To: CMTA Members From: Jack M. Stewart, President Date: July 16, 2001 Re: FERC Commissioners to Keynote CMTA Energy Conference http://www.cmta.net/archive/2001_tahoe_conference.shtml For all manufacturers who will ultimately pay the price for California's energy crisis and for all those individuals involved with energy policy, the only place to be from August 1-3 will be the CMTA Energy Conference at Harvey's Hotel-Casino in South Lake Tahoe. Headlining the Conference as Keynote Speakers are two of the five Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioners (FERC). Commissioner Nora Brownell will keynote the Thursday, August 2 session and Commissioner Bill Massey will open the Friday session. Commissioner Nora Brownell was nominated by President George W. Bush to serve on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on April 30, 2001 and was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on May 25. Prior to joining the Commission, Ms. Brownell served as a member of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC). During her tenure at the PUC, Ms. Brownell took an active role in the roll out of electric choice in Pennsylvania. In addition to her work in establishing the framework for one of the most successful retail electric markets in the country, Ms. Brownell was a leader in the administration of Pennsylvania's Electric Choice Consumer Education Program. William L. Massey was nominated by President Clinton and was confirmed by the Senate in 1993. He was renominated and confirmed for a second five-year term ending June 30, 2003. Commissioner Massey was the only Clinton-appointed FERC commissioner to support Governor Davis' demand for electricity price controls in the western states earlier this year. The CMTA energy Conference agenda will include the latest information on energy legislation making its way through the state capitol, an update of pending CPUC decisions as well as a review of the various financial proposals aimed at returning Edison and PG&E creditworthiness and restoring direct access to California's electricity consumers. We have scheduled panels of government and industry experts to discuss Natural Gas Prices, Supply and Infrastructure; Managing High Prices and Blackouts; Environmental Impacts and Trade-Offs; and two panel discussions on present and future energy markets. Please check our website at http://www.cmta.net/archive/2001_tahoe_conference.shtml to learn more about these critical issues and to register for CMTA's 2001 Energy Conference at Harvey's in South Lake Tahoe. - groyer.vcf
