Hey buddy. I know that you're up in Sacramento and have a much better lay of
the land than I, but this looks a like a sure fire set up for "the man for all seasons" to make an appearance before the legislature. I have deep concerns about us sticking our necks out at these hearings. Again, have much better info, but by all accounts, "witch hunt" seems to be the operative term for the hearings. We are doing very well for ourselves working behind the scenes and the risks to us of having someone at a public leg hearing, with all the cameras, and all the politicians feeling the primordial urge to grandstand are very high. Let's please discuss this one long and hard before making an decision. I'll be in Sac on the 16th for an AB 1890 Group meeting and plan to attend the hearing. Your pal, Jeff Scott Govenar <sgovenar@govadv.com< 01/09/2001 05:15 PM To: Hedy Govenar <hgovenar@govadv.com<, Bruno Gaillard <bgaillar@ees.enron.com<, Mike Day <MDay@GMSSR.com<, Mona L Petrochko <Mona_L_Petrochko@enron.com<, Jeff Dasovich <jdasovic@enron.com<, Susan J Mara <smara@enron.com<, Paul Kaufman <pkaufma@ect.enron.com< cc: Subject: Special Oversight Committee There will be an oversight subcommittee of the new committee formed to shape energy policy in the Special Session. In a meeting today, Assembly Member Darryl Steinberg, who will Chair the subcommittee, told us he expects to hold two hearings to "track the money" between utilities, geneators and wholesalers. He hopes to wait until after the completion of the PUC audit, unless that audit drags on longer than the next week or so. He is planning a "constructive investigation" and pledges to be fair. The subcommttee will be staffed by the Speakers Office of Oversight. Also, Enron has been invited to testify at an informational hearing of the Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee on January 16, 2001. The general topiic is how supply and demand affect the California market and what options are available for new or repowered generation in California.
