Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) called yesterday for a Justice Department
review of White House senior advisor Karl Rove's repeated discussions with
executives and representatives of companies in which he held stock.
In a letter to White House counsel Alberto R. Gonzales, Waxman said Rove
appeared to be in violation of federal conflict-of-interest laws.
Gonzales has said he was satisfied that Rove "took care to avoid" any
impropriety in meeting in March with Intel Corp. executives, and in
participating in broad discussions about administration energy policy while
owning more than $100,000 worth of Intel Corp. stock and more than $200,000
worth of stock in Enron Corp., General Electric Co. and other energy
companies. On June 7, Rove sold more than $1 million in stock in companies
doing business with the government.
Waxman, ranking Democrat on the House Government Reform Committee, said
federal law requires executive branch departments and agencies, including the
White House, to report "any information, allegation or complaint" involving
potential criminal conduct by an employee to the Justice Department. He said
he was not aware of any reason Rove should be exempt from such outside
investigation.
White House spokesman Dan Bartlett said Waxman's letter is under review, but
added, "We are confident that Karl followed all ethical guidelines and
statutes in his role as senior adviser to the president."

Business World: How To Execute 10%, Nicely
By Holman W. Jenkins Jr.

07/18/2001
The Wall Street Journal
A19
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)

How come Ford adopts the same white-collar performance review system as
General Electric but gets vilified for it, hounded by discrimination lawyers
and AARP? Last week, less than a year after launching it, CEO Jacques Nasser
was moved to dump a brand new executive grading system designed to weed out
the least capable 10% of Ford's managers.
The short answer is that Ford isn't GE, though Jack Welch has been a model
for what Mr. Nasser seeks to accomplish at the auto company.
Bringing such a Torquemada system into a firm that faces slowing sales and
whose own boss considers his colleagues notoriously flabby and easy on
themselves meant it was a downsizing scheme from the start, whether
advertised that way or not. GE didn't introduce its version until a decade
after the Neutron Jack phase. But never mind. Trumpeting a win last week,
AARP declared its victory goes way beyond Ford. It sure does.
Forced ranking has waxed and waned as a fad over the decades, and most
students of management hold their noses around it. Its resurgence, at a time
when many employers are contemplating their first layoffs in years, can only
mean that companies are nervous about preserving their freedom to hire and
fire in a world run increasingly by the job-discrimination bar.
Ask any non-deluded European. What makes the U.S. economy relatively nimble
is that companies are not afraid to take on workers because they know they
can always get rid of them later. Harsh as this sounds, it's why we have a
lush job market compared to the employment Saharas of the Old World.
Yet firing in America has been a work in progress. Half a decade ago,
enlightened companies tried employee buyouts, but the lawyers descended,
forcing companies to offer the buyouts indiscriminately. Result: Highly
marketable workers took the windfall and immediately found other jobs, while
people who considered themselves unemployable skipped the loot and clung to
their cubicles.
Other companies, on the theory that it was OK to tell people they had to go
because their functions or departments were being discontinued, bravely
downsized the old-fashioned way. But this was no proof against lawsuits.
Remember Texaco, Coca-Cola and others where the very existence of
affirmative-action programs became fodder for litigation by both minorities
and older white employees?
Searching for a way out of the legal maze, Ford tried two years ago to
combine forced ranking with buyouts, aiming offers exclusively at low-ranked
employees. Result: grumbling in the hallways of "rewarding failure" and good
employees angling for low grades so they could become eligible for a golden
parachute. Finally, starting this year, Ford opted for an out-and-out forced
ranking system, which would have given 10% of white-collar employees annually
a "C" grade that meant either shape up or you're gone next year.
Microsoft, Lucent, Conoco, Enron and EDS all have used forced ranking to
maintain or improve the quality of their work forces. While many find the
idea distasteful or complain it substitutes a yearly spasm for what should be
a continuous process, at least it solves a real problem. Survey after survey
finds that even the happiest worker-bees gripe about their employer's
reluctance to get strict with poor performers. A recent McKinsey poll of
managers at big companies found that only 16% said their employer could even
recognize the difference between stars and slackers.
But Ford was already in the soup over the Explorer/Firestone fiasco. It
didn't stand a chance when the Detroit papers opened a new front over its
A-B-C grading system for 18,000 managers. Accentuating the coverage was a
simmering quest to discover any sort of rift between Mr. Nasser and his
chairman, Bill Ford, great-grandson of the founder.
Mr. Ford has somehow been anointed keeper of the company's conscience because
of blood chemistry or something. Inevitably, he wants to be liked and wants
the company to be liked. Putting a Ford in the chairmanship was probably the
worst thing the company could have done at a time when Mr. Nasser was clearly
set on giving the place a kick in the pants.
In the ranking controversy, Mr. Ford soon was reported to be "concerned about
the system's impact on morale." Notice how this differs from "the system is
an urgent necessity so Ford can become a better company." With this kind of
support, management quickly wilted in the face of pressure from the old-folks
lobby (which has appointed itself guardian of anybody over 45) and other
victim contingents.
Mr. Nasser didn't help himself by appearing in a Ford diversity video
haranguing an audience for containing "too many white faces" or by installing
rewards for executives who meet minority hiring goals. Presto, lawsuits
galore. The ones Ford will have the most trouble with are those filed by
white males claiming they were victims of age discrimination in order to make
way for blacks and women.
One of the ironies, as Ford shows, is that companies these days have reasons
of their own for recruiting minorities and women. Were the supposedly
archaic, 19th-century principle of freedom of contract still in effect --
i.e., employers are free to hire and fire at will -- there would be a lot
more affirmative action, a lot more honestly pursued.
GE may not exactly be the rainbow coalition, but it does have a lesson for
Ford. Under its version of forced rankings, 10% of managers are assigned to a
bottom grade each year, which means they're cut off from the rich booty GE
awards the top 20% and the job security of the workaday 70%. If low-ranked
managers don't improve, they are asked to move on.
A big difference, though, is that the process is not concentrated in a
single, highly neuroticized annual ritual. GE carries on with much year-round
mentoring and bellowing and measuring, so nobody has cause to be surprised by
the score he gets. In fact, anyone who went to work there in the past 15
years would have known exactly what he was getting into.
Here's the lesson: Nobody doubts that GE's hiring and firing, whatever the
color or gender of the fodder, is all about business. It takes time to build
a reputation for heartlessly focusing on the bottom line, but once you do, it
can be liberating.

