Sally,

Following our Doorstep meeting today, I am following up on your request that
I forward to you the list of Portland transactions for which we still require
documentation, e.g. invoices, SAP entries, etc.  For the Settlements testing
only, we reduced the deal population from 23 to ten randomly-selected
transactions, in order to facilitate the Settlement group's ability to
complete both its monthly close obligations and our Doorstep request.  The
deal selection is indicated in yellow, and the missing items, in green.

Also per your request, attached are the five "non-standard" deals for which
we have been unable to obtain any information at all.  Our primary need is
just to get a basic understanding of these transactions.

Colorado Springs Utilities  10/1/98-9/30/03 Colorado 50-150 MWs
BPA     10/1/01-12/31/05 NW Delivered 105 MWs
Welded Tube    1/1/98-6/30/05 PGE - NW 5.2-12MWs
British Columbia Power Exchange 1/1/98-1/1/15 COB 85-176 MWs
Harbor Cogen

Thank you for your help, Sally,
Ken

John Shelk explained that NERC has significantly reduced the length of its proposed "Title on Reliability" so as to look more like the PJM approach.  Fundamentally, there are still major differences.  NERC continues to push for the embodiment of deference by FERC to the "SRO" in the legislation.

Given the conference call last week with John Q Anderson, Dave Cook and Jeff Skilling, we were concerned how the upcoming meeting on Aug 9 by NERC stakeholders to "finalize" the NERC version would impact Jeff's request to speak with the Independent Board members before accepting any form of deference to NERC to become the SRO (or the term we prefer Standards Setting Organization - SSO).

The meeting on the 9th should not interfere with Jeff's ability to present issues to the Board.  We don't think Jeff needs to contact John Q Anderson or any NERC members about the Aug 9 meeting.  However, for the discussions with NERC, John Shelk plans to "stay the line" on the Enron position of keeping authority to defer to any SSO with FERC and to keep any language that defers to the SSO out of the legislation.

Jeff should still be able to argue for key Board action items, and if Enron is appeased, deference to NERC could still be given - but not through legislation, rather through FERC "comfort" that the SSO is doing a good job.  By knowing that FERC can "pull the plug" on the SSO if it is not satisfied, this will provide the correct incentive for the SSO to ensure that no industry segment dominates the standards setting process.

I am completing a draft of issues that we want the Independents to resolve/address for Jeff Skilling to take to the Board.
Additionally, Andy Rodriquez and I will develop a summary of examples of why NERC, in its current form, is not able to develop consensus rules that all its members are willing to comply with.  These examples should be powerful arguments for John Shelk to leverage in arguments for FERC authority in the legislation.

We also discussed the need to shop our reliability legislation principles with Pat Wood and perhaps DOE.

Subject: Beau Canada

Dave, I had a call from Bradford today and he has Buy's sign-off on
recognizing U.S. $1.1MM credit exposure reduction as a result of our efforts
on securing a 3rd charge on Beau's assets (additionally, the 3rd charge
follows the assets with the Murphy credit upgrade). It is important to
continue to send originators the right signals re credit mitigation and
therefore I feel it is imperative that we grant the $1.1MM as origination to
reward those efforts.

Please advise that you are in agreement, and we will book asap.

USA: Cinergy sees 45 pct of 2001 EPS target in H1.

04/09/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.

CINCINNATI, April 9 (Reuters) - Cinergy Corp. , a major Midwestern power
company, said on Monday it expected 45 percent of its 2001 earnings target of
$2.75 to come through in the first half of the year, helped by power plant
acquisitions in the past 18 months.
Cincinnati-based Cinergy, which also has utility operations distributing
natural gas and electricity to more than 1.4 million customers in the
Cincinnati area and central Indiana, said the remaining 55 percent was
forecast for the last half of 2001.
Analysts currently expect 47 percent in the first half and 53 percent in
second half, according to research company Thomson Financial/First Call.
Cinergy shares closed up 70 cents, or 2.06 percent, at $34.75 on the Nasdaq
market.
The highlights of the group's recent acquisitions include two merchant
generating facilities in the Southeast from Enron North America . The plants
are the 494-megawatt Brownsville generation facility in Haywood County,
Tennessee, and the 504-MW Caledonia generation facility in Lowndes County,
Mississippi. Both are natural gas-fired units.

