New York lobbying effort

Steve,

I mentioned that my brother, an attorney in New York, is active in state
politics and might be a useful contact in the state. I'm following up with
this note to let you know a bit more about him.

Larry Mandelker is a partner with Kantor, Davidoff Wolfe Mandelker & Kass in
New York City. He is outside counsel to the Republican State Committee and
represented Bill Powers when he recently joined the Crane Group in Albany.
Larry works closely with the Crane Group's legal operation, Crane Green &
Parente, in many state matters.

There's another reason why I thought to mention Larry. He currently
represents Sunset Energy Fleet, a company managed by Jerry Montrose, which is
negotiating to win state permits for barge-mounted generation off of Brooklyn
as well as gas supply contracts. He knows exactly what the power industry
faces in New York.

If anyone would like to contact him, I'll forward that person's name to him.
I'll give you his telephone number, too --
212-682-8383 x 30 -- if you'd like to file it away.

Please let me know if there's any additional information you'd like to see.

Take care,
Jeannie