RUSSIA: INTERVIEW-Russian Tyumen Oil says foreign ties to grow.
By Sujata Rao

07/18/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.

MOSCOW, July 17 (Reuters) - Russia's Tyumen Oil Company said on Wednesday it
planned huge expansion of its upstream and downstream profile through
ventures with foreign oil majors. Company President Simon Kukes told Reuters
in an interview that Tyumen - Russia's fourth-largest oil producer with
output of 800,000 barrels per day (bpd) - would also seek a New York Stock
Exchange listing in 2002 after market conditions improved.
"We aim to be a multi-national company and the first step is in Ukraine,
where we will within a year be the number one retailer of oil products," he
said.
Kukes said Tyumen was also interested in Eastern Europe and in talks on
projects that a included a stake in Lithuania's Mazeikiu refinery , but he
declined to elaborate.
"Eastern Europe has logistical advantages for Russian firms. We can bring in
oil easily and get a significant market share. I also see a role for us in
China, India and the Middle East." He said Tyumen, controlled by Russia's
Alfa conglomerate, saw foreign oil majors' involvement as a key to its
growth.
"We would welcome a strategic partner to take a stake in the firm and, in
fact, we are now in talks with several foreign partners, including Texaco ,"
Kukes said.
He added earlier talks with Phillips had had no result.
Tyumen is involved in the $11 billion Kovykta project with BP and several
Russian firms to produce and ship gas to China, as well as in Transneft's
Adria pipeline project to link outlets for Russian crude in north and south
Europe.
In August Tyumen will take a key downstream step.
With Texaco in Moscow it will open Russia's first Star Mart convenience store
in a partnership expanding its 800-strong filling network by combining them
with the U.S. Star Mart brand.
Earlier this year the firms inked a deal to jointly produce lubricants at
Tyumen's LINOS refinery in Ukraine. Kukes said total investments in 2001 are
planned at $800 million, with another $1 billion earmarked for each of the
coming years.
Tyumen also got a boost by being rated the World's Best Oil Company in 2000
by Financial Times Energy for "phenomenal growth in the past year, breaking
into the world's top 15 oil firms."
"By year end, we could jump from fourth to third place among Russian oil
producers," said the U.S.-educated Kukes, who is part of Tyumen's efforts to
boost its profile internationally.
VERTICALLY INTEGRATED
Tyumen is now eyeing natural gas, angling to up its Kovykta stake and in
Rospan, with 600 billion cubic metres in reserves.
Kukes sees gas as part of a strategy to develop Tyumen on the lines of Enron
- producing crude, gas and power.
"Gas is an essential component of a vertically-integrated oil company and in
the way we see ourselves in future," Kukes said. "We aim that in five years,
10-15 percent of our revenues will come from gas and condensate."
But aggressive expansion has brought Tyumen into conflict with competitors.
It has locked horns with arch-rival Interros to wrest control over a stake in
Kovykta, and its role in oil firm Sidanco - where BP owns 10 percent - has
been criticised.
"We'd like to get at least 25 percent in Kovykta," Kukes said, noting Tyumen
was keen for BP, which has a 31 percent stake, to remain project leader.
Tyumen also angered influential gas trader Itera by trying to obtain control
over its bankrupt gas producer, Rospan.
"Rospan is a profitable firm but for some reason was losing money," Kukes
said, adding Tyumen would turn the company around.

COMMODITIES & AGRICULTURE - Enron Metals to pay fine to LME.
By ADRIENNE ROBERTS.

07/18/2001
Financial Times
(c) 2001 Financial Times Limited . All Rights Reserved

Enron Metals Limited - formerly MG - has agreed to pay a #190,000 fine to the
London Metal Exchange after EML's systems and procedures for ensuring
compliance with the exchange's rules were found to be "seriously inadequate".
With the exception of hefty fines imposed after the Sumitomo copper scandal,
this is the largest sum an LME member has yet paid. Fines for procedural
shortcomings over the past four years have been between #20,000 and #90,000.
EML is charged with "persistently" failing to ensure warrants needed to
settle exchange contracts reached the London Clearing House by the required
time. This happened between August 1999 and February this year.
The LME said EML's actions had jeopardised confidence in the exchange's
delivery mechanism, a key aspect of its business.
The exchange also found that between May 2000 and February 2001 EML
repeatedly failed to enter trades into the exchange's matching system
correctly.
In both cases "EML frequently provided explanations that were either
inadequate to explain the particular incident, or inadequate to explain the
persistence of that type of incident", said the LME.
Enron Metals, formed after Enron's purchase of UK metals trader MG last June,
said the disciplinary charges related to "operating procedures during a
period prior to, and the first months immediately following, Enron's
acquisition of MG".
The company added that Enron had now "implemented a series of measures to
tighten up existing procedures and ensure that the operating systems meet
with Enron's high standards".

