Hi Folks,

Keeping with the "you know what I know" philosophy here.

Still checking on confirmations but wanted to pass this along to you from
one of our subscribers, Greg Divers.

Greg just sent me this email:

"WSCR 1160AM in Chicago just reported that Bears' WR Marcus Robinson is done
for the year because of a bulging disk in his back."

Thanks Greg.  While this is bad news for those hoping for a Robinson
comeback, at least it gives you a jump in the week for planning how to fill
the void.  More tonight as I hear it.

Circuit Breaker: Enron Dumps CFO Amid Conflict Questions

By Stephen Taub

Enron Corp. is set to replace CFO Andrew Fastow. As CFO.com reported in a
story earlier this week, Fastow's role in a limited partnership has raised
concerns about a conflict of interest.

Fastow is succeeded by Jeff McMahon, who had been serving as chairman and
CEO of Enron's Industrial Markets group. From 1998 to 2000, McMahon was
Enron's treasurer. He resigned that post in part because he disapproved of
Fastow's role in running two partnerships, according to The Wall Street
Journal.

"In my continued discussions with the financial community, it became clear
to me that restoring investor confidence would require us to replace Andy as
CFO," said Kenneth L. Lay, Enron chairman and CEO, in a statement.

McMahon, 40, joined Enron in 1994 and spent three years in the London office
as CFO for the company's European operations. Upon returning to the United
States, McMahon assumed the post of EVP of finance and treasurer for Enron
Corp. In 2000, he was named president and COO of Enron Net Works, where he
focused on E-commerce activities.

As reported on Friday, The Wall Street Journal said a limited partnership
organized by Fastow, who has been Enron's CFO since 1997, racked up millions
of dollars in profits from transactions conducted with the energy company.

On Monday, Enron said the Securities and Exchange Commission requested
information regarding certain related party transactions.

On October 16, Enron stunned Wall Street when it announced that it would
take a $1.01 billion after-tax charge for the September 30 quarter.

Since the announcement, Enron's share price has more than halved.

Fastow's dismissal seems to be an about-face for Enron. In a conference call
Tuesday, Lay said the partnerships were fully disclosed and took steps to
assure that there was no conflict as Fastow played both roles. Enron has
since dissolved the partnerships.

"Obviously, the board and even the lawyers and auditors realized that there
would be an apparent conflict of interest there and the board prescribed
certain methods for it to be dealt with ... so Enron would never be
compromised," Lay said in published accounts. "We are very concerned [at]
the way Andy's character has been loosely thrown about in certain articles,
as well as the company's reputation."

Predictably, on Wednesday at least two law firms - Stull, Stull & Brody and
Bernstein Liebhard & Lifshitz, L.L.P - filed class-action suits against
Enron, Lay, Fastow, and Jeffrey K. Skilling, the former Enron chief
executive who resigned in August.

The suits allege that the defendants issued false and misleading information
that materially misstated the company's condition and prospects to the
investing public. Moreover, the suits argue that the company failed to
disclose material information necessary to make its prior statements not
misleading.

The complaints charge that Enron issued a series of statements concerning
its business, financial results, and operations which failed to disclose,
among other things:

* The company's Broadband Services Division was experiencing declining
demand for bandwidth, and the company's efforts to create a trading market
for bandwidth were not meeting with success, as many of the market
participants were not creditworthy.

* The company's operating results were materially overstated, since Enron
failed to write down in a timely fashion the value of its investments with
certain limited partnerships - the partnerships that were managed by Fastow.

* Enron was failing to write down impaired assets on a timely basis in
accordance with GAAP.

I regret to inform you that Ken Rice and Kevin Hannon have decided to leave Enron to pursue other opportunities.  Most recently, Ken had been assisting in the transition of Enron Broadband Services to Wholesale Services.  Kevin recently left Broadband Services to lead our Global Assets business.

In addition to building a wholesale model for the trading of bandwidth as a commodity, Ken and Kevin made significant contributions to the development of our wholesale business.  I am grateful to both of them for their outstanding service to Enron.

I am pleased to announce that effective immediately Stan Horton, chairman and CEO of Enron Transportation Services, will assume additional leadership responsibility as chairman and CEO of Enron Global Assets, excluding the South American merchant business, which will continue to report to John Lavorato.  Stan is a 28-year veteran of the company with a proven track record of outstanding results.  Enron Global Assets will continue to function as a separate unit headed by President and Chief Operating Officer Jim Hughes, who will report to Stan.

Please join me in supporting Stan in his expanded role and in wishing Ken and Kevin the very best of success in their new endeavors.

Hi John

Just wanted to let you know that we still have not heard from TVA, re dual
interconnect with Southern. In the next week or so we will give them a call.
On the Gleason facility, TVA has been relatively helpful and has agreed to
let us go "commercial" sooner than they otherwise would be required to.
Maybe this is a thawing of relations.  Just dreaming.

Talk to you soon.

Hope all is well.

Kay,

I Hope you had a good weekend. I do again have email (I'm back in Miami).

