promises te people who will be able to be buried into
Ariington in the future.

It is always a very emotional and difficult issue, and the military has
very stringent rules that they try to comply with, because it makes it easier
for everybody to understand what the criteria are. So that's why the Department
of the Army is the one who is charged with this. They worked very hard at it,
and they understand the sensitivities involved.

Q So are we to take the initial part of your response as an indication
that the President might get involved? You said --

MR. FLEISCHER: No, I just said to you -- you asked me and I told you, you
know where it stands, that the Department of the Army made the announcement made
this morning, and that's where it stands.

Q Te follow up on Ken's question and the point he was making on the
Middle East, why can't you tell us as the White House spokesman, what, if any,
contacts White House officiais -- Card, Karl Rove -- has had on this issue with
the Department of the Army?

President Promotes Economic Security & Worker Assistance
TODAY'S PRESIDENTIAL ACTION

> President Bush visits Operation Paycheck — a job training center in Orlando, Florida — to emphasize his concern and
his plans to help workers who lost their jobs in the wake of the September 11 attacks. The President also leads a
town hall meeting with local citizens from a community adversely impacted by the September 11 attacks to discuss
economic concems and America's efforts in the war on terrorism.

The attacks of September 11 were also an attack on our economy. President Bush continues to urge Congress to
act on an economic security package to help America’s workers.

BACKGROUND ON THE PRESIDENT'S VISIT

> The President visits the newest Operation Paycheck One-Stop Center in Orlando. Operation Paycheck is a program
of the State of Florida's Agency for Workforce Innovation that helps laid-off workers obtain the skills they need to

quickly transition into a new job. A significant number of the workers in the Operation Paycheck program are from
the service sector, including the tourism and aviation industries.

The One-Stop Center is an example of how an effective state-federal partnership can quickly get assistance to the
displaced workers who need it. Florida is implementing the Operation Paycheck program with $10 million in existing
dislocated worker funds from the Department of Labor. The program will further benefit from a portion of the $3.4
million in new National Emergency Grant funds that the Department of Labor approved for Florida this week. With
these funds, qualifying employees are eligible for income support and job training.

THE PRESIDENT’S AGENDA FOR ECONOMIC SECURITY & WORKER RELIEF

> President Bush has urged Congress to act on an economic security package to jumpstart the economy and directly
help workers who have lost their jobs in the wake of the September 11 attacks.

The President proposed a Back to Work Relief Package on October 4 to provide help to those workers hardest hit by
the economic impact of the attacks. This package would:

Extend unemployment benefits by 13 weeks for workers in the states hardest hit by the events of September 11;
Provide $3 billion in special National Emergency Grants to help displaced workers maintain health coverage,
supplement their income and receive job training;

Make $11 billion available to states to help low-income workers obtain health insurance; and

Encourage affected workers to take advantage of more than $6 billion in existing federal job search, training and
placement programs.

> The President initially urged Congress on October 5 to enact an economic security package that focuses on:

> Accelerating Marginal Tax Rate Reductions: Gives consumers more to spend and invest, and gives businesses
and entrepreneurs more resources to help them retain or create more jobs.
Partial Expensing: Encourages businesses to invest in new equipment and resources by allowing them to
partially expense capital expenditures, allowing them to make purchases they might not otherwise have been
able to afford
Eliminating the Corporate AMT: Promotes new investment by businesses by eliminating the corporate
alternative minimum tax, which imposes job-killing higher taxes on corporations and small businesses.
Tax Relief for Low- and Moderate-Income Workers: Reduces taxes for low- and moderate-income households
beyond relief already approved by Congress, ensuring that the most vulnerable workers will have more money in
their pockets.

the interstate transmission and wholesale marketing of power. In 1977, the FPC became the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

The other facet of the New Deal effort to combat monopoly power and the other problems in the
electricity industry, such as the failure to serve many rural areas, was dircct federal participation
in the electricity market through the enactment of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933,
the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 and the Bonneville Project Act of 1937. The results of
these efforts are still evident today as the federal government produces about 10 percent of the
electricity consumed in the United States and also has over $30 billion in outstanding loans to
tural electric cooperatives.

Through the 1950's and 1960's the electric industry functioned through regulated natural
monopolies: prices remained low and consumers were generally satisfied with service provided
by the utilities. However, beginning in 1965 with the blackout in the northeast, the Arab oil
embargo of 1973 (from October 1973 until March 1974 with prices increasing threefold) and the

Three Mile Island nuclear accident, confidence in the electricity industry, operating as it was,
began lo erode.

5. Public Benefit Fund (PBF)

[(b)(5)] $1.4 billion Public Benefit Fund to provide matching
‘lunds to States tor low-income assistance, energy efficiency programs, consumer education, and
emerging renewable energy technologies. The PBF would be funded through a generation or
transmission fee of up to 0.5 mills per kilowatt hour, which would amount to about 25 cents per.
month for a typical household.

None of the comprehensive restructuring bills include a PBF. However both the Jeffords and
DeFazio bills include large PBFs funded by.a fee of up to 2 mills per kWh, for a total fund size
of about $6 billion.

6. Air Quality

((b)(5)]

The Markey bill provides EPA with additional authority to regulate carbon dioxide, sulfur

. dioxide and nitrogen oxide, including the ability to institute cap and trade systenis.
Bumpers/Gorton includes an air quality study. The Jeffords and Pallone bills also provide EPA
with broad additional authority to regulate air quality. The other restructuring bills do not address
air quality. :

TV. Stakeholder Views

What follows is a description of the views of various stakeholder and predictions as to their
likely reaction to the Administration proposal. These predictions are based upon the
presumption that we will have the opportunity to consult with stakeholders prior to release of our
proposal.

competition mandates, and would like Congress to ensure 100% recovery of stranded costs

that are burdensome to them such as the Public Utility Holding Company Act (PUHCA) and the
Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA). A second tier issue for some are privatization
of the federal power marketing administrations (PMAs) and a requirement that municipal utilities
refinance existing tax-exempt debt with taxable debt. Most Oppose proposals to address utility

cost Midwestem utilities subject to less stringent air regulation.

Low-cost IOUs want to move fast, support a federal mandate on retail competition, and are less

10Us in Retail Choice States such as California, Pennsylvania, and Illinois generally support
comprehensive federal restructuring legislation because they believe it is unfair for their formerly
exclusive home markets to be open to utilities from other States that retain the benefits of State-
sanctioned monopolies. They also strongly support a federal “grandfather” of State retail
competition statutes so they do not‘have to rehash issues, such as stranded cost recovery, worked
out at the State level.

White House: Enron Official Phoned

ULLO, Associated Pzess Writer

IN {AB} - Enron Chairman Kenneth L. Lay reached out to two of President
s Cabinet officers when the energy company was collapsing, the White House
disclosed Thursday as the Justice Department opened a criminal investigation of
Enron's bankruptcy.

executives, said he himself has never discussed Enron's financial problems with
s embattled corporate chairman. The president said he last saw Lay in Texas at
spring funé-raiser for former first lady Barbara Busn's literacy foundation.
Lay also was among a group of some 20 business lead who came to the White
House early in the Bush administration to discuss the state of the economy, Bush
said.

Many ron employees lost their life savings wnen the company filed for
bankruptcy Dec. 2.

“What anybody's going to find out is that this admin ation will fully
investigate issues such as the Enron bankruptcy, to make sure we can learn from
the past and make sure workers are protected,'' Bush said.

Bur Lay did seek the ear of other top-level administration officials last fall.
to White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, Lay telephoned Treasury
y Paul O'Neill amid Enron's collapse ““to advise him about his concern
the obligations of Enron and whether they would be able tc meet those

obligations.''
Lay also told O'Neill that Enron “was heading to bankruptcy, '’ Fleischer said.
O'Neill received calis from Lay on Oct. 28 and Nov. 8, said Treasury spokeswoman

Michele Davis. as on Oct. 16 that Enron made its stunning disclosure cf a
$628 millior third-quarter loss.

