Company policy (and corporate organizational documents) dictates that ALL
contracts may only be executed by an officer at the Vice President level or
above.  I checked the Corporate Secretary's Records and they indicate that
neither Beth Perlman nor Richard Burchfield meet such requirements for Enron
Net Works.  Mark Greenberg directed me to get the agreement executed by
Phillippe Bibi.  Other officers we frequently get Networks agreements
executed by are David Berberian, Managing Director, Greg Piper, Managing
Director and Chief Operating Officer, Rex Shelby, Managing Director, or Andy
Zipper, Vice President.  If it relates to Commodity Logic, we can go to Tom
Gros, Vice President.  Feel free to approach any of this slate of officers to
get your documents executed.

Hi, Tana.  I,d prefer to work this at a lower level if possible.  Could we
get either Richard Burchfield or Beth Perlman to sign the MOU?

Corinna -

I have looked at the attached.  It is fine.  I will be printing two originals
for Net Works' signature.  I'll have them sent down for signature so that
they can then be sent to Microsoft.

JDP MOU

Mark,

Can you please review the changes made by Susan Chang at Microsoft to the SQL
2000 SP1 JDP MOU for our Unify application.  Bob Ward is out of the office
until June 4th, and this application is going into production on June 11th.
We need to ensure the MOU is finalized and signed prior to going into
production so that we can receive the appropriate support from Microsoft when
we go live.

If you need to contact Susan her telephone number is 425-703-6394.  Her email
is schang@microsoft.com.

Thanks for your immediate attention to this matter,
Corinna Bolender
Desk: 713-345-4388
Cell:   512-632-4285

Bob and Corinna,
Here are the versions of the MOU your lawyer will need to review.  As
expected, some of the items just did not make the bar to warrant a
change.  Specifically:
an actual date for the released product will not go on the MOU.
Customers who particpate in the JDP have a high degree of touch and
disclosure with MS.  Although we are glad to discuss dates and they draw
near with the customer we do not promise anything from the beginning
(though this hardly matters now considering the date).
The line in #4 that was cut and pasted to #17 has been placed back in
#4.  This is due to the placement of the topic in #4.  The rest of #17,
specifically stating that there is NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER has been left
in on #17, and I'll probably incorporate this for future use.  It is a
good addition.
#10 on Microsoft's section has been removed.  It is clearly rednundant
and not necessary.  We already say there is absolutely no cost to the
customer.

If this is agreeable (I have included the red lined version, so your
lawyers can review), the final version with those changes have also been
included.  Please print, sign and return.

Thanks!
JamMo!

Susan,
I would like to permanently modify our MOU to the following for our
Joint Development Programs.  It is redlined, so you can review the exact
changes.  This is actually from the customer, but I like what they
changed and added, I just want to be certain that it's not going to come
back and bite me later.  Roughly 4 or 5 sentenced.
Thanks for you help!

Latest NFL Player News

Matt Hasselbeck <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=12429&>, QB SEA - Bass/Hull Updated 12/26/01
Trent Dilfer will start this week in place of Hasselbeck, whose separated left shoulder is too sore for him to play. Coach Mike Holmgren said Wednesday that Hasselbeck aggravated the injury, which he's had since the third week of the season, against the New York Giants last Sunday. "There's a chance I might have him and he could play in an emergency-type situation, but he's pretty sore," Holmgren said.

James Stewart <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1116&>, RB DET - Hunter Updated 12/26/01
Stewart is day to day with a sprained ankle. His status for this week's game is unclear.

Jeff Graham <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1264&>, WR SD - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Graham may miss his second consecutive game this week because of the death of his father. With Tim Dwight (lung) still ailing, Trevor Gaylor may have to start again.

Skip Hicks <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=12436&>, RB TEN - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Hicks is expected to miss this week's game with a hamstring injury, and may miss the rest of the season. Eddie George should assume a regular workload once again.

Emmitt Smith <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1094&>, RB DAL - Bass/Hull Updated 12/26/01
Smith is day to day with a hip injury. He is expected to play this week.

Peter Warrick <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=187401&>, WR CIN - Giggles Updated 12/26/01
Warrick, who was benched late in last week's game, is expected to start. He has been a disappointment this year and Fantasy players should not use him at this point of the postseason.

Todd Bouman <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1871&>, QB MIN - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Bouman (thumb) may attempt to practice late in the week. His status remains unclear for this week's game, and Spergon Wynn is available to start if needed.

Wesley Walls <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1321&>, TE CAR - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Walls is day to day with a knee injury. He should be able to play this week.

