In it's < place, Senator Dunn held a press conference where he announced the < following: < < The next hearing will take place on May 18 at 9:00 a.m. at the Irvine < City Council Chambers in Southern California. There will be three < witnesses; Elaine Howle - Bureau of State Audits, Loretta Lynch - CPUC < and Bob Pease - Legal Director - FERC. The hearing is expected to last < all day. < < The following hearing will take place in Sacramento on May 24. That < hearing will feature witnesses from the PX. < < The Committee has retained Larry Drivon as Special Counsel. Mr. Drivon < is a civil practitioner from Stockton. < < The Committee is expanding its investigation in conjunction with local < district attorneys. Their goal is to create a statewide task force. < The Committee may not be able to enlist the aid of the Attorney General < as there are certain prohibitions in law which apparently stand in their < way. To date, the only DA conducting an investigation is from San < Jouqin County. The basis for their investigation is price fixing, theft < of public funds and anti-trust violations. The DA is offering immunity < in exchange for testimony. < < The Committee has distributed data requests to the top five generators < and Enron. They intend to issue more data requests to marketers in the < coming weeks. The Committee is meeting with generators at 2:30 p.m. < today to review the data request and determine what data the generators < may be willing to submit. The Committee intends to issue subpoenas to < obtain certain documents which the generators may not willingly < provide. The Committee has subpoenaed the ISO who is expected to < release documents on May 7. Some generators have expressed concern that < the ISO documents are protected under confidentiality agreements. < < According to the Committee, upon cursory review of the public documents < they have already obtained, it does appear as if suspicious, if not < illegal, activity has occurred on the part of the generators and < marketers. < < <
