Re: Case No. IPC-E-01-43
Dear Mr. Ripley:
It has come to our attention that there may be an evidentiary challenge to Keith Hessing’s testimony at the hearing scheduled for February 21-22, 2002. Specifically, we believe that an attempt might be made to question the reliability of the forward market prices Keith has used to support Staff’s case. Accordingly, Staff would request that you make the trader, who obtained these prices, available at the hearing in the event it becomes necessary to lay additional foundation for Keith’s testimony in this regard.
Sincerely,
John R. Hammond
Deputy Attorney General