In a separate phone call to Commerce Secretary Don Evans, Lay similarly worried
thet the company might have te default on its obligations. brought to the
secretary's attention “‘that he was having problems with his bond rating and he
was worried about its impact on the energy sector,'' Fleischer said.

After that conversation, Evans spoke to C'Neiil “‘and they both agreed no action
nould be taken to intervene with their bond holders,‘' Fleischez said.

ne spokesman had said Wednesday he did not know of anyone in the White Eouse
ho discussed Enron's financiel situation.

Fieischer also brushed aside talk of any conflict in the Justice Department
investigation and said there was no reason to turn the probe over to a special

generation that is subject to less stringent regulation, a renewables portfolio standard, public

carbon cap and trade provision in the bill in light of the climate agreement reached in Kyoto.

Likely Reaction: {(b) (5)]

Political Clout: (b)(5)]

Public Interest groups (Public Citizen, U.S. PIRG) have views that are similar to those of
environmentalists but strongly oppose stranded cost recovery.

Likely Reaction: {(b(5)]

Political Clout: [(p)(5)]

Labor Unions (International Brotherhood of Electric Workers, United Mine Workers) are very
concerned about the'impact of restructuring on workers, particularly the likelihood that efforts to
increase the efficiency of electricity utilities could lead to extensive job losses. They oppose
federal competition mandates, preferring that if, restructuring occurs issues be resolved at the Sate
level. They are also concerned that restructuring couild Jead to diminished Teliability as utilities
cut back on spending for transmission and distribution operation and maintenance. Broad new
air quality authority for EPA will likely generation the same union opposition as the
Administration’s climate change initiative.

In an carly effort to address labor’s concems we proposed that displaced utility workers be
eligible for assistance from. the Public Benefit Fund. .In response, labor demurred because they
believe that this policy could undercut their position that workers that lose their jobs due to
restructuring should be treated as a “stranded investment.”

Likely Reaction: {(b)(5)]

Political Clout: [(b)(5)]
States (National Governors Association, National Association of Regulatory Utility
Commissioners) as a group tend to support the move to retail competition and are implementing
it in many States. Their primary concem is to protect state regulatory authority. They oppose a

that a new -- an entirely new procedure has been put in place to help the Senate
to complete its work.

e Let me ask you about fast track authority, which, as you said, is an
uphill fight, hasn't been approved for a President since 1994. Dick Gephardt is
the leader of the House, a Democrat. He opposed it then, he hasn't stopped
opposing it. What makes the President believe that this time he'll get the
votes? He needs at least 30 Democratic votes.

MR. FLETSCHER: Well, that's why I make no predictions about how votes will
go. This has been in modern times a very difficult issue. Sut because the
President believes in it so strongly, because of the points I made earlier about
its ability to create jobs on the home front and give the President the
authority he needs when he meets with heads of state and others to negotiate
trade agreements, the President is hopeful that the power of reason and the
principle behind free trade will convince enough members of Congress to put it
over the top. We'll see.

Q Ari?
MR. FLEISCHER: Lester?

fey All nine Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have
charged that Chairman Patrick Leahy has used what they termed, quote,
"misleading statistics," to try to defend what they charge is a disgraceful
effort to block President Bush's judicial nominees. And my question: Does the
President agree with these nine fellow Republicans, and what does he think of
Leahy's cbjections to military tribunals?

MR. FLEISCHER: You're asking two questions, one on judicial nominees and
the other on tribunals.

Q Make it one. (Laughter.) Does he agree with the other Republicans?

MR. FLEISCHER: I'm not sure how to make that one. Well, military
tribunals, I think you've heard that directly from the President himself, and as
I said earlier, the President is respectful of those who represent the minority
point of view, but that is their right. The President clearly disagrees.

Q He disagrees with Leahy, doesn't he, and he agrees with the nine
Republicans?

MR. FLEISCHER: I would ask you for further amplification. Mischievous
two-part, one question. .

Q U.S. Attorney for the southern district of New York, Mary Jo White,
was assigned the criminal investigation of last January's Clinton pardons. But
she is now retiring, and there has not been even a report after 11 months. And
my question: Can you assure us, Ari, that the President is neither considering
a Jerry Ford-type pardon of the presidential predecessor, nor planning that this
criminal investigation, so long out of the news, will just expire and kind of
let bygones be bygones?

MR. FLEISCHER: Lester, I have no information for you on any presidential
pardons. And anything dealing with a matter that's under investigation by the
Department of Justice needs to be --

Q Will it continue? Who is going to continue it? She's leaving.
MR. FLEISCHER: Anything involving investigations with the Department of
Justice are sensitive matters that need to be addressed to the Department of

Justice.

Q On trade promotion, as the President meets with members of the House
who are on the fence, is he prepared to do some horse trading?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, again, as I indicated, the President believes that

Stranded Costs.

(oS) Stranded costs are costs that were incurred by
utilities to serve their customers with the understanding that state regulatory commissions would
allow the costs lo be recovered through electric rates.

The Republican-controllea House passed such trade promotion authority by a
ceeply partisan 215-214 vote last month after the White House and Republican
leaders persuaded SOP holdouts to change sides. The Democratic-contrelled Senate
is due to vete early this year.

On agriculture] business, the Senate was unable to agree on a Democratic plan to
reauthorize farm programs through 2006. Most of the money in that bill would
continue to go to grain, cotton and soybean farms but also offer new subsidies
for a variety of additional commodities, including milk, honey and lentils. It
also would double spending on conservation.

The administration criticized both that bill and one passed by the House in
Qctoper and urged Congress to delay finishing work on them until this year. It
said both measures risk exceeding levels set in an international trade agreement
and provide tco much money to big farms that least need the assistance.

Bush focused om the economy at a time his administration's contacts with
now-bankrupt Enron Corp. are under intense scrutiny, and as the war on terrorism
continues.

“The economy is a concern for all Americans, especially for those out of
work,'' the president said in his weekly radic address Saturday. He outlined his
plan to extend unemployment anc health benefits for Americans who have lost
their jobs.

QO Ari, on the Middle East, since last weekend's suicide bombings, has
Mr. Arafat done anything to impress the President that, in fact, he is making a
commitment to peace and to rooting out terrorists?

MR, FLEISCHER: I think if you listen to what the President said yesterday
-- now, it's about 16 hours after what he said -- it's too soon to say. The
President will keep a very close eye on the events in the Middle East and on the
actions that Chairman Arafat takes, to make certain that Chairman Arafat is
dedicated to the cause of peace and to making sure that he takes action against
the terrorists who are challenging not only the security of Israel, but the
authority of Chairman Arafat.

Q But what's the timetable here? Because, I mean, day after day, the
President keeps calling on him to do something. I'm wondering when the
timetable, when the deadline is for Yasser Arafat.

MR. FLEISCHER: The President has not established it in such a manner. I
think that, as always, the President wants to allow events to develop over time
in a way that he hopes will be fruitful to convincing the parties in the Middle
East that their best interest is to work together, Chairman Arafat and Israel,
to forge meaningful peace. And one of the best tests of that will be to see
whether Chairman Arafat will take meaningful, long-term, enduring action against
the terrorists who are operating out of Palestinian territory.

Q But for now the peace process is dead, is it not, in the President's
mind?

MR. FLEISCHER: I think you heard the President address that yesterday,
when he said that he has ‘a dream that peace will be achieved in the Middle East.
And as I indicated earlier, the Middle East has historically been a cycle
between violence and hepe. And even in the midst of the violence, the President
has not given up hope and he will remain committed to achieving peace.

Q What has President Bush been told about the death of the two Americans
in Afghanistan under friendly fire this morning and how it happened?