City - Exchange fines Enron metals group #190,000.

The Daily Telegraph

(c) Telegraph Group Limited, London, 2001

THE London Metal Exchange (LME) has fined Enron Metals #190,000 for breaching
its compliance regulations.
The exchange said Enron Metals, a subsidiary of the American-owned energy
giant, failed to meet deadlines for delivering warrants needed to settle its
metals exchange contracts.
Warrants denote the ownership of LME-registered metal stored in warehouses.
The group also failed to input trades into the LME's system, the exchange
said.
Enron stated that the charges related to its recently-acquired MG metals
trading division before and immediately after the purchase. The group has
since "tightened up existing procedures", it said.

Exxon Mobil, U.A.E. Min Discuss Dolphin Gas Proj - Report

07/18/2001
Dow Jones Energy Service
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)

DUBAI -(Dow Jones)- Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) is interested in participating in
the $4 billion Dolphin Gas project, a plan between the UAE Offsets Group and
Qatar Petroleum to transport natural gas from Qatar to Abu Dhabi and Dubai,
the official Emirates News Agency, or WAM, reported Wednesday.
An Exxon Mobil official and the U.A.E.'s Foreign Minister, Sheikh Hamdan bin
Zayed al-Nahyan, discussed the issue Wednesday, WAM said.
The Dolphin project aims to transport two billion cubic feet a day of natural
gas from Qatar's offshore North Field to the U.A.E.
In May, Enron Corp. (ENE) sold its 24.5% stake in Dolphin back to Offsets,
freeing up its share for another potential strategic partner. Enron's role
would have been to focus on the midstream part of the project, or gas
transportation, which requires building a 350-kilometer pipeline from a
processing plant in Ras Laffan, Qatar, to the Taweelah terminal in Abu Dhabi
and Jebel Ali terminal in Dubai.
TotalFinaElf SA (TOT) is Offsets' other strategic partner, holding a 24.5%
stake in the project. The company will operate the upstream phase of the
project, which includes developing natural gas reserves in two blocks of the
North Field.
The first wells are scheduled to be drilled in the second half of 2001 and
come onstream in 2004.
Since Enron's withdrawal, Offsets has said it is talking to a handful of
international oil companies about potential participation.
Qatar Petroleum and Dolphin signed an initial agreement for the upstream
section of the project in March. A full production sharing agreement is due
to be signed in September.
In the short term, it is expected the gas will be supplied to Dolphin by
Mobil Oil Qatar's Enhanced Gas Utilization Project at the North Field.

Bush switch on conservation saves credibility
David Greising

07/18/2001
Chicago Tribune
North Sports Final ; N
1
(Copyright 2001 by the Chicago Tribune)

Too bad we can't all be vice president. If we could, this whole "energy
crisis" thing would be no big deal.
We could send our heating bill to the Navy as Dick Cheney has. Who knows,
maybe we could fuel up our cars and let the Energy Department pay the bill.
Cheney is making quite a shift from the advice he offered to consumers just a
few weeks ago. "If you want to leave all the lights on in your house, you
can," he counseled. "There's no law against it. But you will pay for it."
Or, in Cheney's case, the Navy may pay for it. After all, it owns his house.
The Vice President decided to dun the Navy on the very day administration
officials spread out to promote conservation as a key part of President
Bush's energy plan.
My, how the scene has changed. In mid-May President Bush unveiled a
Cheney-authored energy plan that promoted drilling and nuking and mining but
overlooked conserving. That's when the vice president dismissed conservation
as a "personal virtue" but no energy policy.
The 170-page Bush policy did speak ominously of a growing "energy crisis."
At the time, gasoline seemed headed to $3 a gallon. Rolling blackouts
interrupted California's power. Winter natural gas prices had spiked.
Bush seemed confident he could push his energy policy through a House and
Senate dominated by Republicans.
Today, with gasoline prices down around $1.35 a gallon and the Senate under
Democratic control, Bush will have to give up on pet dreams like drilling for
liquid gold in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Conservation is all the talk--even from administration officials who can't
talk.
A laryngitis-stricken Cheney on Monday turned to wife Lynne to declare,
"Conservation is a must."
On Monday, the Energy Department declared that federal agencies since 1980
have cut their energy consumption in buildings by 30 percent.
So the world has completely changed, right?
Conservation now will become a centerpiece of the Bush energy policy. The
caribou and moose and grizzlies in Alaska can sleep easy knowing their
pristine habitat will be forever free and clear.
Isn't it obvious that President Bush's supporters at Enron and Texaco and
other oil giants should get into a more promising line of business?
And maybe the alternative-energy researchers at Argonne National Laboratory
can stop studying super-conductivity and new-age fuel cells. Energy Secretary
Spencer Abraham told them Monday that consumer conservation can cut the
energy deficit by 60 percent over the next 20 years.
Perhaps it's time to turn that big super-conducting super collider into the
world's largest Roller Derby track.
Well, maybe not.
The easing of the trumped up "energy crisis" is good news. And not just
because it won't cost nearly as much to drive to the Dells for summer
vacation.
It's good because it seems likely to bring some balance into whatever energy
policy ultimately emerges from Congress sometime later this year.
The Bush plan hasn't changed. There still are only a tiny $10 billion of
conservation measures--half of them already in place--in the gargantuan
energy program.
But the political and market realities have changed. Energy costs are down.
And conservation suddenly seems likely to get a fair hearing in Congress and
at the White House.
Perhaps most important, the free market has shown an ability to respond to a
so-called "crisis" in energy. This reduces the political pressure for a quick
and ill-advised political fix.
A sudden jump in electric-plant construction means supply should grow twice
as fast as demand over the next several years, according to the North
American Electric Reliability Council. More than 1,000 natural gas wells are
in production, double the number during early 2000.
Gas prices are lower than had been expected because OPEC has stopped cutting
production and oil giants jumped at the first sight of high prices, and
production is jumping.
We can't all turn to the Navy to bail us out of high energy prices. But in a
fix, the free market does nearly as well.

