Lay Meeting with Harris

The Premier's Office (Didi Hayward) called this afternoon to say that what
she called the "log jam" with respect to the proposed meeting has finally
been overcome. The Premier's Office has proposed the afternoon of
Thursday, June 7 for 30-45 minutes to be scheduled between the hours of 2pm
and 4pm. In my view, there is still considerable value in proceeding with
this meeting and hopefully Ken Lay could be available. I would suggest
that we propose the meeting to commence in the 3:15 - 3:30pm timeframe, to
avoid the risk of the Premier being called back into the Legislature in the
early afternoon and to increase the possibility that, if Lay and Harris are
getting along, the meeting could run overtime without running into another
scheduled meeting. Please let me know how you wish to proceed in contacting
Ken Lay about his availability, etc. Regards, Aleck
