Re: [bc-gnso] Policy Calendar for 2-Jun-2011 BC Member call

[Frederick Felman <Frederick.Felman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marilyn –

Thanks for asking for our comment on the relaxation of price controls on the 
call today.  I'm sorry that I was unable to get to a place that was quiet 
enough to respond.  I'm at a conference and there was too much background 
noise.  MM does believe that this is a legitimate and material concern for our 
clients.

Further, I'm sorry that I had to leave the call early.  If there are follow-up 
items or support that you need from us Elisa and I are happy to discuss via 
email.

Best regards - Fred
