Jeff Dasovich and I, along with several IEP members, met with Gov Davis'
staff today, including his Chief of Staff, his Staff Director and two policy
advisors on energy issues.  They made the following points:

The Governor is personally spending a great deal of time on electricity
issues (and is forcing them to spend their time on it as well).
The Governor recognizes that part of the problem is a supply shortage, but
they put special emphasis on the view that in addition to supply shortfalls,
a big part of the problem is a "dysfunctional market" -- a thinly veiled
reference to price manipulation by people sitting in the room.
The Governor's view is that all participants (regulators, utilities,
customers and generators) must "behave responsibly".
Everyone must "share the pain".
The legislative battles are likely to start as soon as the legislature
returns next week, and the Governor will be putting forth several legislative
proposals in the next couple of weeks.
While staff went out of its way to say that the list of proposals (in the
attached e-mail) were unofficial and for discussion purposes only, it was
fairly clear that they defined much of what the governor plans to propose.

The meeting was not very encouraging nor did it provide much in the way of
new information.  The IEP group was on message, making the usual arguments
about the need for forward contracting, expedited generation and transmission
siting, a real retail market to promote demand side responses, etc.  The
staff is clearly focussed on forward contracting as part of the solution but
remains committed to the idea that generators have to cough up some money and
remain subject to rate caps, possible restrictions on sales outside the state
(at least at peak times), etc.  One approach they appear to be toying with is
a "share the pain" proposal which would have utilities absorbing some of the
deferred costs and consumers absorbing some of the deferred costs in the form
of higher rates.  That leaves generators ... who they might want to either
agree to some refunds or provide power at lower going-forward prices.

The staff says that they remain open to proposed solutions, but the Davis
administration appears unwilling to spend any political capital to fix the
problem.

I think we are in for a lengthy legislative and PUC fight.  We should, as
always, provide consistent and reasonable solutions.  I think we should
prepare a document for distribution to staff, legislators (and anyone else)
that takes the factual background and proposed solutions we have put forward
(eg in Belden's presentation and the Seabron Adamson whitepaper) and wraps
them in a more political context.  In other words, we have already
articulated the right answers; we now need to put a political rationale
around our proposals -- a set of arguments which responds directly to the
political opposition those answers are likely to encounter.  Jeff will follow
up with one of the staff members in particular (Kari Dohn) and I would
suggest that Jeff and Sandi work together on putting the necessary political
rhetoric around the solutions we have proposed.

		 Subject: Options the Governor's Considering

Steve:  FYI.  Don't worry about the conference call, but thought it might be
useful to review the proposals prior to Monday's meeting.

See you Monday.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Best,
Jeff

******************************************************************************
**************************************

Several IEP companies have been invited to a meeting with the Governor,s
staff next Monday, November 27th.
The following are some options, which the Governor,s office is considering.
IEP is doing some preliminary research on some of these topics.  IEP would
like to arrange a teleconference call around noon on Monday, November 27th to
discuss the Governor,s meeting.  Please advise us as to whether your have
been invited, and who you are sending.
California,s electricity supply situation has two inter-related problems )
(1) high wholesale electricity costs, and (2) marginally adequate supply of
generation ) both have combined to create a dysfunctional wholesale
electricity market.  The goals should be:
 To assure reliable electricity to California consumers for the lowest
reasonable cost.
o Consider requiring that all in-state generation be sold in state.
o Consider re-asserting state authority over the operation, maintenance and
safety practices of all in-state generating facilities, for public health and
safety purposes.
o Consider developing a state power authority to build generation and
own/operate transmission.
o Consider requiring utilities both to retain existing and to build new
generation.
o Consider providing utilities with authority to stabilize retail prices to
be paid by consumers through development of an energy portfolio that reduces
exposure to spot markets, including contracting forward for much more of
their unmet power needs.
o Consider extending consumer rate freeze.
o Consider centralizing power plant dispatch like the other ISOs in the rest
of the country.
o Consider eliminating the ISO and assigning its functions to either a state
or private entity that can acquire the transmission facilities, and control
the electricity transmission grid (MUNIs have proposed this).
o Consider sponsoring/supporting legislation to change the ISO and PX boards
to increase accountability.
o Expand energy conservation programs focused both on immediate peak demand
reduction and on longer term, broader-based programs.
o Aggressively work to site new generation and transmission facilities, to
streamline permitting, and to develop renewable resources.
o Call for/sponsor federal FERC reform legislation that would:
o Impose a regional price cap that varies by time of day and year;
o Set requirements for FERC to use its retroactive refund authority;
o Improve FERC enforcement over price gouging practices;
o Affirm the role of states to protect their customers from unjust prices.
o Pressure the FERC to do its job to (1) bring about responsible seller
behavior in wholesale electric markets through price controls and other
market interventions as necessary, and (2) provide refunds to affected
consumers.

