I don't have a problem supporting the concept generally. Since they took the
trouble to ask for our help, its probably the right thing to do politically and relationship-wise. On the substance, I doubt this will do them or us much good in the long run as FERC will just ignore us all if pipelines start acting as cheerleaders for each others' proposals. Will they ghost write it or do you need someone to draft it up?

She called because she said that our pipelines are on record as saying that pipelines need flexibility to serve electric generators. Protests are coming from the Dynegy/Indicate Shipper crowd that claim that pipeline can provide hourly flexibility within current FT. A technical conference is set for next Tues. & either Nancy or Jan will cover. I told Margarite that I would see whether I could drum up any support for an ETS intervention and comments in support. I told her that any ETS comments would at most be brief and state general support for the notion that pipeline need flexibility to serve electric generators. I also told her that I doubted that we could file by next Tues. Let me know what you think. Personally I see some value from cooperating with El Paso on this issue. FYI - I will separately fax you a copy of the proposal to be discussed at the next INGAA/Generator roundtable meeting next Tues. here in Houston. For the most part, the proposal is more of the same tone -- we should be able to serve generators under existing services.
