 LOS ANGELES, July 1 (Reuters) - California Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger declared a fiscal emergency on Wednesday,
clearing the way for the state to suspend payments owed to
vendors and local agencies, who will instead get "IOU" notes
promising payment [ID:nN01478973].
 California expects to issue $3.6 billion of IOUs for the
month of July, $424 million of which is related to state
operations, primarily vendor payments. Small business vendors
account for a separate $141 million of the IOUs.
 The current IOUs are unlikely to have much of an impact on
large corporations, experts said. Here is a list of some
publicly-traded companies with state contracts:
 American Express Co (AXP.N)