Regarding the Plat for the Midway project property, I'd rather use Ben that
Dave to sign the Plat which will be filed during the construction period.
Would his title be "Attorney-in-Fact"?

Regarding Certosa Holdings,  I would like to discuss the benefits and issues
of throwing Certosa Holdings into bankruptcy.  Are you available to discuss
later today?

Hi Greg,

I just wanted to mention that if we are going to bust the percentage rule on
the option payment, there is no incremental damage in having the option
payment credited to the purchase price of the land.

As for officers of the development company, I would use Dave Duran.  Ben
holds a power of attorney, but isn't an officer.

Hope you get email!

Mike,  I reveiwed the proposal by Adewumi and it is correct and fairly
accurate, for the purposes of a historic account and and in as far as  what
was provided to him in the way of data and history.  His proposed scope seems
to be conclusive and appears to be what we need.   I have included Louie in
the distribution  and am sure he will have some input.

My comments are as follows:

1.  I dont know how relevant it is to know about the customers facilities at
this time.  As you know, we have more than one customer (PG&E and SoCal), and
I  think that we should maintain a low profile especially with respect ot
SoCal.  Both parties in the past,  have been helpful and very cooperative in
matters  pertaining to PCB's. Because the modeling study will be conducted
between C/S 3 and C/S 2, the customers facilities should have no impact on
this.

2.  Also, I would like to see if we can deal with  PCB's and arsenic at the
same time?  Is it possible to simultanously model both contaminants?

3. Because the modeling efforts are conducted on a very small portion of the
pipeline, can this section be used for all of the Transwestern system?  In
leau of  the fact that we have pipe under rivers, over rivers, major
elevation chages in short distances etc which are not covered in the section
to be modeled, will  the pipeline characteristics be covered to the extent
that it will yeild information applicable to the entire pipeline system?

4. I am also concerned about stirring up the PCB's and moving additional
PCB's into the SoCal system.  Its been pretty quiet  in discussions with the
SoCal  PCB person.  I wonder if we should notify Ralph Komai to be on the
alert when we start the cleaning?  Louie, thoughts?

5. Injection of terpenol into the station yard piping.  How will we do this
and how do we get it out?

6. Impact of terpenol on gaskets, engine parts, etc.

Subject: The Draft of the PCB Cleanup Proposal

Dear Mike, David, Larry and Ben:
 Please find attached the draft of the PCB migration/cleanup proposal as
promised. This is only the technical portion of the proposal. Once we agree
on the specific scope of the work, the necessary man-hours and the
associated budget can then be developed.
 In addition, we have studied the material given during our meeting and have
developed a preliminary list of the data that we would need from you once
the project begins. I have decided to attach the list so as to give you
adequate time to collect and/or collate this information.
 Please give me your feedback on the proposal as soon as possible so that we
can develop the final version and submit an official proposal. Equally
important, the more preparation and planning we do at this stage, the faster
the progress that would be made once the project actually begins. Thank you
and have a wonderful weekend.

i admit to being a little put-off by his 'tone'- if that's the correct word.
  you write a long, jovial, bantering note, and his response is cold and
blunt....it sounds like mr noble's project has zapped out all of his
personality......and we thought one of his better features was his
well-roundedness.....!  again , i think this is one of those subtle and
shaky things you can't really 'call' someone on, and it's best to leave the
ball in his court.  of course, if he comes around when he's less
'distracted', i would tread carefully, and w/ some aloofness- no reason you
should have to 'jump' when he says to! gauge how he acts post-holiday- there
will be no project excuse, and then you can see how much validity this
theory holds.  am completely disoriented right now- sleeping pattern is off,
have raging PMS, and am a little homesick, as i knew i'd be at first.  both
mom and dad  succeeded in slipping horribly weepy cards into my purse before
take-off (which was a weepy mess in itself).  of course, i found them on the
plane and made an absolute scene sniveling and crying big fat baby tears.
verrry attractive!  am going to be really glad actually when school starts
so that i can begin to get acclaimated and don't feel like such a fish out
of water.  need to finalize when you're thinking about coming over.....i
know it's sometimein oct- and kates said she has to leave on the 12th for a
wedding thing.  as i said, jeremy's wedding is the weekend of the 14th, and
i know that was a week you discussed coming.  i don't have tickets, but if
it's physically poss for me to find a good ticket home, i prob. will have
to- gogo started crying when i said i prob. couldn't come, and i promised
i'd try.  but then again, i don't want to mess up the vacation plans you've
been setting up for a long time.  hopefully we can find a 'mutually
beneficial' time for the visit- let me know what you're thinking, and we'll
work from there!  am writing from the computers at katy's school, and don't
know how long i am allowed to, so will try to check back asap!  hope all is
well- miss ya'll!

Definition of Event of Default - References Section 17.  I believe this
should be Section 14.  This same reference to 17 is also made in other areas
of the contract, such as in Section 15 "Termination".  Also, please note that
under Section 15, some of the Event of Default Sections numbers do not exist
(ie. 11 and 12).  Please look into these sections in their entirety.  With
respect to this section, I would like to change the cure period from 30 days
to 3 days and of course in instances of bankruptcy, misrepresenation in the
Reps & Warr, etc., there should not a cure period.

