Problem: BODY: Hertzberg and Keeley announced that they are filing a petition with FERC to rehear the April 26th decision regarding price caps. After going to D.C. and meeting with several FERC members, they decided to file for a rehearing. Their filing asks that the order should be in affect around the clock instead of just during Stage 1, that the actual costs be tied closer to the pricing of the product, and anyone that exceeding the cost-based pricing system have a 100% penalty. Hertzberg and Keeley had a press conference today at 1:30 PST. Questions included the impact of today's ruling and how it would affect Plan B, Hertzberg replied he was not sure. He also indicated that they support the Feinstein bill and if the lawsuit or the rehearing efforts do not work, legislation is the last chance for price caps. Hertzberg also indicated that he was getting to the point where CA "may just say no to prices that are too high" (via buyer cartel).

Problem: BODY: It didn't occur to me until seeing Richard's message that we might have a hole in communications with Mary being out on an extended basis. We should probably create a message on Mary's phone that refers callers to someone else - ditto on e:mail messages. Beth, does it make sense for that referral to be James, or you, or Vanessa? Others within our organization that may try to reach Mary could have questions about global databases, projects that Joel's group had been handling, etc. I am not trying to put this off on you if you don't think it is appropriate - but James and/or Vanessa came to mind as possible contacts. By copy to Hector, I also wonder if we should review incoming e:mails that have come to Mary over the last several weeks to see if there are some internal requests to which we need to respond. Let me know what you think. --Sally

Problem: BODY: Deb, Can you check the VP list for Bill. He was promoted to VP of Enron North America Corp. in January and, looking at the corporate database, his name is not showing up on the list. Thanks!
