Rebecca, if you wouldn't mind I would like to sit in on the Monday meeting.
I think that Mariella from what I have seen and heard is very capable.  I
strongly believe that we need to put a dedicated (with fresh eyes) SWAT team
on this one that has control of the complete commercial, technical and
financial aspects of this project.  This is the only way to be effective.
Whether it is with you or me or both, I am indifferent

I would like to ensure that Kishkill, Wiggs, Gonzales and Alberquerque are
not buried in this project given other goals and objectives.

Thanks

Regards
Delainey

Dave,

I am sorry that I was unable to meet with you yesterday on Cuiba.  Jim has
told me what the two of you decided and it is fine with me.  Below is a note
that I received this morning from Pete.  The meeting he is referencing is an
indepth update on the project that I requested a week ago.  You are more than
welcome to attend if you would like to - just let me know.

I am not sure that Pete is the right guy to work this or not, but I do agree
that we need to introduce someone else into the process - I am thinking
either Chris Hunt or Mariella Mahan.  I would be happy to discuss with you
why I recommend one of those two individuals.

Subject: Cuiaba I Team

the list below is going to Delainey - it is accurate from my perspective - if
the project ends up in your shop for completion and fixing up - and if it
ends up under me - some of these part time guys should become full time and
some of the full time guys should take a back seat.

I would have the full time dedicated team be -

Jose Bestard (he currently is chief of regulatory for South America) - he
negotiated the original PPA and has indepth knowledge of how the regulatory
system does and does not work.

Joao Carlos Alberquerque - top notch Brazilian power expert - has the right
contacts and relationships and can get us through the maze of Brazilian
resistance.  Currently he is headed for wholesale merchant.

John Novak - best legal mind - needs to curb the use of outside lawyers a bit
- has been on the project continuous from day one - and needs to be
rejuvenated a bit - but has thourough understanding of how bthe entire
project is wired together.

Rob Gay - Finance

Laine Powell - is currently President of the oeprating companies - Cuiaba is
producing 300 mw of power which is being sold and paid for.

Felipe Ospina - modeler - I don't know this guy -  he is relatively new to
the project and seems satisfactory

Would recommend also a fresh set of eyes on the project - not front line
negotiator - but someone good at structuring - or work outs - to review
overall project structure objectively and challange conventional wisdom.

Other folks on the list below can support the dedicated team - part time.

Would tell these guys - this is your only job - and here is your starting
point - new deal.  Your job is not just to close financing - it is to get
Enron's money out or otherwise improve the returns of the project.    You
will get paid based on this point forward.   It will take at least 9 months
to implement a solution that improves our returns or gest more than just
financial close achieved.

This leaves some sticky situations - Rick Lammers has absolutely busted his
ass getting things done and moving the project forward - he has been lead
developer - but has had lots of "help" from Bannantine and the entire team.
Help tended to obscure responsibility and accountability.  I am not sure
anyone could have gotten this thing done by now - but certainly there were
some things that could have been done better - in 20/20 hindsight  - and some
things that can be done better now.  The things that come be done better now
- I am pushing into Laines's area of responsibility this week.  People need
to get rededicated and fired back up - I also think it is kind of difficult
to "take over" the project without making some changes in the way it is being
run.

For the review on Monday - I have asked the following people to present -

Rick Lammers
Laine Powell
Jose Bestard

Also in attendance will be John Novak, Joe Kishkill, Brett Wiggs, Rob Gay and
myself.

The guys asked if Jim Bannantine should be present - I said no - let me know
if you would like him there.

You should see - a brief description of the overall project (not the strategy
- just how it is wired together- where the money is intended to be be) and
then straight to a listing of all things that need to get done to "finish"
the project to the point where we have financial close and a functioning
supply and PPA.

Joe and I and Rob will be in Houston and the rest of the team will dial in a
conference call.

Let me know if the above format is ok.

This is how the logic is now within UBSWenergy.com:

All counterparties with Master Agreements with ECC that hit a US product must be booked as two legs:  leg one booked between ECC and the counterparty with risk assignment of FT-US/CAND-ERMS; leg two flipping the position out of FT-US/CAND-ERMS to the appropriate risk book (the book on the online product).  This applies only to finanical swaps and not physical deals.

