Jim, et al:
FYI. Lots of expansion plans going on, including TW. We can discuss further
on the call. Expansions generally create some level of concern from shippers
due to the fact that capacity to the boarder exceeds takeaway in California.
It's particularly prickly at Wheeler, through which, I'm assuming, the Kern
expansion will flow. We can discuss further on the call.

Best,
Jeff

Subject: Kern River Expansion - Implications for Firm Shippers

Becky --

Can you please find out (a) details about the emergency expansion on Kern
River and (b) key Firm Shippers on Kern River, Mojave, PGT?

Philip Allen called me this morning and asked about our ability to "get a
read" on the potential for other Firm Shippers on Kern River to oppose this
expansion. Can we quietly reach out to our industry contacts (other Govt
Affairs shops) to get their opinions?

His concern is primarily about Kern expanding into CA will limit other Firm
Shippers given the limitations on the SoCal system [Jeff, give me a call to
see how this plays in CA].

While we are not a Firm Shipper (and we probably don't want to get directly
in front of this - Enron fights expansion), how will FERC and its Staff look
at this issue [Donna & Leslie}?

Let's try and have the info and a call on Thursday at 4pm Houston time to get
back to him afterwards.

Jim
