Subject: the Jewish Parrot

I usually delete jokes, but this one is pretty funny:

The Jewish Parrot

> Sherman rubbed his eyes and ears. Couldn't believe it. The proprietor

> Nothing.

technical constraints are just technicalities and are easy to deal with).

write code (he has/had someone else doing it for him).

Remember how much fun (and easy!) it was to ride a bike as a kid?  Have you
ever considered joining Team Enron to ride your bicycle from Houston to
Austin in support of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society?  If the answer
is "yes" to either of these questions, make plans to attend an informational
workshop hosted by the Enron Cycling Club from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM, Friday,
February 2nd, in EB5C2.  Take advantage of the opportunity to ask general and
detailed questions about training rides, cycling equipment, signing-up,
pledging and the entire experience.

Saying to yourself "I can't ride my bike five miles much less 150..." then
seriously reconsider!  You only need to ride 300 miles total before the MS150
to get used to being on your bike.  Can't ride during the week?  No problem!
This training goal can be accomplish by simply riding on Saturday mornings.
Come to the workshop and learn more!  Don't delay - start training now!!

Paul,

An Amendment to Appendix "C" will need to completed by both the pool that the
meters are being transferred from and the pool that the meters are being
transferred to.  I have discussed this issue with Heidi Boyd at Columbia
Energy
and I believe she will complete this form on their behalf in order to delete
the
meters.  You will also need to complete this form in order to add the meters
to
Clinton's LGA pool once the Pooling Agreement has been completed and the pool
becomes effective.  I will fax the form to Heidi this morning.  It must also
be
signed by the producer.  Please confirm your fax number (614-760-2794) and I
will be happy to fax the form to you as well.

Hi Carol,

Can you help me with the below information?  I am looking to turn over our
local production.  After August we won't be in business anymore and this local
production that is in our name is really Enron North America's local
production.   I had suggested that Enron (Chris Germany) set up a local agg
pool or if he was selling it to someone else to let me know so that we can
turn
this production over ASAP.   I am looking to write a letter to Peoples to give
them formal intent and need to know if I need to include meter identification
numbers in the letter (currently I do not know what these numbers are).

I apologize for this being such a mess, but I have been trying to get this
cleared up and seem to have no luck.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Karen,

Please nominate a volume of 24,800 dth's for the month of July 00 for CES'
local production.

Please let me know if you need something more from me.  I understand that
Clinton Energy is setting up a pool and will soon be able to take over our
local production.  I will be sending in a letter soon relinquishing the local
production, is there a meter number or identification number that I will need
to mention in the letter?

Thanks,

Vince -

I certainly appreciate the opportunity to have our group attend
a session given by Enron Research.  While afternoons are typically
the best time to meet, we do have a trader's meeting each Mon & Wed
at 3:30.  If we can accomodate this regular meeting either by scheduling
an earlier meeting on Monday or going for Tue/Thurs, that would be
great.  Otherwise we can go ahead with the Mon @ 3:30 with an audience
that might be a bit smaller.

Thanks again

In recognition of all the hard work put in by Enron's Y2K Team, the
unfortunate timing of the Y2K bug, and the ultimate success of our Y2K
program, we will be holding a belated millennium rollover celebration at the
Cadillac Bar on Friday, March 24, 2000.  Spouses are welcome.  Please see the
attached invitation for details.

Hope to see you there!

Mark Taylor asked me to run something on Online Trading by you.  We got a
list of questions on various Online Trading issues from the Products Control
Group which appears to be the group the will be managing the Online Trading
HelpDesk.  One of their questions related to the desire of HelpDesk managers
to periodically listen in on phone calls with the customer to ensure what
they explained as a "quality control" over the responses given to customers
on the HelpDesk.  They explained it as being like when your credit card
company has an announcement that says the calls may be monitored from time to
time.

Is this something we want to do?  If we do, that brings up other issues, and
we will have to run this by our outside counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell.

Can you let me know your thoughts...Thanks!


Gerald, if we are going to raise a new master firm, we need to identify what
has changed vs the old agreement. Can you raise a black line old vs new so
that both ENA and AEC can see the changes.

Barry


Team
Here are my comments on Futures. Very minor comments


Okay... to ensure we are all on the same page. I've talked to Jill
Linkenauger and Heidi Griffith... and the following will be done.

Jill has forwarded to Heidi the CNR file for CES customers and their
addresses. Jill also forwarded the appropriate form that needs to be sent to
the producers, signed, and return to Enron.

Terry Franklin will be the Enron North America contact on the form for these
CNR producers (Jill estimates about 50 CES producers).

Later this week, Heidi will send the form to the CNR's CES customers. Heidi
will put Terry's phone number and address on the form.

We will need the Appalachian Traders (John Singer, Jim Javins, Jill
Linkenauger) to encourage the producers to sign this paper work and get it
back to Enron ASAP. We want the change over done by April estimates.

Jill said if the change did not happen in time for April estimates, she would
help send out the ascii file one more time. At the end of March, Jill will
end her employment with CES... so we can't depend on her in the future months
for this ascii file.

Thanks again for everyone's help in getting the change over done ASAP.

Rick,

This is the presentation and talking points Ken Lay will be using at the
Repsol YPF Harvard Conference in Spain this Saturday.  He will be speaking
for 50 minutes and then the floor will be open for discussion. He has been
asked to talk about what to do after California.. how there is still a case
for liberalization and the lessons for Europe.

 We are expecting comments from Europe regarding the talking points by
tomorrow morning. But because Ken will need this tomorrow by noon, I did not
want to wait until Europe's comments come back to show you this.  Please, let
me know if you have any comments.

