Recruiting Roundup

The big Longhorn recruiting weekend this year will be Dec. 15-17 and will be
built around the annual football banquet.
Nearly all of the 19 recruits who have already committed to Texas have chosen
that weekend to visit, and so have most of the players the Longhorns are
still recruiting.
The list of players the Longhorns are still seriously recruiting is
continuing to shrink.
At this point, there are 10 recruits left on the board who (a) have offers or
will get offers if they check out okay academically, and (b) are strongly
considering the Longhorns.
They are DT Tommie Harris of Killeen Ellison, LB Derrick Johnson of Waco, DL
Kaelen Jakes of Valencia, Cal.; TE James Moses and DE Jonathan Jackson, both
of Galena Park North Shore; OL Jamie Hightower of Jacksonville, OL William
Winston of Houston Madison, safety Dewayne Brandon of Temple, athlete Quan
Cosby of Mart and DT Paul Broussard of Blinn JC.
Most of the remaining six or seven scholarships will go to the players in
that group.
Johnson, Jakes, Moses, Jackson and Brandon all list Texas No. 1 at this
point, and it is possible the Longhorns will get all five of them.
Winston also says Texas is tops with him right now, but he also wants to look
at several out-of-state schools.
Harris is the remaining recruit who is No. 1 on my wish list, for two
excellent reasons. First, he is the top DT prospect in the country. Second,
he is the only top DT who is considering the Longhorns.
But Oklahoma is making a big run at him, and he is listening. He also is
being heavily recruited by Florida State and he plans to visit the Seminoles
this weekend.
Harris earlier listed Texas No. 1, but now says the Sooners and Seminoles are
his top two teams.
He plans to visit Texas the Dec. 15 weekend, and has another trip set up to
Texas A&M the Dec. 8 weekend.
There actually is another top DT who is interested in Texas ) Broussard ) but
he has many academic hurdles to clear.
Jakes has already visited Texas, and the other nine players in that 10-man
grouping all say they plan to visit Texas the Dec. 15 weekend unless their
teams are still in the high school playoffs.
Their teams will have to be really good to be still in the playoffs at that
point because that will be the weekend of the state semifinals in some
classes and the finals in other classes.
There are some other great prospects who are  long shots, but are still in
the picture. They are headed by DT Marquise Hill, 6-6, 300, 5.0, of New
Orleans De La Salle, and DE Justin Tomerlin, 6-7, 260, of San Clemente, Cal.
Tomerlin has been committed to Florida State for several weeks, but now says
he wants to visit several other schools, including Texas. He says he still is
committed to FSU. I'm not sure he will visit, but, if he does, there is a
chance.
Hill says he will take an official visit to  Texas the Thanksgiving weekend
and will attend the Texas-A&M game.
Hill has already visited LSU and plans to visit Michigan the Dec. 1 weekend,
Georgia the Dec. 8 weekend and Georgia Tech the Dec. 15 weekend.
He said his big three are Michigan, LSU and Texas.

Here's a list of the Horns' 19 early commitments:

The Bowl Picture

If the Longhorns defeat Texas A&M on the Friday after Thanksgiving, they will
wind up in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, the Holiday Bowl in San Diego or the
Alamo Bowl in San Antonio.
Those three bowls get the top three picks from the Big 12, in that order,
after the BCS takes the league champion.
Conventional wisdom holds that Texas and the Cotton Bowl won't hook up again
because the Longhorns have already played there on two consecutive New Year's
Days.
But don't be too sure. The Cotton Bowl brass likes the Longhorns and Texas
coach Mack Brown loves New Year's Day bowls.
If that doesn't come to pass, then it will be either the Holiday or Alamo
bowl for the Longhorns.
What if Texas loses to Texas A&M? I hate to consider the unthinkable, and I
won't until and unless that happens.
But if it does, we'll all need to do some research on the Insight.com Bowl,
the Independence Bowl and maybe the Gallery.furniture.com Bowl.

UT Women Impressive

Sophomore guard Tai Dillard scored a career-high 17 points and led three
Longhorns in double-figure scoring as Texas captured a 71-47 victory over
Tulane Sunday at the Erwin center in the second round of the 2000 Preseason
Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT).
With the win, Texas (2-0) advances to the Preseason WNIT semifinal and
championship rounds next Sunday and Monday, at a site to be determined.
Texas joins No. 9 Louisiana Tech and No. 15 Virginia in the four-team
semifinals. No. 4 Purdue hosts Georgetown today (Monday) in the final game to
determine the fourth semifinalist.
The Preseason WNIT semifinal pairings will be: Texas versus the
Purdue-Georgetown winner, and Louisiana Tech versus Virginia.
The Preason WNIT committee has announced that if Purdue defeats Georgetown,
then the Boilermakers will serve as the host school for the Preseason WNIT
semifinals Sunday and third-place and championship games Monday in West
Lafayette, Indiana.
If Georgetown upsets Purdue, then the Preseason WNIT semifinals and
championship round will be hosted by Texas at the Erwin Center. The site and
times will be announced late Monday.
Joining Dillard in double-figure scoring were junior forward Tracy Cook, who
tallied 12 points and senior guard JoRuth Woods, who chipped in with 11
points.
Woods added a team-high seven rebounds and had five assists, which tied her
best career night total.
Texas shot 43.5 percent from the floor (27-of-62), while the Green Wave (1-1)
hit 41.3 percent of their shots (19-for-46).
Texas shot 50% from the field in the first half en route to a 36-22 lead in
the win over Tulane.
Tulane turned the ball over 26 times, while UT committed 15 turnovers.
The Horns also held an advantage in steals (14 to nine), while Tulane
out-rebounded Texas, 38-37. UT also scored 27 points off turnovers to
Tulane's 10.
Texas had advanced to the WNIT second round with Friday's 72-47 win over
Wichita State, while Tulane bested Grambling State, 92-64, in the first
round.
Woods had 16 points and Cook  added 14 points in the victory over Wichita
State in the season opener for both squads.
The Longhorns, who never trailed in the game, were aided by an outstanding
22-for-26 effort from the free throw line, as they hit 84.6 percent of their
foul shots.
The Longhorns also shot 53.3 percent from the floor and outscored the
Shockers 34-14 in the paint.
Wichita State was held to a 29.2 percent shooting performance, as the
Shockers hit just 14 of 48  shots. WSU also turned the ball over 27 times,
while UT committed 21 turnovers.
Also scoring in double figures against Wichita State were Dillard, who had 13
points, and freshman forward Stacy Stephens, who had 13 points, a game-high
eight rebounds and had a game-high seven steals in her first game as a
Longhorn.
In both their games, the Longhorns have shown much better quickness and
athleticism as a team than they showed last season.
"This was a good first outing for us," Conradt said. "We wanted to have a
strong effort on the defensive end of the floor, and we succeeded."
"We are starting and playing a lot of young people" she said, "and at this
point in time I think we have the athletic ability, the quickness and the
depth to play solid defense and press."
"Success starts with defense, and we were really good again today on "D","
Conradt added. "We came out with excellent intensity on defense, and it
helped that we started off shooting strongly."
"As we look ahead to the WNIT semifinals and if Purdue wins against
Georgetown, then we'll be playing on the road in West Lafayette," Conradt
said.
"If we do go on the road, I think we all welcome the opportunity to see how
we stack up against a top 10 team, and how we handle the pressure of being
away from Austin."

