Mark:  I apologize for not copying you on this message yesterday.   We
received confirmation from Pat Markey yesterday morning that global liquids
will start on-line trading January 5th and that we needed to expedite the
on-line confirmations asap.  In the process of preparing the confirms we
realized that minor changes needed to be made to ELFI and ERAC's GTCs so we
forward them directly to Dale Neuner.  David Forster called me last evening
and I went over the changes to each of the GTCs with him.  He said that he
will make the changes right away so that we will have the revised version
on-line this morning.

Thanks.

Nony,

Global Liquids is definitely planning on starting trading on January 5th.
Therefore, we need to get the templates fixed ASAP.  I think the language
changes should be minimal; however, this will help to clean up any
inconsistencies in the current language.  Please give me a call today at
X31720 when you get a chance to discuss.  Also, I'm not sure if you've worked
with the crude confirms as well.  They have some inconsistencies in their
language as well.

Thanks,

Pat Markey


Tim, I would like for us to discuss this issue. Normally we do not "settle" on these
	type of issues.  I want to be consistent with how we have treated other shippers when
	we have found errors in the system.  Doesn't mean we can't do a settlement,  we just
	don't want it to back fire on us.

	Ava, please set up some time on Thursday for Tim, Mike, Bob, Sue and I to visit.

	Thanks. Lynn

Subject:	RE: US Energy/LS Power storage allocation issue

I want to clarify the problem. In researching the problem I found that the rate retrieved for PnR was slightly higher than the rate retrieved for FDD Overrun. In our discussions with Bill Anderson, we focused  on how this impacted the contract he asked us to review. Bottom line is in storage allocations, the LSP -Whitewater overrun activity should have received a greater portion of the available injection capacity.
The IT group is correcting the problem. The 7.61 cent PnR rate will be hard coded in the allocation program this afternoon as interim fix until the proper system modifications are ready.

Subject:	US Energy/LS Power storage allocation issue
Importance:	High

Hello,

Mike Bodnar and I called Bill Anderson at US Energy today regarding his complaints about the storage allocation process.  Bill has claimed that LS Power is being allocated down to zero on days when he should be receiving a pro-rata share of the overrun injections on any given day throughout the summer.

Mike found out that LS Power - Whitewater was being incorrectly allocated down to zero on certain days throughout the summer due to the system pointing to an incorrect (discounted) overrun rate for the storage account of LS Power - Whitewater.  LS Power was being charged the full, non-discounted overrun rate on their FDD contract.

US Energy will undoubtedly want to negotiate a settlement of some sort, since they believe this has been an issue since 6/1/01.

I believe we need to do the following:

1 - Determine if the other LS Power plant (Cottage Grove) was also affected by this system error.
2 - Determine the date that the incorrect rate took affect.
3 - Determine how LS Power overrun injections throughout this summer were affected by this, since 6/1/01.
4 - Determine a fair and equitable solution to this issue (as of 6/1/01) to present to the customer within three weeks.

I will set up a video meeting as soon as possible with regards to this issue.

Tim Johanson

I also wanted to clarify a point on the Tom Brown form of gathering
agreement.  The revised form is an interruptible agreement with no acreage
dedication.  Since Tom Brown removed all the acreage dedication language, it
is my understanding that they were not willing to give us an acreage
dedication.  To the extent we modeled our economics on any Tom Brown
production, I wanted to make sure everyone understands that these volumes are
not committed to the system we are purchasing and can be taken by Tom Brown
to someone else at their discretion.

THIRD CIRCUIT TASK FORCE URGES ONLY LIMITED USE OF AUCTIONS
TO PICK CLASS COUNSEL; JUDGES CRITICAL OF REPORT'S
NEGATIVITY

Judicially controlled auctions for the selection of counsel
in class actions should be used only in "certain limited
circumstances," according to a draft report issued by the
Third Circuit Task Force on Selection of Class Counsel. An
auction might be appropriate for a case in which the
defendant's liability appears clear, damages appear to be
both very large and collectible, and the lead plaintiff is
not a sophisticated litigant that has already retained
counsel of its choice through a reasonable, arm's-length
process, the task force suggests.

