Ok.  If the FERC team in DC (Donna and Sarah) are ok, let's support this but let's make sure that we have outlined our "needs" and "wants" and "no ways" before going in.  Also, who would cover and can we do this in Houston (guessing most of the parties in town)?

I would say, no downside to supporting implementation of Settlement proceedings.  As one of the customers replied yesterday afternoon: "Count Phelps Dodge Corporation "in" for settlement conferences - possible certainty through settlement is preferable to several years of litigation."  I'd bet that FERC would be thrilled to see a settlement proposal, even one that was contested, given - as you say - that they are swamped with other issues.  With no settlement, any decision they issue that disadvantages one segment is sure to be litigated.  At least with a settlement, they stand a chance of getting something out of the process even though they might not get everything they want.

Feedback from Janie, presumably cleared by the Desk:  "I am deferring this to you but I don't see any reason we would have any problem with this  either."

Becky --

What's the upside and downside from the Settlement.  My only concern is that FERC is so swamped with issues may be overwhelming.  Where is our business going?

FYI.  Obviously, we would want to participate in any settlement discussions.  Do you see any reason why we would not want to support the motion to establish the settlement procedure?  SRP indicates that the ongoing proceedings would not be delayed.

Subject:	Motion To Convene Settlement Conference

Attached is a draft motion of Salt River Project to establish a date certain
for convening a settlement conference under Rule 602, in accordance with the
settlement package distributed on July 30. Paragraph 8 of the motion will
list all parties that are in support of this procedural motion.  A company's
support for the motion IN NO WAY reflects any agreement to support any
setttlement proposal.  It merely indicates a desire to initiate a parallel
settlement path without interfering with or delaying FERC's processing of
the ongoing proceedings. Please reply to all by COB Tuesday in advising
whether your company would like to be listed.  We intend to file on
Wednesday early afternoon.  Thank you.