True Orange Observations

I think it is time for the Texas Athletic Department to do some major soul
searching about the way it treats Longhorn football fans.
This season has set a modern day record for callous treatment of some of the
most loyal fans in all of college football.
First, there was that unconscionable 11 a.m. kickoff of the
Lousiana-Lafayette game in early
September and then another 11 a.m. kickoff for the Oklahoma game.
I know some older Longhorn fans who had to miss the Louisiana-Lafayette game
because their doctors told them it would be hazardous to their health to
attend because they would be exposed to a potentially deadly combination of
extreme heat and three to four solid hours of blazing sunlight beaming down
on them.
Both those games were on TV and that is always the excuse UT athletic
officials come up with when kickoff times are inconvenient.
Most of us go along with things like that because nearly all of our games are
televised. Last season, 12 of the 14 were on TV.
But three games this season aren't being televised and two of them )
Colorado and Kansas ) are the longest road trips the Longhorns have in Big 12
Conference play.
The game in Colorado was nixed to allow Texas A&M at Baylor to be televised,
and the Kansas game this Saturday won't be televised so the Iowa State at
Colorado game can be aired.
I know the TV folks don't worry about fan inconvenience, but UT athletic
officials certainly should and one thing they should include in the deal if
they decide to inconvenience their fans with 11 a.m. kickoffs in early
September heat is assurance that the two longest road trips on the conference
schedule won't be nixed for TV.
One subscriber who couldn't attend the La-La game because of his doctor's
orders told me Athletic Director Deloss Dodds should sit outside in the heat
with the regular fans and he wouldn't ever have another 11 a.m. kickoff for a
Sept. 9 game.
I think most fans are willing to accept some inconvenience, but I think they
expect some sort of a trade off.
In other words, if we need to have some early games for TV, then we should
get preference on the TV for the faraway games, especially when they go up
against the likes of A&M at Baylor and Iowa State at Colorado.
It wouldn't have been a hard sell. But apparently no one in the UT Athletic
Department thought enough of the fans to ask for a quid pro quo.
Let's hope they do next year. After all, it takes pretty loyal fans to sell
out big stadiums Saturday after Saturday when their team hasn't finished in
the top 10 in 17 long years.

Horns Sign Fine Baseball Class

Texas baseball coach Augie Garrido has signed 12 of the top high school
players in Texas and throughout the country.
"Through the hard work of recruiting coordinator Tommy Harmon, Frank Anderson
and the entire baseball staff, we have once again been able to sign a
tremendous recruiting class for next season," Garrido said.
"This group includes some of the top prospects in the state and will help us
maintain this program's tradition of excellence," he added.
The signees included right-handed pitchers Luis Cortez of Sinton, Joey
Guajardo of Round Rock and Donald Levinski of Weimar.
Cortez, who ranks fifth in his class academically, posted a 0.82 ERA last
season and averaged two strikeouts per inning en route to being named the
District 30-3A Junior of the Year.
Guajardo went 11-2 on the mound for Round Rock High School during the 2000
campaign and was chosen Central Texas Player of the Year after boasting a
0.91 ERA, recording 172 strikeouts over 85 innings of work and pitching four
no-hitters.
Levinski led Weimar to the Class AA State Championship last year and earned
All-State accolades after registering a 14-1 record, an 0.70 ERA and 170
strikeouts over 95 innings of work.
Joining that trio is shortstop Michael Hollimon of Dallas Jesuit who batted
.373 last year with seven triples and was rated the 10th best prospect at
this year's Area Code Games, plus two right-handed pitcherswho also double as
shortstops. They are Kole Strayhorn of Shawnee, Okla., who posted an 8-1
record with a 0.97 ERA and 99 strikeouts over 60 innings, and Huston Street
of Austin Westlake, who not only earned second team All-Centex honors as a
pitcher with a 6-1 record and a 1.27 ERA last season, but is also the son of
legendary UT pitcher and quarterback James Street.
"Our focus with this recruiting class was to add depth in the middle infield,
behind the plate and on the mound," Harmon said.  "With the players that we
have signed for next year, we believe that we have accomplished that goal."
UT also signed top catchers James Sweeney of Houston Bellaire,  one of the
best defensive catchers in the country, and Curtis Thigpen of Forney, who
batted .515 last season for Forney High School and is also regarded as an
outstanding defensive backstop and outfielder.
Other signees were Seth Johnston of Boerne, who hit .507 and was an
All-District shortstop;  for middle infielder Ryan Olivo of Grapevine, who
earned All-District honors after batting .450;   J.D. Reininger of Smithson
Valley, who earned All-District, All-City and All-State accolades while
pitching and playing both first and third base;  and right-hander Chas Taylor
of Austin Westlake

Conradt Inks Super Class

Texas women's basketball coach Jody Conradt has signed the best player in
Texas, the best player in Oklahoma a member of Canada's Junior National Team,
and she also got the signature of a versatile guard-forward from Houston.
Joining the Longhorns next year will be 6-2 forward Kala Bowers of Woodward,
Oklahoma, a USA Today and Street & Smith All-American who is rated as the
16th best player in the nation by  the Rivals.com Top 100 recruiting service;
6-2 forward Heather Schreiber of Windthorst, an AAU All-American and
three-time First Team All-State performer rated as the No. 1 player in Texas
by the Texas Girls Basketball Report and the Texas Hoops recruiting service;
6-2 forward Jody Bell of Chestermere High School in Alberta, Canada, a member
of the 2000 Canadian Junior National Team, and 5-11 All-State guard Colencia
"Coco" Reed of Houston Jersey Village, ranked as the 18th best player in
Texas by Texas Hoops.
Bowers was one of only four high school players invited to the 2000 USA
Basketball Junior National Team Trials.
She averaged 16 points, 7.4 rebounds, three assists and three blocks per game
as a junior last year as she led Woodward to the Oklahoma state championship
game. Woodward won the state crown her sophomore year, and has lost  just two
games over the last two seasons, going 53-2.
Bowers had scholarship offers from more than a dozen top schools. She
narrowed it down to Colorado and Texas before picking the Longhorns. Illinois
and Kansas State were other schools she strongly considered.
Schreiber was named an AAU All-American this past summer while leading her
Texas AAU 17-Under squad to a third-place finish at the AAU National
Championships while averaging 21 points 13 rebounds and five assists per game.
An outstanding three-sport All-State athlete in basketball, volleyball and
track & field, Schreiber averaged 24.4 points, 10 rebounds, 5.2 steals, 4
assists and 3.4 blocks per game for Texas' 1A power Windthorst as a junior.
As a junior, Schreiber  shot 62 percent from the floor and 45 percent from
three-point range. A star on the volleyball court, she has led Windthorst to
three consecutive Texas state championships while being named State
Tournament MVP as a freshman, sophomore and junior.
On the track, Schreiber has cleared 5-10 in the high jump. She won the state
high jump crown as a sophomore and was runnerup in the high jump as a
freshman and junior and state runnerup in the long jump as a junior.
She had offered from many top schools, but committed to Texas very early in
the recruiting process.
Bell, a versatile 6-2 wing/post, was a starter on the 2000 Canadian Junior
National Team, which competed this past summer in the Tournament of the
Americas in Argentina, placing fifth.
Bell started four of the five games in the tournament. She has led
Chestermere High School to a No. 1 ranking in the province.
Named the province of 1998-99 Alberta 3A Rookie of the Year as a sophomore,
she led Chestermere to the 1999 AAA Provincial Championship.
Last season, Chestermere spent the year ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the
province. In 83 games during her two-year high school career, Bell has
registered 1,303 points for a 15.7 ppg career scoring average, and is on pace
to set the school scoring record.
Entering her senior season, she holds career averages of 10.2 rebounds, 2.2
assists, 3.2 steals and 2.4 blocks per game.
She had offers from colleges all over Canada and the northern part of the
United States, but decided she wanted to head for warmer weather for her
college career and her other finalist was Arizona State.
Reed was All-State, All-District and All-Conference last season. She also is
rated 112th nationally in the Reebok All-Star Report.
She helped lead Jersey Village into the 2000 Texas state playoffs, and her
playoff highlights included 21 points in a 63-39 win over Austin Bowie and 22
points in a 66-57 quarterfinal loss to Austin's Westlake High School
"These four players will immediately raise the talent level of our program,
just as the class of 2000 signees has done," Conradt said.
"I am extremely pleased with our signings, and the talent level coming into
our program is the result of tremendous work done by our entire coaching
staff," she said.
"Each one of these players are considered among the very best players coming
out of their respective states and, in Jody's case, in all of Canada,"
Conradt said.
"All four can play a variety of positions.  All four are mobile, athletic
players, all from winning programs, and they all  just love basketball," she
said.