Several judges criticize the report as being too hostile
toward the innovative idea of competitive bidding for
selecting class counsel. The judges, participating in a
panel discussion at the 2001 Third Circuit Judicial
Conference, say the report is "too restrictive." For
instance, the task force should encourage more
experimentation with the process of setting fees at the
outset of litigation rather than waiting until the end, one
judge suggests. But others, who agree with the tenor of the
report, say bidding is overrated as a means of keeping
counsel fees reasonable. . . . Page s 2326,  . . . Page 2318

NEW YORK BAR PROPOSES AMENDING ABA MODEL RULES TO ALLOW
CAREFULLY REGULATED MULTIDISCIPLINARY ALLIANCES

The New York State Bar Association files a proposal with the
American Bar Association recommending amendment of the Model
Rules of Professional Conduct to allow limited and carefully
regulated "contractual relationships" and other affiliations
between lawyers and nonlawyers who want to offer their
clients integrated multidisciplinary services.

Foremost among the safeguards being advocated by the New
York bar are measures that would prohibit nonlawyers from
holding any ownership or managerial interest in law firms;
sharing legal fees with lawyers; directing or regulating the
professional judgment of lawyers; or compromising in any
other way a lawyer's duty to safeguard client interests. The
proposal is patterned on recent amendments to the New York
Code of Professional Responsibility allowing such
affiliations. . . . Page 2315

INS ADOPTS INTERIM PROCEDURES FOR ADJUDICATING CASES OF
UNREMOVABLE ALIENS SEEKING RELEASE FROM DETENTION

The Immigration and Naturalization Service issues an interim
rule governing detention of aliens who are subject to final
orders of removal but cannot likely be removed in the
foreseeable future because no country will accept them. The
rule responds to the U.S. Supreme Court's recent "Zadvydas"
decision, which held that, absent special circumstances, the
attorney general lacks authority to detain such aliens
indefinitely.

The rule specifies procedures for aliens who have been
detained beyond the statutory 90-day removal period to
demonstrate that their removal is unlikely in the reasonably
foreseeable future. Aliens seeking relief must make a
threshold showing that they have cooperated with the INS's
efforts to effect their removal. Aliens who prevail on such
claims must be released, subject to conditions of
supervision, unless "special circumstances" would render
release dangerous. . . . Page 2321

Attached is an article on Enron and our "Clean Power Group" coalition on
multipollutant Clean Air Act legislation.   This is much more accurate than
the WSJ article that ran last Friday, particularly on the point of CO2 caps.

Electric Power Daily - May 8, 2001

Companies work to design plan for regulating air pollutants

A coalition of energy companies is devising a framework for
regulating air pollutants in a way that encourages new technologies
and protects the environment without requiring exorbitant
investments, but whether there is momentum for a regulatory
overhaul remains to be seen, according to one consultant to the
group.

Enron, El Paso Corp., Trigen, Calpine and NiSource are working on
a multipollutant strategy to replace the "piecemeal" regulatory
scheme at the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce sulfur
dioxide, nitrogen oxide and mercury emissions from power plants,
said Joel Bluestein, president of Energy and Environmental
Analysis in Arlington, Va. The coalition's approach could include
carbon dioxide emissions if EPA moves to regulate that pollutant,
he said.

The coalition is meeting with lawmakers, the administration and
industry leaders in effort to garner support, said Bluestein.

"We can have secure diverse energy supply and a strong economy
if we structure the regulatory system properly," said Bluestein.
"What we are trying to do is present a framework to ensure a clean
environment with less regulation, to promote new technologies and
all fuels-including conservation and renewables, gas and coal-[and]
to provide the energy we need at reasonable prices."

The industry hoped to capitalize on momentum last year to move
the federal government toward a comprehensive yet flexible
emissions reduction program, but when President Bush reversed
his campaign position supporting restrictions on CO2 in a
multipollutant approach, that "changed the landscape a little bit,"
said Bluestein. Still, he said, the "same drivers are still there."

