I appreciate your willingness to talk to David = about the DOE situation. He's a great guy and one of the best substantive = lawyers I've met. Short bio--U. of Missouri undergrad, Northwestern law sc= hool. He was a staffer after law school on the House or Senate Ag committe= e--I can't remember which. Big time federalist society member and knows al= l those ultra-right winger types. He was my partner at Wiley Rein and Fiel= ding and was the right hand man of Dick Wiley and Fred Fielding among the y= ounger partners--kind of an enforcer, future executive committee type (he k= ept me from getting fired a couple of times--I'm sure he regrets that now).= Dave wasn't an energy lawyer originally, but did a lot of work on my clie= nt stuff and took over my natural gas clients after I left Wiley. He also = did a lot of electric restructuring stuff (he was one of the lead lawyers f= or Penn. Power and Light and United Illuminating on the Order 888 complianc= e filings and Nepool and PJM Power Pool open access restructurings). He's= a Missouri native and got tired of the DC law firm rat race and moved to K= C. Currently a partner at Blackwell Sanders Peper Martin--does a lot of Ut= ilicorp/Aquila stuff as you'd expect. Dave's direct dial at work is 816-98= 3-8385 and his home number is 816-407-9026. =20 Mark--anything you can do to give this guy a sense of what life is like at = DOE would be great. I'm not sure how seriously Dave is being considered fo= r the DOE Dep. GC spot, but I know that Fred Fielding and Dick Wiley have d= one some pushing on his behalf. It may be that a call from you to someone = out there might put him over the hump. I'll leave that for you and he to d= iscuss. Thanks and good luck with your various adventures! df
