thoughts on messages..couldn't 1 and 2 be combined...the thinking in Sacto by 
people like Rod is to come up with a portolio approach for the utilities..do 
you think considering what has been going on at the CPUC that using natural 
gas deregulation is a good example, even though it is, but it may set off red 
flags.  I think that the action point on 3 should not focus on the CPUC as 
with the current climate it will never happen there..I assume it will have to 
be legislative action or the legislature ordering the CPUC to do it.As to 
streamlining of regulations, we should talk about a clean up of last year's 
legislation..particularly regarding union contracts...as to air quality, Sam 
is hesitant at this time, to raise air issues, while they are in serious 
negotiations with some of the projects, and he is afraid that the legislature 
could highlight these and they could go south..inter basin transfers is a 
good example..it can be done without legislation..having local permitting 
done concurrent with the CEC process is one important issue..in terms of 
actions, I would rather say that we are working closely with the CEC.  We may 
also want to mention Rod's idea of public private partnership and how we want 
to flesh that out..he is open to suggestions.
