Problem: BODY: See the attached. The proceeding certainly isn't over, but I think the parties have done a great job of submitting a settlement that the Commission will eventually approve, provided the parties present sufficient evidence to support such a decision. (Unfortunately, we expect the settlement to be protested.) Direct testimony is due May 5. To streamline things, the parties are going to consolidate efforts and have divided up the testimony by topic. Of course Transwestern got the Hector Road issue. I plan to put Mr. Fawcett on as a witness. Our issue is not particularly controversial anymore, so I do not anticipate rigorous cross-examination; nevertheless, I will probably ask your assistance in preparing the witness for the hearing, which begins May 30.

Problem: BODY: Greetings: John, I would like to promote Hodge to VP this time around. I know our system has changed to get that done, but I wanted to get your support on this. I believe Jeff has done a good job and added significant value for a long time and has earned it. Give me your thoughts. Mark