Hey lady!

What's up?  I just had the most hectic week of my life!  I had such a great
time with Dad and Laura - is it just me or does he get cooler every time you
see him?  He took me, Nathan, Michelle and Monica out to this awesome
restaurant and totally paid for everyone.  I was so touched, especially
since I think they're kind of trying to watch the funds.  My car is great!
It's so little and perfect.  Then as soon as they left I went on my Outward
Bound weekend, which was incredible.  We went snowshoeing, did a ropes
course, and learned how to use a map and compass (the last thing was SO fun
- I want to buy a compass and carry it around with me everyday).  Anyway,
I'll have to tell you more about it on the phone since it was kind of
complicated, but super fun.  I had SUCH a great time, and I'm even more
convinced that this is the right job for me right now.  Nathan is still good
- I'm installing a toothbrush at his apartment, which I think is a good
sign.  He's great.

So what's going on in your life?  Call me tonight if you get a chance!

Love, yo sista


Here's the latest I've heard from EES regarding ways in which we've managed
to thoroughly confuse them. I'm researching most of these questions, but as
with last month, there are a few Real Time deals they don't see in the
spreadsheet you guys send to them. Would you mind checking this out when you
have a minute (or despite the fact that you don't)? If you revise anything,
just let me know or e-mail it directly to Mark Confer and Brooklyn Couch.

Subject: Re: Cuiaba Review

Joe - this is the list I asked Laine to put together. - I asked him not to
list all the folks under Laine - as I assume they stay with the project no
matter where it goes.

Jose Anson - he is the coordinator of permitting at IBAMA and ANP for the
pipeline.  He is also involved with working on the FUNAI issues a result of
his efforts on the IBAMA license.  Key person.

Joao Carlos A. - although he is working on the project on an ad hoc basis he
is key in terms of the FURNAS/Eletrobras relationship.  Not only does he know
folks but he also gets things done within the system.

Valeria Lema - She is the relationship manager with ANP.

Daiane Duarte - Daiane Duarte is on the PanEng payroll until the end of the
year after which she has been dialed out.  Have asked Rick several times
about her future with his group.  She is critical locally in Cuiaba due to
relations with FEMA and other agencies for obtaining the state permits that
are still outstanding as well as working with Anson et al.

Lucio Reis - he is very active in working with ANEEL/ONS/MAE and others.  He
has been a key to our success on the CCC account.  He is a must to making the
project successful.  Knows the contacts and basically understands the project
from the regulatory and CCC account point-of-view.

Two other people that are not involved in "our side" of fence on a daily
basis but are valuable are Jose Bestard and John Novak.  Jose knows the
history and John is the counsel with the longest tenure on the project.

Subject: Cuiaba Review

Rebecca has asked for a review of the Cuiaba project.   Her current thinking
is that it should be under one shop - not split responsibility.   Which shop
is not clear to me - I presume this will be decided pretty soon.

The review will take place the week of Dec 4th.   She wants a straight
forward  decription of what is left to be done and what the issues are.  I am
thinking the presenters are Laine, Rick, Jose.  In attendance are Rob and
John.     Can divide the presentation up into -

getting the construction finished/cost issues/EECC - subcontractor issues. -
Laine
Furnas/Electrobras issues - Rick
YPF - gas supply - Mark to market position - opportunities - Rick
MAE/ONS issues - current thinking.  - Jose
Current economics. - Rick

Everyone should have a page prepared ahead of time with the discussion topics
on it - she doesn't want a detailed presentation - just the facts.   Can we
send the page per topic around by this friday.

