Large Customers' Response to Hertzberg

To add to Bev's comments, I've gotten many calls from large customers today.
I'll be meeting with them in Sacramento on Monday to discuss the core/noncore
structure further and try to craft a core/noncore structure that makes
sense. I've also asked Sandi and the Sacramento team to line up meetings
with key legislators while I'm there to discuss the same.

Business is, as was expected, very unhappy about that portion of the plan
that would stick them with all of Edison's debts. They view it as unfair and
punitive (which it is) and are frustrated that the Democrats would include it
simply to "make the deal Harvey proof." Many questioned Keeley about why the
Democrats are hell bent on pandering to Harvey. Keely said that the Assembly
is also trying to come up with something that will get support from the
Senate (read "Burton").

Keely also mentioned our name in a list of many names as sources of
information used to build the proposal.

Best,
Jeff

Subject: Today's Chamber Meeting

I attended the Chamber meeting today and the discussion focused on P.R.
efforts for large users focusing on core and non-core opposition. Bob Foster
with Edison made a presentation regarding support of M.O.U. and Fred Keeley
came in and described Hertzberg's Plan B which mostly emphasized direct
access. Hertzberg's Plan B was not particularly well received by the user
groups. More details later.