MR. FLEISCHER: Upon his arrival into the White House, shortly before 7:00
a.m. this morning, the President was informed about the deaths of the Americans
and the injuries in Afghanistan that affected people of Afghanistan, as well.
And the President offers his condolences to the families and the loved ones of
these who have been killed, and he regrets the loss of life very much and also
wishes that the injured will have a full and speedy recovery.

Q And what caused it? Does he know anything about what went wrong?

MR. FLEISCHER: The Department of Defense will have more information about
any of the specifics, and I'll refer you over to DOD on it.

e What do you think your chances are in the trade vote tomorrow?

MR. FLEISCHER: Weli, I think it's risky business, always, to predict what
a congressional vote will be. It has historically been an uphill fight, at
least over the last some 10 years, for the President to be given this authority.
Buz the President thinks it is crucial that he be given the authority to enter
trade agreements around the world, one, to help protect the eccnomy
lo -term; but, two, to help other nations around the world so they have
opportunities to grow and prosper.

Q With the people he's meeting today, are they leaners or how do you see
them?

MR. FLEISCHER: They fall into a variety of categories. Clearly, he won't
meet with people whose minds are already made up and there's no use talking to
them. So the President is going to meet with people where he thinks it can make
a difference.

Bush Pushes Stimulus Plan

By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush journeyed to the Capitol on Wednesday to lobby
for legislation to help victims of the recession, but Senate Majority Leader Tom
Daschle said Republicans ~~refused to negotiate seriously'' over health care for
the unemployed.

With Bush's blessing, House GOP leaders readied a new economic stimulus bill for
a vote, including an additional 13 weeks of unemployment benefits and health
insurance subsidies for recession victims as well as tax breaks for individuals
and businesses. The cost was $216 billion over three years.

House passage was assured, given the GOP majority, although Democrats dismissed
the bill in advance as a political gesture that could not reach Bush's desk.

In the Democratic-controlled Senate, there appeared to be more than 50 votes for
the measure, and Republicans were discussing fresh concessions to win more
converts. But the GOP was unable to count the 60 votes needed to force final
approval over the opposition of Daschle and other members of his party.

In an unusual working visit to the Capitol, Bush met privately with moderate
House Democrats as well as a bipartisan group of senators, three Democrats among
them, who support the GOP measure. In brief remarks to reporters, Bush did not
mention Daschle by name, but his reference was unmistakable.

“°This bill will pass the House. It's got enough votes to pass the Senate,'' he
said. ~“And therefore, I look forward to working with both bodies (House and
Senate) in any way I can to convince those who are reluctant to get a bill done,
that this makes sense for America.''

His spokesman, Ari Fleischer, was more direct. ~~The president would be
delighted if Sen. Daschle were to sign on'' to the deal with moderate Democrats,
he said. ~~The president would be delighted if Sen. Daschle would let it come to
a vote.... Why block progress?''

Daschle, D-S.D., attacked regularly by Republicans as an obstructionist, saw it
differently.

INTRODUCTION

What does “restructuring” mean?

Restructuring means opening up parts of the electricity industry -- distribution and transmission
facilities -- to competition. Under the resulting new system, called “retail competition,”
consumers would be allowed to choose their own electricity suppliers much like they now choose
their long-distance telephone service provider. Electricity policy is moving in this direction
because of demands by customers that they be allowed to choose their own suppliers instead of
being captive to the local utility. Proponents of competition believe it will Icad to increased
efficiency in the industry and reduced costs to consumers. There is some data that attempts to
quantify these predicted benefits; these data are discussed below.

Under electricity restructuring, competition would replace regulation as the primary mechanism
to set electricity generation prices. Utilities would be required to open their distribution and
transmission wires to all qualified sellers. The transmission and distribution of electricity would
continue to be regulated because they will remain monopolies for the foreseeable future. Thus,
the system would be restructured, not completely deregulated.

How does the current system work?

Generally, under State law, electric utilities are monopolies that have both an exclusive right and
responsibility to serve all consumers in a particular area. Most utilitics are vertically integrated
suppliers of generation and distribution services to the end customer. The vast majority of states
regulate utility prices through a process known as cost-of-service or rate-of-return regulation.
State regulators set the rates that utilities may charge based on the {ull cost of generating,
transmilting and distributing electricity plus a fair ratc of return on the invested capital.

{(b)(5)]

.° OL/12¥98 MON 11:48 FAX @ooe

The flexible competition mandate would require all utilities to offer consumers the ability to
choose their own supplier by January 1, 2003 but provide States the ability to opt-out of this
requirement if they find that consumers in the State would be better served by’another policy.

This position places the Administration firmly in the middle of the road of the retail competition
debate.. At one end of the spectrum is legislation that mandates retail access for all utility
customers by a “date certain” notwithstanding State policies to the contrary.

[(b)(5)]

On thie other end of the spectrum is legislation that does not mandate retail competition but
instead removes various federal law impediments to both full wholesale competition and retail
competition. Legislation introduced by Senator Thomas (S. 722) and Senator Bingaman (S.
1276) takes this approach. Congressman Markey’s legislation (H.R. 1960) provides incentives
to utilities to provide for retail competition but does not mandate that such competition occur.

((b)(5)]

4, Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)

Presently, the proposal sets the portfolio requirement at 4.5% for non-hydro renewables in 2010.
The Schaefer bill also applies to non-hydro renewables and requires that a 4% threshold be met
in 2010. Markey has a 10% non-hydro renewable requirement in 2010. Jeffords establishes a
20% RPS requirement in 2020. Bumpers/Gorton includes an RPS and defines hydroelectricity

Political Clout: {(b)(5)]

Industrial consumers (Electricity Consumers Resource Council, Chemical Manufacturers
Association, American Petroleum Institute) and Commercial consumers (National Retail
Federation, National Restaurant Association) want rapid restructuring, mandated retail
competition, and oppose recovery of stranded costs.

Likely Reaction: [(b)(5)]

Political Clout: {(b)(5)]

Consumer groups (Consumer Federation of America, American Association of Retired Persons)
are concerned that most benefits from restructuring will go to large industrial and commercial
customers, with few gains -- and possible adverse impacts -- for,small consumers. They tend to
oppose stranded cost recovery and favor state-level decision making on retail competition. They
strongly support labeling requirements and measures to intended to preserve public benefits
currently provided by monopoly utilities through public benefit or universal service funds.

They are also concerned about potential market power in the newly competitive industry.

Likely reaction: [(b)(5)]
Political Clout: [(b)(5)]

Renewable Energy Industry (Solar Energy Industries Association, American Wind Energy
Association) strongly supports provisions such as the Renewable Portfolio Standard, Public
Benefit Fund, consumer disclosure requirements to facilitate green marketing and net metering.

Likely Reaction: (b)(5)]

Political Clout: [(b)(5)]

Environmental groups (Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, Environmental Defense
Fund) are generally willing to support electricity restructuring if their concems about potential .
air quality impacts and investments in energy efficiency and renewable technology are addressed.
They support provisions on air quality, particularly those focused on Midwest coal-fired

White House: Enron Official Phoned

By KAREN GULLC, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Enron Chairman Kenneth L. Lay reached out to two of President
Bush's Cabinet officers when the energy company was collapsing, the White House
Gisclosed Thursday as the Justice Department opened a criminal investigation of
Enron's bankruptcy.

Bush, who received significant campaign contributions from Lay and other Enron
executives, said he himself has never discussed Enron's financial problems w
its embattled corporate chairman. The president said he last saw Lay in Texas at
spring fund-raiser for former first lady Barbara Bush's literacy foundation.

Lay also was among a group of some 20 business leaders who came to the White
House early in the Bush administration to discuss the state of the economy, Bush
said.

Many Enron employees lost their life savings when the company filed for
bankruptcy Dec. 2.

