I've got a few too many speeches coming up.  You are probably in the best
position to address this crowd (time for the student to teach the teacher),
but I'd understand if you think it would be awkward (the we should just

Steve:  Let me know if you'd like to discuss.  I like Tim's idea re: maybe
you should take the slot.   But in my view definitely not Skilling.  I think
you saw my thoughts about this conference in a previous email exchange with
Schroeder re: Littlechild.

Also, they're breaking my arms and legs about sponsoring ($3-5K range).  I
had a thought that maybe EBS could stream the conference as an in-kind
contribution---the PR that EBS gets out of streaming might outweigh the cost
of providing gratis.  I had only raised it as a thought, though, and am
surprised to see it turn up in print.

Tim and I had both had Lee as a professor and I've been talking him about
this conference alot and have no problem delivering whatever the news is.  In
fact, I had already told them that they shouldn't count on us for this one
but that we're always interested in working together.

Jeff, I sent this e-mail to Kean last night.  I am fine with your
recommendation for Skilling to pass on this event.  Do you want to deliver
the news to Lee.  Do we want to offer you, Steve Kean, or me as an
alternative?  Personally, I would like to attend but don't have much interest
in speaking (assuming that they would allow low lifes like you or me to
speak).  Your call on all of this.  Call bob Badeer with questions about the
BEEP as I am heading out of town in a couple of hours.

Tim:  I've worked hard with these guys to try to make this conference the
best that it could be, but it ain't quite there.  So I'd rather keep our
powder dry and use Skilling at another time.  Not top-shelf enough in my
view.  If you want to discuss further let me know.

Also, one question:

Is the BEEP stack the constrained supply curve post-adjustment bids?  I have
that right?

Jeff and Tim,

Tim, I know Jeff knows all about the conference we are organizing and I hope
you do as well.

Rob, I and the rest of the conference organizers are wondering if you could
help us find out if Jeff Skilling from Enron would be willing to be one of
our panelists? He has been an articulate critic of the current state of our
electricity markets, and we definitely would like the genco perspective
represented.

Naturally we are hoping to get a quick answer because our publicity about
the conference will be going out shortly.

A brief description of the conference is appended below. Please let me know
if you need any additional information.

Thanks very much for your help and advice.
Lee

The summer of San Diego has prompted the School, in collaboration with UC's
Energy Institute and Competition Policy Center, to sponsor a high-level
summit conference on electricity deregulation. The focus, and the audience,
will be national, but heavily informed and influenced by the California
crisis.  The conference will evaluate (1) the wisdom of deregulation and (2)
how the pitfalls encountered so far can be avoided and remedied. The
University will facilitate an open, honest and reasoned exchange between
executive-level players from various perspectives: industry, regulators,
consumers, legislators, academics, and market and system operators.

The format entails two roundtable discussions with six speakers and a
moderator.  During the panel sessions, the speakers will engage in a
debate/dialogue on the current situation in electricity deregulation, where
we have come from, what the future holds, and what solutions lie on the
horizon. Each speaker will have uninterrupted time to speak, followed by Q&A
and discussion.  We expect a live audience of about 200, including a large
press presence.  One sponsor has tentatively offered to provide internet
streaming video services.  We hope to have a balanced group of sponsors
ranging from the American Public Power Association to energy companies.

The speakers are being arranged at this time. We have commitments from:
Loretta Lynch (Chair, CPUC), and PJM CEO Phil Harris. We have a preliminary
acceptance from Steven Littlechild (England's former primary electricity
regulator) and Laura Tyson (former Chair, President's Council of Economic
Advisors and National Economic Council, currently Dean, Haas School of
Business). We have invited FERC Commissioner Curt Hebert, and U.S.
Representative Edward
Markey, executive-level managers from several energy companies and state
legislators. Former DOJ chief economist Carl Shapiro will be on one of the
panels, as will economist Severin Borenstein, Director of UCEI and Professor
of Business and Public Policy. Michael Florio from The Utility Reform
Network (TURN) will be a consumer advocate on one of the panels. Lee
Friedman, economist and Professor of Public Policy, will briefly provide an
introduction to the panel discussions with his talk "Lighting the Stage: The
Electricity of Deregulation."

