Sorry for the overreaction on Fri. I was having a very bad hair day. It seems like no harm, no foul. I need you to keep your finger on the pulse on this issue. I called Zach Starbird( Mirant) about the issue and he was surprised that Mirant had voted in favor. Can you call Brian Holman and see where they stand. If you know any of the other attys well enough, please call them and lobby them also.I am in South America this week, but would like to be on the conf. call thurs. Can you make sure I have the #s.


With respect to the PX settlement, I am an unenthusiastic supporter. Please let me know if the proposal changes.

Richard, sorry about the mix up.  The damage has been undone with a call to Weg and Cohen changing our vote to a loud no.  I apologize.  I really don't want to be out in front of the client, particularly in a case in which I myself cringe at the creative ways lawyers are coming up with to keep themselves busy.  When I couldn't reach you before the committee conference, I called Lisa to ascertain whether she still was in the PX loop.  We talked about the committee call.  She actually participated for the first few minutes to express her view that our committee should not be filing in formal motion to expand the PG & E committee.  We briefly discussed the arbitration issue, and she did not appear adverse to commencement of the arbitration.  Maybe that wasn't formal clearance to vote.  Lesson learned.  I want to avoid any such problem in the future.  Unless I hear otherwise from you, on substantive issues I won't vote until I clear positions with you personally.  However, we have to find a better way for me to get your take on particular points because they will continue to arise as Weg and Cohen (not to mention other attorneys who participate on the committee) urge the committee to take actions in the interest of discharging our fiduciary duty.  Case in point, the Weg settlement.  Have you decided whether to withdraw the approval you previously communicated.  If it would help the communication, I'm perfectly willing to talk with you evenings or weekends.  Then again, you wife might react like mine if her privacy at home is interrupted.  In any event, assuming that Enron wants to stay on the committee, probably a good idea just to reign in the lawyers, let me know how we can most effectively communicate so that I know your position and can convey it when you are not available for a call.  Incidentally, with you impending trip, feel free to call me over the weekend at 626-683-7644 if you want to discuss this further.  Bob
