A few thoughts:
First, I think it's dangerous for me to walk into any of the PNW Senator or Congressman's offices and talk about our interests in legislation on the retail side. Their key focus will be BPA and you (not me) are clearly the expert on those issues. I am planning on handling (or others in the Western States Group will handle) non-PNW states, but I think it makes more sense for you to meet with the PNW folks (either with me or without me) because of their focus on BPA issues. Second, since you are already working so closely with Congressional staffers, it may not be necessary to visit with the Senators and Congressmen when they're home. The only reason to do so, is that you do get better access to the members themselves when they're home. In this regard, you may want to talk with Cynthia and Craig Gannett about a visit with Slade Gorton, Gordon Smith, and Ron Wyden. I've met Smith (who probably won't remember me) and had dinner with Wyden at former law partner's house (so he may remember me)--let me know what you think. I'd be happy to join you and talk about state issues, but it only makes sense in my mind if you are their to talk about BPA stuff.