A dinner for the panelists and organizers will be hosted at UC's Goldman
School of Public Policy following the conference proceedings. We have
reserved rooms for our speakers at Berkeley's landmark Claremont Hotel. We
can reimburse those speakers who request it for coach airfare expenses and
other ordinary local expenses.

PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL:  ATTORNEY-CLIENT COMMUNICATION, ATTORNEY WORK
PRODUCT

Dear David,

 This will confirm that  you have been retained on behalf of Enron Capital &
Trade Singapore Pte Ltd. ("ECT") in the above-referenced alleged cargo
contamination matter as its London solicitor.  Again, you will be liaising
with Neale Gregson of Watson, Farley's office in Singapore, who will continue
to perform the factual development on this case for ECT, subject to your
direction and supervision.  Matt Lee, ECT's in-house attorney in Singapore,
will set up a telephone conference with you and Neale for some time tomorrow,
prior to opening of business in Houston.  In case you need to get in touch
with him, the telephone number I use for Matt is 65-838-9103   I believe
Neal's number is 65-532-5335.  I will call you tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. London
time, 9:00 a.m. Houston time, to touch base with you.

FACTS

 The following is a thumbnail of the facts that have been reported to me.  I
have not had a chance to run this summary past Matt, and would be grateful
for any corrections he might like to make.

 ECT purchased a quantity of "Elang Crude, suitable for export" from Phillips
Petroleum Company ("Phillips"), and voyage-chartered the M/V PACIFIC VIRGO
from Mitsubishi Corporation ("Mitsubishi"),the time-charterer, to carry it
from Phillips' offshore loading facility in Indonesia to Thailand and the
Phillipines for use by the buyer, First Gas Power Corporation ("FGPC"), as
compressor fuel.  There exists a long-term compressor fuel agreement between
ECT and FGPC that contains several specifications that the product needed to
pass.  The agreement between ECT and Phillips does not mention any of these
specifications.

 One of the specifications at issue from the ECT/FGPC agreement is  ASTM D
3605, which is used to test for the presence of certain metals.  According to
ECT's surveyors, ASTM D 3605 apparently does not produce test results that
are sufficiently reproducible to be useful.  ECT has apparently been trying
for some months to convince FGPC of this, but without success.  FGPC
reportedly advises that Seimens, from whom it purchased the compressors at
issue, might void its warranty to FGPC if fuel is used that does not meet
ASTM D 3605.

 A separate specification from the ECT/FGPC agreement, for sediments, may
also become at issue.  Months before the product at issue was loaded, ECT had
Elang Crude from this same facility tested to determine whether it would meet
the FGPC specifications, and found that the Elang Crude was on-spec for ASTM
D 3605, but off-spec for sedimentation (again, a test separate and apart from
ASTM D 3605) by almost double the allowed amount.  It is not clear why ECT
decided to purchase  product from Phillips despite this test.  It is unknown
at this time whether this test included any of the product later loaded.

 At some point prior to loading, ECT did put the ship on notice that the
cargo had to meet specifications for use as compressor fuel.  The ship
responded by recommending that the tanks be Butterworthed, at an extra cost
(per the C/P) to ECT of $30,000.  ECT declined, apparently opting for a less
expensive fresh water rinse. Reportedly, the ship then advised that it did
not have sufficient fresh water to perform a fresh water (as opposed to
seawater) rinse.  I am not sure what tank cleaning ultimately took place, or
who paid for it.  SGS, ECT's surveyors, did deliver a dry certificate to us
before loading.

 The ship loaded 659,133 bbls. (per B/L) at the MODEC Venture 1, Phillips'
floating offshore facility in Indonesia, from June 20-21.  Testing of the
shore tanks  at loading revealed that the Elang Crude did meet the
specifications in the FGPC contract.  ECT paid Phillips an FOB price of $20,
706,663.20 for the cargo.

 After loading in Indonesia, the ship then proceeded to Thailand, where from
June 28-30 it  off-loaded 410,697 bbls for storage, for the eventual use of
FGPC.  No quality testing of the product was apparently done aboard or ashore
at that time.  The ship thereafter sailed to the Phillipines for off-loading
the remainder of the cargo.

