 	 	    Dear Eric,  OPEC Ministers tell ENL International Correspondent Wolfgang Vale they'll make an announcement Thursday morning.  Wolfgang will continue to bring us live coverage from the 117th OPEC Conference in Vienna, Austria Thursday.     From the NASDAQ, TradeSpark Managing Director Mike Williams will join us during the 9:00 a.m. ET newscast to discuss the resumption of electronic trading following the terrorist attacks.     The Washington bureau will follow up on the first FERC meeting under new Chairman Pat Wood on Thursday.  The Commission is considering a major push for Regional Transmission Organizations and several other new initiatives.  We'll get some perspective on the meeting from former FERC Chairman James J. Hoecker, Ph.D. , tomorrow during the 10:00 a.m. ET newscast.     Congress is on break Thursday, but the Washington bureau will bring us the very latest on efforts in the Senate to force a comprehensive energy bill to the floor.  Washington Bureau Chief Peter Cook says there are a lot of behind-the-scenes negotiations going on in an effort to see if there's time before the end of the year to consider an energy bill without disrupting the rest of the Senate calendar.    From the Houston bureau on Thursday, we'll have a report on Rice University's work on a satellite that will help detect weather in space several hours before it hits the earth.  ENL's Gale Smith says solar storms can affect power grids and power lines.  Join us for this report on Thursday.   Gale also says a new plan to clean oil spills in Texas is being brought to the table.  Top energy regulators say the new plan came about because the current plan didn't include input from enough of the "small guys."  On Thursday, Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Michael Williams talks about the new plan.   From the West Coast bureau Thursday, we'll have the latest on when California Governor Gray Davis plans to call the state legislature back into session to vote on a new Edison bailout plan.  ENL's Kym McNicholas will also bring us an update on the California Department of Water Resources' new payment plan.   Finally, Henwood Energy's North American Consulting Services Managing Director Gary Hunt will join us from the West Coast bureau on Thursday to discuss power plant displacement in California.  He'll also talk about competition between fuels at the margin.   Keep in mind things are subject to change at a moment's notice.  Occasionally guests cancel or change time slots.