Please let me know if there is going to be a change and if so what the deals should look like in Tagg.  The programmers need time to modify logic and I need time to test!

Thanks for your help.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Here's an update with the meeting room number - 2303


Mike -- Thanks for the input...we stewed over this for a while but decided to
respond (as briefly as possible) rather than give Norm a chance to whine to
the judge that we were being uncooperative in this somewhat unusual exhibit
drafting process.  Jeff's answer is consistent with what will appear in the
exhibit (and from what one can find out about TW in numerous of our FERC
filings, for that matter).  If Norm tries somehow to make Jeff's response
part of the record you can bet I will object...if it's not on the record
already, or on the face of this one late-filed exhibit, it should not be
allowed into the record.
Apparently Norm has also called Rich Hall with annoying questions.
I don't plan to respond if he contacts us with any follow-up, but will let
you know if he does.

Susan:

 Good response.  Be advised that Norm is a little out of order asking
discovery questions like this after the record is closed.  You are not
obligated to respond to him under these circumstances.  He is still trying
to buttress his apparent belief that the EPNG and TW capacity to the
California border is completely fungible and can be delivered to either
SoCal or PG&E without any limitations.  Please let me know if he tries this
again.  Thanks, Mike

Subject: Late-Filed Exhibit

In response to your inquiry, Transwestern would first like to clear up the
terminology being used here.  As you know, currently SoCalGas doesn't
assign "primary rights" to deliveries off of any interconnecting pipeline.
The establishment of tradeable rights for intrastate capacity is among the
issues currently under consideration in the GIR proceeding.   However, if
what you are asking about is what has been the historical or otherwise
available receipt capacity for Transwestern deliveries at North Needles,
then let me offer the following.

Transwestern has always operated on the premise that SoCalGas could
physically accept up to a maximum of 750 MMcf/d at its North Needles
receipt point.  Consequently, Transwestern has sold firm transportation to
its interstate customers for west flow deliveries to North Needles not to
exceed the 750 MMcf/d limitation.  Our west flow mainline capacity is 1.09
Bcf/d.

Sorry I did not get back with you yesterday.  We have been really busy around
here.  I called the person that I gave your resume to and she is on a
business trip until early next week.  Her assistant is going to have her call
me when she returns.  Apparently she left the day after I gave her the
resume.  I will keep you informed.  If you look on our website www.enron.com
and you see anything that interests you, let me know and I will put the

As a shareholder I am extremely happy that you are heading over to EES.
There is a business there.  They just need some help with the execution and
implementation.

I'm sorry to see you leave ENA.  The management style that you and John have
brought to this organization is the best I've seen.  The attention to details
and teamwork are really impressive.  Personally, I want to say thanks for all
of the support that you have provided to me and the West Power Team over the
last year.  Everything from acknowledging our suceessful business model to
helping us to refine it through improved metrics in the middle market to
supporting me and my guys through the PRC process has been greatly
appreciated!

With EES' large position in the west I'm sure we will be working together in
the future.  Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.  Good
luck.

Tim

Subject:	FW: Mt. Jesus payment

I received the following information from Oneok concerning the missing Mt. Jesus payments.  Lisa Voth, the condensate accountant for Oneok, stated she need the volume statements from Debbie Mosely reflecting the Mt.Jesus volumes and production periods.  Dan, do you have access to Debbie's spreadsheet statements?  If I can be of any assistance, please let me know.
Lynn, I left a message with Sherry Rodgers requesting all stranger gas statements dating back six months.

Each month I receive run statements from third party vendors showing volumes
of condensate purchased during the month, I also receive field tickets to
match up to the statements.  In regards to the Mt. Jesus location, we do not
receive such documentation.  We have no way to distinguish if any volumes
were purchased from Mt. Jesus since we do not receive statements, nor
tickets.  Our trader, Jon Hanna received a spreadsheet showing volumes NNG
believes we owe for the Mt. Jesus location.  Can you send me the
documentation NNG is using to come up with these volumes.