Muhsin Muhammad <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1203&> , WR CAR - Martin Updated 12/26/01
Muhammad is still battling a turf toe injury. His status for Week 16 is still unclear.

Larry Parker <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=133384&>, WR KC - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Parker's season is over. He will undergo surgery on his shoulder and the Chiefs are expected to place him on injured reserve.

Oronde Gadsden <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1612&>, WR MIA - Matty Updated 12/26/01
Gadsden (hamstring) might miss his second consecutive game this week. Chris Chambers may start in his place again.

Fred Taylor <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=12753&>, RB JAC - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Taylor (groin) has returned to practices and is working with the scout team. He might appear in the team's final game, and is a longshot to play this week. He has missed too much playing time to warrant serious Fantasy consideration at this point of the playoffs.

Rod Smith <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1220&>, WR DEN - Matty Updated 12/26/01
Smith (ankles) has returned to practice. He is expected to play this week.

Raghib Ismail <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1201&>, WR DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Ismail is recovering from a mild concussion. He is expected to play this week.

Joey Galloway <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1286&>, WR DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Galloway is day to day with a hip injury. He is expected to play this week.

Bert Emanuel <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1186&> , WR DET - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Emanuel is day to day with an ankle injury. His status for the upcoming week is unclear right now.

James McKnight <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1288&>, WR MIA - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
McKnight is day to day with an ankle injury. He is expected to play this week.

Mark Brunell <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1032&>, QB JAC - JWillie Updated 12/26/01
Brunell is day to day with a quadriceps injury. He is expected to play this week.

Mike McMahon <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=235119&>, QB DET - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
McMahon may miss some practice time this week with a foot injury. His status for this week's game is unclear right now, and Ty Detmer will start in his place if he can't play.

Jason Brookins <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=192266&>, RB BAL - Tori Updated 12/26/01
Brookins may be able to return for Baltimore's final game. For now, Terry Allen and Moe Williams will continue to split carries.

Jerome Bettis <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1152&>, RB PIT - Giggles Updated 12/25/01
Bettis is listed as questionable for Week 16. However, he may be able to return to the Steelers' starting lineup. Bill Cowher said Bettis is progressing, and he will be used this week if healthy.

James Stewart <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1116&>, RB DET - Hunter Updated 12/23/01
Stewart suffered a sprained ankle early in Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. He was replaced by Lamont Warren in the first quarter, and Stewart did not return.

Cameron Cleeland <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=12277&>, TE NO - Free Agent Updated 12/23/01
Cleeland injured his Achilles tendon on Sunday. He is not expected to play again this season.

Ahman Green <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=12404&>, RB GB - Hunter Updated 12/23/01
Green left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with labored breathing. He was replaced by Dorsey Levens.

Todd Bouman <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1871&>, QB MIN - Free Agent Updated 12/23/01
Bouman was able to start Sunday's game, but he re-injured his thumb in the first quarter and was replaced by Spergon Wynn.

Wesley Walls <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1321&>, TE CAR - Free Agent Updated 12/23/01
Walls was able to play in Sunday's game despite an ankle injury, but he left the game before halftime after spraining his left knee.

Martin Gramatica <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=133297&>, K TB - Free Agent Updated 12/23/01
Gramatica injured his hamstring in the fourth quarter on Sunday. The Buccaneers may sign a free agent kicker to replace him in Week 16.

Todd Bouman <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1871&>, QB MIN - Free Agent Updated 12/23/01
Bouman is now listed as probable for Sunday's game. He should be able to start against the Jaguars, but he may play with some pain in his thumb.

Jeff Graham <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1264&>, WR SD - Free Agent Updated 12/23/01
Graham probably won't play Sunday at Kansas City because of the death of his father in a car accident, coach Mike Riley said Friday. If Graham doesn't play, Trevor Gaylor will start in his place and Nate Turner will be signed off the practice squad. The Chargers are already missing their No. 3 receiver, Tim Dwight, due to complications of a collapsed lung.

Antowain Smith <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=players&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1663&>, RB NE - JWillie Updated 12/23/01
Smith rushed for a career-high 156 yards and a touchdown Saturday. He has been one of the best runners in the AFC and will help carry your team to Fantasy glory.

Frank Player News

Jake Plummer <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1003&>, Reserve QB Updated 12/21/01
Plummer has played well this season. He should be an adequate QB during the Fantasy playoffs.

Brett Favre <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1028&>, Active QB Updated 12/21/01
Favre has been one of the best QBs this season. Count on him to help lead your team to Fantasy glory.

Jimmy Smith <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1236&>, Active WR Updated 12/21/01
Smith has been one of the best receivers in the AFC this season, despite his offseason injury. The veteran is a must-start for your Fantasy playoff run.