With respect to credit.  In reading the contract it seems that the
counterparty is going to be a consortium of entities (MDEA, Yazoo &
Clarksdale).  Are each of the counterparties jointly and severally liable?
Answers to the this relationship structure will be necessary prior to
proposing credit terms for both the Master Gas and Master Power agmts.  If
this is the structure, we should probably look into getting legal opinions
regarding the cities' authority to enter into such obligations.  In addition,
do the city's have authority to enter into agreements for greater than 1 yr.
In my experience with other munis, they generally are, but only at the
Enterprise Fund level (Public Utility).  Perhaps we should confirm this.  To
the extent that MDEA (stand alone) is not 100% supported by the cities, we
will need financial statements on MDEA.

I wanted to give you an update on where we stand regarding the invoicing issue on MCV.

I have spoken with MCV contact, Renee Schroll, and we are in agreement on the pricing of this contract.  Apparently, for a number of months they have not agreed with what Enron was invoicing them.  MCV would simply pay what they thought was due based upon the contract pricing.  Chris and I are working on getting some historical information on what was invoiced versus what was actually paid.  However, this has proven to be a laborious task and will take some time.  We need to reconcile how far back the error goes to determine if there is any AR/AP position.

Regardless, we do have the April Invoice worked out.  They shortpaid us the amount that was due to us based on April non-deliveries under the MCV II contract.  Chris has reviewed the replacement pricing, and believes it to be fair.  I have reviewed the contract, and the replacement pricing falls within the contract parameters.  The shortpay amount is $384,975.

Additionally, we still need to invoice them for $381,300 for volumes on Panhandle and for the 1 day's swing in April ($ amount to be determined).  We should be able to get this fixed at the start of next week.


Gentlemen,

Please review and let me know your comments so I can send this out tomorrow.

Thanks,
Chris


Here it is.  I have not reviewed it, but have been told by our IT folks
that the redline worked this time.

We have found 1,000 dth/d at MacClendantown A06 for CPA. We only need 1,857
there now, will get you upstream info.


Once this is fixed in SAP I will be able to change it in PEP.  The Data
Integrity Team is being really strict on the name field.  It has to be
changed in SAP before I am allowed to change it in PEP.  Please let me know
when this has been done and I will make the change asap.

is it possible that his first name show as "J Darren" ?   Daren is his middle

We would also be glad to submit the change in SAP if the system will accept J
Darren as the first name.
Please advise.

Rebecca McDonald's APEC speech was a great success, with wide interest from
the audience.  Among others, DOE and EIA officials, the Korean Minister of
MOCIE, the Japanese Vice Minister of MITI and the Colombian Minister of Mines
and Energy all made special requests for copies of her presentation.  We are
making arrangements to distribute it to the broader audience today.  The
government and regulatory team here is already leveraging the enthusiasm for
the speech in their contacts.  Attached is the final copy of the
presentation, which reflects last minute changes.

I am in complete agreement with the below (except I think the applause for
our demise was, unfortunately, rather more aggressive!!). This was my first
exposure to the non-European Steel players and found myself quite amazed at
the few number of "public" advocates that we had at the conference in
consideration of what we are offering.  The one-on-one contact with the
attendees was completely the opposite.  We talked with a broad and numerous
set of people who, coming to the booth as sceptics (they think that were are
in the market just to grab the physical business), left with cards in hand
and future risk management meetings in mind.  Big buyers (eg GE, Emerson) and
consultants (eg Accenture, McK, etc) were particularly receptive and should
be courted as public advocates for what we are doing.

