Hello all,

I look forward to this meeting.  Since the time Vince and I last spoke, we
have really gained some traction in this area of improving our relationships
with universities.  I am going to take the liberty of inviting Mike Rosen to
the meeting.  Mike has done a great job on several relationship-based special
projects, and I'd like to hear his thoughts as we develop the angles of this
initiative.

See you tomorrow,

Mark

One of my partners, David Schrader, was opposite Joe Dunn for four years in
litigation in Southern California.  He tells me that Joe's strength is his
presentation -- low key, sincere, effective in deposition, good with Judges.
However, he is not rated as being all that smart.  He still maintains an
office with Mark Robinson, a prominent heavy hitter plaintiffs' lawyer in
Southern California.  During this litigation, he was the coordinating
counsel for the plaintiffs in the breast implant litigation.  Thus, he is
very well connected to the plaintiffs bar and they probably funded part of
his campaign.  David believes that Dunn aspires to higher offices.

One other partner, Greg Williams, reports that he knows Joe Dunn very well.
I will report as soon as I have spoken with  him.

Thanks
Gary

Subject: John W. Schultes v. McDonald Investments, etal

Bonnie, Jim Studdert has assigned me the lawsuit of John W. Schultes v.
McDonald Investments, etal., wherein ENA and ECT Thailand are named
defendants.

I have reviewed the lawsuit and have determined there is an obligation to
defend this entire matter given the allegations associated with &Personal
injury8, which means injury, other than "bodily injury", arising out of oral
or written publication of material that slanders or libels a person or
organization or disparages a person's or organization's goods, products or
services, and/or oral or written publication of material that violates a
person's right of privacy.

A review of the Complaint indicates there are allegations associated with
Defamation Per Se, Defamation Per Quod, and Invasion of Privacy.  All of the
other allegations are predicated on &intentional8 conduct/activity, which
would not constitute an &occurrence8 which has resulted in &bodily injury8 or
&property damage8.  Thus, while we will defend the entire lawsuit, we will
only contribute to a settlement or respond to an award for damages associated
with the aforementioned counts, assuming such were not made with knowledge of
their falsity.

I note suit was filed on February 22, 2001.  As such, please immediately
provide me with the following for our file:

* The identity of defense counsel and a copy of the Engagement Agreement
which was provided to them (please include copies of all required monthly
billing statements which they have submitted thus far so we can consider
reimbursement to the operating company from the date we were first given
notice of this matter).
* Provide a copy of the Answer and any other pleadings filed to-date.
* Have defense counsel provide their analysis of our alleged exposure, if not
done already.
*     Advise who is the assigned ELU Legal Assistant assigned to this matter
so we can advise them to copy us on all correspondence going forward.

Following receipt of the above, it may be a good idea to meet and discuss
this matter.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks,

Robert,
 Where is the description of our right-of-way which we want to put in this
document before we send it out.  I think we need to change the first
paragraph, but I need to see the description to verify.  Is it intended that
we are dealing with only one owner, or is this developer using a different
ownership for each development.  Maybe it is all one development?  Otherwise
the form looks okay.  Should we consider adding language regarding duration
of easement grant, i.e. abandonment after 5 years of non-use.

Dan,

I have previously discussed this proposed easement with Barbara
and Ann Elizabeth.  In a nutshell, a large developer wishes us to
define a series of mainly undefined easements in Fort Bend
and Brazoria Counties.  My response to them was to release the
earlier easements and in their place sign a single new easement with
language most favorable to HPL.

Attached is a draft of my proposed easement.  Please review
and make any changes you deem necessary or desirable.

Thanks!!!

Jim:  Thanks for your update.   As you recall, Phil attended the April 2000
Congressional staff trip to the Enron building.  Further,  for years we have
negotiated directly with his boss on electricity legislative efforts and we
have gained his support and leadership for Enron's positions.  We continue to
constantly update him and all staffers on our positions.  We will continue to
do so with yearly fact finding trips to Houston, meetings, letters, hearings,
briefings, coalition building, ope-eds, etc.  Fact is, the California issue
climaxed after federal legislation was declared "dead" for this Congress.  As
such, other active legislative vehicles have claimed Congressional
attention.  Thus, Phil was referring to a recent Senate hearing on the
California situation (October 5th) where we supplied questions, information,
etc. that no other member except Senator Gorton attended (i.e. low
interest.)  Having said this, as the cycle ramps up after the elections and
the new Congress convenes in January and February, Congressional interest
will return with "understanding" California being a key focus.  Educating on
the California situation will be amongst our primary objectives although in
the Congressional downtime, we must continue specific efforts with key
targets (i.e. Congressman Barton, Congressman Tauzin, Senator Murkowski,
etc.).  This is why, for instance, I had requested travel approval to attend
the Rippon Society's trip with the Speaker and these members in order to be
able to take advantate of opportunities to educate in informal settings.  We
will continue to find other opportunities and make opportunities to visit
with these Members while they are out of D.C. between now and January.

