Subject: DRAFT presentation--Status report on California

Attached is the draft that we've discussed. Few points:

It's a draft. It would benefit from more tinkering.
It takes our core messages (what's the problem? what's the solution?) and
tries to weave in current events, understanding that by the time you're
giving the presentation it may need to be further modified to correspond with
rapidly changing circumstances and events.
It's frank but (hopefully) measured in describing the mess that is
California. It's set up so that it's easy to modify the more pointed
statements.
Leaves plenty of room for you to tailor the presentation to particular points
that you'd like to make, or data and/or information that you'd like to
include.
I didn't have ready access to charts and graphs to back up the stats used in
the text of the presentation, but I'm sure that it will be relatively easy
for someone in Houston to pull that together (e.g., may want to poach a bit
from Belden's presentation to include some PNW hydro stats (which I've also
attached), or from ISO website to show load-resource balance info).
Though I'll be on vacation, I'll be checking in on voicemail and email, so if
you have any questions, or need something additional to get the presentation
ready, just let me know.
I may be in an airplane on Monday during both the leadership call and the
newly restructured California call. Otherwise, I'll be trying to make those
calls dailywhile I'm away.
And Jim, I'll also be available to participate in any calls regarding
Calger's proposed deal with CDWR.
Finally, when the darn thing prints out, it prints borders around the
heading/title box and the text box, though I don't know why. Tried just
about everything to get rid of them. May want to have a PP guru in Houston
see if (s)he can disable the boders.
Best,
Jeff