Subject: Steel Stradegies Conference - NYC 06/20/01

Yesterday, during the Panel V discussion, "Why Have Steel Middlemen Gone From
The Most Threatened To Best Positioned", we got some direct feedback on the
perception of Enron in the marketplace. The participants were, Fred Lamesh
CEO of Trademarked Inc., Michael Siegel, CEO of Olympic Steel, Bud Siegel,
CEO of Russell Metals, and Wilfred von Bulow, CEO of Ferrostaal Inc.; the
moderator was Peter Marcus, Managing Partners of World Steel Dynamics. Each
participant gave a brief speech about their respective companies which was
followed by a Q&A session. The first mention of Enron was during Michael
Siegal's speech in which he mentioned that Olympic Steel had "sold material
to Enron" and that "Enron has recognized that steel is a commodity and for
many countries represents currency."  Michael was clearly proud of his
transactions with Enron and agreed with our view of steel as a commodity.
The real feedback came during the Q&A. Peter Marcus posted the following
question to the panelists. "What about Enron? With their plan of entering the
market with a number of hubs across the country, stocking material, with
large scale distribution on a "spot" basis. Will this business model work? Do
they offer any real value or not?"
Following are the respective responses as best I can reiterate from my notes
( please don't quote me on this):
Fred Lamesh, TradeArbed: "The concept is too new to make a judgment yet on
credibility. Enron has certainly been successful in the past and should not
be discounted. I question their ability to procure material at competitive
enough levels to make this a profitable venture but there may be some value
in their delivery of financial instruments."
Michael Siegal, Olympic Steel: "Enron certainly has the financial means to
withstand a "break even" business to support their financial instruments. At
this point, we view them as just another entity in the market and until we
can evaluate their performance, it is difficult to determine value. I am
concerned though that they will prop up under capitalized distributors and
allow them to operate despite mismanagement. One interesting and unique
concept that they are trying to bring to the industry though is the idea that
a contract is a contract, with liquidated damages for non performance. That
would certainly be change (sporadic laughter among the crowd)."
Bud Siegel, Russell Metals: "I addressed the Enron question last night during
dinner and was told that I was abusive to the young lady from Enron (Tammy, I
later understood that you had a less than cordial conversation with Bud the
previous evening). I am calling Enron the "Hunts of the steel business" with
their idea of buying up the market. The whole concept is like Swiss cheese.
You can not put up depots, buy from steel mills, and expect to sell the same
steel to distributors cheaper than the mills themselves. The logistical
expenses alone guarantee failure. You can not be everything to everyone.
Considering the current state of under financing in this industry, they will
inevitably end up financing bankrupt people and take credit hits. Without
immediate success, Enron has been known to exist markets quickly in the past,
and I believe they will be gone within the year."(some sporadic applause)
Wilfried von Bulow, Ferrostaal: "Right now they are just another additional
player in the market. They will certainly have an impact but it would not be
pragmatic to make a judgment yet on their ability to succeed. Let's watch it
and see if there is any value to what they are trying to bring to the market."
It appears to me that the focus on Enron in the market right now continues to
be more on the physical aspects of what we are doing and not enough emphasis
or credibility is being given to the financial tools we are bringing. It is
obviously very easy to poke holes in a concept of trading large volumes of
physical steel on a "spot" basis through the set up of physical hubs around
the country. In the end, the only way we will be successful will be by
bringing liquidity to our index through financial instruments. We need to
focus more on educating customers about our financial tools, developing our
curve, and bringing players to the market.


This is a Real Time deal, and that desk enters deals a bit differently than I
do. When they initially do a deal, they enter it for a certain hour or set of
hours. Then, if they agree with a counterparty to extend the deal to flow
through more hours, they change the deal in Scheduling, not EnPower. The way
to see the true volume of a Short Term West Hourly deal is to look in the
"View Actuals" tab. If you look at this deal, you'll see that they extended
the initial 5 MW at HE 11 to look like this:

HE 11 - 5 MW
HE 12 - 5 MW
HE 13 - 5 MW
HE 14 - 4 MW
HE 15 - 4 MW
HE 16 - 4 MW
HE 17 - 5 MW
+__________
 32 MW

Subject: Annual Christmas Dinner

Hi Girls!
It's that time again.  We need to get everyone together for our annual
Christmas Dinner.  I have spoken to many of you and tried to come up
with a good time for everyone.  Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be
a "perfect day", but how about Friday-Dec. 22nd?  Please respond and
tell me what you think.  I have had a few suggestions for a
place-Churrasco's, America's, Ruggles, Benji's, Sullivans-please send a
suggestion.  Don't say it doesn't matter because majority vote will win
and there will be no recount.  The time will probably be around 8 p.m.
I know the 22nd is close to Christmas, so the 19th has also been
suggested-but I am afraid not everyone will be in town yet.  Please send
me your thoughts on the day, restauraunt, and if we should plan
something after dinner.  I can't wait to see everyone and hope all can
make it!

1. If arbitration is chosen, there is no need to insert Waiver of Jury Trial
language

2. Pending discussions that he will be having with Mark Haedicke and Jim
Derrick, no chnages need to be made to our arbitration language.

3. Our Process Agent language will be revised such that under all
circumstances it will say the following:

Party A appoints as its Process Agent , ____________, having an office in
________________ on the date of this Agreement at __________________.  Party
B appoints as its Process Agent, __________________, having an office in

the following respects:

1)  The outside closing date of "January 15, 2001" should be changed to

TRADE
Presidential Negotiating Authority A Must, Evans Says
Top administration officials suggested today they are stepping
up their push for presidential trade negotiating authority,
rejecting suggestions by Finance Chairman Baucus that the bill
may not move this year and showing flexibility on the
controversial Jordan free trade agreement, which is backed by
some key Democrats. Presidential trade negotiating authority is
"number one on my list of issues [that] I am focusing on right
now," Commerce Secretary Evans told a small group of reporters.
Evans said he was surprised that Baucus had reportedly said the
bill could "slip" into next year. Evans and a senior
administration official also in on the session insisted that the
bill must pass this year. They indicated not only was the trade
negotiating authority needed to help move negotiations along with
Chile and for a Free Trade Area of the Americas, but passage
would help bolster U.S. credibility as it tries to launch a new
trade round.
Evans pledged he would aggressively argue for free trade to
the American people and that President Bush would be touting it
as well. Evans also said the point of this week's announcement
that the United States would investigate limiting steel imports
under section 201 of U.S. trade law was to see whether the steel
industry needed help, but he noted that if the move made
Democrats more comfortable backing trade negotiating authority,
then all the better.
The senior official indicated the administration was
considering allowing the Jordan trade deal to maintain provisions
that could lead to enforcement of its labor and environmental
provisions with sanctions. The bill is supported by some
Democrats who want a tougher line on these issues. Some business
officials oppose the deal; others are not taking a position. "I
think we are all coming around to the conclusion that ... one
size does not fit all," the official said. "There's a lot of
debate about whether Jordan's going to provide a way forward. I
think it's a model. I don't think it is necessarily the model."
But he added, "I think there's a number of different ways to
approach the problem, and Jordan's one of them." And he compared
Jordan's provisions to a portion of the North American Free Trade
Agreement. - by Keith Koffler