 Upon off-loading in the Phillipines, the cargo was found off-spec for the
presence of metals and sediment.  FGPC rejected the cargo; Wilson, Farley
opined that FGPC was squarely within its contractual rights to do so.  ECT
placed all potentially liable parties on notice and resold the cargo
remaining on board to LG Caltex ("Caltex"), reportedly a Korean refinery, on
a CIF outturn basis, for what I understand to be only a small (approximately
$300,00) reduction in the value of the cargo.

 ECT will not know exactly what it will be paid by the Korean refinery until
the end of August, as the purchase was based on an August price index.  That
cargo discharged in Korea and received by Caltex directly into its crude oil
storage facility on July 26.  It appears that Caltex did not do any quality
inspection before this occurred.  No protest or objection to the quality of
the cargo has been received from Caltex.

 ECT is attempting to find another buyer for the Elang Crude currently in
storage in Thailand, as it is apparently unsuitable for FGPC's use there as
well.  Matt will know whether that product has been tendered to and rejected
by FGPC.

  Mitsubishi has tendered an invoice for approximately $500,00 freight for
the voyage from the Phillipines to Korea, and has submitted an invoice for
approximately $250,000 for demurrage for the voyage from Indonesia to the
Phillipines.  ECT has already paid approximately $790,000 freight for the
voyage from Indonesia to the Phillipines.  Parenthetically, two different
charter parties were used: one for the voyage from Indonesia to the
Phillipines, and one for the voyage from the Phillipines to Korea.

 A number of samples of the cargo were taken at the MODEC Venture 1,  in
Thailand, and the Phillipines, at surveys that appear to have been jointly
attended by ECT, ECT's cargo underwriters, and Owners/P&I.  As I understand
it, the reports of the various analyses done to date are somewhat confusing.
A joint analysis is being planned to take place in Singapore.  Unfortunately,
the seals on a number of samples were broken by SGS, our surveyors; however,
my hope is that there are a number of other samples that can serve the same
purpose.

 ECT has also retained a Captain Sawant of PacMarine to act as an independent
expert for us in this matter.  Captain Sawant has prepared a report and there
is a Watson, Farley memo containing notes of an interview of him.  As I
understand his report, Captain Sawant believes that the contamination
probably took place aboard ship, as a result of (a) inadequate cleaning of
the tanks and (b) the cleansing properties of this condensate cargo.

 A related issue of great importance to ECT is FGPC's position going forward
regarding what I understand to be a long-term compressor fuel purchase
agreement.  Under the agreement, there are reportedly three alternative fuels
which ECT may, given certain conditions, deliver to FGPC: condensate,
gas/oil, and naptha.  Condensate is apparently the first choice, but must
meet ASTM D 3605, which ECT now feels is extremely difficult to do, given the
unreliability of the test.  Gas/oil can reportedly only be used where ECT has
been unable, despite the use of due diligence, to locate condensate that
meets ASTM D 3605.  If FGPC accepts gas/oil as a substitute, however, then
FGPC is responsible for paying a substantial tax on it that does not apply to
condensate.  Naptha will reportedly cause ECT to lose money, because of its
lower Btu content.

 Because of the problems with the M/V PACIFIC VIRGO product, ECT has
reportedly contacted FGPC about accepting gas/oil as a substitute.  I have
heard that this will cause FGPC to become liable for a tax in the range of
$1,000,000, although this has not been confirmed.  Before agreeing to accept
gas/oil, FGPC has requested a letter advising what due diligence efforts ECT
has performed in order to secure product that does meet its specs.

 Parenthetically, I ask that Matt remind me who the ECT trader was who
actually did this deal.

URGENT  ISSUES

1.  Who to use as ECT's experts.  Neale has recommended Captain Richard
Gregory of Noble, Denton and Dr. Eric Mullen of Burgoynes.  I do not know
whether Neale intends to use Captain Sawant, who has reportedly never
testified.  I feel that the quality of ECT's experts will be of great
significance in this case and want to make sure that whoever we use can, in
your opinion, command the respect of a London arbitration tribunal in a
proceeding against the ship or, if necessary, against the cargo underwriters.
 If that means getting a London-based expert, let's discuss it and get this
issue resolved before the joint survey that is being scheduled to take place
in the Phillipines.