““What anybody's going to find out is that this administration will fully
investigate issues such as the Enron bankruptcy, to make sure we can learn from
past and make sure workers are protected,'' Bush said.

But Lay did seek the ear of other top-level administration officials last fall.
According to White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, Lay telephoned Treasury
Secretary Paul O'Neill amid Enron's collapse ““to advise him about his concern
about the obligations of Enron and whether they would be able to meet those
ebligations.''

Lay also told O'Neili that Enron “‘was heading to bankruptcy,'' Fleischer said.
O'Neill received calls from Lay on Oct. 28 and Nov. 8, said Treasury spokeswoman
Michele Davis. It was on Oct. 16 that Enron made its stunning disclosure of a
$638 million third-quarter loss.

RE: Enron
All three major credit rating agencies downgraded Enron’s debt to jusik status today over
liquidity concems. Also, Dynegy announced that its takeover agreement with Enron was
terminated due to inadequate disclosure of Enron’s total indebtedness. As a result, Enron

said it will temporarily suspend all payments other than those necessery to maintain its
core operations. Enron’s online trading platform was shutdown this ¢fternoon.

competition.

The proposals also differ in their respective approaches to stranded cost recovery. Sen.
Bumpers’ proposal would allow utilities to fully recover fully stranded costs, Rep. DeLay’s bill
would prohibit any stranded cost recovery, while other bills leave the decision entirely to the
States.

Many of the bills cal] for the repeal of The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935
(PUHCA). This Act, passed during the Depression, is the piece of legislation which still governs
the electricity industry. It mandated regulated utilities be vertical monopolies. In its place,
FERC and the States would be given additional access to corporate books and records. Several
of the legislative proposals give FERC additional authority to address affiliate transactions,
mergers and market power.

Many of the bills repcal the mandatory purchase requirement of section 210 of the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) which sought to reform the vertically integrated electric utility
monopolies by making it possible for non utility electricity generators to sell power wholesale to
electric utilities. Rep. Markey’s bill would condition the repeal of PUHCA and section 210 of
PURPA on a Statc’s adoption of retail competition.

While a number of the legislative proposals make clear that States have the authority to provide
support for public benefits, several of the proposals have included specific provisions providing
support for public benefits. Bills offered by Rep. DeFazio and Sen. Jeffords include provisions
establishing a federal matching fund to support low-income customers, renewable resources,
energy efficiency, and research and development. Sen. Jeffords, Sen. Bumpers, Rep. Markey
and Rep. Schacfer have included provisions establishing a renewable portfolio standard.

Some of the proposals contain provisions addressing utility air emissions regulation. Sen.
Bumpers’ bill would require EPA to prepare a report on the effect of differing emissions
standards on competition; Rep. Markey and Sen. Jeffords would give [PA broad authority to set
emissions caps for a number of pollutants and to provide for a cap and trade system for these
pollutants.

Many of the bills also address a broad range of other issues, including clarification of
jurisdictional boundaries between federal government and states, reliability, consumer disclosure,
and universal service.

array of tax questions that they have said were important to them.... But to
date they have been unwilling to accept even a modicum of change, even some
degree of limited help for these unemployed workers in both unemployment
compensation as well as health care.''

Daschle also said, ~“We regret very much that our Republican colleagues, at
least so far, have refused to come to the table to negotiate seriously on health
and unemployment benefits in spite of the fact that millions of people are
unemployed today.''

The House bill approves 13 additional weeks of unemployment benefits for those
laid off since the March onset of the recession, money for health insurance
subsidies for the unemployed and rebates of up to $600 for lower-wage earners
who did not qualify for this summer's checks.

The bill also would cut the current 27 percent income tax rate to 25 percent
effective Jan. 1, four years earlier than planned. Beginning in 2002, that rate
applies to taxable income between $27,950 and $67,700 for individuals, and
between $46,700 and $112,850 for married couples.

In addition, the bill would let businesses write off 30 percent annually of the
cost of new investment’ for the next three years, and ease a corporate minimum
tax that can boost corporations' tax bills even in unprofitable years.

The main stumbling block concerned health insurance benefits for the unemployed.

The House GOP bill provides laid-off workers with a tax credit equal to 60
percent of the cost of a health insurance policy, money they could use to
purchase their own coverage if they wished.

Democrats want a direct 75 percent subsidy for job-related health insurance
coverage that many workers are eligible to keep after losing their jobs.

The money would go to the employer, rather than to the individual as Republicans
want. For laid-off workers who did not have health insurance on the job,
Democrats proposed expanded coverage under Medicaid, the federal-state program
that provides health care for the poor.

The House bill was crafted to incorporate many concessions that Republicans have
made in several weeks of bargaining with the Democrats, since the GOP muscled
through legislation on a party-line vote several weeks ago.

That bill did not include the additional 13 weeks of unemployment benefits, and
had a repeal of the alternative minimum tax that would have given billions of
dollars to large corporations, Enron and IBM among them.

Democrats opposed it overwhelmingly, and quickly launched radio commercials
against three GOP lawmakers who voted for it.

Daschle cited concessions Democrats made in the discussions, saying he had
agreed to GOP proposals for business tax relief, and he had been willing to
““look at rates,'' the GOP proposals for accelerated tax cuts.

The War and Recession Drained the Budget Surplus:

> While some in Washington have attempted to blame the tax cut for the declining budget surplus, the
facts tell a different story:

> The Recession Erased Two-Thirds of the Surplus: The recession and declining tax revenues
drained roughly two-thirds of the budget surplus between April 2000 and today.

> Homeland Security and War Spending Used 19% of the Surplus: |mmediately following the
terrorist attacks, President Bush and Congress rightly passed significant spending increases for the
war against terrorism, homeland security, airline security, and emergency response. This
necessary spending accounted for approximately 19% of the surplus.
The Tax Cut Only Used 15% of the Surplus: Despite the claims of some in Washington, the tax
cut used less than 15% of the surplus.

The events of September 11 weakened an already slowing economy:

Unemployment rose by almost 1% after September 11.

The airport and airline industry was entirely shut down, costing thousands of jobs.
The tourism industry was especially hard-hit, costing even more jobs.

Wall Street closed for a week, investment dried up, and the markets dropped.
Anthrax attacks shut down large portions of commercial mail and shipping industries.

Despite the terrorist attacks and the slowing economy, the budget remains effectively in
balance: The miniscule shortfall in the budget represents less than 1% of GDP, meaning that the
budget is effectively in balance.

While some in Washington use partisan politics as an excuse for inaction, President Bush will
continue to work toward a real, effective economic security package for America’s workers.

Senate Banking Committee:

This committee has jurisdiction over PUHCA and reported a PUHCA repeal bill out of
Committee earlier this year. Chairman D’Amato and Senator Dodd are the leading supporters of
the bill and will likely continue to push for floor consideration of stand-alone PUHCA. Tepeal. In
both 1996 and 1997 the Department sent letters to Chairman D’ Amato indicating the
Administration’s opposition to stand-alone PUHCA legislation and support for reforming
PUHCA in the context of comprehensive restructuring legislation.

ISSUES

Market Power. DOE recommendations included a number of policies and reforms designed to
ensure that the move toward restructuring the generation sector of the electricity market does not
lead to adverse consumer impacts as a result of the exercise of market power by market
participants. In particular, two types of potential market power concems have arisen. First,
where the same company or affiliated companies own both transmission facilities and generation
facilities, there is concern that the available regulatory mechanisms are inadequate to ensure that
owners of transmission facilities allow other generators access on comparnble terms. ‘The staff
group supported modifications to the Federal Power Act to enable PERC to require transmission
owning utilities to tum over operational control of transmission facilities to independent system
operators (ISOs). Thesc ISOs are designed to ensure that system operation decisions are made in
anon-discriminatory manner, but do not require divestiture of ownership. FERC’s new authority
would enable it to require the creation of ISOs, require transmission owners to turn over
operational control of their transmission facililies to a preexisting ISO, and regulate the
operations of these ISOs.

