Subject: Phone Calls w/Large Customers re: Core/Noncore Proposal

I've had several phone calls with large customer groups over the past
24-hours, mostly explaining our noncore/core proposal (in contrast to the one
that the Assembly Democrats have launched which would saddle business with
100% of the utilities' past debts).  As folks know, the cost shift provision
of the Dems plans have been erroneously attributed to us in some cases.

The business folks have been very appreciative of the discussions and have
recognized that, generally, our proposal is a fair and reasonable one.  They
are going to try to set up direct negotiations with Hertzberg and have
requested that I be part of those negotiations.  They are not sure that
Hertzberg will go along with the idea, but they're going to try.  They will
get back to me when they find out.  I'll report back soon as I hear
something.