Football Notes . .

Texas' offense rolled up 637 yards of total offense on Kansas Saturday. . .
Senior RB Hodges Mitchell set a school and Big 12 record for

punt returning, he overtook ISU's Troy Davis' 374 yards with his 375-yard
performance. He is also the second UT running back ever to run for
back-to-back 200-yard games. . . Freshman WR Roy Williams had three
touchdown, catching four receptions for 180 yards and two touchdowns and
rushing once for 35 yards and another touchdown . . . The Longhorns' defense

Barnes Signs Fine Pair

Heralded point guard T.J. Ford, 5-11, 165, of Sugar Land Willowridge, and
center Chris Wright, 6-10, 235, of Redwater, signed basketball letters of
intent with Texas last Wednesday, the first day of the fall signing period.
Coach Rick Barnes said Bob Gibbons' All-Star  Report  rates Ford as the
nation's top point guard recruit and picks Wright as the No. 25 center
prospect in the country.
Ford averaged 10 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 steals per game as a
junior in leading Willowridge to the Class 5A state title.
Wright averaged 20.6 points, 13 rebounds and 7 blocks per game as a junior.
I saw Ford play both games at the State Tournament last season and he is as
quick as any player  I have seen. He can run faster dribbling the ball than
most players can run without the ball.
He also has amazing court vision and can drill lightning-quick passes.
While he is a good shooter and can dunk the ball with ease, he appears to be
much more interested in setting a teammate up with an easy basket.
"With the signing of  T.J. and Chris, we feel like we are continuing to
elevate our program," Barnes said. "We are extremely pleased, as both T.J.
and Chris are not only very talented on the basketball floor, but also
outstanding young men."
Ford is the top high school prospect in the state, according to Mike
Kunstadt's Texas Hoops. He lead his team to a 36-1 overall record and the
Class 5A state title last season.
He is tabbed the 17th-best overall prospect  in the nation by Clark Francis'
Hoop Scoop, the 22nd-best prospect by ESPN.com and the 28th-best prospect by
Dave Telep's Rivals100.com.
"T.J. is one of the most unselfish players I have seen in all my years of
recruiting," Barnes said.  "He truly does not care if he scores a point. He
really loves distributing the basketball."
"T.J. is excellent at understanding how to manage the game on both ends of
the court," Barnes said. " Longhorn fans everywhere are going to fall in love
with this kid."
Wright is a versatile player who can play center or forward. He was a virtual
unknown until Barnes and his assistants discovered him last year, invited him
for an official visit, offered him a scholarship and got a commitment.
After he committed to Texas, other schools discovered him, too, and he
started showing up on recruiting lists because he is a big guy who can run,
handle the ball and is very athletic, too.
"Chris is a guy who we really stumbled upon early," Barnes said.  "He is very
athletic, he has a  tremendous work ethic and he has the ability to play
several positions on the floor.  I'm not sure anyone understands just how
good Chris can be."
With these two signings, Texas has no remaining scholarships to award for the
current season.

Two Volleyball Aces Ink with UT

Texas volleyball coach Jim Moore has signed Austin Westlake star Bethany
Howden and club All-American LaTonya Coates of Bangor, Mich.
"We worked tremendously hard in the recruiting process this year and the
result is the signing of these two fine young ladies," Moore said.
"In terms of talent on the court, this is the best class we've signed since
I've been here," Moore said. "It continues our goal of signing volleyball
players with tremendous athleticism."
Howden is a 6-2 middle blocker who recently completed her senior season. A
three-year starter, she led the Chaps to a 101-21 combined record and
back-to-back UIL District Championships.
She led Westlake in kills (303), hitting percentage (.470) and aces (27)
while ranking second in blocks (109) this season.
She was tabbed the District 14-5A Newcomer of the year as a sophomore, and
was First Team All-District and Second Team Austin American Statesman
All-Centex honors as a junior.
On the club scene, Howden is a member of Austin Juniors and recently teamed
with current Longhorn freshman Kathy Hahn to lead the 18 Navy squad to a
perfect 15-0 record in the 2000 Tour of Texas circuit. She helped 18 Navy cap
the season by finishing tops among all Texas teams (14th) at the 2000 Junior
Olympics.
She also has great Longhorn bloodlines. Her father, Lynn, was an outstanding
basketball player at Texas from 1969 through 1972. He is 6-6 and her mother,
also a UT grad, is 5-11.
"Bethany Howden not only has great athleticism and superior leaping ability,
but also has the makeup to step in and start right away," Moore said.
Coates is a 5-10 outside hitter. She is coached by her mother, Dorothy
Coates, at Bangor Public High School. Coates, a three-year starter on the
varsity squad, enters her senior season with her eyes on a third straight
All-State certificate from the Detroit Free Press.
On the club level, Coates has earned two All-America honors in leading USA
Michigan to a pair of National Championships, including the 2000 Under-17
crown in Louisville, Ky., for which she was named Tournament MVP.
She also made the All-Tournament Team at the 1999 Under-16 Championships in
New Orleans.
Coates also is one of Michigan's top softball pitchers, needing only 129
strikeouts to break the state record of 1,508, and has earned a pair of
All-Conference honors in basketball, having led her varsity team in scoring
and assists during both her freshman and sophomore seasons.
"La Tonya is probably the best all-around player we've had since Demetria
Sance," Moore said. "She is the complete package in that she has tremendous
leaping ability, solid natural offensive instincts and is a good ball-control
player."