There is also concern that, independent of any competitive advantage gained by ownership of
transmission, owners of generation in some markets may control such a large fraction of the
generation available in that market as to possess market power. The interagency group agreed
that FERC should be authorized to remedy wholesale market powcr if it finds that the owner of a
generator possesses such power. Moreover, FERC would be authorized, upon petition from a
state, to remedy market power in retail markets if the state is implementing retail competition,
finds market power, and has insufficient authority to remedy the market power itself. In these
circumstances, FERC would be authorized to require generators with market power to submit a
plan to mitigate their market power, which FERC could approve with or without modification.
FERC would be explicitly authorized to order divestiture to the extent necessary to mitigate any
market power.

Finally, at the suggestion of the Department of Justice, it was agreed that a provision in the
federal policy on retail cost recovery be added thal provides that any stranded cost recovery
mechanism should operate in a manner that is competitively neutral -- i.e., that minimizes to the
maximum extent possible any effect of the stranded cost recovery mechanism on the choice of
supplier or product offering by purchasers of electricity.

Tennessee Valley Authority. The Tennessee Valley Authority is one of the largest electric
power systems in the United States. The TVA system is the supplier of electric power in a region
containing 7.3 million people located in parts of seven states: Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. Eighty-five percent of TVA’s power is sold at
wholesale to 160 municipal or cooperative local distribution systems. Power is also sold directly
to about 67 industries with large or unusual loads and some Federal agencies. TVA is a wholly
owned corporate agency and instrumentality of the United States established by the Tennessee

{(b)(5)] Competition in the electricity sector at the wholesale level, which was
mandated by the Congress in the Energy Policy Act of 1992, was projected by the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (PERC) in 1996 to save between $3 and $5 billion per year.

((b)(5)]

Some homeowners in Eastern Washington State pay as little as 2 cents pcr kilowatt hour (kWh),
while the people of Long Island pay 800 percent more — as much as 16 cents per kWh.

{(b)(5)}

LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS

In the 105th Congress, a number of legislative proposals for Federal legislation with respect to
electricity regulation reforms have been introduced. These include bills narrowly targeted at
particular issues, such as repeal of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA)
and the establishment of a federal matching fund for State public purposc programs. There are
also several more comprehensive proposals, each of which would make substantial amendments
to the principal relevant Federal statutes. A chart attached to this memorandum summarizes the
major bills.

The major issues addressed are:
1. Whether to mandate retail competition and how to treat stranded costs;
2. Whether to mandate statcs adopt a Public Benefits Matching Fund. This fund would
provide funding for universal service, low-income assistance, research and development
and renewable energy supplies that arc now funded by regulated utilities but may
disappear in a competitive environment;
3. Whether to include air quality issues in the restructuring debate and subsequent bill or
keep il separate either in a related bill or under the current regulatory regime.

Bills offered by Rep. DeLay, Rep. Schaefer, and Sen. Bumpers would mandate retail competition
by 1999, 2000, and 2003, respectively. Rep. Markey’s bill takes a different approach and would
require States to consider retail competition and provide utilities incentives to pursue

President Bush Pushes Economic Security Agenda to Create
Jobs and Opportunity for America’s Workers

Today’s Presidential Action:

> Ashis first order of business upon returning to Washington, President Bush today met with his top
economic advisors and Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan to discuss the economy and
ways to ensure the recovery happens sooner rather than later. The President also announced that he
will include his economic security package in the 2003 budget.

Economic Growth Is Needed Now To Help Workers:

> The Senate Should Pass An Economic Security Plan Immediately: Given the uncertain economic
outlook, we need an economic security package to boost growth now and get people back to work.
President Bush called on Congress to pass an economic security bill months ago. The House acted
quickly but the Senate failed to act, despite support for a bipartisan compromise that a majority of
Senators supported. In the meantime, more than 900,000 Americans have lost their jobs. And, without
action by the Senate, more than 300,000 workers will not find work this year.

Economic Growth and Job Creation Boost Surpluses -- Not Tax Increases: The federal
government is not responsible for budget surpluses. America’s workers are the engines of economic
growth that create surpluses. A strong economy and more jobs — not tax increases —are the keys to
improving the daily lives of working families and creating budget surpluses for years to come.

President Bush - Providing Critical Leadership On The Economy:

> The President's Tax Relief Plan Will Help End the Recession Quicker: The President's tax cut was
exactly the right medicine at the right time. It became law in May and workers began receiving checks
in late August -- pumping $40 billion back into the economy and supporting consumer spending at a
critical time. Had it not been for the September 11" attack, many economists believe our economy
would have already recovered.

While Some Blame Tax Cuts for Recession, the Facts Tell a Different Story: The recession
began in March, two months before the tax cut even became law, and at least seven months before
workers started receiving rebate checks. Despite Senator Daschle's claims, it is impossible that tax
cuts made the recession worse.

Democrats and Republicans Came Together Because the Tax Cut Was Needed: Twelve Senate
Democrats and 41 House Democrats voted for the tax cut bill. They knew that cutting taxes was the
right thing to do for America’s future economic prosperity.

all sorts of market pressures, they could disappear overnight. And the Enron
situation adds more evidence, the Democrats complain, you just simply cannot and
should not privatize Secial Security. Your reaction?

MR. FLEISCHER: Okay. On the two points -- on the first point, as you
know, right from the beginning I announced that the Department of Treasury and
other government agencies are monitoring the events in the wake of the
announcement about Enron. And since I said that, Enron has, of course, filed
for bankruptcy.

You may want to talk to the Department of Labor. The Department of Labor
has jurisdiction over pension issues. It is not uncommon for the Department of
Labor, in a time like this, to keep a watchful eye over people's pensions to
make sure that any consequences are fairly and adequately dealt with. So they
are the agency that would be involved. They have their own criteria to
determine whether or not they will have any type of investigation. But the
President wants to make certain that all agencies are monitoring events and will
take action as their criteria warrant.

On the second point about markets, you know, one of the things about our
country is that unfortunately, we can be a land of haves and have-nots. And one
of the things that distinguishes the have-nots and the haves is the haves have
access to ownership of stock and mutual funds. And, therefore, they have a
little piece of a rock that can grow and allow them to enjoy more wealth and a
better life.

There are many people in society who would like to have access to markets,
so that way they can accumulate wealth. And often, they can't. Social Security
is one of the reasons they can't. Young people have all this money taken out of
their paychecks, and often they do not receive any return on it, specifically
people who are young today pay taxes for a system that is scheduled to go broke
before they have any return.

So one of the ways the President sees as helping workers who have a low
income is to allow them to have the same market access that upper-income and
middle-income people have, so they, too, can accumulate wealth.

Q That doesn't do anything for the Enron 401K.

Q Yesterday, the President and Secretary O'Neill went out of their way
to talk about Hamas as a terrorist group with global reach. Is that the first
time that that definition has been applied to a Palestinian group? And
secondly, this was the first time the President had acted against a group not
associated with al Qaeda. What significance should we attach to that?

MR. FLEISCHER: On the first point, I couldn't tell you if that's the first
time. I think you would have to take a review of that and see what you -- I
can't tell you from everybody in every government -- branch of the government if
people have ever used such language. But as you know, Hamas was added to the
executive order that the President issued on November 2, allowing the United
States to block or to freeze the assets of groups.

The announcement yesterday was on top of that. It was built on the
foundation of his November 2 announcement. And I think it shows the world that
the President is sincere and will act when he ways that this is a muliti-front
war and financing of terrorist organizations is one of the fronts at which the
United States and others will actively engage.

Q When he first began the war on terrorism, they used terrorist groups
with a global reach to apply specifically to al Qaeda. And as part of the
rationale for going after these groups, militarily if necessary, should we apply
the same criteria to what is now happening in the Middle East? Would the U.S.,
for instance, consider military action against Middle Eastern terrorist groups?