Thank you,

Here is a document Enron has prepared that describes what we want to see in a wholesale electric Standards Setting Organization (SSO).

I hope you will be able to consider these points for the letter you will be drafting from EPSA to the NERC Board of Trustees.

Please do not distribute this until Jose Bestard, as member of the Stakeholder Committee, has had an opportunity to convey this to Mike Gent.

We have confirmed a meeting to introduce you to Tom Young, EVP (and member,
O-I Board of Directors) and members of his management team at O-I
Headquarters next Tuesday, 8/15 at 11:30 am.  We have 90 minutes, Mr. Young
will be hosting us to lunch during our meeting.  Joe Lemieux, CEO, is
unavailable only because his calendar just didn't match up with your near
term available dates.  My strong bias is that the sooner we have an
opportunity to connect at the top the better, especially given our drive to
close in Q-3.

In addition to coordinating logistics, I will get briefing packets to your
offices Monday describing the proposed transaction, deal related issues
(details are not likely to come up during the meeting), key O-I personnel
bios, and general information about O-I and its current business, including
summary outside financial analysis.

Subject:  An Opportunity to Change Your Electricity Provider

Electricity Deregulation is coming to Texas!
What a great way to start off the New Year ? to be able to choose your
electricity provider, which could mean potential savings for you and your
family on your electric bill.  As you know, Enron has been a leader in
lobbying for deregulation and a consumer's right to choose energy
providers.

For the first time in our state's history, 5 percent of Texas households
will have this golden opportunity.  The NewPower Company (NewPower), which
is approximately 45 percent owned by Enron, was recently formed to provide
energy and energy-related services to residential customers in deregulating
energy markets across America, including Texas.  For a limited time,
Houston-based employees will be eligible to participate in NewPower's pilot
program offering their deregulated electric service.

Be Among the First to Participate:
Enrollment with NewPower begins March 12.  Also, watch for a special Enron
Employees Exclusive offer on your desk March 12.  If you would like more
information about NewPower, visit the company's web site at
www.newpower.com

Disclaimers:
Any contract for goods or services that is entered into by an Enron
employee with respect to the NewPower program shall be solely between
NewPower and such employee.  Enron assumes no obligation on behalf of
NewPower and makes no representations, warranties, or guaranties with
respect to NewPower, or any goods or services offered or provided by
NewPower.

?????CAN TRADING IN DECIMALS MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
?????FIND OUT AT DATEK'S FREE 7/12 WEBCAST (7PM ET).
?????REGISTER NOW!

Dear Gerald Nemec,

We're proud to announce another first from Datek Online: we're
the first major online brokerage firm to successfully introduce
"penny-wise" trading in decimals. This enhancement is made
possible in partnership with The Island ECN.

What is decimalized trading and why is it important?

First, the what. Most everybody feels that it's easier to work
in dollars and cents than it is to do calculations in fractions.
"Decimalization" is simply a fancy word for the financial markets'
switch from cumbersome fractions to an easy-to-understand
decimal system.

Now the "Why is it important?" part. Datek Online has led the charge
to trading in decimals because we believe that:

?????It is an investment advantage that is long overdue. Datek Online
?????is providing the momentum we believe is needed to speed adoption
?????of this improvement, industry-wide.

?????Trading in decimals allows investors to potentially gain
?????significant priority advantages.

?????Looking ahead, orders made in smaller increments should lead to
?????narrower spreads, more efficient markets and lower trading costs.

When could a penny ever get you so much?

Visit our Learning Center for more information on trading
in decimals.

Any Datek Online account you open now will give you the ability to
trade in either decimals or fractions. The choice is yours! Click
here to complete your application.

Sincerely,

Datek Online Brokerage Services, LLC
Member NASD / SIPC
www.datek.com

You were emailed because you are a current user of Datek
Online's Streamer. If you would like to be removed from our list,
please go to:
http://datek1.m0.net/m/u/dtk/d.asp?e=Gerald.Nemec%40enron.com

High volumes of trading and volatility may result in executions at
prices significantly away from the price quoted or displayed at the
time of order entry.

System response and access times may vary due to market conditions,
system performance and other factors. Trading in decimals applies to
Nasdaq securities only, which are represented on the Island ECN, an
affiliated broker-dealer.

