Freedom of Information Act Request of CAISO FILING UNDER SEAL

As you know, an anonymous party filed a FOIA request with FERC on March 1,
2001 seeking the certain appendices that the CAISO filed with FERC on a
confidential basis on March 1, 2001. Those filings contain aggregate bidd
data for December and January.

Last Friday, I filed the attached letter with FERC indicating that we would
oppose releasing the materials until we are able to learn more about what is
contained in the ISO appendices. (I have attached a copy of our letter for
those who have not received it.)

Today, I received a call today from FERC's FOIA Officer informing me that
SoCal Edison has formally requested FERC to provide it with copies of all
letters and other responses related to the FOIA request. I guess we now know
who made the request (big surprise).