COMPANIES & FINANCE INTERNATIONAL - Energy trading unit fuels 27% leap in
Duke earnings.
By JULIE EARLE.

07/18/2001
Financial Times
(c) 2001 Financial Times Limited . All Rights Reserved

Duke Energy, the US energy company, yesterday posted a 27 per cent leap in
second quarter earnings, underpinned by strong growth at its North American
natural gas and electricity trading business.
Duke, a large utility owner in the US, said after the market closed that it
earned $419m, or 53 cents a share, compared with $329m, or 44 cents a share,
in the year-ago quarter.
Revenues for the quarter increased 43 per cent to $15.6bn, from $10.9bn a
year earlier.
The result met Wall Street estimates of 49 to 58 cents a share. The
Charlotte-based company is one of several in the US accused of manipulating
electricity prices in California, along with its competitors Reliant Energy,
Dynergy, Williams and Enron.
California's grid managers have accused wholesalers of overcharging the state
by more than $6bn since last May - allegations the companies have denied.
Last night, a Duke Energy spokesman said that California remained a small
piece of the company's whole.
He said the result was driven by strong growth in its North American energy
trading segment, which reported earnings before interest and tax of $251m, a
128 per cent increase on the year-ago quarter.
The unit's growth was fuelled by big expansion in its wholesale energy asset
portfolio, which now has more than 12,600MW of merchant power generation in
operation or under construction, compared with about 8,400MW net a year ago.
Duke also has a large electric utilities operation in California.
The company's shares closed 38 cents higher at $42.03 in New York.

Letters to the Editor: India, Pakistan and the U.S.

07/18/2001
The Wall Street Journal
A19
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)

Mr. Varadarajan basically asks America to abandon its traditional link to
Pakistan in favor of India. He overlooks some critical facts. First, it is
unclear whether India even wants to be closer to the U.S. Throughout the Cold
War, India was uncomfortably close to the Soviet Union in diplomatic circles,
whereas Pakistan was a reliable U.S. ally; it was vitally important in
espionage efforts against the Soviets (Francis Gary Powers departed from
Pakistan in his ill-fated U-2 and the U.S. conducted major operations there
in the 1980s) and in offsetting pro-Soviet influence in the region.
Smearing Pakistan and it current military president with Islamic
fundamentalism is disingenuous, since the nation is practically secular when
compared to its neighbors in Iran and Afghanistan. Indeed the deposed
president's paeans to fundamentalism in response to domestic problems were
one impetus for the military takeover in the first place.
Despite talk of reform, India's economy is still generally hostile to foreign
investment. The most notable business project of the 1990s, Enron's massive
power facility in Dhabol, has been mired in bureaucracy and contract
reneging.
The question of Kashmir is a difficult one, but it is important to keep in
mind that India has imposed undemocratic rule on a heavily Islamic region.
Pakistan is still strategically important and is perhaps America's best
friend in central Asia. It would be laudable for America to have good ties
with India, but not at the expense of having to turn our back on an ally.

London exchange fines Enron $264,000
The London Metal Exchange said it fined Enron Corp. $264,000 for "seriously
inadequate" compliance with trading rules that threatened to undermine
confidence in the largest metals market.
Houston-based Enron violated exchange rules over an 18-month period through
late delivery of warrants, documents that confirm the completion of a metals
sale, the exchange said in a statement. Enron failed to rectify its
procedures despite repeated warnings, the exchange said.
Enron's failures to comply "were repeatedly brought to the attention" of the
company between last May and February of this year, exchange officials said.
Enron admitted rules breaches in a statement, but said the violations stemmed
from its acquisition last May of MG, the world's largest copper-trading
company, for $445 million, which expanded the natural gas and electricity
trader's metals business.

		 Subject: Davis favors tiered rate increases but still clings to "no new rate
increases"

