The post of Ambassador to India has garnered the interest of several candidates. Former Senator Larry Pressler has asked for support. Appended is an Email from Joe Hillings regarding the state of play on this nomination. I also checked with Wade Cline in India about his reaction to Senator Pressler. Wade indicated that he does not know the Senator personally, but that "he is well thought of in India and would be a good choice." Please note from Joe's Email that Joe is concerned about a possible Pressler nomination. With respect to the SEC, you were asked to speak on behalf of James Doty from the law firm of Baker Botts. Appended is his bio. I checked with Ed Gillespie this morning about his latest information on SEC. Ed believes that Joe Grundfest of Stanford University is the leading candidate. No one has contacted us on behalf of Mr. Grundfest. In a recent Washington Post article, in addition to Doty, Rep. Chris Cox was mentioned as a possible candidate. Ed did not turn up Cox's name in his conversation with Administration officials today. I understand FERC candidates will also be discussed in the meeting. Ed Gillespie indicated this morning that "Pat Wood is still the pick." Ed also reported that Rep. Joe Barton is pushing Joe Kelliher for a potential slot. We have worked closely with Joe over the past several weeks on California issues. He was on the transition team and is currently housed at the Department of Energy as an Advisor to the Secretary. I also understand that McLane Layton of Senator Nickles' office has been told by the White House she is on the list for consideration. Rick Shapiro and I met with her last week. Both Kelliher and Layton were among the candidates listed on an early Enron document given to the transition team. I believe everyone in Enron Government Affairs believes Pat Wood is the superior pick.
