I just spoke with Clark Smith, head of Elpaso's merchant arm. I told him
that we had been hearing that El Paso was blaming Enrononline for problems in
Western gas markets. He asked for some more specifics about who exactly was
spreading the rumor (I told him we had heard it from 3-4 sources). He
acknowledged that EOL was not the problem; said he couldn't believe that it
had been identified as such; and said he would bring it up on his call with
his Washington team this afternoon.

I think he will put it to rest (except for whatever damage has already been
done). I did promise to get some more specifics on who has told us that El
Paso pointed to us. Can anybody give some info on that?