EPA has an acid rain program to address SO2 and a state
implementation plan program to curb NOx and in December it
announced plans to develop mercury emission restrictions for
power plants. The agency does not regulate CO2.

Higher Flyer

Top techs such as Nokia may not look cheap by traditional valuation
measures. But they may still be good buys.

By Michael Sivy

Value is a relative term. Every once in a while, you get a chance to buy
shares in a company with annual earnings growth of more than 20 percent at
a price/earnings ratio of 16 or less. But that doesn't happen very often.
Most of the time, conservative investors are lucky to find 14 percent
growth at a 16 P/E. Slightly more aggressive investors might be happy with
18 percent growers at P/Es in the low 20s. The most successful growth
stocks, however, may never fall all the way down to those cheap valuations.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't buy them.

In fact, there are good reasons to devote at least a part of your portfolio
to those kinds of high flyers. For one thing, those companies are typically
among the world's most successful. In addition, they receive ongoing
support and sponsorship from Wall Street analysts. As long as they continue
to meet expectations, they will hold up fairly well in temporary market
downturns. And they will be among the first stocks to bounce back.

A perfect case in point looks to be Nokia [NOK]. The Finnish giant is the
most successful firm in one of the world's most rapidly growing industries.
And since 1997, Nokia's share of the global wireless-phone handset market
has risen from less than 20 percent to 35 percent, helping the company
nearly double earnings per share since 1998.

Of course, no company can increase its market share indefinitely, but there
are several factors that should help sustain Nokia's superior profit
growth. Since most everyone who would use a cell phone already has one, the
bulk of the sales of cell phones using existing technology is replacement
business. And when existing users switch phones, they tend to maintain
brand loyalty -- if they change providers at all, they migrate toward the
strongest one (say from Ericsson to Nokia, but not the other way around).
As a result, Nokia could gain another couple of market share points in
current-technology handsets.

Even more important, the company is capable of attaining a market share
topping 40 percent in the next generation of handsets -- both those that
use more sophisticated technology for voice transmission and those that
will provide paging, instant messaging, and Internet access. Overall, the
handset market is projected to grow at an annual compound rate of just
under 23 percent over the next four years. And with market share gains,
Nokia's sales should do even better.

In the past few quarters, the over-capacity problems that have plagued the
telecom industry have been hurting handset makers as well as service
providers. Not only has growth slowed -- total sales of cell phones were up
only 12 percent in the first quarter -- but the introduction of new
technology is being delayed. As a result, Nokia's earnings, up just 15
percent in the first quarter, will likely fall short of a 20 percent gain
for the year as a whole.

Once the current slump passes, however, Nokia's growth should recover to
nearly 25 percent a year. And so, despite a P/E of 40 based on estimated
earnings for the current year, the stock seems quite attractive. At $33,
Nokia is trading at just over half the level it was a year ago. And the
share price, which dipped as low as $21 a month ago, now appears to be in
an upswing. Even if the next couple of quarters show subpar results, Nokia
figures to be back among the market's brightest stars within 12 months.

The ISO has sent us the attached letter saying that we are required to file
with it (and the Electricity Oversight Board (EOB)) our reports of prices
over the soft cap.  It cites to it's Amendment 33 filing as authority.  The
ISO's proposed tariff did not include any such requirement, rather it asked
the Commission to so order.  Although the FERC approved Amendment 33, the
FERC's order on the filing makes no mention of such requirement.  I would
like Dan or Ron to advise whether this allows us to avoid filing this
information with the ISO and EOB.

I will also be asking members of EPSA what they plan to do during the
conference call tomorrow.

The ISO appears to have taken it upon itself to get above $250/MWh costs for
the month of December pursuant to the Dec 8, 2000 emergency order.

Mary, Steve and I need to confirm that these data are in fact required to be
reported by that Order.  (Mary, can you point me to our copy of that
emergency order?)