UT Gets Super Softball Class

Texas women's softball coach Connie Clark has signed six top prospects,
headed by the nation's top recruit, 6-1 left-handed pitcher Catherine (Cat)
Osterman of Houston Cypress Springs.
Also joining the Longhorns were infielder Tiffany Anders of Katy, a
three-time All-District 19-5A selection; infielder Wynter Turner of San
Pedro, Cal., a three-time All-City and All-League performer; Melanie Jarrett
of Odessa Permian, a two-time All-District outfielder; first baseman Alexis
Garcia of Covina, Cal., South Hills, an All-League and All-California
Interscholastic Federation (CIF) selection; and catcher Jill Vaughn of
Oklahoma City Putnam North, an Oklahoma All-State performer.
Osterman is widely regarded as the top recruit in the country and was voted
to the ASA All-America Third Team in 1999 and the First Team in 2000.
She helped lead the Katy Cruisers club team to the 2000 18-Under ASA Gold
National Championship last summer.
Anders and current UT sophomore All-American infielder Lindsay Gardner of
Katy also were on the national championship Katy team
Osterman struck out 106 batters in 53 innings at the ASA National Tournament
while throwing one perfect game and one no-hitter.
She also struck out 11 batters in five innings in an exhibition game against
the gold medal-winning USA Softball Team last summer.
Osterman was named to the Texas Girls Coaches Association All-State Team in
2000 and to the All-Greater Houston and All-District 16-5A teams in 1999 and
2000.
She led the Greater Houston Area in strikeouts as a junior with  377 in 171
innings. Osterman also struck out all 21 batters she faced in a seven-inning
perfect game against Langham Creek on April 4.
Anders is the starting shortstop at Katy High School, and is a versatile
athlete who can also play second base as well as in the outfield.
Anders helped Katy to the Texas Regional Semifinals in 1998 and 2000 and to
the Area Finals in 1999.
She has made the All-District team since each year since she was a sophomore.
She is a three-sport star who also excels in basketball and cross country.
She is a two-time Second Team All-District basketball selection and was a
Regional qualifier in cross country.
Turner plays first and third base and was named First Team All-City and
All-League as a freshman, sophomore and junior at San Pedro High School.
She led San Pedro to the Los Angeles City Championship in 1998 and 2000 and
was an All-Area First Team selection in 1999 and 2000.
Turner played club softball with the California Batbusters and will add a
powerful bat to the Longhorn lineup.
Vaughn is a powerful hitter and catcher at Putnam North HS in Oklahoma City.
She holds Putnam North's career home run record with 28 and led the team to a
third-place finish in the Oklahoma State Tournament in 1998 and 1999.
She earned All-State, All-Conference, All-District and All-City honors in
2000. She helped lead the Oklahoma Jitterbugs club team to the 2000 ASA
Under-23 A-Ball National Championship.
Jarrett was voted Permian's Defensive Player of the Year last season. She was
an All-District 4-5A outfielder as a sophomore and junior, and competed at
the U.S. Scholar Athlete Games in 1999.
She is an outstanding student and was president of her sophomore and junior
class.
Garcia plays first and third base at South Hills. She earned First Team
All-Leage and All-CIF honors as a junior, as well as being named South Hills'
MVP and Best Defensive Player.
Garcia has led South Hills to two Valle Vista League Championships (1998,
1999) and is a two-time South Hills Scholastic High Honor Roll member.
"With Osterman and the solid group of athletes we are surrounding her with, I
feel we have one of the top classes nationally for next year," Clark said.
"We are pleased that we were able to recruit the offense we will need to
surround Osterman's phenomenal pitching, as we graduate five seniors at the
end of the upcoming 2001 season."
"This class, combined with this year's newcomers, provide the stability,
talent and enthusiasm we need for the future," she said.

Horns Sign Top Golfer

Texas golf coach John Fields has signed three-time Future Collegians World
Tour All-American Charlie Santaularia of Free State HS in Lawrence, Kansas.
Santaularia is the No. 1 player in the state of Kansas and is ranked No. 31
in the nation by the Golfweek/Titleist Rankings.
"We are extremely excited to have Charlie coming to UT," Fields said. "He has
an outstanding attitude, a great desire for the game and one of the best
all-around players out there. He is a great addition and will be a strong
part of our team for many years to come."
A three-time Kansas City Star All-Metro Team selection, Santaularia led his
high school to a third-place finish at the 2000 Kansas 6A State Championship
Tournament,where he placed second individually.
In the last three seasons, he has won 12 high school tournaments and posted
three top-five finishes at the state championships.
On the junior national level, Santaularia has posted 10 first-place finishes

Why One Firm Thinks Enron Is Running Out of Gas
By Peter Eavis
Senior Columnist

TheStreet.com, 05/10/01

A small research boutique with a reputation for rigorous analysis is telling
clients to quickly dump Enron (ENE:NYSE - news), believing that the energy
trading giant's 2001 earnings will fall well short of Wall Street's
forecasts.
Cambridge, Mass.-based Off Wall Street, led by analyst Mark Roberts, thinks
Enron's 2001 earnings will fall 6 cents short of the consensus estimate of
$1.79. The firm also believes Enron stock should trade around $30, nearly 50%
below Wednesday's $59.20.
The firm's 26-page report, published May 6, highlights Enron's declining
profitability and increasing leverage and suggests that the company should
trade on the same sort of multiple as a trading firm like Goldman Sachs (GS
:NYSE - news), which has a 2001 price-to-earnings ratio about half of Enron's
33 times. OWS also alleges that Enron's earnings quality is poor and that key
parts of its financial statements are confusing and opaque.
Houston-based Enron didn't comment by publication time on elements of the
report that Detox sent the company. An energy analyst who is bullish on
Enron's outlook says the OWS report contains fundamental misunderstandings
about the energy market and Enron's business model, but he says the report
does include some ground-breaking and valid insights. (The analyst's firm
doesn't give stock recommendations.)
Economies of Scale
Why care what Off Wall Street writes, compared with, say, analysts at Merrill
Lynch (MER:NYSE - news)? For one, OWS has an excellent track record.
Particularly sweet was 2000, when the tech stocks it had bashed came crashing
down. It has also shown itself to be well ahead of the curve, recommending
that clients sell e-tailer priceline.com (PCLN:Nasdaq - news) in June 1999,
when faith in Internet stocks was at its blindest and their prices at their
most insane.

