Hi "Bill":

THINK?
Unfortunately the "WE" you refer to is a totally unorganized, widely
scattered, vulnerable class of LILCO retirees who lack the most basic
requirements for defense of their benefits. In my opinion we should move
toward ORGANIZATION now !
The very question of: "Can we be represented 'at any agreement made'"is
one for counsel and we are so disorganized we could not be represented
by counsel in any way, shape, or form right now.
I think we should:
1 Develop a website as a presence on the internet to facilitate
communications within the group.
The website will become the hub for all
activities.
2 Develop a database of LILCO RETIREES which will represent the ALL
IMPORTANT
mailing list with which to further expand ALL
issues.
3 Charter a formal Organization and elect leaders.
4 Establish a financial foundation through voluntary contributions.
This is prerequisite to retaining counsel.
5 Strive, in every way, to protect the interests of ALL LILCO
Retirees, wherever they may be.
I am ready to work for these goals and to make the website
www.krcfla.com available for whatever use it may be.

Kessel suggests getting outside bids for management service contract if
National Grid deal doesn't.
BY MARK HARRINGTON
Newsday Staff Writer
March 30, 2006
The Long Island Power Authority, responding to recent indications that
National Grid's purchase of KeySpan Corp. may not translate into
significant
concessions for local ratepayers, broached the possibility yesterday of
putting its lucrative management service contract with KeySpan out for
competitive bidding.
I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD BE LEFT UP TO LIPA ALONE. RETIRED LILCO
EMPLOYEES
ALREADY CAST ASIDE BY LIPA, EVEN THOUGH THEY HOLD MANY OF THE ASSETS
THAT
PROTECT LILCO RETIREES' BENEFITS, THEY MAY NOW TRY TO CUT THEIR
OBLIGATION
TO FUND THOSE BENEFITS BY SEVERING THE CONTRACT WITH KEYSPAN, AND OUR
SECURITY: LILCO'S ASSETS, AND THE 1.1 MILLION CUSTOMERS.
THIS MAY BE THE ONLY CHANCE WE SHALL GET TO PRESERVE OUR BENEFITS, AND
ENFORCE THE SAFEGUARDS THAT PROTECT OUR RETIREE BENEFITS.
WE OUGHT TO HAVE LEGAL REPRESENTATION AT ANY AGREEMENT MADE. WHAT DO YOU
THINK?