Power Hogs May Get Hit In Pocketbook
Davis favors tiered rate increases

Gov. Gray Davis, faced with the near inevitability of raising consumers'
electricity bills, is leaning toward a rate system whereby those who use more
power pay more than those who conserve, The Chronicle has learned.
Sources close to the governor said he is being lobbied by his own staff
members to accept a so-called structured rate system.
Top officials from his own administration told lawmakers Friday that the
state may end up spending more than twice the $10 billion previously
estimated to purchase power on behalf of California's near-bankrupt
utilities.
If so, the officials warned that consumers' electricity rates could double.
In the case of Pacific Gas and Electric Co., this would mean customers'
average monthly power bills would rise from $60 to $120.
Consumers throughout the Bay Area believe that at least some increase is on
the way.
"We're going to have to bite the bullet and pay the money," said Larry
Webster, a retired Caltrans worker in Redwood City. "We might as well admit
that electricity is no longer a nickel. It's a dime. If you're going to use
it,
let's pay for it."
Steve Maviglio, a spokesman for the governor, distanced himself yesterday
from estimates that rates would double. The figures reported in the press, he
said, "were wildly high."
"The governor still believes he can live within the existing rate structure,
" Maviglio said. "Until we know the results of the negotiations with the
utilities, you can't conclude anything."
The state is negotiating a multibillion-dollar bailout package with PG&E and
Southern California Edison Co. to relieve the utilities of about $13 billion
in debt.
PG&E and Edison have been saying for months that there is no way California
can overcome its current energy woes without higher rates. The irony of the
Davis administration now saying the same thing was not lost on the two
companies.
"The state is in the exact same position the utilities were in last fall,"
said John Nelson, a PG&E spokesman. "Either wholesale prices need to come
down or retail prices need to go up. The disparity is too large."
Statewide blackouts last week drove home the precariousness of California's
energy situation to ratepayers -- and may have served as a blessing in
disguise for the governor.
COST VS. OUTAGES
If given a choice between further outages and paying higher rates, many
consumers said they would accept increases in their power bills.
"I don't like either choice," said Janet Leroux, facing the possibility of a
gooey mess if the air conditioning goes out at her downtown San Francisco
candy store. "But I guess I'd go with higher rates. I sure didn't like the
blackouts."
Publicly, the governor has been insisting for weeks that rates will stay
within "the existing rate structure" -- a stealthy way of saying that
January's 9 percent increase and an expected 10 percent increase next year
will remain in place.
But privately, he and his staff are discussing additional rate increases that
could be spread over as long as 10 years, sources said.
Utility executives and power generators told The Chronicle last week that a
minimum 30 percent rate increase lasting up to a decade is in the cards.
"For the good of California, it's inevitable," said Gary Ackerman, executive
director of the Western Power Trading Forum, a Menlo Park energy industry
association.
Sacramento resident John Hax observed that when temperatures soar in the
Central Valley this summer, he'd be more than willing to pay a higher price
for power if this keeps the air conditioners on.
"It's like gasoline," he said. "I don't like paying higher prices for
gasoline, but that's the price of doing business."
Ratepayers draw the line, though, at any increase topping 10 or 20 percent.
"If it was 20 percent, I'd probably do it," said Tracy resident Mark
Dougherty. "But if it was more, like 50 percent, I'd rather go with rolling
blackouts."
"I'd rather have blackouts," agreed Jenny Soghomonian, owner of a shoe-
repair shop in San Francisco's Financial District. "I don't want to pay rates
that are so much higher."
NOT EVERY COST PALATABLE
This is the tightrope that state officials and industry players now find
themselves walking: While consumers may be willing to pay more to avoid
blackouts, they aren't willing to swallow virtually any cost thrown their
way.
Yet if rates are not high enough, they may not prevent daily blackout threats
this summer and beyond.
"Higher rates are the price signal that it takes for conservation," said Tom
Higgins, senior vice president of Edison International, parent company of
Southern California Edison.
Simply put, he meant that most consumers will not aggressively conserve
power, and thus alleviate shortages, unless there is a financial incentive to
do so.
Rebates proposed by the governor have met with only a lukewarm response,
requiring, critics say, too much effort on the part of individual ratepayers.
But a sudden spike in monthly power bills almost certainly would prompt
widespread conservation measures.
"It adjusts consumer behavior," Higgins said. "People want to get their bills
back down."
RATES' EFFECT ON USAGE
He and other industry sources said higher rates are perhaps the only way
Californians will achieve the 10 percent conservation goal sought by the
governor -- a move seen as vital if blackouts are to be avoided this summer.
"It's intellectually dishonest to think there's any other way out of this,"
Higgins said.
Consumer activists' initial reaction to any talk of a rate increase comes
across loud and clear: No, no, no.
"No bailout. No rate increases. No secret deals," said Harvey Rosenfield,
head of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights in Santa Monica. "We
need to get back to a regulated system."
Rosenfield is the biggest fly in the governor's ointment. He has threatened
to push through a ballot initiative re-regulating California's power market
if Davis cannot find a consumer-friendly way out of the current fix.
Because of Rosenfield's past success in writing a ballot measure on insurance
rebates, which delivered about $800 million to consumers, his threat is taken
seriously in Sacramento.
"We've paid too much already," Rosenfield said. "A fair price is what we were
promised by deregulation, which was a 20 percent rate decrease."
However, when he was asked whether there was any room to discuss a structured
rate increase such as the idea being promoted by the governor's staff,
Rosenfield toned down his characteristic rhetoric.
"Big users should pay more," he said after a moment's reflection. "I'm open
to a tiered system but only if it's fair."
Rosenfield quickly added that he would have to see how other consumer
advocates felt about the matter before agreeing to negotiate such things with
Davis.
MOVE TOWARD STRUCTURED RATES
Clearly, though, momentum is building toward a system of structured power
rates, which probably would include increases of varying sizes for consumers.
The California Public Utilities Commission is scheduled to address January's
9 percent rate increase on Tuesday. That increase originally was given only a
three-month duration, but most observers expect it to be renewed for at least
another three months, if not longer.
PUC President Loretta Lynch declined to comment on the likelihood of rates
going up but added her voice to those backing a structured system.
"I am a fan of restructuring rates to exempt conservation," she said. "People
who use a whole lot of power should pay more."
The biggest electricity customer in the state is the state itself, now that
California is purchasing power on behalf of its cash-poor utilities. The
state already has spent about $4 billion buying electricity and has yet to
determine how the cash will be recouped from consumers.
San Francisco resident Rosita Magee accepts that for California to find its
energy footing once more, rates will probably be heading up. "That way, you
have more convenience and electricity, more stability," she said.
But Magee has come up with another solution, one that doesn't involve rate
increases and rolling blackouts.
She's moving to Texas.

