This is a thorough and helpful analysis. But, have we considered the broader
emergency powers the president might have (i.e. beyond the clean air act waivers requested by a governor)? It would seem that the importance of the defense business in California, the large number of military facilities, the public safety hazards of widespread blackouts, etc. ought to trigger some broader authority.

We are still awaiting one more section on the Federal Reserve's authority. As you will note, there is remarkable authority vested in the President, including eminent domain. Please note page 7, which read in combination with footnote #4 gives wide authority to the Federal government. Let's decide soon how we want to use this memo. Thanks. - 140855_1.DOC
