Re: APEA/Clark County PUD

I tried to call you this week about this, but I understand from your
voicemail that you are out. Then I ran into Jeff and he said it was being
handled and that there was nothing for me to do. I will be in Portland next
week if you want to talk about this matter. As far as the request to Avista,
I think that we should make such a request, preferably from our business
contact--a short and sweet letter should do.

Re-sending. Hopefully you can print this one.

In connection with the APEA matter, we have been informed that Avista (Avista
manages Clark County PUD's gas supplies for its facility) has transaction
tapes related to Clark's declaration of force majeure that may be of
interest.

It is possible that we should send a request to Avista to retain the tapes
for the dates 12-6-00 through today in case a dispute arises over the
declaration of force majeure. Do you think that would be prudent, and if so,
how would you like to go about making the request?
