Mary,
Can we tone down the demand-side management language. Our short-term retail position in California is that the rate freeze by law should be maintained until December 31, 2002. Of course, in the long-run we believe demand-side management and demand elasticity is and important tool toward managing the prices in California. Perhaps you can refer to demand elasticity as a long-run goal or focus your discussions on demand elasticity with respect to the utilities' current tools in their interruptible tariffs. Also, you could focus more on the utilities' new ability to purchase outside the PX. I am afraid that coming out too strong on demand-side management as a short-run solution plays into the utilities' hands to end the rate freeze early to the detriment of the retail market.
