Knight in San Francisco. Also present were Lisa Hubbard, State Regulatory Affairs Director for San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDG&E) and Dorothy Duda, advisor to Commr. Knight. Ms. Huckabee stated that the FERC had set conditions for approval of the PE/Enova merger that were conditioned on the Commission's final decision. Ms. Huckabee stated that expeditious action by the Commission is necessary to keep the merger proceeding on track. Ms. Hubbard encouraged the commission to issue an interim order that the proposed actions will serve as a basis for determining necessary remediation in this area. She stated that such a finding would not pre-judge the proceeding as it would not be a decision on the merits of the merger, instead it would set a baseline for remedial action if the merger is approved. Ms. Hubbard stated that delays by the Commission in acting on the applicants' request could delay a final FERC decision in the PE/Enova merger past March 1998. On September 16, 1997, John R.