USA: IntercontinentalExchange volumes rise 33 percent in March.

04/09/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.

NEW YORK, April 9 (Reuters) - Monthly trade on Internet-based
IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) rose 33 percent in March, bringing its total
volume to $70 billion since its inception last year, the exchange said
Monday.
Over 42,000 trades have been made on ICE since the start of trading last
August, ICE said.
That brings daily average trading volumes up to about $350 million, a tenth
of those of EnronOnline, where Enron is on one side of every transaction.
ICE hosts 'over the counter' (OTC) trading - trading done outside regular
exchanges - of derivatives in crude and refined oil products, natural gas,
power and metals.
During March, a total of 168 million barrels of crude oil and refined
products were traded on ICE, along with 55 million megawatt hours of
electricity, 820 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 8 million
gold-equivalent ounces.
Last month, ICE set new records of 19 million barrels of oil, 97 billion
cubic feet of natural gas and 4.6 million megawatt hours of power for daily
trading on its system.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, trading regularly exceeds 400 million
barrels of crude in a day.
ICE enjoys a market share of 20 percent in OTC electronic trading of North
American power, according to the exchange. IT has a 14 percent share in North
American natural gas and derivatives, 8 percent share in global precious
metals and 7 percent in global oil and refined products derivatives.
The ICE system is installed on 3,750 desktops worldwide to trade more than
600 listed contracts.
Oil majors BP Amoco , Royal Dutch/Shell and TotalFinaElf joined international
banks to establish ICE last year, with several U.S. power companies joining
the consortium later in 2000.
ICE is seen as the firm favorite to strike a deal with London's International
Petroleum Exchange (IPE), Europe's largest energy futures market, that could
provide IPE a shortcut to expand electronic trading and get onto the
Internet.
The two organizations have been for some months discussing a share swap that
could result in a merger, industry sources say.

India State Govt Panel To Review Dabhol Power Agreement

04/09/2001
Dow Jones International News
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)

NEW DELHI -(Dow Jones)- India's Maharashtra state government said Monday that
it has set up a panel of experts to review the 1995 power purchase agreement
signed between Dabhol Power Co., a subsidiary of the U.S. energy major Enron
Corp. (ENE) and Maharashtra State Electricity Board, Press Trust of India
reported Monday.
"The Godbole Committee, appointed by the government to review the
controversial power project, has been authorized to hold negotiations with
DPC on behalf of the state government and MSEB, which is finding it extremely
difficult to pay the exorbitant electricity bills," PTI quoted Maharahtra's
junior Power Minister Rajendra Darda as saying.
DPC has a controlling 65% stake in the controversial 2,184-megawatt electric
power project in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, which supplies
power to the state-run electricity board.
Under a 1996 counter guarantee agreement, the federal government is obliged
to pay Enron when MSEB defaults. Critics object to Dabhol charging 7.1 rupees
a kilowatt-hour ($1=46.4602) for its power compared with INR1.5/KWh charged
by other suppliers.
As reported, Dabhol Power Co. sent the MSEB a notice of political force
majeure to enforce its rights under the power purchase agreement between the
two parties.
"I can confirm that Dabhol Power Co. has sent the MSEB a notice of political
force majeure," said Jimmy Mogul, Enron India spokesman, in a faxed company
statement.

Utility Bonds Slip on PG&E Unit Bankruptcy: Corporate Bonds
2001-04-09 18:00 (New York)