Received a phone call on Thursday, December 13th approx. 9:15am from Royal Edmondson, Gas Control Manager for Reliant Entex.  He was trying to locate Victoria Versen and was eventually  transferred to me.  He wanted to make sure Enron was delivering gas to the Entex's city gates.  He asked if  Enron was currently nominating gas to Entex city gates? What about storage?   I told him currently we were not nominating all the gas however; the city gates were kept whole with the no notice storage K#2210.  He was told by Tennessee the storage was not being nominated & there was a good possibility that the city gates were not receiving their gas.  I reassured him the city gates were receiving their gas.  ENA does not nominate storage, it  was automatically done at the pipeline level due to the 2 day allocation lag.    As per his previous conversation with Vicki Versen, he has an estimate what the storage levels were &  wanted to make sure there was enough gas in the storage to cover December.  I told him he would need to speak with Vicki on that matter.  I asked him if there was a problem  that needed to be resolved & his response: Reliant is going to wait it through to see the outcome with Enron, but wanted to make sure the gas was being delivered.

After the conversation, I run the storage report for December & the gas is automatically being withdrawn.  I called Royal back  and confirmed gas was being withdrawn from storage. He asked for a copy of the storage report.  I did not discuss volume or what Enron's intention were at this time. I have not  fax him a copy of the storage report as per his request.

I did not want to alienate Royal, but at same time I did not want to provide too much information without knowing his full intentions.

Constellation to Build Major Plant in California,
First in Over a Decade

by Will McNamara
Director, Electric Industry Analysis

Constellation Energy Group (NYSE: CEG) announced that Kiewit Industrial
Company of Omaha, Neb., will begin construction in early April of the 750-MW
High Desert power plant near Victorville, Calif. The project, which has been
in development since the mid-1990s by High Desert Power Project, LLC*a
subsidiary of Constellation Energy Group of Baltimore, Md.*will be the first
new major power plant to serve the Southern California area in more than a
decade.

Analysis: The fact that California suffers from a significant supply / demand
imbalance, and that no new major power plant has been built in the state in
over a decade, has been well documented in the energy industry press.
Consequently, the fact that Constellation Energy Group is now close to
breaking ground on its new plant (having completed the laborious plant siting
requirements in California) is a major*and somewhat surprising*coup for the
company, considering that its generation expertise has primarily been in the
Northeast nuclear industry. Constellation Energy Group has said that it will
market power from the plant within California, which should prove to be a win
/ win scenario for both the company and the state.

The High Desert power plant will be built on a 25-acre site at the Southern
California Logistics Airport, formerly known as the George Air Force Base.
Commercial operation of the plant is scheduled for June 2003. The plant's
electric generating technology is based on clean-burning, natural gas-fired
combustion turbines operating in a combined-cycle mode. Part of the current
supply problem in California is the fact that hydroelectric resources, the
state's primary energy source, have been in short supply due to
lower-than-average rainfall over the last year. Moving away from a dependency
on hydroelectric supply may be a smart move for the state. In addition, the
High Desert plant is consistent with a national trend that supports natural
gas as the fuel of choice for new power plant development projects. As a
point of interest, according to data from the Energy Information
Administration, California's fuel mix is primarily based in a mixture of
natural gas (45.59 percent), hydro (21.95 percent), nuclear (18.07 percent),
coal (1.36 percent), oil (1.04 percent), and other, presumably renewable,
sources (11.98 percent).

It is rather surprising that Constellation would be the first company to
build a major power plant in California in over a decade, considering the
company's consistent geographic and fuel-mix focus. Constellation Energy
Group is a holding company that includes a group of competitive energy
businesses focused mostly on wholesale power marketing, merchant generation
and portfolio management in North America. Constellation Energy Group is the
parent company of the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE), a regulated
gas and electric delivery company serving Central Maryland. Up until this
point, Constellation's generation assets have been primarily based in a
mixture of coal and nuclear, and for the most part located in the
Northeastern United States. According to information directly from the
company itself, Constellation's own fuel mix is predominantly coal (54
percent), followed by nuclear (40 percent). Oil, gas and hydro only represent
a small percentage (6 percent) of Constellation's fuel mix.

Although coal is the primary fuel in Constellation's portfolio, over the last
year the company has become more focused on nuclear. For instance, last
December Constellation Nuclear, a wholly owned subsidiary of Constellation
Energy Group, announced its intent to purchase 100 percent of Unit 1 and 82
percent of Unit 2 of the Nine Mile Point nuclear power plant. Once the deal
is closed in mid-2001, Constellation will own a total of 1,550 MW of Nine
Mile Point's 1,757 MW of total generating capacity. The nuclear plant
purchases that Constellation is making expand upon its Calvert Cliffs asset,
an 850-MW two-unit nuclear plant in Southern Maryland. When I wrote about
this acquisition last December, I noted that, while Constellation will most
likely retain its coal-fired generation assets, the company appeared to be
moving closer toward a nuclear-based portfolio.