Pulling Back
Enron retreats after long rally

Enron, with its domination of a burgeoning energy market, annual revenue of
over $100 billion and impressive earnings growth, can hardly be ranked
alongside the likes of priceline. But OWS thinks Enron is set for a
precipitous drop nonetheless. Why?
OWS's main beef is that key profitability measures are in decline. Margins on
Enron's pretax operating earnings (which the company's earnings releases call
IBIT, or income before interest, taxes and other items) are falling. Total
IBIT of $795 million in the first quarter amounted to only 1.59% of the $50
billion in revenue for the period, compared with a 2.08% margin in the fourth
quarter and 4.75% in the year-earlier period. Revenue in the first quarter
was nearly quadrupled from the year-earlier period, yet IBIT rose only 27%.
This shrinkage is due to lower-margin trading income making up an
increasingly large share of Enron's revenue base.
OWS thus calculates that for the remainder of 2001 Enron needs to generate an
extra $2.1 billion in revenue for each additional penny it makes over its
2000 EPS of $1.47 to reach analysts' expectation of $1.79.
The energy analyst counters that OWS apparently hasn't grasped how Enron can
continue to increase earnings even when margins shrink. It does so simply by
increasing volumes as the energy market balloons in size. In other words,
margins may decline, but since revenues are so much higher, earnings still go
up. Illustrating this, first-quarter 2001 EPS of 49 cents was 23% ahead of
the year-ago figure, even though the IBIT margin shrank by 3.2 percentage
points. The analyst thinks Enron will make $1.82 per share in 2001.
Growing On You
In addition, the huge growth in the energy market that has so helped Enron is
likely to continue for several years, according to the analyst. He notes that
roughly 75% of the electricity available in the U.S. still isn't traded in a
market. "Eventually it will be part of a competitive environment, but it'll
take five to 10 years," says the analyst. And he believes the extreme
volatility in energy-related commodities that has also benefited Enron will
exist for longer than OWS projects.
Still, OWS's point on profitability is bolstered by other profit measures.
Return on capital (net income as a percentage of equity plus debt) was 6.6%
in 2000, down on 1999's 6.9% and well below the 2000 returns on capital at
Duke (DUK:NYSE - news) (11.8%), Dynegy (DYN:NYSE - news) (12.1%) and even
Goldman (8.9%).
Even Enron bulls will admit that its financials are hard to follow. For
example, it doesn't give a gross margin number for its wholesale services, or
trading, business, which accounts for 96% of revenue. But one area of the
company's financial statements registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission that consistently bugs analysts is the part that describes Enron's
related party transactions, which are the deals it does with entities that
have some sort of link to the firm. In fact, one of the related entities that
Enron has traded with is headed by Enron's CFO, Andrew Fastow. The energy
analyst comments: "Why are they doing this? It's just inappropriate."
The reason for maintaining these hard-to-follow related party deals has been
a source of speculation. But OWS analysis shows how a sales of optical fiber
to a related party may have been used to goose earnings in the second quarter
of 2000. Estimated profits from the so-called dark fiber (optical cable
without the gear to send data over it) transaction allowed Enron to beat
analysts' second-earnings earnings estimate by 2 cents a share, rather than
missing by 2 cents.
How soon before Wall Street follows Off Wall Street on Enron?

Enron's Lay: California Power Crisis and Generation
2001-05-10 10:31 (New York)

     White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia, May 9, 2001 (Bloomberg) -- Kenneth
Lay, chairman of Enron Corp., talks with Bloomberg's Dylan Ratigan about the
outlook for the California power crisis, Enron's role in power generation and
supply, and success of Enron's e-commerce platform. They speak at the Business
Council CEO Summit.

Enron's Kenneth Lay on California Power Crisis: Comment
2001-05-10 12:45 (New York)

     White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia, May 10 (Bloomberg) -- The following
are comments by Kenneth Lay, chairman of Enron Corp., the world's largest
energy trader, on the California power crisis. He made the comments in an
interview on Bloomberg TV.

     On consumer rate increases and the future of Edison
International's and PG&E Corp. The two companies own California's two largest
utilities, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric Co.

     ``The higher rates, which have now finally been approved, which go into
effect this month, appear to be just about right in order to get the
utilities, at least So Cal Edison, back on (their) feet and maybe PG&E out of
bankruptcy. But then again there are so many other pieces to that, from the
standpoint of restructuring the market where you do have direct access where
consumers can pick their supplier.

     ``Maybe over time, 18 months to two years down the road, even the large
industrial customers will be able to do their electricity the same way they
do their gas. They buy it directly from companies that are competitors and
buy it from people other than the utilities.''

On electricity pricing and generation:

     ``At the same time we need to be pushing very hard on peak pricing this
summer. We need much higher prices during the peak periods and much lower
prices during the non-peak periods. We need a more aggressive demand buy-down
(conservation) program.''

     ``They absolutely need more generation. As you well know throughout the
90s there were no new power plants built in the state of California. They've
got to start building power plants in the state of California''

On Enron benefiting from California crisis:

     ``We don't' have any generation in the state of California, though we
are major suppliers of natural gas and electricity.  Obviously there has been
a lot of volatility there and it's been a strong market, but we are not well
served by a market that is that
volatile and unstable. That is why we have been working very hard to see if
we can come together with other people to see if we can
solve it.
     ``We have benefited somewhat, but keep in mind that we have to buy
supply to sell supply since we don't have generation in the state. We have to
pay high prices to buy it and sell it at high prices.''

On the possibility of legal action against power suppliers in California:

     ``We in fact believe there is absolutely nothing we have done that is
illegal or incorrect in the state of California. This is largely a matter of
trying to demagogue the issue, trying to distract from the issue of not
putting into place a comprehensive
plan to solve the issue.''

USA: UPDATE 1-Cooler weather gives Calif. a break from blackouts.
By James Jelter