Utility Bonds Slip on PG&E Unit Bankruptcy: Corporate Bonds

     New York, April 9 (Bloomberg) -- Bonds of utility and power-
generating companies slipped in value after PG&E Corp.'s Pacific
Gas & Electric unit filed for bankruptcy protection on Friday.
     Debt of San Jose, California-based Calpine, which has at
least 15 power plants operating or under construction in the
Golden State, was among the hardest hit, traders said. NRG Energy
Inc., Dynegy Inc., Duke Energy Corp., and other power producers
with less exposure to California also saw drops as bond investors
grew concerned that write-offs would threaten credit ratings.
     ``There are a number of suppliers who are owed money and are
hoping to be paid,'' said Mark Luftig, fund manager of the Strong
American Utilities Fund in Jersey City, New Jersey.
     Concern bills will remain unpaid, along with worries
utilities in other states may suffer from deregulation, has caused
utility debt to lag corporate bonds. Gas- and electric-utility
bonds rose 3.3 percent this year including price gains and
interest, according to a Merrill Lynch & Co. index, less than the
4.7 percent gain on U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds.
     Yields on Calpine's 8.5 percent notes due in 2011 have risen
about 0.4 percentage point since Friday to 3.6 percentage points
above U.S. Treasuries, traders said, though Moody's Investors
Service today confirmed the company's ``Ba1'' senior debt ratings.
Bond prices move inverse to yield.
     NRG and Dynegy bond yields rose about 0.2 percentage point
relative to Treasuries. Even yields of Public Service Enterprise
Group and other East Coast utilities that do little or no business
in California crept up about one-tenth of a percentage point on
the bankruptcy news, traders said.

                           Unwarranted?

     Eric Cheung, who holds bonds of Duke Energy Corp. and Enron
Corp. in the $8 billion he helps manage at Wilmington Trust Corp.
in Wilmington, Delaware, suggested some selling was unwarranted.
     ``We're not negative at all'' on the utility industry, he
said. ``You have to take a look at each state on a case-by-case
basis.''
     Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison,
California's two largest utilities, said they've accumulated more
than $14 billion in debt since last year because a failed
deregulation plan has forced them to buy power at rates far higher
than regulators allow them to charge customers.
     By contrast, Public Service Enterprise Group, owner of New
Jersey's largest utility, reported earnings of $764 million last
year, up 5.7 percent from 1999 levels. New Jersey has deregulated
its power market, but the utilities haven't been forced to sell
off their generating assets like they have in California.

                             51 Cents

     Pacific Gas & Electric's 7 3/8 bonds due in 2005 were bid
today at 51 cents on the dollar, or $510 per $1,000 face value,
traders said. That's down from about 90 cents as recently as
November. The company -- whose bonds were cut to junk status in
January -- has defaulted on $870 million of commercial paper this
year, the largest such default ever.
     The bankruptcy filing didn't result in any credit-rating cuts
of other utilities and power generators, said Ellen Lapson,
managing director at Fitch Inc. in New York.
     Still, risks for energy companies working in California will
be high until the situation is resolved, which may not happen
until new power plants are built years from now, analysts said.
     ``We are monitoring all energy credits in the western U.S.
for the impact they're experiencing from higher gas and power
prices,'' Lapson said.

ALL EDITIONS
B02
(Copyright Newsday Inc., 2001)