Subject: ShareBuilder Update

Dear Sara,

Thank you for recently visiting ShareBuilder and opening your new account!
I hope you're excited to put the benefits of ShareBuilder to work in your
investment portfolio.  Regular investing over time can help you build wealth
with the stocks you believe in.

With ShareBuilder, we have made it easy by setting no account or investment
minimums; you simply choose which stocks you want to invest in, how often
you would like to invest (weekly, monthly or on a one-time basis), and how
you would like to fund your account.

Investors have already begun to accumulate some of the biggest name stocks.
Below are the most popular companies chosen by thousands of ShareBuilders
over the last few weeks:

1. Cisco - CSCO
2. Microsoft - MSFT
3. America Online - AOL
4. Nasdaq-100 - QQQ
5. Wal-Mart - WMT
6. Intel - INTC
7. Home Depot - HD
8. Lucent - LU
9. Qualcomm - QCOM
10. General Electric - GE

While ShareBuilder does the work for you, it can't start a recurring
dollar-based investment plan until you create a ShareBuilder Plan and specify
how
you want to fund your account.  I would like to encourage you to complete
your ShareBuilder Plan at http://www.sharebuilder.com!

Once you've completed your ShareBuilder Plan you only need to choose a
funding option to begin investing.  We offer three easy ways to fund your
ShareBuilder Plan: automatic transfers from your checking account, automatic
payroll deductions from your employer, or simply mail us a check.

If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate to contact
one of our customer care agents at mailto:customercare@netstock.com or call
us directly at 1-888-NET-STOK between the hours of 6 AM and 6 PM Pacific
Time, Monday through Friday.

ShareBuilder makes so much sense as part of your long-term investment
strategy. Visit us at http://www.sharebuilder.com and start putting
ShareBuilder
to work for you today!

Scott--My March '00 first-of-the-month numbers for AGL assumed that the total
daily firm load across all 9 pools would average 36,774 dth/day.  This would
be
met by a combination of maximizing the daily withdrawals from IBSS as well as
the Directly assigned storage supplies with the remainder served by flowing
gas.   On days when the firm requirement falls below the 36,774 (for March 1,
our combined DSR is currently 23,758dth), I don't want to reduce IBSS
withdrawals because we need to maximize those thru March in order to have that
inventory down to the 35% level by March 31.  Otherwise, we could be liable
for
penalties.   Instead, I would prefer to swing on the flowing gas, if necessary
and keep drawing the gas out of storage.

Please call me if you have questions or wish to discuss further.

There are a couple of changes as compared to the update that I sent you

requirements in the previous versions (in lieu of the daily dth volumes),
the
spreadsheet formula for summing the daily values to a monthly total were
only
picking up the first 29 days of March.  (This spreadsheet was originally
designed for February, which has 29 days.)   This has been corrected in the

Dear St. Arnold's Army:

Beer! Banjos! Bock! Bluegrass!
If you love bluegrass, the Grateful Dead, or both, this is the event for you.  If you loved the soundtrack to "Deliverance" but could do without the "Squeal like a pig", this is the event for you.  If you look forward to the rollout of Spring Bock every year, this is the event for you.  If you like yummy Tex-Mex, this is the event for you.

This Friday night, January 18 at the Garden in the Heights, the Yonder Mountain String Band will be performing (inside the Beer Hall in all likelihood).  This band takes bluegrass to a new level and has been known to jam on one song for an hour.  They just sold out the Fillmore in San Francisco (the Mecca of Bluegrass - OK, perhaps not, but they do like good music there) two nights in a row.  Come out and join us (overalls not necessary).  This email is good for $2 off the admission ticket.

When: Friday, January 18
Time: 6:30  Doors open
      7:00  Billy Bright Band (opening act)
      9:00  Yonder Mountain String Band (they're doing 2 sets - you'll get your moneys' worth)
Where: Garden in the Heights, 3926 Feagan
Admission: $10 with this email, otherwise $12 at the door
Food: Tex-Mex available, catered by a fine restaurant (where the Yonder Mountain String Band played their Last Concert)

Last Chance on Cigar Night
We have just a few spaces left.  Here's the info.  For reservations, please call the brewery or email dan@saintarnold.com.

