I have had some initial discussions with the US Consul General here,
following up on his lunch with Ken Lay on April 4, and will be meeting
tomorrow with two consular officers in the areas of energy and commercial
relations.  Evidently the Consul General  - and I am led to believe  the new
Ambassador  -  are  now prepared to weigh in on the market opening issue -
precisely how, we will find out tomorrow.   The meeting is at 10:00am EST and
I have contacted  Linda in the hope that some one from the Washington office
can join in the discussion.   I will fax you all down the recent press
articles about recent remarks by Cheney and the Premier in Toronto about the
value to the US of generation development in Ontario.  Aleck
