I spent a little over 30 minutes with Robert.  He is a very sharp guy and has
a great deal of relevant government experience.  While I don't have a
position that would be suitable for his experience level (all of my senior
positions are filled), he is definitely someone I would consider if I had an
open position.

My impression from Robert is that, while he has some interest in Public
Affairs, his main interest is in a commercial position.  I stressed to him
that it would be difficult to come into Enron to run a business, but he could
build to it over time.  His main concern was that he not get "lost in the
system" if he came in at a level below business unit head.

I think Robert would be a good addition to Enron if 1) he is willing to come
in to a commercial role at a more junior level to learn the system and 2) we
can make sure that he gets the opportunity to have contact with senior levels
of the organization from time to time.

I have spoken to Reliant,TXU, AEP, Coral, El Paso, and Aquila about buying the supply we have in storage. They have either told me they don't have any interest in buying it or they just don't respond. Centana is willing to buy the inventory if we will pay for the gas we received in December off of MRT. I have gotten Shemin Proctor's opinion on the situation (see attached). I would like to move forward and settle these issues with Duke/Centana. I have also included estimated cash flows on the transactions. Thoughts?

Administration Helps Electricity Consumers by Proposing Reliability Standards
and Working to Lower Costs

Clinton/Gore Administration Takes Action to Help Californians

Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson today announced a series of initiatives
that the Clinton/Gore Administration is taking to help California reduce the
strain on their electricity system and protect consumers. Most significantly,
Richardson said the Administration will likely send a proposed rule-making to
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to establish mandatory
reliability standards for electricity * doing administratively what Congress
failed to accomplish this year.

"California's electricity market has become dysfunctional -- and it's time to
make it right," said Secretary Richardson. "More than once, California was
close to having blackouts rolling throughout the state. In San Diego,
residents and businesses saw their electric bills double almost overnight.
Consumers need an electricity system that is reliable and they should not be
facing this kind of price volatility."

Richardson made the announcement in Sacramento this morning with California
Gov. Gray Davis.

Richardson said the Energy Department will take several initiatives to help
the reliability of California's electricity system and protect consumers from
dramatic price volatility, including:

Establish mandatory reliability standards for electricity * The Energy
Department will seek public comment on a proposed rulemaking that would
require utilities to follow mandatory rules to protect the reliability of the
electric grid in California and elsewhere. The Administration and others have
been pressing Congress to enact these much-needed rules to protect consumers.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to break the impasse in Congress and
authorize establishing the standards necessary to make electricity supplies
more reliable and energy markets more efficient;

Improve California's ability to import power * The Western Area Power
Administration, an Energy Department agency that co-owns a major substation
in Northern California, will provide $2 million to add a second transformer
there. This will help California bring in much-needed power from the Pacific
Northwest;

Provide millions to improve energy efficiency * The department is releasing a
half million dollars in grants to the California Energy Commission to support
programs that will make California buildings, which account for approximately
8 percent of all the energy used in buildings in the U.S., more energy
efficient. In addition to the $3.7 million the Energy Department has provided
the state this year to help weatherize 3,081 lower-income California
households, the department will provide $4.2 million next year to weatherize
homes and help lower the electricity bills of those that can least afford
high prices;

Work to add renewable sources * The department is working with the state and
local governments to help develop the tremendous renewable resources in
California, such as wind, solar, geothermal and biomass. To this end,
Richardson said the department's budget for next year contains $3 million for
wind projects and $5.6 million for geothermal projects in California;

Reduce electricity consumption at key times * Participate, along with
representatives from other federal agencies with facilities in California, in
meetings in Sacramento today to develop a process for reducing electricity
consumption during heat waves; and

Get federal power to California * Continue the work of the department's
Bonneville Power Administration and Western Area Power Administration with
California to get federal power to the state when it is needed the most.
Richardson announced that Bonneville's contract to provide low-cost power to
Bay Area Rapid Transit will continue;

Further cooperation with California * The Energy Department will also form a
partnership with the state of California to ensure that the department's
programs and resources are put to use to help the state with its electric
problems.

Separately today FERC released a report that examines the causes of
California's electricity problems. FERC also issued a proposed order that
will help reduce wholesale electricity prices in California. Richardson urged
the Commission to move quickly to help protect California's citizens and
businesses.

I am working with CIBC on another credit mitigation deal.  They are
interested but they have said nothing yet on pricing levels.  I am sending
them something on Monday that will propose a Enron payment on Friday December
17th of approximately $16 MM CAD.   Again, this payment would come from the
U.S. office so if there are any administrative things that need to get done I
suggest we get on it quickly.  I assume Juanita needs to deal with funding
and Louie needs to secure a letter from CIBC re credit mitigation.  I'm in
Houston part of the week but you can track me done through my secretary.

Vince,

FEA has arrived at a very simple, direct, and inexpensive approach to
licensing our two VaR-related patents as a package.  I hope that you will
agree that our proposed license fee of $2,500 plus $1 per employee, with
licenses to go to all of your affiliates, would be an attractive offer.  I
would love to sign up Enron for this package as an early customer.  Do you
think you could forward the attached pdf license agreement to the
appropriate people at Enron, together with your recommendation? I am highly
motivated to get Enron as a licensee, and I strongly believe that it will be
a worthwhile effort for both parties.

Best regards,

your interviews.  I told him about our working together in Argentina
and your activities down there and gave him an overview of your skill set.  I
have left a message with Mike Moore but he is out of town
and he has not returned my call yet.
I hope all is well with you.  I will call or email when I talk with the
others.

Sincerely,

Scott

Jeff,

We have been working to try and get the crude products available in yen, but have not had much luck after Darren left.  You can see the general summary of the situation below.  We'd like to get the product up and believe that with some basic publicity it could be quite successful.  Any ideas on how to overcome these points?

Joe

Joe

After spending some time with Houston and London people over the past 2 weeks, the conclusion is that George cannot be up and running within the next 2-3 months. Obtaining live FX quotes is the major issue. Options that we considered were:

(a) Connect up to a bank's FX online system

Shane Dallman (UK) identified potential issues with this, the main one being technical issues associated with the EOL application. After consulting with EOL people, it appears the FX manager application is not suitable for linking to an external party at the moment. They are working on these issues as part of a larger development project but I cannot get a clear timetable out of them

(b) Get Thomas Cheng to run the FX manager

Issues include:
* Thomas doesn't feel comfortable having to watch the FX market on a real time basis and update prices accordingly, given most of his time is spent on metals
* In that case, FX group would like automatic updates of the FX price from the market so he would not have to watch it all the time (we then get back to IT issues which Shane is checking out)

(c) Get a FX trader in Japan

The FX group is currently considering their staffing requirements but Pushkar Shahi (Director, FX Houston) said that there are no immediate plans to get someone out here.

I will keep monitoring the FX situation. Perhaps if you have time next week, you could speak to Gary Hickerson to get his thoughts.

Regards
Rousseau