SEVERAL MONTHS ago, out of the blue, a company named "Cingular" started
sending me bills. I had never heard of Cingular, and I honestly did not know
what these bills were for, so I put them in the pile where I keep documents
that I intend to scrutinize more carefully later on, after my death.
Then I started seeing TV commercials for Cingular, but of course they did not
make it clear what Cingular is, because the First Rule of Modern Advertising
is: "Never reveal what you are advertising." In the Cingular commercials -
maybe you've seen them - these little characters that look like mutant
starfish from space walk around and make gestures. It is not at all clear why
they are doing this. It crossed my mind that maybe they are mutant starfish
from space, and Cingular is the name of their home planet, and they've sent
bills to all of humanity, and they are gesturing to indicate that if we don't
pay them, they'll vaporize the Earth.
Eventually, I found out that Cingular is the new name of my cellular
telephone company. It used to be named BellSouth Mobility.
Before that, I think it was just BellSouth, and before that, it was Southern
Bell, and before that, I'm sure it was several other things.
If you went far enough back, you'd probably find out that at one time the
name actually included the words "telephone company," so you could tell, from
the name, what it did, which today would be a serious violation of business
ethics.
So I paid my Cingular bills, because I need my cellular phone to communicate
vital information ("Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? I can't hear you.
Hello?"). I apparently have a special cellular plan wherein all my calls are
routed through a Burger King drive- thru intercom in Bolivia. I envy the
people whose cell phones always seem to work - the people you see in airports
with their phones attached to earphone/microphone devices so they can stride
around, gesturing and talking really loud into the air, looking kind of like
Hamlet delivering his soliloquy ("To be, or not to be, that is
the...Hello?").
But my question is: Why do companies keep changing their names? And why do
they always change them to names that don't mean anything? We consumers like
names that reflect what the company does. We know, for example, that
International Business Machines makes business machines; and Ford Motor makes
Fords; and Sara Lee makes us fat. But we don't know, from the name "Verizon,"
what Verizon does. As far as I can tell, Verizon consists of some big
telephone companies that joined together. So why couldn't they call
themselves "An Even Bigger Telephone Company"? And what in the world is
"Accenture"? This is a company that buys a lot of ads, the overall message of
which seems to be: "Accenture - A Company That Buys a Lot of Ads." I checked
the Accenture Internet site, and here's what it says about the name:
"Accenture is a coined word that connotes putting an accent or emphasis on
the future." Swell! I am all for the future! But what does Accenture do? What
if it sends me a bill? Should I pay it? What if I don't and it turns out that
"Accenture" is the new name for the organization formerly known as "La Cosa
Nostra"? My body parts would be found in nine separate Hefty bags. The police
would shake their heads and say, "Looks like he didn't pay his Accenture
bill."
This brings me to my idea for how you can make big money. You start by
inventing a new, modern-sounding company name, such as "Paradil" or
"Gerbadigm," which are coined words that connote a combination of "paradigm"
and "gerbil." Then you print official- looking invoice forms for this
company, and you send out a mass- mailing of bills for, let's say, $20.38
apiece, to several million randomly selected people.
You enclose an announcement with a perky corporate marketing statement that
is clearly a lie, and thus appears totally realistic, such as: "We've changed
our name to serve you better!" Granted, some consumers would throw the bill
away. But a lot of them would pay it, because they're used to companies'
suddenly mutating on them. You'd get rich! The only flaw in this plan is that
the postal authorities might question its legality. If they give you any
trouble, refer them to me, OK? My name is now Enron P. Citigroup.

initiatives.  Representatives of their firm are considering a trip to Houston
in the Spring and asked me if they could visit with you and others within
Enron in Houston.  I told them that we would be pleased, once the timing is
right.  Once they have a date I will let you know to see if we can set
something up. Peter.


I will attend.  Thanks,  Teb

Subject:	ETS' TW Teams Appreciation Luncheon - Last Round

Because a large number of our invitees had conflicting schedules, we are moving the date of our Appreciation Luncheon for the LAST TIME!!!

This will be our last attempt to accommodate everyone.  Trust me, the food and games at Jillians will be well worth your patience.

Steve's main objective was to include as many of  ETS' TW Teams as possible.  We feel that Friday,  the 5th of October would better suit the majority of our teams.

We thank you for your patience and please respond by September 26.

200 Thursday looks great.

R,


Vince,

Our presentation at the SMS panel went very well. The audience asked quite a few questions.
Mac from U Penn invited me for lunch and dinner tomorrow to talk about more in details about real option valuation.

Enron was mentioned a few times in
Gary Hamel's speech in very positive way.

I heared Enron is under Sec investigation. I can imagine your
Monday meeting was not easy.

The Datek Difference
Are we in it for the money? Not when it comes to "payment for order
flow"--an industry practice that can create conflicts of interest
between brokerage firms and their clients. Learn how Datek's dynamic
Auto Routing bucks this system--and also lets us rebate millions to
our customers.

Where we stand on "Payment for Order Flow":
http://datek1.m0.net/m/s.asp?HB4339890902X1092240X76755X

The Learning Curve
There sure is a lot of talk about over and under in the stock market.
For example, technical analysts (chartists) look for stocks that are
either over bought or over sold. And value investors seek stocks that
are undervalued, in the hopes that they'll soon become fairly valued
(or even over valued!). But one of the lessons we soon learn is that
these terms are always relative, and that historical comparisons can
be misleading. To help make sense of valuations these days, take a
useful look at "It's All Relative" from Smart Money University.*

Attached is a WORD document addressing the requested items. Please note that this pertains to all Enron companies as we do not purchase insurance on a separate basis for the subsidiary companies. All insurance is purchased in the name of Enron.

Please review and call me at x37904 should you have any questions.
