Jim -- I did a quick review of this and while I tend to agree with the comments, I know that you had sent the questions to National Grid and I am not sure of where we stand with them and don't want to aggrevate them if we are trying to work with them....
so I told Kerry not to sign on to this filing (since it is due today ASAP).  We can do a "me too" if necessary.

Attached is a revised version of the protest to the definitive agreements.  To
ensure we have authority to sign, could you make sure that we have correctly
placed you
on or off the pleading.  Please contact me directly (202-879-5097) at your
      earliest convenience if you have comments or changes.  We intend to file