2.    Resolving ECT's insurance claim.  As you know, Cliff Bennett of
Minton's (the same firm that Enron is using as its experts in the M/V HAVMANN
matter) is following this matter for ECT's cargo underwriters.  I am told
that Bennett has not been told by us about the pre-sale product sampling.  My
concern is that once he finds out, he (and the ship) will raise inherent vice
as a defense.  Please take a look at the cargo policy that I will be sending
you by courier and (a) advise of any coverage issues you see and (b) give us
your thoughts as to the best way of resolving ECT's claim quickly.

3.   Whether ECT should file for arbitration before the ship does so.  You
mentioned that the ship is likely to file an arbitration demand in the near
future and seek an interim award of its $510,000 freight claim.  Given that,
I would like your recommendation in very short order as to whether ECT should
wait for that to happen and file a counterclaim, or proceed with filing an
original demand.

4.   Whether ECT can raise the doctrines of impossibility of performance or
frustration of performance or some other legal theory to challenge the use by
FGPC of the ASTM D 3605 specification in this matter.

ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION

 This afternoon, I will be faxing certain key documents to you, and will send
the rest by courier.  I am also asking that Matt telefax to you copies of the
following documents (Matt, I apologize if you have already sent them to me):

1.  ECT's purchase agreement with Phillips

2.  ECT's long-term agreement to supply fuel to FGPC, and purchase orders (or
the like) that particularly relate to this cargo.

3.  A copy of the first charter party, as soon as it is sent to us.

4.  Anything which reflects the terms of the second charter party.

 David, we appreciate your availability and look forward to working with you.

     Regards,

     Britt Davis

Today's Focus: Cisco fixes bugs in switches and routers
---------------------------------------------------------------
By Jason Meserve (write me at jmeserve@nww.com)

I got an interesting response to a Network World column I
mentioned last week titled "Universal secure messaging will
rely on outsourcers." The column was written by James Kobielus,
who talked about authenticating digital signatures.

Reader John R. agrees with assumption in the column, saying
that for these signatures attached at the bottom of the message
to carry any weight, they need to be validated. To prove his
point, he attached a signature to his message. To the naked
eye, one would think it's OK. But, the signature was one he
pulled off an old CERT alert. Obviously, I don't check digital
signatures that vigorously.

John writes there are a couple other common foibles in dealing
with e-mail signatures:

* Assumption that if the "from: ID" is of a friend, it must have
been consciously sent by that person.

"Besides outright SMTP forgery (fakemail via port 25), it is
possible that another person is using the friend's system and
sent the e-mail, or that a software routine hooked into the
friend's e-mail account. The latter has been the [modus
operandi] of some recent worms and Trojans, "John writes.

* Failure to understand the difference between the userID and
the domain portions of an e-mail address.

"In one type of Web scam, a [perpetrator] gets, say, a Hotmail
or Juno account with a user ID that looks a lot like a trusted
company name. Naive people receive the email and think it is
from a trusted company. For example, a scam artist getting a
"Network_World@hotmail.com" address and passing himself off as
a Network World representative," he writes. "Loosely related to
the e-mail insecurities are some Web link tricks, but this is
for another time."

Thanks for the e-mail John. Maybe we'll have to start signing
our e-mails. You can read the Kobielus column at:

Hi Folks,

Getting new information on the Wayne Chrebet situation.   Appears that
Rookie WR Kevin Swayne will get the start and not Matthew Hatchette.

Here's the story from Bloomberg:

East Rutherford, New Jersey, Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- New York Jets receiver
Wayne Chrebet and defensive tackle Shane Burton will miss this Sunday's game
against the Carolina Panthers because of injuries sustained in last
weekend's loss to St. Louis.

Chrebet has had migraine headaches following a hit to his head from
defensive tackle Brian Young in a 34-14 defeat this past Sunday. Chrebet,
who had a concussion the previous week against Miami, didn't sustain a
second concussion against the Rams, Jets coach Herman Edwards said.