As for Private Use legislation, Enron developed and led the strategy which
brought EEI to the table with resulting final consensus legislation.  This
consensus came very close to being added to the tax package which may move
Friday but was dropped due to its high price tag.  As for NAERO, there is NOT
consensus.  In fact, we support Senator Gorton's version of the bill but
oppose Congressman Wynn's version.  Since Joe Hartsoe has been the lead with
NAERO, I will defer further comment to him.  As for comprehensive
legislation, the Senate came very close and indeed pass a bill out of
Committee.  The issues that doomed the bill were the two "non-consensus"
issues:   the native load exception and RPS (which indeed a deal was actually
cut.)  In truth,  we also had cut the deal on native load exception but
consensus came too late in the year for EEI and NARUC to formally sign-off.
This is why we have tried to get the EEI process moving now.

Thank you again for your speech and the update.

		 Subject: Congressional Opinion of Restructuring

Cynthia, et al --

FYI.  I was on a panel with Phil Moeller today in Las Vegas (he was the
moderator).  Very nice guy.  No real issues developed.  I used (very
liberally) Steve Kean's testimony in San Diego to talk about California and
some material on RTOs.  My speech is attached below.

Phil indicated that he thought that there was agreement on the Public Power
Tax issues and on NAERO language.  He highlighted that comprehensive language
could be difficult if not impossible next year.  (Joe - can you please send
me a copy of the NAERO bill and any summaries).

While Phil seemed to have a great sense of what is happening in California
and the electricity markets, he indicated that many of his staff collegues
were not so up to speed.  Any way that we can help them out before their
minds are made up?

Jim


Attached are the referenced lists.

With respect to the list for 5/8/00, Imperial Oil Resources and Pengrowth
Corporation were on the initial approval lists.  We have a duplicate Global
Counterparty # open for Imperial.  The second one needs to be shut down.


Gerald:

The Restated Agreement looks fine to me.  Chris Hoekenga has not had an
opportunity to review it yet and might have some minor revisions once he
does; however, in discussing the issues with him, I believe you've adequately
addressed the concerns in this draft.

Since I won't be at the member's meeting next week, I'll try to take a look
at the other two documents you indicated are on the way as soon as I get
them.  That way I can at least let you know if I see any glaring issues.

From a credit standpoint, potential risk of this 25,000 bbls/mo, May'01,
financial swap is very small.  But I recognize ECP issues since no support
and no information has ever been available.  Can we include a representation
that, upon execution, would establish eligibility.  I will manage credit
under volume/tenor limits and implied support of a AA parent.  If acceptable,
please send language to Confirmations for use in this (v24545) and all future
trades.

Yes, "eligible contract participant"  ("ECP") is an issue.  Both ENA and
ECTRI are Delaware corporations and are therefore subject to the jurisdiction
of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the U.S. regulatory agency with
oversight for derivatives).  As a practical matter, I understand that ECTRI
does have many executed ISDA agreements.  I do not know the volume of
"omnibus" trades.  However, the ECTRI omnibus should have ECP representations
in the annex.

financial requirements

A financial trade v24545 was done with Total International Limited.  This
entity is subsidiary of a very good credit customer, TotalElf (S&P rated
AA-).  Risk is acceptable, small volumes, short tenor, but from a legal
standpoint, I do not think this entity is an "Eligible Contract Party" as we
have no guaranty support or financial statements to support trading.  I
noticed that quite a bit of financial trades are currently booked in London
with this customer.  Does Enron Capital & Trade Resources International Corp.
(London financial) have the same ECP requirements as ENA.  If so, I would
like to know how they have established eligibility.

Will we be covering this?  The utilities in California have been heavily
engaged in maintaining "fortress monopoly" at home while advocating
"openness" abroad.  Any info showing the discrepancy is useful.  No big
deal.  Just curious.  And if someone does, a very brief update would be
greatly appreciated.  Best, Jeff

I think it would be useful to verify their view that they are really only 2-3
years from commercial production.  Ideally, we could get that confirmation
from someone familiar with the technology but without any financial interest
in its success.  Their technology pitch sounded good, but I don't know enough
to recognize the potential shortcomings.  I want to feel comfortable that you
all feel this is real, then I would be happy to have me and my team spend
some time with them.

Subject: MEC

Thank you for participating in yesterday's meeting.  We spoke with Harvey and
Jim after the meeting and they took to speed to market comments to heart.
There is an opportunity for Enron to participate with MEC in the early
development of their company, but it seems the one thing they want is the one
thing we also want, people.  I would appreciate your thoughts and comments on
the possiblity of creating a small team that could work directly with MEC as
part of a potential investment and strategic relationship.  Given our
resource constraints, this would most likely be part of the organization that
sees the greatest strategic impact from MEC's development.
