louie, i do not expect the navajos to abort this deal
by a hard line position on the standard terms and conditions. i do expect that they will take a hard line position until they believe we mean what we say. we have had completely contradictory expressions from them--at one time they said they understood our concerns and thought they could accomodate them. at others times they have said "standard terms and conditons, take it or leave it". i agree with lynn that we should have very low expectations of federal courts relieving us of the terms of our deal--perhaps only to the extent the public interest demands it. this is clearly a management call, but i continue to recommend against taking the risks associated with the general terms and conditions. jim --- Louis.Soldano@enron.com wrote: < Larry Ruzow met with the Navajo DOJ (a Jim Fitting, < Esq. ) yesterday < afternoon on another matter.