05/10/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10 (Reuters) - Cooler weather lifted some of the load from
California's straining power grid on Thursday, sharply reducing the
likelihood of rolling blackouts, state energy officials said.
"Generator outages have crept up but the temperatures are cooler so we don't
expect to have to call for blackouts today," Stephanie McCorkle, a
spokeswoman for the California Independent System Operator (ISO) said.
The ISO, the agency that manages most of the state's electricity transmission
grid, ordered two consecutive days of blackouts on Monday and Tuesday as the
state's power crisis again resulted in critical energy shortages.
Blackouts were narrowly averted Wednesday, in part because temperatures began
to fall. Lower temperatures mean a drop in air conditioning, which on hot
days accounts for about a third of overall electricity demand from the
state's 34 million residents.
"Temperatures are especially lower in the (San Francisco) Bay Area and Los
Angeles, but the inland areas are still really hot," McCorkle said.
Central Valley cities like Sacramento, Fresno and Bakersfield were all
expected to see afternoon temperatures Thursday around 88-100 degrees
Fahrenheit (31-38 C).
And electricity supplies were still far from healthy. The ISO went to a Stage
Two alert shortly after 1 p.m. (2000 GMT) when reserves dropped to a
precariously thin 5 percent of demand - well below the ideal 15 percent
reserve margin.
Should reserves drop to just 1.5 percent, triggering a top level Stage Three
alert, the ISO will call on utilities to start rolling blackouts, cutting
power to blocks of customers in a bid to avoid collapsing the grid.
BETTER, BUT NOT GREAT
ISO operators, locked in a minute-by-minute battle to balance supply and
demand on the system, said about 13,000 megawatts of generation were offline
for repair or maintenance Thursday, roughly enough to serve the needs of 13
million homes at any given moment.
"That's about 1,000 megawatts more than yesterday," McCorkle said.
California, the nation's most populous state and the world's sixth largest
economy, endured two days of rolling blackouts earlier this week, the fifth
and sixth days so far this year the lights have gone out.
State energy officials warn the number and duration of these outages will
likely rise through the summer, depending on how hot it gets, how much
Californians can conserve, and how much power can be added to the grid
through the state's accelerated power plant construction program.
Though blackouts look unlikely over the next few days, the ISO warns May
remains a tough month, with many power plants shut for maintenance needed to
put them in top shape for the hot summer months ahead.
"We're at that point where we can't afford to defer outages any longer. We're
trying really hard to get as much generation ready and on line for June,"
McCorkle said.
Another 600 megawatts is shut for financial reasons, the result of the
state's cash-strapped utilities failing to pay plant owners for the power
they desperately need.
ROCKETING PRICES
Prices in California's volatile wholesale power market have exploded tenfold
over the past year, the result of failing to keep pace with its citizens'
rapidly growing power needs and a badly flawed bid to deregulate its
electricity industry.
California is currently spending $50-90 million a day buying emergency power.
On Wednesday, state legislators approved a $13.4 billion bond issue to covert
this staggering cost.
Gov. Gray Davis, after months of accusing independent power generators of
using California's energy crisis to line their own pockets, met Wednesday
with executives of several of those companies to discuss a way out of the
mess.
The four-hour, closed door meeting produced no concrete results, but gave
Davis an opportunity to ask producers to accept a 30 percent cut in payments
they are owed by California.
Enron Corp., Mirant, Reliant, Dynegy Inc. and other merchant generators at
the meeting reiterated they have done nothing wrong and that their steep
wholesale prices fairly reflect rising fuel costs and the financial risks
they bear by continuing to do business in California's volatile power market.

CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNNfn ANCHOR, THE MONEY GANG: You are watching "The Money
Gang," and we are "Talking Stocks".
DAVID HAFFENREFFER, CNNfn ANCHOR, THE MONEY GANG: And we are with Charles
White, from Avatar Associates. We have on the phone, Jack, from Texas. Hi,
Jack.
ROMANS: Actually, it`s Jeff in Indiana.
HAFFENREFFER: All right.
ROMANS: Hi, Jeff?
CALLER: Hi, I was just wondering what your take on Service Corporation
International (URL: http://www.sci-corp.com/) was-and if you`d recommend a
buy?
CHARLES WHITE, AVATAR ASSOCIATES: This is one where, you know, for the
longest time, this had been a very dependable stock in the-I guess, deaf care
services industry. They do have a road out planned here for the financial
distress that the company has been under. It`s one where as an institutional
investor, we`ve been avoiding the name, avoiding the sector for a few years
now. We do look at the sector from time to time, but it`s not something we
want to get involved in here.
ROMANS: OK. Let`s go to the phones again now. John, in New York has a
question. Hi, John.
CALLER: Hi. With all of the talk about energy today, why aren`t companies
like Enron (URL: http://.www.enron.com/) and Williams Energy (URL:
http://www.williamsenergy.com/) doing better?
WHITE: These are companies where-you know, on the Enron side, and Williams
side, part of the multiple and part of the valuation that was in them was for
the telecom services piece of that. And it`s not secret that telecom services
has been slightly under distress here. It`s not clear how all of the issues
with California are going to play out and there`s a little bit of uncertainty
layered on to that. So, that may explain why these stocks haven`t performed
better. But we think that Enron is still probably a stock you would want to
have a core position in your portfolio.
HAFFENREFFER: OK. Our last call of the afternoon goes to O`Neil in Texas. Hi,
O`Neil.
CALLER: Hi, thanks for taking my call. My was on Cisco. And, Charles, you
were here last month, if I remember correctly, on April 10th. And at that
time you appeared negative on technology but today I see you have been
recommending Intel-and what do you think of Cisco?
WHITE: Cisco is-you`re correct, we were fairly negative on tech at that time.
We`ve moved back to a closer to market weighting as the Fed has gotten more
aggressive here. But in Cisco`s case, this is a stock that I think longer
term, you probably do want to be in. But the earnings announcement we saw the
other day, all of the cloudiness about the outlook for the future, I think
this is one where you want to wait and watch. You know, try and accumulate it
on a bad day for the stock in the face of some negative news. But this is not
one where we can come out and pound the table and say we want to be involved.
They still have-the sector in general, for networking still has some issues
to get through. Not as-not like the semiconductor sector. Semiconductor
sector we think will be quicker to recover. So, that`s why we`re more
favorably disposed on an Intel or Applied Materials (URL:
http://www.appliedmaterials.com/) .
ROMANS: What do you think about EMC? That is our stock of the day today.
WHITE: That`s one where they do have a very good and solid competitive
position, although the-it is dwindling a bit. Again, uncertainty in demand.
If the storage sector is going to work longer term-and we believe it is-you
can buy the stock today, come back to it in three or four years and be happy
you bought it today. Unfortunately, there aren`t probably 3 percent of the
people who are watching this show right now, that have a time frame of three
to five years. So we think it`s a good holding in the portfolio longer term,
but we`d say there are probably better opportunities to buy it here if you
already own some. Add to it on bad days are because longer term, this is one
of the names that`s a winner.
ROMANS: OK. Just for the record, your picks are Wal*Mart (URL:
http://www.wal-mart.com/) , Cummins Engine (URL: http://www.ml.com/) .
Charles White, Avatar Associates. Thanks so much.
WHITE: Your welcome.

USA: NewPower beats its expectations, reaffirms 2001 view.

05/10/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.

PURCHASE, N.Y., May 10 (Reuters) - U.S. retail power provider NewPower
Holdings Inc. posted a first-quarter loss narrower than it expected on
Thursday and reaffirmed its outlook for the year.
The company, the parent of The New Power Co., a provider of electricity and
natural gas to residential and small commercial customers, reported a net
loss of $50.2 million, or 86 cents per basic and diluted share. The company
had forecast a loss of 88 to 95 cents a share. Revenues were $126 million for
the first quarter.
The company forecast a second-quarter net loss of $52 million to $56 million,
or 89 cents to 96 cents a share, on revenues between $70 and $75 million.
NewPower reiterated its forecast that 2001 revenues would be between $530
million and $540 million. The company still expects the net loss for 2001 to
be between $210 million and $215 million, or between $3.61 and $3.70 per
share. Analysts had expected a loss of $4.21 a share, according to research
firm Thomson Financial/First Call.
"NewPower continues to forge ahead with its growth strategies as demonstrated
by delivering on key financial metrics, net revenue, gross margin and energy
delivered," said President and Chief Executive H. Eugene Lockhart.

