I have attached BPA Transmission Schedulings' response to the questions
posed by Bob in his email dated May 21 below.  If the group feels it would
be helpful to meet to discuss the timeline issues, I am in support of that
effort.  Otherwise, I look forward to the responses from the rest of the
group.  Thanks, Sue.