In addition, in early 2000 Constellation began a restructuring of its
corporate identity, dividing its operations into two separate segments: one
focused on its merchant energy business (including Constellation Nuclear) and
the other focused on regional retail energy services. The merchant energy
business was ranked fifth in the nation for sales of electric power in the
third quarter of 2000, and the company is committed to expanding this growth.
The goal for the merchant energy business, according to Constellation Energy
Group CEO Christian Poindexter, is to establish a portfolio of over 30,000 MW
of electric generation facilities by 2005. Toward that end, Constellation
acknowledged earlier that it would be taking advantage of "bargain prices for
nuclear plants," which resulted in large part from other utilities focusing
on transmission operations and thus choosing, or being mandated, to divest
their generation plants.  Constellation in the past has justified its move in
this direction by saying that its experience has found that nuclear fuel is
cheaper than coal and gas generators and that "the economics [of nuclear] are
quite robust, once they are calculated out."

However, considering that there is only a limited number of nuclear plants in
the United States that will become available for purchase, Constellation
Energy Group may have recognized the need to become even more diversified.
The California market, despite its stringent plant siting requirements,
arguably offered an appropriate market for Constellation to become more
diversified. Given the state's environmental lobbying presence, it is
doubtful that a nuclear plant could have been approved in California.
Although natural gas is not a primary fuel source for Constellation as a
company, it is the preferred source for new power plants. Therefore, the High
Desert plant, given that it will be fired by natural gas, presumably stood a
greater chance of navigating through California's plant siting requirements
(than a coal or nuclear plant could have). In fact, in the announcement of
the plant, Constellation noted that, having received all federal, state and
local approvals, the High Desert plant "will be a good neighbor in the
community with no significant environmental impacts."

The announcement of Constellation's new plant could not come at a better time
for California, of course. Although the plant won't be operational until June
2003, the state can use the good publicity now. A new report from the
Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) says that it is already too late
for the state to head off a serious summer shortage that could lead to at
least 20 hours of rolling blackouts. "It's too late for this summer,"
declared Lawrence J. Makovich, of CERA, referring to the state's desperate
efforts to ramp up power supplies for the short term. "The source of
California's far-reaching power crisis is a shortage. At least 5,000
megawatts of new generating facilities are required to restore balance to the
state's grid." Instead, according to the report, demand will exceed supply by
3,000 MW, which will cause the state to be under an energy alert of some sort
for at least 200 hours.

CERA's report came out on the heels of Calif. Gov. Gray Davis' pledge to have
5,000 MW of new generating capacity available in California by July, more
than double the amount expected just a few months ago. Davis said the new
plants would provide enough electricity to ward off blackouts this summer,
which CERA obviously disputes. Davis announced a series of orders intended to
bring online 5,000 MW by July 2001, with an additional 5,000 MW by July
2002.

In any event, as California continues to struggle from a severe supply /
demand imbalance, the announcement of Constellation's new plant appears to be
good news for all the parties involved. Gov. Davis has pledged to support an
expedited approval process for additional plants, so it will be interesting
to see which company is given approval to proceed with the next power plant
in the state. It will also be interesting to see, based on Constellation's
plant and others that may be built, whether or not the economics of building
such plants in California will prove beneficial. Other power suppliers may
opt to merely enter into long-term sales agreements with the state, rather
than invest the resources that building a power plant would require.

Subject: "The" Bullet

 It is critical to our nation's energy future  to achieve robust competition
in wholesale power markets in order to ensure that electricity can move most
effectively from where it is produced to where it is most needed. To that
end, this Administration will strongly encourage the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission( FERC)  to actively exercise jurisdiction over all
aspects of electricity transmission in interstate commerce and place all uses
of the grid under the same rates, terms, and conditions.  This jurisdiction
must also be extended by Congress to cover non-FERC jurisdictional power
authorities.


Hello Kim,

Qualifications of this position include a minimum of 5 years of sales experience and an additional minimum of 2 years experience with a trading company is preferred.  The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of U.S. Coal, Transportation and Electric Utility industries, including coal tolling, marketing and origination functions used in support of coal trading operations.  Solid experience in finding ways to capitalize on opportunities in the coal and transportation business is a must.  A background which includes Senior-level contract negotiations is required.

We are asking for recommendations from coal trading executives within the energy  industry.  Would you take a moment to consider colleagues whose experience fits DTE's profile and who you would deem as a high caliber candidate for the position.

Chris,
As we discussed, please get with Brenda Fletcher and set this up as a demand
to pay the .0153 storage fee, since the pathing does not allow me to pay
through the Volume system.  As long as it is on the deal, it will show up in
Settlements and I can pay.  Also, I need it done from January 2000 to current.

Thanks,
Mark

Attached is the latest version of the Wildhorse Entrada Letter.  Please
review.  I reviewed the letter with Jim Osborne and Ken Krisa yesterday and
should get their comments today.  My plan is to Fedex to Midland for Ken's
signature tomorrow morning and from there it will got to Wildhorse.


From: Governor's Office of Emergency Services

SACRAMENTO - The Governor's Office of Emergency Services dispatched
on an 'immediate need', four additional strike teams; totaling 20
local government engines, to the Emigrant Gap fire off Interstate 80.

 The fire is currently burning out of control, threatening structures

and has the potential of jumping
I - 80.

Of the four teams, two originate from Sacramento County, one from
Placer County, and one from Calaveras County

Throughout Northern California and Nevada, eight fires have burned an

estimated 92,000 acres so far.	In addition to the recent group of
four strike teams, OES has also deployed 79 other State OES and local

government fire engines, two state-of-the-art OES satellite
communication trailers, and numerous fire and telecommunications
staff to the Northern California fire lines.