NewPower Has Narrower-Than-Expected 1st-Quarter Loss (Update1)

NewPower Has Narrower-Than-Expected 1st-Quarter Loss (Update1)

     Purchase, New York, May 10 (Bloomberg) -- NewPower Holdings
Inc., a venture formed last year by Enron Corp., had a narrower
loss than it projected in the first quarter on sales of power and
natural gas to homes and small businesses.
     The loss was $50.2 million, or 86 cents a share. NewPower had
forecast a per-share loss of 88 cents to 95 cents, spokeswoman
Gael Doar said. Revenue was $126 million, more than the company
expected.
     NewPower, which sold shares to the public in October,
competes for sales in Pennsylvania, Texas, Georgia and other
states with deregulated retail-energy markets. The Purchase, New
York-based company expects to have 1.2 million customers by the
end of this year.
     The company sees revenue of $70 million to $75 million in the
second quarter because of lower seasonal demand for power and gas.
It sees a second-quarter loss of $52 million to $56 million, or 89
cents to 96 cents a share, which is better than it expected.
     NewPower still projects a loss of $210 million to $215
million, or $3.61 to $3.70 a share, this year on revenue of $530
million to $540 million.
     NewPower had a fourth-quarter loss of $57.5 million, or $1.02
a share, on revenue of $64.7 million.
     Houston-based Enron, the largest energy trader, owns about 24
percent of NewPower. Enron, which sells power and gas to utilities
and large energy users, is NewPower's biggest shareholder.
     Shares of NewPower fell 47 cents to $9.03. They have fallen
57 percent since the stock sale.

Vince:

Ken Rice received a call through a friend's referral from Dr. Tom Limperis (a
professor at the University of Michigan).  Dr. Limperis has developed a
statistical database management system he would like to show Enron.  Ken
would like you to return this call on his behalf.  He feels that you are
probably the only person who will understand and be able to determine if
Enron should have an interest.

Do you mind returning this call?  Please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi, Vince,

 I had a chance to talk to my direct boss Tom Moore ( Director ) about the
possibility of transfers to Research Group.
 He had a positive reaction, he thinks me is a good fit for the research.
 Hope this is useful information.

Could you send me an electronic version of the ISDA that was signed between

BRAZIL: MEETING OF MAE ON FEBRUARY 29TH
Gazeta Mercantil, 29 Feb 2000, p. A-15:-
 Companies which are part of the MAE (Electricity Wholesale Market) will hold
a general meeting on February 29th 2000 with the intention to discuss the new
rules for the operations of the sector.
The companies will discuss, for example, one resolution taken on February
25th which concedes credits for the companies and other which increases the
number of available plants to operate in peak periods.

BRAZIL: RURAL ELECTRIFICATION IN RIO DE JANEIRO
Gazeta Mercantil, 29 Feb 2000, p. a-13:-
 According to the president of the Brazilian electricity company Cerj,
Alejandro Danus, the company has already informed the Brazilian Ministry of
Mining and Energy that it will join the rural electrification program 'Luz no
Campo' of the ministry, expecting to sign the contract in 15 days.
The two other electricity concessionaires which operate in the state of Rio
de Janeiro had already agreed to join the program, but Cerj took longer to
reach the same decision because it was analysing which technology should be
used in its concession area. Cerj is expected to invest R$ 60mn in the area,
mainly in the north of the state, benefiting 30,000 families which still do
not have access to electricity.

BRAZIL ANGRA-2 TO START OPERATIONS
Folha de S.Paulo, 27 Feb 2000, p. 1-14:-
 The Brazilian National Nuclear Energy Commission (Cnen) established the
deadline of March 15th 2000 to release an authorisation for the operation of
the nuclear power station Angra 2 of the Brazilian state-owned nuclear
electricity company Eletronuclear in the Brazilian city of Angra dos Reis
(state of Rio de Janeiro).
With the authorisation, Angra 2 can begin to charge its reactor, testing and
inspecting safety after that. If everything is successful, the power station
ill begin to generate electricity in the end of April 2000 and generating
1,245 MW 3 months after that. But this time may be much longer, considering
that the previous nuclear power station Angra 1 took more than 3 years to
operate commercially after the charging.

BRAZIL: ELETROSUL IN POWER TRANSMISSION LINE
Gazeta Mercantil, 29 Feb 2000, p. a-13:-
 Groups which want to compete in the tender for the construction of a power
transmission line between the Brazilian cities of Campos Novos and Blumenau
(state of Santa Catarina) must be qualified until March 15th 2000.
The company Eletrosul, a subsidiary of the Brazilian state-owned electricity
company Eletrobras, will compete in the tender alone (not participating in
any consortium).
Eletrosul signed pre-contracts with the companies ABB (Asea Brown Boveri) and
Siemens which will conduct works and supply equipment (Eletrosul will operate
the lines).

ARGENTINA: IMPACT OF POWERGEN'S ACQUISITION
El Cronista Comercial, 29 Feb 2000, p. 15:-
 With the acquisition of US-based LG&E Energy for US$ 5.4bn, UK-based
PowerGen will become the owner of stakes in Argentina's gas distribution
companies Gas Natural BAN, Distribuidora de Gas del Centro and Cuyana. LG&E
has 1mn clients in Kentucky, Virginia, Spain and Argentina.

BRAZIL: FREE IMPORT OF FUEL POSTPONEMENT
O Estado de S.Paulo, 26 Feb 2000, p. b-1:-
 The Brazilian executive-secretary of the Ministry of Treasury, Amaury Bier,
declared on February 25th 2000 that the Brazilian market of oil and
derivatives will be opened only in January 2001, and not in August 2000, as
predicted in the Oil Law.
The federal government will propose the change of this date to the Congress
through a draft law.
The reason for this measure, according to Bier, is that the oil sector is
currently too confused. He also informed that the government did not create a
substitute for the Specific Price Parcel (PPE) yet. The PPE is the part of
the fuel price which maintains the oil account.

BRAZIL: INCREASE OF FUELS PRICES
O Estado de S.Paulo, 26 Feb 2000, p. B-1:-
 The executive-secretary of the Brazilian Ministry of Treasury, Amaury Bier,
announced on February 25th 2000 that the following fuels will have their
prices increased on March 1st 2000:
- gasoline and diesel oil by 7% in the refineries and
- kerosene for aircraft by 23%.
According to government estimations, this increase of gasoline prices in
refineries will result in an increase by 5% in gas stations, for final
consumers. The increase of the kerosene will result in an increase by 3% in
flights tickets prices.

BRAZIL: OIL SPILLAGE IN PARA
Folha de S.Paulo, 29 Feb 2000, p. 3-8:-
 The Brazilian subsidiary of the American oil company Texaco will keep
cleaning the river Para probably by the first weekend of March 2000.
The company already removed 25% of the total 1.9 tonnes of fuel BPF spilled
in the river.

ARGENTINA: LOWERING TAXES, IMPOSSIBLE FOR NOW
El Cronista Comercial, 29 Feb 2000, p.2:-
 Officials at the Argentine Revenue Service warn that it would be impossible
to lower taxes for now. Many are requesting that fuel and value added taxes
be lowered but this would mean US$ 2bn less in government revenues. When
considering the government fiscal deficit, it is easy to understand why the
government must look toward solutions that would increase tax collection and
not reduce it.