Isaac Bruce <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1294&>, Active WR Updated 12/21/01
Bruce (foot) missed Thursday's practice. He is listed as probable for this week.

Bill Schroeder <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1593&>, Active WR Updated 12/21/01
Schroeder has had a solid season. Look for him to be a reliable No. 2 wideout during your postseason.

Corey Dillon <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1681&>, Active RB Updated 12/21/01
Dillon missed practice Thursday because of a finger injury but The Cincinnati Post reports that he is expected to play Sunday. Even if healthy, Dillon is a risky start this week against a tough Baltimore run defense. Consider benching him if you have a backup of equal value.

James Thrash <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1859&>, Reserve WR Updated 12/21/01
Thrash was not very consistent during the regular season and may not catch a lot of TD passes in the final games of the NFL regular season. He will be a No. 2 wideout at best during the Fantasy playoffs.

Maurice Smith <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=188183&>, Reserve RB Updated 12/21/01
A banged-up Smith hasn't done much statistically in recent weeks. Don't depend on him during the Fantasy playoffs.

Garrison Hearst <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1164&>, Active RB Updated 12/16/01
Hearst rushed for 103 yards on 26 carries against Miami on Sunday. He was held out of the end zone, but Hearst is still a good enough player to start during the Fantasy playoffs.

Terance Mathis <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1189&>, Reserve WR Updated 12/07/01
Mathis continues to do nothing this season for Fantasy owners. Unless you're in a deeper league, holding onto the veteran wide receiver isn't advisable.

Olandis Gary <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=133291&>, Reserve RB Updated 11/26/01
The Broncos placed Gary on injured reserve Monday, and signed Karon Coleman to the active roster. This officially ends Gary's season, as he suffered a broken leg on Thursday. Drop him from your roster.

Titans <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=29&>, Active DT Updated 11/06/01
Linebacker Randall Godfrey suffered torn cartilage in his left knee during Sunday's win over Jacksonville. He'll undergo arthroscopic surgery on Tuesday and will be listed as questionable for Monday's game against Baltimore.

Levens (back) is probable for Sunday's game against Baltimore. He's got no real value as a Fantasy player at this point.

David Akers <http://football299.fantasy.sportsline.com/mp/elink?script=/mp/player-news&league=bige01&owner=14696.2&random=3696&key=1666&>, Active K Updated 12/11/00
Akers was 5-of-5 in PATs on Sunday, but didn't get an opportunity to kick a field goal against the Browns. Akers has been a real Fantasy sleeper this season, but won't do owners much good next week as the Eagles take their bye week during some league's Fantasy championship game.

Kay - Thanks for your attention and assistance in this matter.

Several  gas producers are flowing gas through Dominion Transmission pipeline to Enron's pool.  They have terminated their contracts with Enron, or have sent documents to us to terminate their contracts with Enron. They are calling now requesting letters confirming termination of their contracts and/or letters releasing their gas on Dominion Transmission's pipe from Enron's pool in order to satisfy Dominion Transmission's requirement for proof of termination and/or release of gas back to the producers.  Dominion Transmission is holding these producers' gas and is not letting the producers sell their gas to other buyers.

I have been trying for the last three weeks to discover the route these requests need to pass through in order to get the aforementioned termination and release notices. I have met with little success and fewer answers. Prior to my being involved, Nelson Ferries had forwarded a few requests through Contracts and Legal and had Fred Lagrasta sign off on them.  I also talked to several people last week in Contracts and Legal asking for help, but a process does not seem to be in place.

Please advise as to how quickly we can act on these requests.  Producers are fearful of not being able to sell their January 2002 gas (ie. not getting paid) and are facing severe financial hardships.  Please advise as to what I can provide or help out with this process.

A list of producers is provided below.  I am sure more producers will call.

Thanks  WRP

		Buzzsaw.com Lays Off 30%, to Close on $20M Third Round
		 mail? top

		 SAN FRANCISCO (VENTUREWIRE) -- Buzzsaw.com, a business-to-business
e-commerce marketplace for the building design and construction industry,
laid off 70 employees, or 30% of the company's staff, said chairman,
president, and CEO Carl Bass. The layoffs, which were across the board, were
"highly recommended" by the company's investors in order to lower
Buzzsaw.com's burn rate. Some senior executives, including CFO Paul Farmer,
were laid off. About 170 employees now remain at Buzzsaw.com. The company
expects to close a $20 million round in the next few weeks.  Mr. Bass
declined to name investors, but noted that existing investors are
participating and that a lead investor has been secured. Buzzsaw.com, which
has raised $90 million to date, garnered a post-money valuation of over $300
million in its $75 million second round last April. Due to market conditions,
Mr. Bass expects the upcoming financing, which is expected to carry the
company to profitability, to be a down round. Acquisition by anoth! er
company is always a choice, he said, but Buzzsaw.com is not actively looking
for such a deal. The company had revenues of over $5 million in 2000, and
expects revenues to double this year, becoming cash-flow positive in
mid-2002. Buzzsaw.com will also focus its business on printing transactions
and document sharing services. Autodesk, Bank of America, Crosspoint Venture
Partners, Impact Ventures, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Private Equity, and
Real Estate Private Equity Groups have invested in Buzzsaw.com.