Admission: $20 (includes the two cigars)
Date: Wednesday, January 23
Time: 6 pm - 9 pm
Where: Saint Arnold Brewery
       2522 Fairway Park Dr.

If anyone was supposed to receive his/her Hopwaiian shirt and has not, please let us know.  It's the ultimate beer fashion accessory!  Christian Dior wants to license the design from us for their show in Milan.

Also, please forward this to any friends on AOL, because AOL blocks our email missives (even though we don't spam).  Anyone with connections to AOL that can get us past this hurdle, please let us know!  Thanks for your support!

Points of recent US history:  O.J.; followed by San Felipe/Westheimer affair;
followed by Clinton/Lewinsky debacle; followed by US election fiasco - not a
good run for the old US of A.

Denial of the Westheimer/San Felipe thing is intriguing - in fact (in keeping
with recent US history) a bit O.J. like.  Your DNA evidence was all over that
place.  To paraphrase:  "If the GMC Jimmy fits, you must admit!"

In any event, it seems while the Brits were frying fish, they passed along
the election and democratic traditions from those Asian and African colonies
to the American colonies, but that is only now being figured out.  It seems
the Brits had the last laugh indeed.

Interesting US constitutional issue.  If the matter is resolved in Congress,
I understand that the House of Representatives decides the President and as
the House is narrowly Republican, they would likely choose Bush.  But the
Senate then decides the Vice President, and as the Senate seems deadlocked,
the decision then goes to the sitting Vice President - Gore - who could
choose himself or Lieberman.  God I hope that happens.

Peter.

I'm afraid I'm still none the wiser . Anyway , points of history : (1) Yes ,
we did , technically , lose the American War of Independence but it was
because we got sick of it and had other "fish to fry" in Asia and Africa ,
plus it was really a civil war because the people who "beat" us were ,
largely , first or second generation "Americans" and , therefore ,  Brits
(for example , George Washington's family home is still there close to my
home town of Sunderland in North-East England ) and (2) we never lost to the
French , we agreed to give them the worst bit - Quebec - in return for some
tastier possessions elsewhere .

my fellow Canadians being subjected to official and legally mandated
bilingualism).

To the point, I believe San Felipe is the battle field adjacent to the
Westheimer battle field, where the Brits (or at least one of them) were
purportedly waging a more efficient war, until being caught red handed on the
battle fields of San Felipe, where, all the while, the Canadian forces (or at
least one of them) were so successfully conquering the enemy.

Subject: Nice VP and possibly Pres.

When I look at Al Gore I continue to be amazed that one, let alone 50
million, Americans voted for him.  Both Clinton's and Gore's continued
shamelessness, and disregard for doing the right and decent thing, is only
slightly less amazing than the American people (or at least half of them)
continuing to find reasons to support them.  My only, yet substantive, vested
interest in the outcome is that we are inundated with US T.V. and I can't
bear the thought of looking at Gore (and God forbid Hillary) for the next
four years.  If they don't settle this Florida thing, I am going to have it
have my cable disconnected.

We vote in our federal election on November 27th.  We will not have any such
problems however - not because we are any better than anyone (in fact, I am
not entirely confident that most of my fellow Canadians will understand, or
have ever have understood, the ballot or voted for who they thought they were
voting for) - but rather because of the political system which Jon's
ancestors were so kind to bestow upon us, which I refer to as "parliamentary
dictatorship''.

(Sorry Tana if you are a Democrat, but that is the independent middle of the
road - yeah right - view of a Canadian observer.  Jon, I cannot, however,
apologize for the political ruin which your system of Government has brought
upon us, other to acknowledge that the problem my not be the system but
rather our screwed up regionalization of your unified parliamentary system
into 11 separate parliamentary systems - and I suppose that could be
construed as an apology of sorts, except, for the record, I will never
apologize to you for anything until you make a public, i.e. to Tana and me by
e-mail, confession of your sins on San Felipe.  For that matter, you are as
bad as Clinton and Gore.)