ECUADOR: EDC PLANS TO EXPLOIT GAS
El Comercio (Ecuador), 29 Feb 2000, p. 1:-
 The firm, Energy Development Corporation (EDC) announced that it will invest
some US$ 100mn in a project to exploit natural gas in the coastal zone of
Ecuador. Drilling is scheduled to begin in May 2000 with production entering
the first phase in the 3rd quarter of 2001 with 32mn cubic feet daily, enough
to generate 204 megawatts of electrical energy.

SPAIN: REPSOL YPF'S STRATEGIC PLANS
Cinco Dias, 29 Feb 2000, p.5:-
 Spanish oil operator Respsol YPF, which has broken its agreement with
Spanish electricity operator Iberdrola, intends to operate in the electricity
market in countries where it is active in gas business, particularly
Argentina, Brazil and Spain.
On the other hand, negotiations between Repsol YPF and Italian oil operator
ENI (Ente Nazionale d'Idrocarburi) are taking place.  In any case, eventual
agreements will be implemented when ENI's privatisation process will conclude.
Additionally, the Spanish group expects to reduce nearly Euro 520mn costs by
2002, mainly through workforce reduction.

ARGENTINA: SALE OF CGC
La Nacion (Argentina), 29 Feb 2000, p. 2/1:-
 The investment banks Dresdner Kleinwort Benson and Dresdner Bank are close
to a contract to take charge of the sale of a 51% stake in the Argentine oil
company Compania General de Combustibles (CGC), owned by Sociedad Comercial
del Plata (Soldati group).

BOLIVIA: CHACO SEEKS NEW CLIENTS
Los Tiempos (Bolivia), 29 Feb 2000, p. on line:-
 Bolivia's oil and gas firm Chaco announced it is concentrating its efforts
on gaining new clients for the gas it plans to trade from Bolivia to Brazil.
The firm will place in Brazil 30mn cubic metres of gas per day during a
20-year term, according to the contract it signed with the Brazilian
government. Early in 1999, Chaco was negotiating a contract with Pan American
Energy which failed due to the opposition of YPF, the Argentine oil company.

BOLIVIA/BRAZIL: COMPANIES TO TRADE GAS
El Diario (Bolivia), 29 Feb 2000, p. on line:-
 Bolivia's oil and gas company YPFB informed eight firms will export some
9.1mn cubic metres of gas per day from Bolivia to Brazil during the year

countries. The amount to be traded per company is as follows:

Chris and I would like to take this opportunity to update everyone on what has been happening on the floor(s) during the last couple of weeks and what is likely to transpire in the weeks to come.  I'd like to begin by apologizing for the lack of broad e-mail communications or floor meetings over the last couple of weeks.  These have been very hard times and I know that people have wanted information.  It has taken us nearly a week to sort through who will be part of the UBS Warburg team and who continue with Enron.

In this e-mail I will explain: (1) who will be going to UBS Warburg, (2) who do the people working for Enron work for and what are they expected to do, (3) how will the physical separation between Enron and UBS Warburg happen, and (4) when will the sale of Netco to UBS Warburg be completed.  In addition to Chris Calger and me, the following Portland-based employees have accepted positions with UBS Warburg:

While there are a few people who are still making up their minds, the rest of the people in our office will be working for the Enron estate.  It is not entirely clear to me right now what the management team for west power looks like for the Enron estate now.  As I understand it, there are two primary initiatives on the estate side that people in Portland may be a part of.  The first is the disposition of our development projects that are already well under way.  Dave Parquet in San Francisco has been leading this effort together with the Portland asset development team.  This effort has been ongoing since December.  The second is the disposition of our west power commodity positions.  Jim Fallon is in charge of this for the entire company.  People working on this for Jim include Don Miller, Paul Racicot, Brad Richter, Ed Baughman among others.  I have placed a call to Jim and to Paul to get advice on how people in Portland should proceed.  I would recommend talking to Ed, Brad, Paul, or Don to get direction.  I have placed a call to several of these people to get direction and am waiting for a response.  I am hopeful that they will designate a lead person in Portland to coordinate the power procurement and delivery efforts.

As most of you know, the physical separation between UBS Warburg and Enron has already begun.  People who will continue to work for Enron will be located on the 4th Floor, while UBS Warburg will occoupy the 3rd Floor.  We hope to make the moves to the 4th Floor by the end of this week.  Moves within the 3rd Floor will take place the following week.

The UBS Warburg transaction is subject to one last pro forma regulatory hurdle.  While I don't have an exact date, I am told that it will likely be on or about February 6th.

Finally, I want to once again thank everyone for their help and cooperation over the last few weeks.  These have been really horrible times as the Enron story continues to unfold in the news at the same time that people are finding out about their future with Enron and UBS.  I know that this hasn't been easy for anyone.  I am deeply saddened overseeing the breakup of the awesome team that we have put together.  Whether you are going to UBS, remaining with Enron, or leaving the company, I wish everyone who worked on this team the best in their future endeavors.  It has been a distinct honor to work with each and every one of you.

Regards,
Tim

I saw Bill Perkins today, he was on 33.  I heard someone call my name and I
was like hey Bill.  Weird huh?


I just wanted to let you know that if there is anything I can do to help I am more than willing to do it.  These are difficult times and I am doing alot of floor meetings and table talks with the employees.  They clearly do not understand how we got into this situation and just want some face time with Management.  With the exception of NEPCO our fourth quarter looks good.  I have uncovered alot of issues with NEPCO that I do not think anyone knew existed.  I'll know more Friday after a businnes/budget review session.

Please let me know if I can help.

Daren...

meeting.

Thanks...I hope things are going well.

Subject: O&M agreements

Attached please find both blacklined and execution of the respective O&M
Agreements for the 2 facilities, excluding certain exhibits.  Jay Sonneburg
with Bracewell will be taking the execution copies with him in order to get
the 2 LLC's signature when Enron takes control of the LLCs.

Jay will attach Schedule 1 to each agreement which is a description of the
facilities.  My understanding is that Dwight will be forwarding electronic
versions of Schedule 2 - Permits and Schedule 3 - Budget for both
agreements.  All other schedules are already attached to the agreements
themselves.

Because I will be out of the office most of the day tomorrow in meetings and
Jay will have his hands otherwise very full at the closing, I would suggest
getting with me asap on Tues. if any material changes are needed.  At this
point I would not recommend changing any non-material changes.

I am available today to discuss at your convenience and can be reached at
(713) 221-1396.  Best regards.

Some of the accountants have been able to flag a few items that can be
archived but it has only been a very little.  Most of them are asking the
same question.  They want to know if there will be file cabinet space to
store the items that they are  not ready to send to archive but have no room
to store on their desks?  This is placing a hold on the archiving project
because I can't archive anything that the accountants won't give me the go
ahead on and quite frankly,  this is nearly everything I touch.  Please
help.  Maybe if they knew where their things were going to be stored,  I
could at least help box it up for them to move with them.  Thanks.