MR. FLEISCHER: Again, as you know, the President has repeatedly said he's
focused on phase one on the war against terrorism, and that's where I think I'll
leave it.

MR. FLEISCHER: Oh, I thought you were asking about, again, Zinni and
Arafat. The Department of the Army?

Q Well, again, I'm asking you to tell us what contact --

MR. FLEISCHER: Ron, I'm not aware of any. If I had something to report, I
would report it.

Q Can you check to see whether or not there has been any contact or if
the White House is involved in this?

MR. FLEISCHER: I raised it this morning, and I had nothing to advise you
of. I£ I had something to advise.you of involving the President or the White
House's involvement in this case at Arlington, I would advise you of it.

Q So you're saying the White House hasn't been involved as far as you
know?

MR. FLEISCHER: There is nothing that I've been made aware of.

Q Ari, two things, real quick. On Ann's question, is the President
planning, or has he talked to the families of those soldiers who were killed?

MR. FLEISCHER: I’1ll try to let you know. And as you knew, the President's
habit has been to send notes to the families. But if there is anything, I'll
let you know.

Q And a second question, quickly. The President, since September the
llth, has showed extreme patriotism, brandishing his flag, talking about this
country, the love of this country. What are his thoughts about the American who
has fought for the Taliban and his patriotism?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, the President's first thought is that we need to
collect the facts about what has taken place. But I think until then, the
President hasn't really entered into the realm of conjecture. I think that -- I
would just leave it right there, until the facts can be ascertained about if
it's all true what we've read, and why somebody may have done this. But
beyond that, I don't think it's fair to speculate.

Q ‘rom the initial facts, is it treason?

MR. FLEISCHER: I think Secretary Rumsfeld was asked that question
yesterday, and I'm not going te go beyond what he said.

Q I'm asking you, the White House.

MR. FLEISCHER: This is a matter for the people who were involved to ask
the appropriate questions, to gather the appropriate information. It's not a
time for people in the government to guess or to speculate. These are important
matters.

Q But he's fighting against the American government, basically --
MR. FLEISCHER: I understand.

Q Ari, after the breakfast, Speaker Hastert and Leader Gephardt both
said that they believe Congress is right to engage in a broad investigation of
Enron. And both said that they were open to the idea of having some remedial
legislation drafted to protect shareholders, such as those of Enron's, who were
affected when their 401{x)s were frozen as the stock value of the company
plummeted.

Question one, does the White House support any kind of inquiry into
legislation e that? And, two, Mr. Gephardt said the entire Enron situation
raises questions anew about the President's ideas about privatizing, even
partially, Social Security, because assets held in those funds are subject to

trade is right on principle end that is the -- in all the meetings that I have
that has been the argument that he's been making with members of
about the need to address trade because on principle, he thinks it
helps create jobs.

Having said that, there are certain elements of trade that are always up
for discussion; that there are valid points that members can make that typically
de get discussed. And there is a lot of consultation that goes on in the trade
process; many members of Congress, in exchange for giving up their right to
amend an agreement that is submitted to them, seek an additional role in the
negotiations. And so that is not an uncommon request from members of Congress.
So the President will continue to at on principle as he works with members of
Congress and listens to their ideas.

Q Ari, the President is going to be announcing a new Party Chairman this
afternoon. ow active is the President going to be in next year's campaigns?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, I think that the President will make his
determination about that. But politics, elections are an ongoing part of a
democracy, even a democracy that's at war. So I think as the President sees
fit, he will increasingly play a role as the election year rolls around and
we'll duly report that.

Q Ari, can I follow on that? Some Democrats are raising the question if
Governor Racicot will continue in his role as a lobbyist next year, as he heads
the Republican Party. What is the President's position? Does he believe that
the Governor should no longer be a lobbyist next year as he heads the Party?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, again, I think the President has made no such
announcement yet. So I think until an announcement is made, it's a premature
discussion. But there has been an ample history on both the Democrat and
Republican side of chairmen being involved in other lobbying or having outside
sources Gf income; that's not an uncommon practice for both parties.

Q Ari, on the principles the President outlined in the stimulus package
back on October Sth, it seems there is progress being made on all of them,
except accelerating individual tax rates. You said this morning that you
consider that one of the more stimulative aspects of a package. Does that mean
that the President will not sign a package if it does not contain individual
acceleration rates?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, the President has been very clear about what he
thinks Congress needs to do. And one of the centerpieces of what Congress needs
to de is accelerate the tax cuts so-that it can have an impact on the economy,
so people have more money to spend and so that the economy can get the boost
that it needs. That is a core component of what the President has proposed.

Q But is it a deal-breaker?

MR. FLEISCHER: No, the President is right now in the middie of discussions
with members of Congress about how to reach agreement, not how to reach
disagreement. So he'll focus on that.

Q What can you tell us about the EPA decision to force GE to engage in,
k, a $500 million cleanup of the Hudson River?

MR. FLEISCHER: Let me take another one, then I'll come right back to that.

Q Ari, does the President believe Osama bin Laden has been making a
dirty bomb? And, if so, does he think it has been smuggled into the United
States? Defense Secretary Rumsfeld is not sure.

MR. FLEISCHER: As you know, the President, himself, several weeks ago
raised this very issue. And he said that Osama bin Laden has said it's a
religious duty of his adherence to develop such weaponry and to use it if they
can. So it is something that the President is concerned about and takes
seriously and every precaution is being in place. And that's one of the reasons

Q Ari, two questions on Afghanistan. As part of the agreement today,
there was discussion of having some kind of a U.N. force in Kabul, at least for
a while. How long -- I know the President has expressed reluctance to have
American forces there for long. What kind of contribution is he willing to
make, and with what range of time parameters? And, secondly, in order to reach
this agreement, were there any American commitments made on aid?

MR. FLEISCHER: The principal contribution the United States is making is
creating an environment in which peace can take place in Afghanistan. And if
there are to be any international security forces put into Afghanistan, it will
only be as a result of winning a war against al Qaeda and the destruction of the
Taliban. So I think events are still somewhat fluid involving what type of
steps will come next with any international security force. You know, the
President is unchanged in what he has always said, that the American military
should be used for the purpose of fighting and winning wars, and the President
has not changed his opinion on that.

Q On the aid issue?

MR. FLEISCHER: On the

Q On the aid issue, were there any further commitments of American aid
for Afghanistan made as part of this agreement?

MR. FLEISCHER: Nothing that I'm aware of, David.

Q Democrats are still, as far as I know, trying to add $15 billion in
spending on homeland security to the defense bill. As I understand it,
Republicans, in order to stop that, may end up involving stalling the defense
appropriations bill. Does the President think it's worth it to end up doing
that in order to keep this money, extra money, off of the bill?

MR. FLEISCHER: In the meeting with the members of Congress this morning,
the President made it as plain as day that if the Senate were to send the
President a bill that complicates our nation's defense needs, he will veto it.
And by “complicate,” he means if they try to attach extra spending beyond what
has already been promised and agreed to by the Congress te a Defense Department
appropriation bill at a time of war, the President will immediately veto it,
send it back so Congress can back to work on something that can indeed be done.

There is also a letter that is now circulating up on Capitol Hill, and
Senator Lott's office is distributing, that has a sufficient number of senators
to sustain any presidential veto. So why on Earth would the Senate go through
this exercise when it clearly won't go anywhere, other than to delay America's
national defense needs.

America is at war and the war should not be fought on last year's budget.
And that's why the President feels so strongly that Congress should send him a
defense appropriation bill that has the funding increases for the Pentagon to
fight a war and that that bill should not get bogged down by other issues beyond
what has already been agreed to by the Congress.

