I followed up with Keith prior to Appropriations and he was very disappointed that he and Bill Leonard could not round up more votes. They knew the liberals would make a play and thought on a policy level they were better off pushing a better bill than allowing a bad bill to go through along party lines. However, Republicans are well aware of the polling and think this issue is better left to the Democrats. Perhaps the liberal play will energize Republican members. As for moving to the left, it did not appear as if Hertzberg was moving left because the amendments seemed to be offered without his consent which is why the hearing was stopped so abruptly. If in fact they are going to stay left and the amendments they presented this morning wind up in the bill, what does Enron think? I have already forwarded the DA amendments to Jeff, Jim and Mike Day. I will send the additional amendments momentarily. -----Original Message----- From: Dasovich, Jeff [mailto:Jeff.Dasovich@ENRON.com] Sent: Friday, August 31, 2001 2:52 PM To: sgovenar@govadv.com; Rick Shapiro; Steffes, James D.; Kaufman, Paul; Jeff Dasovich; Kingerski, Harry; Lawner, Leslie; Susan J Mara; Hedy Govenar; Bev Hansen; Mike Day Subject: RE: SBX2 78 HEARING CANCELED Thanks, Scott. Though the chances of re-kindling a bi-partisan, centrist deal among Rs, Ds and Davis are extremely small. Richmond (Republican leading Assembly efforts) has agreed to stay in touch with Bev over the weekend in the very unlikely event that something rekindles between Rs and Ds. In the meantime, with Davis and the Assembly Ds drifting back to the left, we'll need to redouble our own efforts to make sure we don't lose the ground we've gained. Scott, are they meeting again on Monday, or Tuesday?

As Hedy indicated before, with the Republicans not willing to vote for the bill, liberal Democrats crafted 11 new amendments which they felt were necessary in order to garner their votes. Clearly there was no consensus among committee members or leadership on the amendments in question and the business community was up in arms. Amid the confusion, Hertzberg effectively ordered the hearing canceled. They intend to hear the bill again on Monday. ********************************************************************** This e-mail is the property of Enron Corp. and/or its relevant affiliate and may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient (s).
