Buck Bacsett CASELOAD FORECAST-PANEL REREVIEW 0F SOUTH TEXAS T
I suggested to Herb Berkow this morning that the South Texas
\\
trip be postponed in light of the current travel money N.
situation.
Subsequently I received a call from Bill Menger of Houston Power and Light' requesting that the upcoming visit be delayed.
It seems that you did such a good job on the last trip that the reassessme task force needs'more time to sort out the existi
~ueri their construction schedule.
Incidentally, Bill w h ite enmp imentary about the job the Panel did on South Texas.-
To give HP&L sufficient time to complete their reassessment I agreed that we would postpone the revisit 2-3 months.
Bill assures me that by that time they will have developed useful data for us on South Texas, c