Q Do you want Republicans to vote against that bill?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, it has yet to be attached on the floor. It passed in
the committee with the extraneous spending that the President has said goes
beyond how much is necessary to immediately take care of the needs we have on
the homeland. And so let's see what happens on the Senate floor.

It's unclear yet whether or not this proposal will actually make it through
the Senate floor. But the President has sent Congress as direct a message as
you can about the need to pass a defense bill that can get quickly signed into
law so our troops can have the resources they need.

Q Ari, in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, Senator
Hatch said that he saw an element of partisanship in the oversight hearings that

issues and are interested in proposals to create Universal Service funds to lower rates in rural

I can report to you that the President has held, prior to today and not
inciuding yesterday's flight, six meetings with members of Congress, exclusively
on the topic of trade promotion authority. He's met with 41 members of the
mbers of the Senate, 19 Republicans and 30 Democrats.

e Are those large meetings, or one-on-one, or --

MR. FLEISCHER: A variety of forums.

Q Is this over recent, Ari, or --

Q Has he been on the phone with them also?

MR. FLEISCHER: The President may be making some phone calls.
Q Spread over the last six months?

MR. FLEISCHER: Yes, if you recall, in anticipation of this, because the
President is such a dedicated believer in the importance of free trade, the
President over the summer started having meetings with members of Congress to
talk about trade promotion authority. He had a few additional ones, and now, of
course, on the eve of a major vote, the efforts are accelerated.

Q This is over that whole period?
MR. FLEISCHER: That's correct.

Q@ Has the President talked to Sharon or Admiral Zinni? What has been
the President's activity in terms of the Mideast?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, as you know, the President met directly with Prime
Minister Sharon here at the White House on Sunday. No, to my knowledge, the
President has not had any additional conversations.

Q Has the President had a chance to look at this new proposal by
Chairman Thomas that provides additional assistance to workers who lose their
jobs?

MR. FLEISCHER: TIA? ‘The President is aware of the proposal by Chairman
Thomas and the President is hopeful that as a result of a series of
conversations that are taking place, that members of Congress will agree to
grant the President the authority to enter into trade agreements around the
world.

Q Does he support the Thomas proposal?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, the President does believe in TIA, the program of
trade adjustment assistance. He thinks it is a very helpful way to help people
who in individual sectors might lose their jobs as a result of trade agreements.
Having said that, the President, as you know, believes that trade agreements
create a net increase in jobs. But the President supports the program. The
President hopes that in negotiations and discussions they will be successful.

Q Chairman Arafat is saying that he can't get to General Zinni to return
any calls to him. Are you aware of that? Has that been a directive to General
Zinni?

MR. FLEISCHER: I'd refer you to the State Department.

Q Ari, in light of the Army's decision to reverse itself on Captain
Burlingame, can you tell us how and when the President was advised of that
situation? Also, the President's thoughts on that?

MR. FLEISCHER: Yes. As I indicated this morning, this is a matter for the

Department of Defense, the Department of Army, specifically. And I don't have
anything beyond that.

SUBJECT: Electricity Industry Restructuring

ACTION FORCING EVENT

Several Members of Congress have introduced bills to bring competition and consumer choice to
the electricity industry. The bills vary in form from proposals that completely restructure the
electric industry by ordering the states to adopt legislation opening the industry to competition to
stand-alone bills that repeal legislation that has governed for decades but is now regarded as an
obstacle to competition that needs to be removed.

Eight states including California and Pennsylvania are implementing their own versions of rctail
competition, and dozens more are considering legislative proposals. However, since electricity
markets are increasingly regional in nature, fedcral Icgislation is necessary to address issues
arising from interstate commerce.

{(b)(5)]

The NEC established an interagency working group to consider the policy issues over the past
several months and to begin the process of making recommendations to the President. ‘l'wo
deputies mevlings have been convened. The Department of Energy is the lead agency, and has
worked closely with other agencies and Cabinet departments to refine the issues. Extensive
briefing materials have been developed and distributed in this process, and we urge you to
consult with your agency’s representative to the NEC group for materials that will be helpful to
you in addition to what is provided here.

This memorandum outlines the working group’s and Deputies’ views and provides options for

action on some key issues.

Throughout the afternoon, the President will meet with members of Congress
on trade promotion authority. The House of Representatives is scheduled to take
a very important vete tomorrow on whether or not President Bush will have the
authority to enter into trade agreements around the world. The President urges
members of Congress to vote for that. It will be a very interesting vote, to
see whether or not Congress or the Kouse will go along.

The President also early this afternoon will have an event in the Oval
Office, where he will announce a new Chairman of the Republican National
Committee. And the President will meet with the Prime Minister of Norway this
afternoon to discuss cooperation on the war on terrorism.

One update. As a result of the action the President took yesterday in the
fight against international terrorism on the financial front, I want to report
to you this morning that over $5 million has been blocked in assets belonging to
the Holy Land Foundation. And as a result of the freezes and blocking orders
the President has implemented on the financial front worldwide against the war
on terrorism, more than $61 million has been either frozen or blocked around the
world.

Q Aci, what makes the President -- I'm taking note of his wide-swinging
threats in speeches recently. What makes him think that he has the right to go
inte a sovereign country and bomb the people?

MR. FLEISCHER: His threats?

Q Any country. Yes, he's --

MR. FLEISCHER: Would you like to be more specific?

Q Does he think he can go beyond Afghanistan or anywhere else?

MR. .FLEISCHER: The President has made it clear to the American people that
the United States, in the wake of an attack on our country, will defend itself.
And as a result of defending ourselves, you can see what is happening in
Afghanistan. The President has said that this is a war against terrorism
because terrorists continue to pose a threat to the United States and to others
around the world, and that he is involved in phase one of defending this country
against terrorists, and he will continue to do so.

Q What gives him the authority to go into other countries and bomb them,
which is what he is threatening to do?

MR. FLEISCHER: The right as the Commander-in-Chief to protect and defend
the American people.

Q Ari, what's the White House reaction to the agreement signed in Bonn
by the parties who have been negotiating a future for the Afghan government?
Does it meet the standards that the White House has set out -- broad-based,
ethnically diverse, women involved?

MR. FLEISCHER: The President is very pleased with the agreement that's
been reached on Bonn concerning the future of the Afghanistan government. He
believes it is a positive agreement that bodes well for the people of
Afghanistan. This vote will allow the people of Afghanistan to take -- this
development will allow the people of Afghanistan to take their country back, and
the President is very pleased by that. He's pleased by the multiethnic nature
of the agreement. He's pleased by the role that women will play in the future
government of Afghanistan. He wants to express his congratulations and praise
to Secretary General Annan, as well as to Ambassador Brahimi, for their hard
work in delivering this accord.

But much more work remains ahead. This is an important development in the
future of Afghanistan, but it's only, in many ways, the beginning. A lot of
hard work remains for Afghanistan now to have a stable government that
represents and respects the people of Afghanistan. It still will be difficult
because Afghanistan is still a nation that is the middle of a war.

STAKEHOLDER VIEWS ON ELECTRICITY RESTRUCTURING

The following is a summary of the views of key stakeholders in the electricity restructuring
debate. ‘Ihe associations and others named in parentheses are included for illustrative purposes
and are not comprehensively listed.

Investox-owned utilities (IOUs) are split on restructuring which has led to creation of splinter
groups within the industry. Many high-cost utililies want to go slow, oppose federal competition
mandates, and would like Congress to ensure 100% recovery of stranded costs (Edison Electric
Institute). They tend to support narrow legislation that repeals federal statutes that are
burdensome to them such as the Public Utility Holding Company Act (PUHCA) and the Public
Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA). Some support privatization of the federal power
marketing administrations (PMAs).