I will ask Rebecca for two hours the week of the 4th and let you know.

Joe - we should talk about where the project should best end up - I think
Rebecca is flexible -   don't really know what Dave is thinking.

Adams

BASSETT HOUNDS
The furniture specialist barks -- and it bites.

By Rick Aristotle Munarriz

Bad news is like sandpaper -- it can wear you down until you're
dull and finished. Bassett Furniture (Nasdaq: BSET) becomes the
latest home furnishings specialist to send out pink slips and
warn of reupholstered financials. Earlier this month,
Furniture.com discontinued operations.
http://www.lnksrv.com/m.asp?i=214564

However, unlike Furniture.com's inability to secure financing to
subsidize losses, Bassett remains profitable despite trying
times in the furniture industry. Higher oil prices make shipping
bulky pieces as costly as it is cumbersome. Even worse, rising
interest rates have slowed the housing market to a crawl.
Without new homes to stock up with new furniture, the industry
becomes as attractive as that hideous barcolounger collecting
dust in your attic. The soft demand now finds Bassett expecting
fourth-quarter earnings per share to come in as much as a dime
below the $0.42 consensus estimate.

To offset the cyclical weakness, the company also announced a
consolidation of its domestic wood manufacturing operations.
Ultimately, 280 workers will be displaced. However, the wood
chuck won't disrupt the company's modest growth plans. The
company is still on track to open 52-65 new Bassett Furniture
Direct and At Home retail stores a year over the long term.

Bassett also won't reduce its dividend. That's welcome news to
yield investors who are drawn to the $0.20 quarterly dividend.
The company's hefty payout -- a 6.8% yield based on yesterday's
close -- will keep the stock from falling too far down.

Selling at just 8-9 times this year's freshly revised earnings
and with savings looking to beef up the bottom line in years
ahead, maybe Bassett isn't howling at the moon. Lowering costs
in domestic production in the face of cheaper Asian imports is a
painful yet necessary step. Like the company itself, the move
will pay nice dividends when housewarming gifts once again line
the porches of suburbia.
_________________________________________________________________

NEWS TO GO

High fiber? Communications infrastructure heavyweight Dycom
(NYSE: DY) reported better-than-expected earnings on a 46% spurt
in profits. The $0.51-a-share showing was seven cents ahead of
analyst estimates. Total contract revenue climbed by 32% for the
quarter. Dycom also named President and CEO Steven Nielsen as
its Chairman, succeeding the retired Thomas Pledger. Nielsen
will wear all three hats. He will also preside over the
company's acquisition of privately held Point to Point
Communications.

Is it Kevorkian or Kerkorian? Billionaire investor Kirk
Kerkorian, DaimlerChrysler's (NYSE: DCX) fifth-largest
shareholder, is suing the car maker for $9 billion. Kerkorian is
all revved up over his claim that the 1998 merger between
Daimler Benz and Chrysler was sold to him as a marriage of
equals. In his view, the European Mercedes Benz parent is
clearly in the driver's seat now. He'd rather play shotgun than
ride shotgun. According to Kerkorian, it was deception that
caused him to submit his 14% stake in Chrysler in favor of the
union.

The good, the bad, and the Covad (Nasdaq: COVD). The struggling
DSL provider has announced layoffs and will be scaling back its
marketing and network expansion costs. The expense reductions
should amount to 20-30% in annual savings beyond the onetime
charge, but that alone won't vault the company to profitability.
Many of the high-speed connection purveyors have had to temper
their expectations in recent months. Earlier, Covad had to
restate third-quarter results when it was having trouble
collecting from deadbeat cash-strapped ISP customers.

Like country, like company. Altera (Nasdaq: ALTR) and AT&T
(NYSE: T) have announced new presidents. There were no dimpled
chads in the board room.

H & R Block (NYSE: HRB) ahead? Pall (NYSE: PLL) bearer? Is ADC
Telecommunications (Nasdaq: ADCT) OK? These are just some of the
questions the market will answer when the companies report
quarterly results today.

