We ran into Zoellick in the West Wing as we were departing. Zoellick told Ken that he understood our position. He indicated general agreement with us, but did say that if he is able to "trade" steel for a larger political deal on fast track or something of that level, he would entertain putting steel into play. Zoellick indicated that he would glad to have his senior staff visit with us further on the issue. Zoellick did not want to meet officially with us, given his former role as a Member of Enron's Advisory Committee.