The local and state-owned equipment has been dispatched through
California's Fire and Rescue
Mutual Aid System, administered by OES, to assist the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, U.S. Forest Service, and
local departments.  The system is designed to ensure that additional
resources are provided to local jurisdictions whenever their own
resources are committed or insufficient for a specific fire.

Among the 99 engines deployed, 20 are State-owned OES Engines.	These

engines have been provided to local departments by OES.  Under an
agreement with the state, when requested by OES, fire departments are

required to dispatch the engines, including personnel, within an hour

to the scene of an emergency or disaster in California.

When not in use during a disaster, local departments may use the
engines for mutual aid response for neighboring cities and counties,
local multiple alarm fires, temporary replacement of out-of-service
engines, for training, and for other local needs.

Dale --

I have been working with Jeff Dellapina at Chase on potential revisions to the April '99 prepay -- he has requested an amendment to the original margin agreement.  Currently, we are required to post margin under the swaps once a month.  Chase has requested a change to daily margining.  This change is being driven by our current credit issues, especially with the banks.  I have spoken with Evan Ward at APEA who is working with their lawyers on this.

I was wondering if I should work through you on this or someone in Houston (as you had worked on the original transaction).  Let me know your thoughts when you get the chance and I appreciate your help.

I spoke to Greg Johnston, one of the Canadian lawyers who is currently
seconded here, and have determined the following:

Imperial Oil Resources is an Alberta limited partnership.  All Canadian
transactions are entered into with this counterparty.

Imperial Oil Resources Limited is the General Partner of Imperial Oil
Resources.  We do not transact business with this entity.


Here is a confirm that is designed to go under our EEI agreement with El Paso.  If signed, it would entirely replace our old services consulting agreement with El Paso.

 Please read the document from a business perspective.  Do not worry too much about the legal boilerplate, of which there is plenty.  At the end of the day, the document should contain what you guys think you are doing with El Paso from a common sense perspective.  Pushing all the (very important) legal boilerplate aside:  do you see our deal in these words?? Please let me know your comments. Thanks very much ----cgy

Subject:	UT - Summer Clerks at Enron

Dear Jim:

Mr. Chike Okpara and Mr. Reginald Sewell have enthusiastically accepted our offer to work at Enron as Summer Associates/Clerks during Summer 2001.

The Term begins on or about May 14, 2001, and ends on or about August 17, 2001.  Both gentlemen indicated that they might need a few days after school ends on May 11, 2001 and begins again on August 20, 2001.  We indicated that we have some flexibility with respect to the start date and we are waiting to receive information from Mr. Okpara and Mr. Sewell with respect to the dates.

As per our initial discussions, it is my understanding that Enron would like the students to rotate through Enron Broadband Services, Enron Energy Services, and Enron Wholesale Services.  Do you want me to include Enron Global Finance, Enron Transportation Services and Enron Corp. in their rotations?

Depending upon the number of Enron entities participating in the rotations, each student will spend approximately 2-3 weeks in each business unit, if there are five business units.  In the event we only have three business units, each student will spend approximately 4 weeks in each area.

I will make sure that Mr. Okpara and Mr. Sewell receive a personal introduction to Enron via our orientation process.  Further, I will participate on a weekly basis as a mentor and liaison with each student.  In addition, should we need assignments from Corporate Legal, I will be happy to coordinate the same.

During our program, I envision their duties as follows:

	1.  Provide legal research assistance, including the preparation of legal memorandum and other documents,
	on various issues;

	2.  Attend meetings and conference calls as required by their respective assignments; and

	3.  Undertake other legal duties as required by the respective law departments.

I have also spoken to Lisa Falick, Attorney Recruitment Coordinator at Vinson & Elkins.  She will forward to me the Summer Associate/Clerk activities list upon its completion.

Please advise if you would like for me to take any additional steps.

Thank you.

Sharon

Enron Broadband Services is the latest addition to the Enron SAP rollout.
The Apollo and Beyond project team and Enron's business units are currently
preparing for the project's final implementation.  Apollo and Beyond is an
Enron initiative tasked with laying a common financial, human resources,
project management, and procurement foundation throughout the majority of
Enron's businesses.

EBS "Go-Live"

On April 1st, Enron Broadband Services supplemented their current SAP
functionality with HR Online and SAP HR, including payroll and organizational
structure management.  HR Online enables the EBS population to enter their
own time, view and update their personal information, and view their vacation
time and individual payroll information via Enron's intranet.

Additionally, this implementation enhanced the SAP Financial, Project and
Procurement processes that EBS has had in operation since April 1, 1999.
These enhancements included an EBS pilot of B2B, a web-based requisitioning
tool. Among the benefits of these enhancements will be improved information
flow across business units currently on SAP.

July 1 "Go-Live"

This final Apollo and Beyond implementation will directly impact more than
15,000 Enron employees and contractors -- odds are that you are one of them!
People impacted on July 1st include:

all Enron employees paid out of Corporate Payroll in Houston, excluding
Azurix employees
the financial communities of Enron Energy Services, Enron Investment
Partners, Enron North America, Enron Renewable Energy Corporation, Gas
Pipeline Group, Global Finance, and Global Products.
the project management communities of Enron North America, Gas Pipeline
Group, Global Asset Operations, Global Finance, and Global Products.