Chrebet has started all six games this season and is fourthon the Jets with
15 catches for 226 yards. The seven-year National Football League veteran
had 69 catches for 937 yards and eight touchdowns last season.

With Chrebet out, Kevin Swayne will start along with Laveranues Coles when
the Jets (3-3) visit the Panthers (1-5) on Sunday. Swayne, an undrafted
rookie from Wayne State in Nebraska, has one catch for 16 yards this year.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [  OUR VIEW  ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

I'd expect to see more than usual from Hatchette but it's Swayne who's been
backing up Chrebet.   Tough to expect the rookie to do a lot being thrust
into this situation so I wouldn't count on too much.   Sorry for the
confusion.

Thanks to Footballguy Matt Rosenthal for setting me straight.

Joe

Air Liquide et al v. PSE

        Formal Complaint - Docket UE-001952

        This week, the Commission is hearing evidence regarding the level of
a "soft
        cap" on prices PSE charges some large customers.

        On January 26, Public Counsel and Commission Staff filed a joint
answer on
        the rate cap mechanism.

        On Jan. 22, the UTC approved a temporary "soft-price" cap for power
rates
        paid by 13 large industrial customers of Puget Sound Energy (PSE). A
        short-term soft cap would allow PSE to charge above the cap for power
costs
        if the utility was paying more than a maximum level.

        The order calls for a second set of proceedings to establish the
level of the
        temporary soft cap as a term under the provisions of Schedule 48 and
the
        PSE/Georgia-Pacific Special Contract. The cap would be in place
pending
        further proceedings to determine a final disposition of Schedule 48.

        Puget's 13 large industrial customers are: Boeing, Georgia-Pacific,
Air Liquide
        America Corp. CNC Containers, Equilon Enterprises, Air Products and
        Chemicals, Inc., Tesoro Northwest, City of Anacortes, Intel Corp.,
King
        County's Metro Wastewater Treatment Division, Olympic Pipe-Bayview,
        Qwest and MCI WorldCo

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Weather Group

Let,s give a big round of applause to the Weather Team!  Environmental
Finance Magazine ranked the weather group #1 in Online Services and #1 Dealer
in the United States and Europe.  Gary Taylor, manager in weather trading,
comments, "The "Best Dealer" award reflects our counterparties' appreciation
for the significant effort we have made to drive the growth of our market by
making two-sided markets where other companies are only willing to quote
either a bid or an offer.  This award also reflects the innovative nature of
everyone on our desk, and their ability to price non-standard structures for
our customers.  It is truly a team award.  The "Best Online Dealer" award is
simply another testament to the unparalleled success of EnronOnline.  By
providing tight, two-way markets online, we have provided two critical
elements to generate growth in our market: 1) an element of price discovery,
and 2) a quick and easy way to transact."

The Weather Risk Management group launched a new product this week:  Power
Demand swaps.  These contracts use power demand as an index and allow power
market participants (generators, btu distributors, marketers, etc...) to
mitigate volumetric exposures.  The first contract the desk offered is for
the PJM power pool.  On EnronOnline, weekly swaps are available and the desk
has placed option contracts on this index in the broker market.  Inquiries
regarding this product should be directed to Claudio Ribeiro (product
manager) x37313, Gary Taylor x31511, or Valter Stoiani x36906.

Competitive Analysis and Business Controls
eSource, Enron's premier corporate-wide research group, launched their new
intranet product, eSearch, on December 1, 2000.  eSource's team of
specialized researchers have created a web site to bring information and
research to every employee's desktop.  The eSearch web site offers many links
to information resources, access to research databases, specialized searches,
sites to purchase books, articles, and reports, and training.  Employees can
use the web site to conduct their own research or as a vehicle to submit
research requests.  eSource's researchers and industry specialists are
available to all Enron business units to provide timely and cost efficient
research, to work with individuals or groups to fulfill one time research
requests, or to design ongoing, customized monitoring projects or news
updates.

