Mark:  Earlier this week I e-mailed you Southern Company's two attack papers 
on the MidAmerican/Stakeholders compromise legislative amendment on

are inaccurate.  

Both the full House Commerce Committee and full Senate Energy Committee will 
be in mark-up on electricity legislation on June 14th.  If you have not seen

"Electric Power Play....as Demands on the National Power Grid Raise the 
Possibility of Outages, Congress Struggles to Restructure the Electricity 
Industry."  We gave Margie Kriz background for her story.
