Subject: CA Government Affairs

Hi Rick,
I read the article in the article in Enron Business that mentions your
group's efforts in California. I'd like to speak with you in order to find
out if your efforts with the California government could possibly assist my
client. I am the EES Account Manager for Pilkington North America.
Pilkington is a lage scale glass manufacturer with a plant in Lathrop,
California. They, like many other PG&E ratepayers, are going to be subjected
to load curtailment this summer. Being a large scale glass manufacturer who
consumes a great deal of energy, they feel that being subjected to a
curtailment would jeopardize the safety of the Lathrop community. If the
plant withstood a full scale meltdown in their furnace, caused by a
curtailment, a plant of that size would require an enormous group of
emergency service personnel. Such a significant presence at the facility
would jeopardize the safety of the rest of that small community.

Pilkington has already forwarded a letter to PG&E documenting this and it is
currently under review. I would like to know if you or a member of your
group could pursue any political avenues with this letter. Please call me at
215-599-7047 at your earliest convenience.

Thank you,
Steve Beck