Enron Global Markets Fundamentals
EGM Fundamentals is quickly building a team of expert analysts and associates
to work directly with traders and marketers.  The team is already busy
analyzing various commodities and market situations.  For example, an
initiative is underway to analyze current negative fractionation spreads in
the market resulting from rising natural gas prices.  Web sites to host this
analytical information are currently in development for all EGM commodities.
These sites will provide research and analysis, weather, publications, and
any other information that will assist in decision-making or identification
of potential commercial opportunities.  For questions or requests regarding
fundamental research, contact Jennifer Fraser at x34759.  For questions or
suggestions regarding the web sites, contact Heather Purcell at x54057.

Austin Energy
Austin Energy and Enron Sandhill, L.L.C, a subsidiary of Enron North America
broke ground November 29, 2000 for the construction of the Sand Hill Energy
Center, a 180-megawatt peaking electrical generation facility.  Located in
eastern Travis County, the Sand Hill Energy Center will be a natural gas
fired facility that will operate primarily during peak demand periods.  The
$93.7 million project will feature four 45-megawatt General Electric gas
turbines and will be operational May 1, 2001.

NEWS FROM THE GLOBALFLASH

Coal
The London dry cargo seafreight team traded 1 million metric tonne of
Capesize vessel swaps via EOL in one day, (Wednesday 28th November). The deal
was created by combining OTC options and a physically related cash market
deal.  This helps to bring our YTD EOL to just under 2.5 mln tonne.

Off-shore wind energy deal
Enron Wind has signed a power purchase agreement with Swedish energy company
Graninge.  According to the agreement, Graninge will deliver electricity to
consumers using Enron's wind power plants in southern Sweden.  Enron Wind's
Utgrunden off-shore wind park, completed this year, will generate in the
region of 38,000 megawatt hours of electricity, or enough for around 6,000
average homes between the mainland and the island of Oland on the southeast
tip of Sweden.  In an announcement this week, Graninge stated that it plans
to market the power to consumers as 'green' energy.

Happy 1st Birthday EnronOnline!
This week saw EnronOnline celebrate its first birthday.  During the course of
its first year, EnronOnline has passed a number of milestones including the
addition of a range of new functionalities for customers on the site.
EnronOnline has now come of age, having surpassed the $274 billion mark in
notional value in November.  This represents a total of 478,695 transactions
since the site was launched on 29 November 1999.

The first anniversary was marked by giving the media guest access to
EnronOnline in Europe.  A team from Reuters was invited into Enron House to
receive a full demonstration of EnronOnline and as of today will be able to
quote in reports live prices from EnronOnline.  Other media outlets are being
invited to obtain guest access during the coming weeks as the word of
EnronOnline's success continues to spread...

Australia
Enron Australia continues to assist in the region in a supportive role.
Elliott Katz worked on the GEM migration in Singapore last week with an IT
team from London, Oslo and Singapore.  Approximately 40 users, including
Traders, were migrated to Windows 2000 and the CORP domain.  This is an
important step for the Asia Pacific region, as it brings the three biggest
offices (Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo) into line with corporate standards for
desktop computing.

Japan
E-Power, a JV between Enron and Japanese finance company Orix, has announced
proposals for a 2000MW gas-fired power plant at Mutsu-Ogawara, an industrial
area  in northern Japan.   A feasibility study will be undertaken to define
how the project will go forward and this may include the development of an
LNG terminal in the vicinity.  The nature of the permitting process is such
that the plant would not begin operations for six to seven years.  This
project is just one of several options that E-Power are working on in Japan.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

West Power
On August 31, 2001, West Power Origination closed the sale of 100% of the membership interests in Southwest Power to Black Hills Energy Corp.  The sale to Black Hills concluded a two year strategy associated with the acquisition and expansion of the 50MW Las Vegas Cogeneration facility.   The 230MW Las Vegas II expansion project initiated in January 2000 consists of two, 2x1 systems utilizing LM 6000 PC technology in combined cycle. In May of this year, West Power Origination secured a 15-year tolling agreement with Allegheny Energy Supply Company for the entire output of the expansion project.  The Las Vegas II expansion project is currently under construction and is scheduled to go commercial in September 2002.  This transaction utilized many of Enron's technical, financial and commodity capabilities.  Congratulations to everyone who made it a success.

