Subject: FW: beginning work

I am not trying to flog an issue or point, but in going through some recent,
but still dated, e-mails, I saw this one from Professor Littlechild.  It
gives you some sense of what he is trying to work on for us.  It does not
really do justice to all that he can do and has done, but before I delete
this, I wanted to pass it along.  I know Peter supposedly has this marked in
his diary for cancellation on the day it comes due, and you may well decide
that that is the appropriate course of action, but at least wanted to pass
this along, because I think any decision to cancel needs your objective
evaluation, something I think is lacking in Peter's judgment (how you can
decide to cancel without having seen the man's work, plus I do not think
Peter appreciates/understands the value, nor the nuances, of the argument
that you need a contracts market and retail competition, otherwise he would
support this work, since it bears directly on the Acceleration Directives
that he is supposed to be pushing in Brussels!).  Hope all is going well.
See you at the PRC if not sooner.   mcs