Regards,

Ursula Brenner

Subject: Re: Deal # 339693 EOL Waha

Aquila split the volume between two points, that is why the deal changed.
The total volume was still correct.  I just found out today, from Stacie,
that a buy on EOL needs to be on the header and come from a PGEV Hub or Title
Tracking Agreement.   I had previously been under the impression that
whatever pipeline the customer wanted, buy or sell, was fine with us.
However, keeping the purchases on Hub Agmts. will save Enron
$.0025/transaction and push all imbalances and fees to the supplier.

Hi Ken and Jeff,

This email is being sent to let you know that my consulting contract with Enron has finally come to an end.  It has been a great experience to me to have been involved in the development of such successful international projects as, Puerto Quetzal in Guatemala in 1993, Batangas and Subic Bay in 1992/93 in the Philippines and Guam in 1996, all of which are still contributing to Enron's earnings.  The opportunities provided me during the first 26 years with Northern Natural Gas/Internorth, from which I retired in 1988, and the last 11 years as a consultant for Enron Development and Enron International have made me a better person and I thank you both for this.

I will continue to  be involved in consulting and development of both power and natural gas projects, although on a more limited basis, and only as an independent.

Should there be any need for my services or need to be contacted for any reason, I can be reached at:

Curly Baca & Associates, Inc.

Sara, I am forwarding this to you because as you will notice your last name
has been misspelled.  I have been speaking with Peoples recently about the
potential sale of some financial options via Enovate.  This has brought up to
issue of the ISDA agreement.  I don't know if you are the one working on this
specific ISDA, but I got your name off a document showing you as the person
working in general on ISDA agreements between Enovate and third parties.

I will call shortly to insure you receive this, and one more to follow, and
that you are the appropriate person.  If you need to reach me, my extension
is 36900.

Thanks,

Steve

Sara,

We were trying to finalize the ISDA between PEC and Enovate.
Fred is going to be out of the office until Thursday, but I wanted to
forward the ISDA information he has been working on.
Based on the ISDA materials attached, do you know how close (best quess:
number of days, weeks or months) we are to finalizing the contract?

Thanks,
Brian

In Case you did not receive the memo from the Office of the Chairman
regarding the Midyear Performance Review Process, please read below.

The mid-year Performance Management cycle will begin on May 15 with the
opening of the PEP system (the online "Performance Evaluation Process"
feedback system).  You will be receiving your password for this system in a
note to go out later from PEP.  In preparation for the cycle, four training
classes will be offered to all new employees and to those employees who have
not previously attended training.  Enrollment for these classes will be
offered through the Development Center "Ernie" system.  For employees who are
outside the Houston area, please contact your HR Representative for more
information.

These sessions will be held on :

Wednesday, May 10 from 9:00-10:00 a.m.,  and three sessions to be held on
Thursday, May 11 from 9:00-10:00 a.m.; 1:30-2:30 p.m.; and 3:00-4:00 p.m.
All sessions will be held at the Doubletree Hotel.

To register, click on this link to go directly to the Development Center

For those of you who have attended the training before and who are familiar
with the past Performance Management Process, there have been some
modifications:

1.  The Performance Management Process is now Enron wide.  All Enron feedback
forms have been reduced to three (Vice President (VP)/Managing Director
(MD);  Management/Professional; and Administration/Support), which all use
the following criteria:
? Innovation/Entrepreneurship
? Communication/Setting Direction
? Teamwork/Interpersonal
? Leadership/Vision/Values
? Business Instinct
? Analytical/Technical

2.  The following six performance ratings will be used consistently on the
final feedback forms across Enron:
 Superior
 Excellent
 Strong
 Satisfactory
 Needs improvement
 Issues

3.  There will be four recognized peer groups across the company for purposes
of the PRC (formerly the Business Review Meetings) meeting.
? Commercial
? Commercial Support
? Technical
? Specialized Technical

4.  The Performance Review Process will continue to be used to facilitate:
? Promotions - up to Director level only. There will be no officer promotions
to VP/MD at Mid-year
? Feedback to employee
? Compensation decisions
? Sharing of performance rating at Manager,s discretion

5.  PRC meetings will be reviewed by both functional area & business units
Both functional areas and business units will participate in the rating of
employees to cover both solid and dotted line reporting relationships.
Functional PRC meetings will take place first, followed by the final business
unit meetings.  Difference in views on an individual employee,s rating should
be discussed and consensus should be reached. The functional area meetings
are:

- Accounting
- Human Resources
- Government Affairs
- RAC
- Global Finance

6.  The PEP system is now available via the Intranet to allow greater access
from global locations and remotely. The functionality is essentially the
same. If you would like further information on how to use this system you may
gain access to the quick reference guide by clicking  on the attached
weblinkhttp://home.enron.com/announce/WebPEPQuickReference.pdf .  If the
Quick Reference does not display correctly on your PC, call your Help Desk
for assistance, or  Irma Alvarez at 713-853-1543 to get a hard copy.

7.  The general responsibilities remain the same regarding the overall
process:

Employee/Reviewer Responsibilities:
Select  5-7 reviewers
Complete self-assessment
Complete requested feedback forms
Reviewers who cannot provide feedback use the Decline Request feature

Supervisor Responsibilities:
Approve reviewers (at least 3 of the employee's choices)
Communicate modifications to employee
Participate in PRC meetings as required
Summarize feedback and complete appropriate feedback form
Communicate feedback to the employee

Schedule for Mid-year Performance Review

May 15   PEP System opens for feedback
June 9   PEP System closes for feedback
June 12   Functional/Business Unit PRC Meetings begin
July 20   PRC Meetings should finish
July 31/August 1 VP & MD PRC Meeting

As always, if you have further questions on the Performance Management
Process, you may contact your HR Representative.
