Subject: NDN and DLC

I have been called by Simon Rosenberg at the NDN.  He said that things are
deteriorating for many of his members who want to take a balanced approach on
the crisis.  He said their internal polling have energy issues and their
impact on the environment on thee top of the priority list in the New Dem
districts.  Simon reported the surge in interest in energy is shocking.  He
said Lieberman may have come out early in support of price caps and
investigations...but others may follow.

Chuck Alston with the DLC called the same day to tell me that they are
hearing similar concerns from several New Democrats and Chuck said they may
be pushed into supporting cost-of-service-based rate making.  He and Will
Marshall REALLY do not want to do this. I told him that we would oppose this
and that we wanted to work with them to find other solutions.

Note that the NDN is hosting an energy event in late June where we will be
listed as co-host as an executive committee member.  I told Megan that making
it a fundraiser was not a good idea, instead make it a membership recruitment
event.