EES Europe Celebrates Pirelli Deal
EES Europe is celebrating another deal with an attractive brand name after clinching a three-year contract with Pirelli Cables and Systems, the world's leading energy cable manufacturer. The deal gives EES the right to match bids to supply gas and electricity to 18 manufacturing sites in Italy and the UK. EES will also assess opportunities for energy management programmes designed to increase energy efficiency at Pirelli's facilities.

Bob Manasse, Vice President Origination of EES Europe, said: "Congratulations to all those involved for securing EES another great deal which will strengthen our position in Europe and give us a valuable point of entry into the Pirelli tire organization and the recently acquired Telecom Italia."

German Gas Deal - First Municipality Transaction Signed in BEB Territory
Congratulations are due to the Frankfurt and London-based gas teams who, in the face of tough competition from the Northern German incumbent supplier, BEB Erdgas and Erdoel (a jointly held Shell and Exxon subsidiary), succeeded in securing two gas supply agreements with the cities of Peine and Uelzen on 24th August. Securing transmission will be challenging due to the fact that BEB has the most onerous grid access terms in Germany. However, the gas team is hopeful these transactions will bring about a turning point in gaining access to customers within BEB's territory, which until Enron closed on these deals was considered to be the "heart land" of Germany.

Enron Names New UK Coal-Hauling Freight Locomotive
On Saturday, 1st September, a ten-strong delegation from Enron's coal team traveled up to British Energy's Eggborough coal-fired power station to take part in the naming ceremony for a newly-acquired Class 66 freight locomotive, recently put into service by Enron business partner and rail freight specialist, Freightliner Heavy Haul.   Enron and Freightliner Heavy Haul signed a contract for UK coal transport in June 2000, effectively breaking the local monopoly in the rail transport of coal held by an incumbent rail freight company.  True to form, the introduction of competition has reduced rates and dramatically improved service levels.

Stuart Staley, Enron's international coal group vice-president, praised the dedication of the Freightliner train drivers and staff who have contributed to the success of the service for Enron. While Eddie Fitzsimons, managing director of Freightliner Heavy Haul Ltd noted:  'We only started running coal trains in December 2000 and we have now run more than 17,000 individual wagon journeys containing more than one million tonnes of coal, almost all of that for Enron.'

The coal team selected the name Don Raider from numerous entries received from an earlier Globalflash competition:  "The new locomotive was named Don Raider, after the river Don, a major river in South Yorkshire where a number of our customers are located," explains Tom Kearney, a director in Enron's international coal group who executed the original deal with Freightliner.  "Other "Raider Class" Freightliner Heavy Haul locomotives will be named at a later date, each bearing the name of a river which flows near to coal-fired power stations and major coal-importing ports."

While mischievous Enron employees may think the name sounds suspiciously like a covert activity carried out by the new market entrants, we can assure you that would simply be speculation!   Congratulations again to the Coal team on securing this landmark deal.

Online ease and access are an empty promise in a flawed market. CLAMOR OVER
THE recent market exit of Utility.com, billed as the world's first Internet
utility, was a wake-up call for the energy industry. That failure, along with
the energy debacle in California, raises questions about the viability of the
Internet as a vehicle for retail energy sales, enrollments, and fulfillment
in particular, and of electric and natural gas deregulation in general.

In the United States, though nearly 40 million customers (90 percent of them
residential) are eligible to choose their electric and/or gas supplier, more
than 85 percent have remained with their incumbent utility distribution
companies (UDCs). Of those who have switched, just 5 percent were residential
customers, and fewer than 15 percent used the Internet for any part of the
transaction. Another 10 million customers are expected to have choice by Jan.
1. Odds are, however, that switching will remain limited despite widespread
access to the Internet and online signups that can make choice a simple
matter of point and click. The question is, why?

The problem goes beyond the Internet to the very foundations of energy
deregulation. At the root, it's a question of customer value. Independent
power producers, energy service providers (ESPs), and the utilities
themselves sold energy restructuring on its promise of lower costs for
consumers. However, the track record of other deregulated industries reveals
that the reverse is often true-particularly for mass-- market customers.