I am planning on coming to Sao Paulo next Tuesday if that works for you.  I
will arrive Monday night and leave Wednesday morning.  Andrea Bertone and I
determined today that it would be best if I came next week rather than the
week after.  She and I will be meeting to go over the information each of us
has regarding physical and financial trading in Brazil and she wants to set
up some meetings with some of the commercial group to discuss some of the
alternative deal structures for a few transactions that are being
considered.  Please let me know if I need to block out some time, other than
for the chief counsel meeting, for you, Andrea and I to meet to discuss
trading issues in Brazil.  As soon as I know what your schedule is Andrea can
set up the other meetings.  I look forward to seeing you next week.

Chaim,

I received a number of phone messages from you.
The project is now in the hands of John and I shall
be very happy to assist him when he is ready to move.
He is looking at the licensing agreement right now.

Till then, I have to wait for him to make  a decision.
My role in this project is one of a facilitator, technical
consultant.

Thanks so much for getting back to me.  We remain keenly interested in doing
the preliminary project for you so that you can know how MarketPoint works
and how it might help you.  We are ready to go on the test process as soon
as you and your people are ready.

You heard from Dr. Chaim Braun, Altos Vice President, who called you at my
request to inquire about your demonstration project.  I will mention to
Chaim that you expressed your interest via email to me.  There is no need to
phone him back until you are ready to go.  Chaim's email address is

Sorry so much time has passed since we last discussed your North American
Gas Model.  I am however still interested in setting up a test process to
familiarize some of our key people with the model and the database, etc.

I am now reviewing the licensing agreement that you submitted in December
and will be back in touch soon.  I need to discuss this further with the
business segments, but I suspect that our interest will be focused more on
the Long Term gas model.

Another member of your firm had called last week, but I somehow misplaced
his name and number.  I thought that an e-mail response would suffice for
now.  My apologies.

Vince,

May I put you down as one of my reviewers for my final PRC within RAC?

Soma


We are still getting to enjoy sunshine, but there's a very cool wind.
Yesterday was the anniversary of when we met...6 years ago!  Seems longer.
We dined at A?mann's, of course..our favorite place.

London was great!  I took my Goretex jacket and it rained about every 15
mins or so most everyday, but it wasn't too cold so that was no problem.  We
were shocked at how expensive all the tourist stuff was...30 DM per person
to go to the Aquarium!  Everything was like that, but we did all that we had
time for.  The riots on May 1st made us detour a little bit, so that we
didn't get to see the Crown Jewels, next time we will make that 1st on the
list.  We really enjoyed the parks, the pubs and Heather's company.  But we
aren't city people, we where ready to get out of the hustle and bustle and
come home to our boring little lives.  I loved the fish and chips that we
got at The Bag of Nails Pub, other than Pubs we mostly ate italian.  It was
cool seeing the Windsor Castle and all the old stuff.  Heather has a nice
flat, with a great location, right by Buckingham palace.  She's having a
blast there!  I would like to see the countryside next time.

Yeah, it's going to be awhile before you are more than "just ok".  I am very
sorry.  It's good that you are keeping busy.

so what are you going to do about your job?  I can honestly say I am happier
in this job than I've ever been...but the boss can be a little difficult
sometimes!!!

Gotta go for lunch! Write me!


I'm meeting with Rick Causey tomorrow morning (Friday), and hopefully Sally
will be attending as well.  I'll brief you afterwards on our action plan.

CHANGING SUPPLY CHAINS

A typical hospital buys $50 million in supplies from 22,000
suppliers annually.  On average there is a 75% price discrep-
ancy for identical products.  Paper invoices cost 30 times as
much as electronic invoices. Room for improvement? Perhaps.
We've convened an expert panel at Healthcare Outlook 2000 to
help us understand where the changes will come from and who
the big winners will be:

Dr. Gilbert H. Kliman, General Partner, InterWest Partners
Dr.David M. Auerbach, Principal, Decision Health
Sundeep Bhan, Chairman,President, & CEO, Medsite.com
Anne De Gheest, President & CEO, medpool.com