Low-cost utilities want to move quickly, support a federal mandate on retail competition, and are
less concerned about recovery of stranded costs. (Partnership for Customer Choice) Utilities in
States that are implementing retail competition such as California, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts, support a federal mandate on competition hecause they believe it is unfair that
their markets are open to other sellers while other utilities service territories remain monopolics
(Alliance for Competitive Electricity). Most electric utilities oppose proposals to address utility
ait cmissions in the context of restructuring.

Independent Power Producers ( Electric Generation Association, AES, US Generating) strongly
favor federal restructuring legislation, including a federal mandate for retail competition. They
also support stranded cost recovery, particularly costs incurred under PURPA independent power
projects. Some independent producers support the inclusion of air quality measures in
restructuring legislation due to a concern that they will be at a competitive disadvantage in a
restructurcd market because they are generally subject to far morc stringent air quality
requirements than many utilities.

Power Marketers (Enron) strongly support rapid enactment of federal restructuring legislation
which mandates the implementation of competition in all 50 States.

Municipal utilities (American Public Power Association) have diverse views on restructuring but
generally tend to favor a go slow approach. [lowever, thcy strongly support federal legislation
to modify current tax law “private use” restrictions which make it difficult for municipal utilities
to function in a competitive environment. They also support federal measures to curb market
power in a competitive markets. In addition, they strongly oppose proposals to privatize the
federal PMAs which sell relatively low-cost power primarily to municipalities and rural electric
cooperatives.

Rural Electric Cooperatives (National Rural Electric Cooperative Association) generally tend to
favor a go slow approach. Their national association has been one of the most outspoken critics

Dear David:

As we discussed last week, Azurix Corp. which is 2 subsidiary of Enron, is
involved in a half a billion dollar investment dispute with the Province of
Buenos Aires. Attached is 2 confidential briefing paper that provides a
history of the dispute; our efforts to resolve it amicably; the lack of good
will on the part of the Provincial authorities to find a resolution, and some
suggestions to break the impasse to the benefit of all parties concerned.

John Garrison, President and CEO of Azurix Corp., and I would be available
to be in Washington on cither December 10 or 11 to meet with government
officials who are handling U.S. foreign policy relations (State and NSC)
with Argentina, as wel] as economic/investment relations (USTR and
Treasury). I would like to take advantage of your kind offer to organize a
meeting at USTR with the various offices that have various levels of
involvement in this type of investment dispute. I'll give you a call to discuss
how you want to proceed. Meanwhile, I can be reached on (713) 345-5956

are taking place over the way the Justice Department is carrying out its
investigation. Does the White House share that view that partisanship is
creeping into the Congress's oversight role on the investigation?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, the President understands very clearly and welcomes
Congress's legitimate oversight of all the activities that the Executive Branch
engages in. That is how our Constitution is built, and the President is keenly
respectful of it. And I don't think it should surprise anybody that the Senate
will exercise that review. But I think the President has also noted that there
have been some positive statements by many Democrats about the actions that the
President has taken on the home front, military tribunals, et cetera, to fight
anc to win the war on terrorism.

Now, clearly, the American people are overwhelmingly with the President on
this. But there very well may be people who represent a small minority and they
have that right to do so.

Q Just to follew up. Do you think that there are people that are trying
to score political points against the Attorney General or against the President
in their criticism of his handling of the situation?

MR. FLEISCHER: You know, there very well may be. But that doesn't bother

the President. The President understands that -- he came to Washington froma
very different background than many people who have been here for a while. The
President came from a state government where you'll see -- not only in Austin,

Texas, but throughout many of the states -- less partisanship, less strife. And
that's the spirit that the President has been trying to bring to the Congress.

I think many people accept that new spirit that has come to Washington. There
may be some who won't.

Q Going back to Holy Land Funding, there are many other groups who are
raising funds from this country and sending overseas, including many groups in
Kashmir and funding terrorists' activities. Do you think the President is going
to go now after all those groups who are raising funds from this land?

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, yesterday's announcement was one announcement in a
series of announcements the President has been making on the financial front in
the war on terrorism. And I really urge you to look at this as a front in a
war. And given that fact -- and that's the President's approach to it and
that's the message that he has given the Secretary of Treasury and the
government investigators and the law enforcement community -- you need to look
at this as an ongoing series of events designed to protect this country by
drying up the money that's available to those who would do us harm or engage in
terrorism around the world. So, as the President has always said, there very
well may be more actions to be taken.

Q Just to follow, because the Prime Minister of India when he was here
at the White House and met with the President, and also, the Foreign Minister of
India, they all said that there are groups here who are funding terrorist groups
in Kashmir. And they urged the President and this administration to take action
on this --

MR. FLEISCHER: And I think the President is putting groups on notice that
no one is going to be safe, no one is going to be immune; if they practice
terrorism, the war will be brought to them on a number of fronts.

Q A despite philosophical differences between Democrats and
Republicans on the economic stimulus package, it's already December Sth. Does
the President feel he will get an agreement?

MR. FLEISCHER: He just doesn't know. No one can say what Congress will
dc. It's up to Congress, finally. The President will continue to be helpful,
but obviously, the Senate was not even able to pass a bill. Unlike the House of
Representatives, which was able to pass a stimulus bill, the Senate could not.
Now the administration is going -- taking the extra step of working with the
Senate in a way that really is unprecedented, it's not common that one branch of

the Congress passes a bill -- or one House in the Congress passes a bill, the
other doesn't. But the President thinks it's so important to heip the economy

Valley Authority Act of 1933, as amended, primarily to develop and manage the resources of the
Tennessee Valley region.

TVA’s electric system operations arc required to be self-supporting and are financially separate
from TVA’s nonpower activities. The power system is financed entirely from its revenues,
which were about $5.7 billion in fiscal year 1996, and bonds backed exclusively by those
revenues. TVA is administered by a Board of Directors which is composed of threc persons
appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Currently, two of the three Board
members were appointed by President Clinton. The Board has sole authority for determining the
rates which TVA charges for power, and upproves the retail rates charged by TVA’s wholesale
distributors.

Statutory Limitations. The sale of TVA power, both wholesale and retail, is expressly limited by
a 1959 amendment to the TVA Act which provides that, unless specifically authorized by the
Congress, TVA can make no contract for the sale or delivery of power which would have the
effect of making it or its distributors, directly or indirectly, a source of power supply outside the
area for which TVA or its distributors were the primary source of power supply on July 1, 1957.
This provision, commonly known as the “Fence,” does provide, however, that TVA can, when
economically feasible, make exchange power arrangements with other power-generating
organizations with which TVA had such arrangements on July 1, 1957.

TVA is subject to the wholesale open access provisions enacted by Congress in Sections 211 and
212 of the Federal Power Act. These provisions grant FERC the authority to order TVA to
provide wholesale transmission services to others across its transmission lines and to establish
the wholesale wheeling rate if TVA and the person requesting the wheeling cannot agree.
However, the statute also contains an “anti-cherry picking” provision which prohibits FERC
(with one exception) from issuing a wheeling order under Section 211 to order power wheeled
into the TVA area so long as TVA is restricted by the Fence from reciprocal competition.

DOE/TVA Regional Consensus Process. Generally, TVA is affected in greater or lesser degree
by each of the issues now being examined as part of the present consideration of the restructuring
of the electric utility industry. However, because of its unique statutory responsibilities and
restrictions, as well as its size and geographic location, TVA also presents additional issues
which must be fully addressed in any comprehensive analysis of the future role of the utility
industry in this country. TVA has expressed the desire to address each of these issues in a full
and complete manner, and the Department of Energy has agreed to facilitate this effort. TVA
and DOE are currently formulating a joint regional consensus process which will solicit input
from each of the stakcholder groups whose views will be important and instructive to the proper
resolution of these issues. Currently, plans are being considered to involve and solicit the views
of TVA’s power distributors, its directly served retail customers, the surrounding regional
utilities, various power marketers, and IPPs, as well as appropriate State legislative and executive
officials. The process will involve continuing meetings with distributors and direct served