TAXES
Gephardt Promises Offsets For Any Further Tax Cuts
House Minority Leader Gephardt pledged today that Democrats
will resist any move to pay for additional tax cuts this year
with Medicare and Social Security trust fund money, but echoed
Senate Majority Leader Daschle's comments Wednesday that there
would be offsets for any additional tax relief that might be on
the way this year. At a news conference criticizing the $1.35
trillion tax cut that became law today, Gephardt and other
Democratic leaders acknowledged that energy-related tax cuts and
renewal of a group of tax credits that expire this year are just
some of the items Congress may need to address.
Noting that GOP appropriators have already signaled they need
more money for FY02 appropriations bills, Gephardt said it will
be hard for Democrats and Republicans to advocate additional
spending or tax relief, but added: "We will have offsets. We hope
the Republicans will do the same." For now, he could offer no
specific ideas on what the offsets would be, but he left the door
open to even looking at the newly enacted tax bill as a source of
funds. Daschle also said it was likely that future Congresses may
need to modify the 10-year bill President Bush signed today in
order to keep the budget balanced, but played down the notion
such revisions could happen as early as this year. Ways and Means
ranking member Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said the real impact of
the tax cut is 10 years away, and claimed that [President]
"George W. is saying, 'Not on my watch.'"
The question of what tax measures could come next prompted a
letter from Rangel to Ways and Means Chairman Thomas. Sources
said Rangel learned this week that GOP leaders were considering
trying to move a patients' rights bill quickly - even if it meant
having the bill go right to the floor. There may have also been
discussions about similarly speedy treatment for an energy-
related tax break measure. But Rangel and Ways and Means Health
Subcommittee ranking member Fortney (Pete) Stark, D-Calif., wrote
Thomas today "to express our strong opposition to such an effort,
and hope that you will join us in defending the jurisdiction and
rights of the committee to act in this legislative arena.? you
know, the Health Subcommittee already has had one hearing this
year on this important topic." Meanwhile, GOP leaders are
apparently eyeing a number of other priorities. House Republican
Conference Chairman J.C. Watts of Oklahoma renewed his call for
expanding tax deductions for charitable contributions in his
statement greeting Bush's signature of the tax cut bill. Majority
Leader Armey has said more tax relief should be on the way, but
he acknowledged it could be modest. - by Stephen Norton

TAXES
Bush Signs $1.35 Trillion, 10-Year Tax Cut Measure
Surrounded in the ornate East Room by a crowd comprised mostly
of elite Republican lawmakers, President Bush today signed into
law the $1.35 trillion, 10-year tax relief package. The
legislation, which largely takes its cue from Bush's signature
campaign proposal, was hailed by Bush as a historic achievement
ranking with tax reduction bills signed by former Presidents
Kennedy and Reagan. Bush praised the role of some of the handful
of Democrats on hand - including Senate Finance Chairman Baucus
and Sens. John Breaux of Louisiana and Zell Miller of Georgia.
"Tax relief is the first achievement produced by the new tone in
Washington," Bush said. Calling this "an era of steady
cooperation," Bush predicted, "more achievements are ahead." But
few Democrats showed up to witness this particular moment of the
new era. Among them were Sens. Max Cleland of Georgia, Robert
Torricelli of New Jersey and Reps. Ralph Hall of Texas, Ken Lucas
of Kentucky and Bud Cramer of Alabama. Republican leaders such as
House Speaker Hastert, Senate Minority Leader Lott, House
Majority Leader Armey, Senate Minority Whip Nickles, House
Majority Whip DeLay, House Ways and Means Chairman Thomas and
Senate Finance ranking member Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, were more
typical of those attending the bill-signing ceremony.
Senior Senate Republicans declared afterward that one of their
top priorities this summer will be to make the tax cut, which
expires in a decade, permanent. Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas vowed to
aggressively move the legislation as an amendment. "The first
thing we [have] got to do is make this [tax cut] permanent,"
Gramm told CongressDaily. "I intend to offer it at least a dozen
times." Nickles said Republicans will "be successful in either
extending the rate reduction or extending the zero bracket for
estate taxes, I think," but he acknowledged, "It's going to be a
challenge." Nickles added that he still will try to reduce the
capital gains tax from 20 percent to 15 percent, to provide tax
breaks for unemployed and those lacking employer assistance to
buy health insurance, and add tax cuts to the minimum wage bill.
Other tax cut vehicles, he said, could be the "Patients' Bill of
Rights" and the tax extenders bill. On managed care reform,
Nickles said, "there are some discussions going on, but I
wouldn't try to claim any optimism" about a deal. - by Keith
Koffler

