FERC "Linda Breathitt" Strategy Contact

Zausner is kind of a mixed bag. I think he's strong intellectually and has
some influence, but I don't trust him to keep our strategy and contacts
confidential.

Subject: FERC "Linda Breathitt" Strategy Contact

Today, I spoke with EPSA's outside counsel, Andy Zausner, about having his
firm's Senior Counsel former Senator Wendell Ford (D-Ky, 1974-98) assist us
with our FERC "Linda Breathitt" Strategy. Former Senator Ford knew Linda's
father well plus has dinner with Linda every several weeks or so. There
probably isn't anyone in Washington closer to Linda than Wendell as he has
known her since she was a child. Andy is expecting either Steve's or Rick's
phone call to further discuss the Senator's involvement. Andy did discuss in
general that he wasn't certain whether his client, EPSA, would go along with
the strategy but he thought, overall, it was a possibility. Andy's direct
number is 202-828-2259. I know Andy and Wendell very well and would like to
be helpful as you wish. However, at this point, I thought an EPSA board
member (i.e. Steve or Rick) should follow up. thanks.
