Subject:	Security Smart ID Tags-Off Property Usage

To remain consistent with Enron's directive to improve security access to the building, all Enron Body Shop members are required to check-in at the Body Shop Front Desk and present an Enron Photo ID badge or another form of Photo ID to the Security Officer each time you visit.  To assist our members who participate in outdoor activities during their visit, Security SMART ID tags are available at the Body Shop Front Desk for your convenience.  Simply slide the SMART ID tag through the shoe laces between an eyelet and snap the tag closed.

The SMART ID tags serve both as a safety identification tag while members are exercising off property as well as provide the security identification verification required when entering the Body Shop.  Each day you plan to exercise outside, present your Enron Photo ID Badge or another form of Photo ID to the Front Desk Receptionist to receive your temporary Security SMART ID.  Your Photo ID will be returned to you when you return the SMART ID tag to the Front Desk at the end of your visit.


Thursday Am is fine.  I will try to be home by 7 on Thursday.

As was previously advised in an earlier memo, and as I am confirming by this
memo, except only in special circumstances, and with the approval of John
Lavorato or Mark Haedicke, the tape retention policy for verbal confirmation
of transactions is one month.  After one month, all tapes are destroyed.
Accordingly, for transactions verbally executed over the phone, you must bear
in mind the following:

1. Although all transactions are to be confirmed as soon as possible, if you
are aware of a transaction that has not been confirmed within one month from
deal execution, you must ensure that the portion of the tape applicable to
your transaction is removed and transcribed prior to tape destruction, by
making a specific request of me, for which I will then obtain the approval of
Mark Haedicke or John Lavorato.

2. If for any other reason you believe it is necessary to retain the taped
record of a transaction beyond the one month period, for example, because of
an actual or anticipated dispute with a counterparty, again you should make a
specific request of me to have that portion of the tape pulled and
transcribed, and I will seek the approval of Mark Haedicke or John Lavorato.

If you have any questions or concerns, please speak to me.

I want to emphasize that although the tapes serve to record the verbal
agreement of the parties, it is also imperative that we maintain a
disciplined records retention policy.  It is therefore imperative that, to
the greatest extent possible, written confirmations are completed and
obtained as soon as possible as the best assurance against future disputes.
Obviously, the inability to establish the terms of a transaction, can result
in having to make amendments to that transactions by way of settlement with
the counterparty or, in the worse case, loss of the transaction, both of
which will result in unacceptable earnings consequences.

Subject: RE: fyi-another strike

Rika,
According to our sources, the union and FirstEnergy management are still negotiating and they won't strike until negotiations break down. The union has committed to giving management a 36 hour notice before a strike begins. Since that is true, it is very likely the unit will complete the refueling outage prior to a strike (if one occurs at all). The unit is now in hot shutdown and we expect restart by late Sunday or some time on Monday.
If a strike occurs, non-essential personnel will be sent home while essential personnel will prepare to remain "locked in" at the site until the strike concludes. This is for the safety of the essential personnel, so they don't have to cross picket lines.

why aren't you going?


It seems to me that in our omnibus forms, there is no rounding rule
applicable to the return of collateral.  However, credit worksheets often ask
for the rounding rule to apply to both delivery and return (similar to
master).  Could you look at the forms at your convenience and let me know if
I am missing something?  If not, I will ask Mark if he thinks we should
revise.  Thanks.  Mary

It's 5 days before our Napa-Sonoma-Wine Trip.  I know all of you are anxiously waiting for this Saturday, but just forgot to actually sign up for the trip.  Seriously, the sign up has been slow due to midterms or other reasons.  We really need to know how many people can commit for the Napa-Sonoma trip, so please sign up by 3:00pm Wed, 10/24.

The wine trip will start off at Viansa with a Connoisseur Tasting and followed by a gourmet lunch in a reserved area of the Viansa hill top picnic grounds.  The Connoisseur Tasting includes food pairing and reserve wine tasting.  We will then move on to Gloria Ferrer for award-winning sparkling wines.  I have heard from several classmates raving about this winery.  It's a must see for those who have never been there!!  Finally, we will move on to St. Supery, situated in a historic landmark 1880 Victorian Atkinson House (now a living museum).  We will find exclusive St. Supery wines that can not be found anywhere else.  The trip is pre-negotiated at a group rate, one would have to pay much more to have the same type of experience.

Additionally, feel free to bring your spouse and significant others to enjoy one of your rare day-off from school and work.

Hope to see you all there!!
Tony

Rod -

I thought you might like to see the kind of informational reports we get from our operating companies each month.  Attached please find the reports we get from Wessex.  Wessex prepares the report in both local currency and USD, since we have had impacts for the weakening of the GBP.

These are not the reports that Kenny uses to consolidate results as those are less detailed and also include some management reporting adjustments.  We have been getting these every month since March 2000.  If you would like them going back, please let me know.  Currently these reports are due the 15th of each month.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Thanks!