HEALTH
Senate Readies For Debate On Patients' Rights Proposal
With the Senate still mired in debate over the education bill,
behind-the-scenes discussions are picking up on what is expected
to be the chamber's next order of business - debate on a managed
care "Patients' Bill of Rights." HHS Secretary Thompson was on
Capitol Hill today to meet separately with Senate Democratic and
GOP leaders to discuss a potential compromise on an issue whose
differences have thus far proved unbridgeable. President Bush
earlier this spring vowed to veto the bill Democrats intend to
bring to the floor - sponsored by Senate Commerce ranking member
John McCain, R-Ariz., Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., and Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions Chairman Kennedy. And Bush has
endorsed a competing bill sponsored by Sens. Bill Frist, R-Tenn.,
John Breaux, D-La., and James Jeffords, I-Vt. At the same time,
Rep. Charlie Norwood, R-Ga., who helped write the McCain-Edwards-
Kennedy bill - but deferred sponsorship while he sought to
negotiate with the White House - is continuing his efforts, but
signaled he will not wait much longer. After one of his meetings
today, Thompson tried to strike a conciliatory tone. "We hope
we're able to reach an agreement," he said, but added that "if
the president feels strongly and this bill doesn't reach his
principles, he will" veto it.
Meanwhile, backers of the Frist-Breaux-Jeffords approach said
new estimates from CBO show that their bill should represent the
final compromise. According to CBO, the Frist-Breaux-Jeffords
bill would, when fully phased in, raise health insurance premiums
by an estimated 2.9 percent. That compares to 4.2 percent for the
McCain-Edwards-Kennedy bill, and 2 percent for the GOP-sponsored
bill that passed the Senate in 1999. "Today's CBO report
illustrates what we've said all along, that our bill presents a
true compromise on the 'Patients' Bill of Rights,'" said Frist.
But the veto question appears the key to the upcoming debate.
Backers of the McCain-Edwards-Kennedy measure insist that the
president will sign virtually any patients' rights bill Congress
manages to pass. That prospect has frightened business and
insurance lobbyists, who vehemently oppose provisions that would
allow broad new rights to sue health plans in state and federal
court. Administration officials Wednesday denied widespread
speculation that Bush would soon issue a formal statement again
threatening to veto the bill, but also left what one source
called "wiggle room" if the Senate makes some, as yet undecided-
upon, changes.
While opponents of the McCain-Edwards-Kennedy measure fear
they lack the votes to defeat or even substantially change the
measure - it appears to have virtually unanimous support among
Democrats - save Breaux - as well as at least a handful of
Republicans, including Sens. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island and
Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania - opponents are more confident
about their ability to add to the measure a package of tax-
related health insurance "access" provisions. Some of those,
including a broad expansion of Medical Savings Accounts, could be
controversial. - by Julie Rovner and April Fulton

SENATE LEADERSHIP
Craig Predicts Senate Organizational Deal By Next Week
Senate Republican and Democratic leaders are nearing agreement
on a new organizational resolution for the Senate, although key
senators predicted the issue would not be resolved until next
week. Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, said he hoped negotiators would
be able to complete an agreement today. Sen. Pete Domenici, R-
N.M., said Republicans were "purifying" their own proposals to
decide how many points to include. Gramm and Domenici are part of
a five-member GOP task force assigned by Minority Leader Lott to
negotiate a new resolution with Majority Leader Daschle. Daschle
said today negotiations were "going well," but declined to give
details. The group is expected to meet again with Daschle today.
But before any deal is final, Republicans will run any
agreement that is reached by the entire GOP Conference - a
requirement that led Republican Policy Committee Chairman Larry
Craig of Idaho to predict a deal would not be finalized until
mid-week. Republicans have backed down on their requirement that
any new resolution include a mechanism to move presidential
nominations to the floor. Instead, said a GOP aide, negotiators
will assemble a memorandum or some sort of written statement, or
a colloquy for leaders to deliver on the floor. Democrats,
meanwhile, have given in to a GOP demand that committees be
expanded to reflect a one-seat Democratic advantage, rather than
bumping Republicans from panels. Said Commerce Chairman Hollings,
"I'm not comfortable with it, but that's what it's going to be."
Hollings' panel will grow to 23 members, a size he said will make
it hard to hold efficient hearings. "You get through opening
statements and, good God, the day is over," he said. - by Geoff
Earle

GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
Lieberman To Probe Decisions On Energy, Environment
Senate Governmental Affairs Chairman Lieberman today promised
not to use his new chairmanship to "practice the politics of
personal attacks and destruction," but said he will investigate
the high cost of energy, as well as ask the Bush administration
to explain its rescission of federal environmental standards.
"The current high price of energy and shortages in energy supply
in some parts of our country . will be the committee's immediate
priority," Lieberman said in an agenda session with reporters.
Lieberman has scheduled a hearing next Wednesday to look at the
deregulation of the electricity and natural gas industries and a
June 20 hearing to consider whether the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission has done enough to keep electricity prices reasonable.
"From all that I have seen . I think FERC has the authority to
act and should have acted already," Lieberman said. A cosponsor
of price cap legislation proposed by Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-
Calif., and Gordon Smith, R-Ore., Lieberman said he would not
ordinarily favor price controls, but said the lack of competition
in the Western energy market warrants them.
Lieberman said he also wanted to know how Bush administration
officials decided so quickly to roll back federal standards
regulating arsenic, forest roadbuilding and mining waste. "Who
did you talk to?" Lieberman asked rhetorically of the
administration's rapid rollback of federal policy long in the
making. He also said he would "put the breaks on any additional
plans the White House has to roll back environmental standards."
Lieberman said he had a good relationship with ranking member
Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., and said they would work together on
issues such as reducing government waste and abuse, electronic
government initiatives and attracting new and qualified federal
personnel.
As the Democratic vice presidential nominee in last year's
disputed election, Lieberman was asked to clarify his vow not to
use his committee for political retribution. "The difference
between oversight and overkill is in the eye of the beholder, but
you and I will know it once we see it," he said. When asked
specifically about whether he would investigate Vice President
Cheney's use of his official residence at the U.S. Naval
Observatory for a political event, Lieberman said definitively
no, but compared it to former President Clinton's White House
coffees. "It did make me laugh because the event and the
explanation of the event sounded very similar to what Republicans
said" about the coffees, Lieberman said. - by Mark Wegner

ENVIRONMENT
Interior Approps Panel Restores Bush Energy, Land Cuts
The House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee unanimously
approved an $18.9 billion spending bill today that restores
President Bush's proposed cuts in energy research and increases
funding for energy conservation and land preservation
initiatives, National Journal News Service reported. The measure
provides $1.8 billion for energy programs, an increase of $294
million over the administration's request. The panel included
$311 million for weatherization and state energy grants, which is
an increase of $120 million over last year's level, and includes
$940 million for overall energy conservation. Calling the
restoration of energy conservation and research funding
"crucial," given the nation's electricity woes, subcommittee
ranking member Norman Dicks, D-Wash., hailed the panel's "very
bipartisan effort" and dedication to conservation spending. "This
is a good example of how we can cooperate and work on a
bipartisan basis," he said.
In addition to the increased energy funding, the subcommittee
also agreed to provide $1.32 billion for the widely heralded land
conservation initiative launched last year as a compromise to the
controversial Conservation and Reinvestment Act. Although
significantly smaller than CARA, the conservation initiative
nonetheless represents a doubling of federal spending on a
variety of resource conservation programs. The bill increases
funding by $121 million over last year's level and $64 million
over the administration's request. The program includes $100
million for state wildlife grants, $45 million for wetlands
conservation, $47 million for historic preservation and $60
million in conservation incentives for private landowners.
House Appropriations ranking member David Obey, D-Wis., said
the increase in conservation funding keeps a commitment the
Congress made to the compromise program last year when
appropriators balked at CARA's 15-year budget commitment to land
programs. "That should send a message to the administration that
they ought to recognize a good deal when they see it," Obey said.
Appropriations Chairman Young said he expected the full committee
to mark up the Interior spending bill next Wednesday. - by Cyril

EDUCATION
GOP Criticizes Plan To Restrict 'Straight A's' Initiative
Republicans today said an amendment to the reauthorization of
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act exempting one category
of school funding from a trial program known as "Straight A's"
would gut a major component of the president's education bill.
The amendment to exempt 21st Century learning centers from the
"Straight A's" pilot program would remove almost half of the
available money and would discourage states from participating,
Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said. If the amendment passes, it would
"certainly be a blow to the bipartisan coalition that has worked
on this bill," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine. The "Straight
A's" program was taken out of the bill on the House side, so
Frist said it was essential the provision stay in the Senate bill
when the bills go to conference. Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.,
who is sponsoring the amendment, said he still plans to move
forward on it.
Meanwhile, the Senate set aside another Dodd amendment today
after Republicans threatened a filibuster, delaying a potentially
explosive vote which Republicans said goes to the heart of
whether Congress wants federal or local control over schools. The
amendment would require states to "achieve comparability of
education opportunities" among their schools, and was watered
down from earlier, more specific language. "This is not radical,
this is common sense," Dodd said during floor debate. Senate
Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Chairman Kennedy said the
amendment does not interfere with the president's initiative and
encourages states to provide "additional focus and attention on
poor and underprivileged children." But Collins said it was an
"attempt by the federal government to set national standards." -

Jackson Meets With Lawmakers To Discuss Electoral Reform, Other
Issues
Rev. Jesse Jackson was on Capitol Hill today meeting with
Senate Majority Leader Daschle, and Sens. Christopher Dodd, D-
Conn., and Russell Feingold, D-Wis., to discuss electoral reform
and other issues, including judicial nominations. "I'm sure
hearings on electoral reform will begin this summer," Jackson
said, citing a report to be formally released by the Civil Rights
Commission Friday showing that minority voters in Florida were
overwhelmingly "disenfranchised." A draft of that proposed report
leaked out earlier this week, prompting criticism from
Republicans that it was inspired by partisanship. The commission
consists of four Democrats, three independents and one
Republican. Jackson said, "We must even the playing field for
certain voters." Jackson also said he was taking another trip to
South Africa to deal with the spread of AIDS in that country.

created to increase agricultural spending.

