It's a key race and we have been close to Ashcroft for years. Let's make sure he knows we gave it.... we need to follow up with him. Last time I talked to him he basically recited the utilities' position on electric restructuring. Let's make it clear that we want to talk right after the election.

This is the race where Governor Carnahan is the challenger. Enron PAC has contributed $10,000 and Enron has also contributed $15,000 soft money in this campaign to Senator Ashcroft. Ken Lay has been personally interested in the Ashcroft campaign. Our polling information is that Ashcroft is currently leading 43 to 38 with an undecided of 19 percent. Do we want to make a further soft money contriubtion of $10,000? Joe
