In addition, by mail, I have forwarded to you Southern Company's lobbying piece to also oppose the MidAmerican transmission compromise. Chairman Murkowski told Ken Lay he would only support the compromise language if NARUC supported the language. Well, we now have the answer. We are lining up sponsors for our amendment package with Senators Bingaman and Fitzgerald agreeing to be lead sponsors plus others willing to cosponsor including Gorton and Nickles. Staff confusion and locking down the exact amendment language are our immediate challenges now. We do not expect the mark-up to conclude in the Senate Energy Committee tomorrow, thus, giving us time to pass our amendment package upon Congress' return from the Memorial Day break. - NARUC Letter 5-23-2000.doc
