The bill is designed to require transmission companies and generators to release operating data on a real time basis. Unfortunately, comments by Senator Wyden made at the FERC nominee hearing left the impression that he is gunning for evil marketers, including Enron. Most importantly, that impression was left with McLane Layton of Sen Nickles office who has been asked to support the bill. Wyden claims he was "misquoted". Nonetheless, impress upon him that Enron is sticking its neck out on the bill because other marketers and generators do not necessarily agree that more information should be disclosed and that we are not eagre to lend our support if this is going to be turned against us. I have attached the bill language (it has not been introduced).
