CONFIDENTIAL -- FERC SETTLEMENT DISCUSSIONS

I have proposed quite a few changes and additions to the list. I also ask
some questions re some of the items listed. I added a section on Retail
Reforms -- we cannot settle with the state unless we settle everything --
otherwise we know the outcome to expect.

regarding your question on hourly day ahead markets -- I assume you're
referring to the energy market that the PX used to run, because the CAISO
already has day-ahead markets for congestion and ancillary services. I
discussed this proposal with Tim in March because the ISO's filing at FERC
for market reforms had the ISO setting up such a market -- essentially
putting the former PX inside the ISO (and for all you historians, finally
creating the dream of POOLCO for California). Tim asked us to oppose that
proposal -- his view at the time was that we didn;t want the ISO running
energY markets, because private third parties could do a much better job of
that. So, we opposed that in our filings commenting on the ISO's proposal in
March.

I'll be in the office Wednesday (Oops! Today). Can we discuss this list and
where we are headed?

Necessary Market Reforms for CA.

For your review/comment. We are potentially submitting these points into
settlement discussions. Do we want to propose that the CAISO develop the
systems to implement hourly day ahead markets? Is this ok with Jeff
Richter? Ray
