< Attached below are electronic copies of the President's memorandum and the < Secretary of Energy's Order, which we just received, directing PG&E's gas < suppliers to keep selling gas to PG&E. < < The President's memorandum includes two sentences that appear in < crossed-out form in the electronic copy attached below. These two < sentences do NOT appear in the final copy signed today by President < Clinton, a copy of which we received by facsimile from DOE. The excised < text would have kept the President's emergency findings in effect for 120 < days, as PG&E requested. But the final text, which bears President < Clinton's signature, does not include that ruling. (showing us a < last-minute change made in the White House.) < < The short duration of these orders comes as something of a disappointment. < But we have made history here. Never before has the Defense Production < Act been used to address an energy supply shortfall. And, the Natural Gas < Policy Act emergency powers upon which the President and Secretary also < rely have never been invoked before at all. < < Now the work begins of contacting the gas suppliers. < < <<President's FindingsRevised.doc<< <<GasOrder.revised.doc<< < < - President's FindingsRevised.doc - GasOrder.revised.doc