Daschle PAC To Hold Annual Gala
DASHPAC, the leadership PAC of newly minted Senate Majority
Leader Daschle, could not have picked a better time - fundraising
wise - to schedule its annual Washington bash than this evening.
Sources said the DASHPAC gala, which is being held at the 701
restaurant, is expected to pull in over $1 million and possibly
break the PAC's previous record. Tickets to tonight's gala are
going for $1,000 per individual, $5,000 per PAC or $10,000 for
corporate donors: the PAC has a $10,000 limit for contributors.
On K Street, lots of heavy lifting has been done by several blue
chip lobbyists, including Joel Jankowsky of Akin, Gump, Strauss,
Hauer & Feld; former Daschle staffer Rita Lewis of The Washington
Group; and former Texas Gov. Ann Richards of Verner, Liipfert,
Bernhand, McPherson & Hand.

Poll Finds Smith, Shaheen Tied
A new American Research Group poll shows Sen. Bob Smith, R-
N.H., in a statistical tie with Democratic Gov. Jeanne Shaheen,
but it also shows GOP Rep. John Sununu leading Shaheen by double
digits in a trial heat of the 2002 election. The poll, conducted
last Friday through Monday of 558 registered voters with a 4.26
point error margin, shows Smith leading Shaheen 42-41 percent,
with 17 percent undecided. But Sununu leads Shaheen 51-35
percent, with 14 percent undecided. Sununu has been contemplating
a challenge to Smith, who briefly left the Republican Party in
1999 during his unsuccessful presidential campaign, and the
Manchester Union-Leader reported today that many state
Republicans believe that Sununu has passed the point of no return
and will indeed challenge Smith in the GOP primary. However, a
recent invitation Sununu sent out for a June 10 fundraiser
headlined by former President Bush talks about a House re-
election campaign. In the letter, which refers to his 2000
Democratic challenger Martha Fuller Clark, Sununu wrote: "We had
a hard fought campaign last year. ... in less than six months
time, my opponent spent over $1 million ... already, she has
announced her candidacy for 2002. Our campaign next year will be
at least as tough, if not tougher." Sununu can transfer the money
to a Senate campaign if he decides to enter that race.

TRANSPORTATION
Airlines Offer More Voluntary Commitments To Improve Customer
Services
In an apparent effort to stave off potentially onerous
passengers' rights legislation, the airlines announced today they
are beefing up their voluntary commitments to improve customer
services and also are making those commitments legally
enforceable by including them in their customer contracts. House
Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Young and
Transportation and Infrastructure Aviation Subcommittee Chairman
John Mica, R-Fla., applauded the industry's latest commitment,
saying airlines should not bear sole blame for air travel delays.
Citing weather difficulties as the leading cause of delay, Young
and Mica also singled out local opposition to runway construction
as a factor in air congestion and delay. Fairly narrow
passengers' rights legislation pending in the Senate would
strengthen the government's hand in holding the airline industry
to better standards and was expected to come to the floor for a
vote in that chamber. Among the airlines' latest commitments, are
pledges to offer the lowest fare available on the telephone
reservation system, to notify passengers of known delays,
cancellations and diversions and to meet passengers "essential
needs" during long on-aircraft delays.

AGRICULTURE
Veneman Defends Her Undersecretary Choice
Agriculture Secretary Veneman defended a nominee for a top
position at her department against allegations he was insensitive
to minorities and favored corporate farm interests, the
Associated Press reported. Veneman, speaking to reporters after a
ceremony honoring former Agriculture Secretary Glickman, called
Thomas Dorr, an Iowa farmer picked to be undersecretary for rural
development, a "visionary thinker." Dorr's nomination has been
criticized by groups representing minority farmers and small-
scale farming interests. At Iowa State University in 1999, Dorr
observed that an economically prosperous area of his state lacked
ethnic and religious diversity. He also has suggested the
creation of giant farming operations in which individual farmers
would work together. The Senate Agriculture Committee has not
scheduled a hearing on Dorr's nomination. Senate Agriculture
Chairman Harkin has not taken a position on Dorr. In a recent
letter to the committee, members of the Congressional Black
Caucus said they were shocked that a USDA nominee "would express
the belief that ethnic diversity is an impediment to economic
growth."

THE FINAL WORD
"We both have a clear understanding of important issues - like
endangered species. After all, he's a Democrat from Kansas and
I'm a Republican from California."

unveiling of the official portrait of former Agriculture
Secretary Glickman.