		Entertainment Site UGO Networks Acquires Rival Bla-Bla.com
		 mail? top

		 NEW YORK (VENTUREWIRE) -- Bla-Bla.com, an online portal for independent
content, said that it has been acquired by rival UGO (UnderGround Online)
Networks, for an undisclosed amount. Bla-Bla.com's CEO Michael O'Hara said
that the two companies had been "brainstorming" for nearly five months. Over
the past six months, both UGO and Bla-Bla.com have each announced layoffs of
about 30% of their staff, with UGO eliminating 40 people and Bla-Bla.com
cutting 16 people. UGO is expected to "pick and choose" from the remaining
employees at Bla-Bla.com to decide whom it wants to keep. Mr. O'Hara said
that he would not be involved with the combined company and is moving on to
other business opportunities. UGO has raised a total of $82 million in
funding and expects to break even within one year. The company is backed by
GRP, Gryphon Holdings III, J. & W. Seligman, and Vivendi, as well as J.P.
Morgan Chase & Co. Entertainment Group, Liberty Digital, and LiveWire.
Bla-Bla.com, which raised $7.65 millio! n in seed funding in September 2000
and an undisclosed amount two months later, is funded by Hudson Venture
Partners, Liberty View Equity Partners, SBIC, Silicon Alley Venture Partners,
Stonehenge Capital, and Youngtree Partners. As part of the overall
transaction, some of Bla-Bla.com's investors, including Liberty View and
Hudson Partners, will invest an undisclosed amount in UGO Networks.

		EYP Mission Gets $57.5M Round One to Spin Off from Einhorn

		 BOSTON (VENTUREWIRE) -- TA Associates, a private equity firm, said it led a
$57.5 million first round for EYP Mission Critical Facilities, which provides
consulting, design, facilities operations management, and information
technology services to financial, telecommunications, and computer/Internet
corporate clients. Some of the investment was used to spin off EYP from its
parent company, Einhorn Yaffee Prescott Architecture & Engineering, as well
as to provide the company with growth capital. The funding also included a
minority investment from Heller Financial, TA principal Michael Wilson said.
Mr. Wilson also said that the company is planning a number of acquisitions,
the first of which will close in two months. Mr. Wilson, along with Roger
Kafka of TA, will take a seat on EYP's board of directors. TA Associates
manages over $5 billion and has invested in over 330 companies to date.

		Flatiron Moves in with J.P. Morgan Chase to Cool Burn Rate

		 NEW YORK (VENTUREWIRE) -- Flatiron Partners, a venture capital firm, said it
would vacate its Silicon Alley offices in order to save millions on rent. The
firm will move to the offices of its only limited partner J.P. Morgan Chase &
Co. Flatiron said that there would be no other changes in the firm's
financial structure. Last month Flatiron, which participated in more than 40
deals last year, said it may be raising its own fund. The firm still has
about $230 million of the more than $500 million committed last year by Chase
Capital Partners, which merged to form JP Morgan Partners in January. Two of
Flatiron's portfolio companies, Kozmo.com, which operated a one-hour delivery
service, and online new media company Urban Box Office Network, have closed
down. Flatiron recently said it is focused on securing follow-on financing
for its 35 portfolio companies.

David-

I got the email you forwarded to me.  Have you responded to Suzanne
Sugarbaker yet?  I would be happy(?) to talk with her, so please feel free to
forward my email address to her.  If I don't hear back from you today, I will
probably email Suzanne directly this weekend.  Maybe I can clarify a few
issues with her.  As for Cindy Colvin's "presentation," I've spoken with
Richard Rothfelder on how we might handle future situations like this.  In
the meantime, I'm taking extra vitamins to thicken my skin.

Let me know what responses you receive today on the RFP.  I know we will need
to schedule a committee meeting in the next week or so.

Thanks,

Susan

P.S.-
Please email me back today at our home email address :
pereira@houston.rr.com.  I'm leaving early for a doctor appt.