Chris,  can you run a report for December 8-31 to see what accepted bids may
be reportable?  During the breakpoint was $250, not $150.

Subject: Preliminary Oklahoma Agenda

In discussion with Dave, we thought it would be good to put this together in
a format of questions and answers.
However, as you will see, the questions I thought of got kinda long- but I
think we need answers for all of them.
One thought is to have just the agenda as a couple topics and then lead in
with the first two questions as I've listed.
Please provide me your thoughts asap.   MK


Confirmed with Charles Alvarez some questions that came up at yesterday's meeting:

Regarding the elimination of PowerStation, this is only for the West Desk, not East Desk.

The "Cadillac of Servers" is being employed for RPS, in order to boost performance. (It even comes with a longhorn hood ornament!)

The "80 Gigs of space" has been reserved for Steve Gullion's use. Charles says that once we're ready to proceed with the Load Database, it will not be an issue to get server space and an Oracle database setup for us. (i.e., we will not--more than likely--need to purchase additional hardware.)

Have a great weekend,

--John


Good morning, Kristin.  Your Dad would like to meet you today at Maggiano's
(located at 2019 S. Post Oak Blvd., 713.961.2700).  I'll make a reservation
for 12:00 noon - he'll be there then, and I know you'll probably be a few
minutes later than that.  Let me know if you want another plan.  SRS


Louise,
I thought you would want to see this since you were there during all of those

Subject: CATS litigation

Disappointingly, the House of Lords ruled 5 - 0 against Enron in the CATS
litigation today.  This will mean that we will repay to the CATS parties
approximately $150 million plus interest and court costs, putting the final
figure at an estimated $155-160 million.  We expect to be invoiced for the
principal amount in the next week or so; sorting costs and interest may take
as long as 60 days.  The written opinion reflects a determination on the part
of the Lords to rule against us regardless of what the contract says.  The
opinion seeks to conclude "what rational businessmen could have intended"
rather than applying the provisions of the contract.

For example, Lord Hoffman (author of the primary opinion) makes it clear that
the  "retrospective consequences" of discovering a latent defect after
payments have been made (and would therefore need to be refunded) are
unacceptable.  His view seems to be that because we were not ready to flow
J-Block gas during the period of the T-6 leak, we are not damaged and
therefore not entitled to relief under the contract.  Furthermore, he says
that the Commencement Date notice sent by the CATS parties was in the nature
of a declaration and as long as it is sent in good faith it is effective.

As far as the price reduction formula in Clause 7.5, Lord Hoffman opines that
the clause is not operative until TGTL had tied in the J-Block field.  The
contract makes no reference to this requirement.  Hoffman's view is that it
is only upon tie-in that the CATS parties' obligation to provide the
Transportation Service is triggered and therefore there can be no price
reduction for not providing the service unless tie-in is complete. This
statement is in stark contrast with Hoffman's earlier statement in the
opinion that upon the giving of the Commencement Date notice the CATS parties
have an absolute obligation to provide the Transportation Service.

Equally disappointing and surprising is the fact that the Lords rejected our
submission for reimbursement of our costs incurred in connection with the
restitution issue.  As you may recall, restitution was the primary issue upon
which the CATS parties obtained leave to appeal, and they conceded the point
at the commencement of the hearing.  Reimbursement of these costs should have
been a given.

Although I have not yet been able to speak to our most senior barrister, our
other counsel have assessed the opinion as "appalling" and "pathetic," and
describe the situation as one where Enron has been "stitched up".
Unfortunately, given that this is the court of last resort in this country
(except of course the Court of Human Rights), there is not an avenue for
recourse.

In conclusion may I say that although we did not get the result we wanted or
expected from the House of Lords, I very much appreciate all the support from
each of you for these past six years.  The case has been a roller coaster
ride;  I hope our earlier victory in the Court of Appeal will evidence in
fact that some tribunals in this country recognize that we did get it right.

Please call me if you wish to discuss the case in any further detail, or if
you wish to have a copy of the opinion.  My telephone number is 011 44 207
783 6582.  Many thanks.