Making retail choice meaningful for customers depends on amending the ground
rules of deregulation. Though many needed initiatives lie in the hands of
regulators, it may be that the players that can be most influential in
spurring action are the utilities and ESPs whose brands and fortunes are at
stake during this transition.

WHY CUSTOMERS AREN'T BITING

As I see it, five fundamental problems are hindering the successful
transition to competitive retail energy markets.

1. Risky Business. During regulation, when energy prices were cost-- based
and fixed, UDCs generated supply to meet demand, up to capacity. Now many of
the UDCs willingly have sold their generating assets and agreed to share the
risk of price fluctuations. The result is an out-of-control wholesale market
in which generators maximize profits by manipulating supply to drive up
prices. UDCs and ESPs forced to buy on the wholesale spot market get killed
when their retail price is fixed by contract. The result is that few ESPs are
willing to risk taking title to wholesale energy for re-sale. Furthermore,
the California Independent System Operator has evidence that the state's
energy "crisis" actually arose not from increased demand, but from reduced
supply. The reason, says the ISO, is that generating facilities have cut
capacity from last year's levels for no apparent reason.

Amidst such speculation, mass-- market customers are reluctant to switch from
the "safe haven" of their incumbent utilities.

2. Where's the Choice? Industries such as airlines and telecom demonstrate
that deregulation leads to price discrimination, with different customers
being offered different prices. As a result, ESPs compete hotly for large
customers with large loads that allow them to be creative strategically, and
still be profitable. On the other hand, residential and small commercial
customers present such thin margins (especially with mandated "price-to-beat"
offers and rate reductions from the utility) that ESPs cannot serve them
profitably without automated enrollment and customer self-service processes.
Few ESPs have focused on automating these processes, however. During the
regulated era, utilities subsidized the cost of serving these small customers
with the revenues earned from large accounts. Now it seems no one wants them.

For example, Enron completely abandoned the California residential market
just three months after it opened. In Pennsylvania, ESPs are "dumping"
residential customers back to their incumbent utilities. ESPs in Ohio were
forced to delay service to enrolled customers when their market support
generation agreements with the incumbent utilities were not in place as
expected. All of this heightens fears among customers that their chosen ESP
will not be able to serve them or will vacate the market. Because they
haven't been educated to the contrary, they fear they would be left without
service or with some cost for switching to a new ESP or back to their
utility.

3. Online Liquidity Lacking. The much-touted retail auction exchanges are
also struggling. One reason is that when customers compare bids in today's
pricey market to last year's contract prices, they don't perceive any
savings. Second, many commercial and industrial customers perceive no real
price competition among retail suppliers for their contracts on an energy
auction exchange. They believe they will get more competitive bids by
preparing requests for proposal and soliciting bids directly from suppliers.

4. Patchwork Regulation. Because regulation varies by state and transactions
vary by utility, it is expensive and complex for ESPs to expand into
different markets. For example, an ESP willing to offer a franchise deal to a
national chain, say, McDonald's restaurants, may find it virtually impossible
to navigate the regulations and transactional requirements for working with
the many utilities in all the states where the chain operates.

5. But Is That Rate Better? A customer who visits a popular retail energy
website such as Essential.com or Energy.com may be presented with a standard
offer price from one ESP. Is that a good price? How does it compare to what
he pays now? Most massmarket energy customers don't know. Add the fact that
65 percent of all Internet shoppers do not complete their purchase
transactions, and the problem is clear. Price discovery must be enhanced, and
the shopping and enrollment processes need to be simplified to attract novice
energy buyers.

A TO-DO LIST FOR BUILDING REAL CHOICE

The challenges I describe are formidable; no one solution will address them
all. Here are some important actions necessary to help break the logjam.
Utilities and ESPs in particular can play a critical role in encouraging
regulators at the state and federal levels to make needed changes.

Cap Wholesale Prices. Energy companies are at the mercy of federal regulators
to dampen wholesale market volatility. They, and state regulators, should
continue pressuring the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to consider
short-term regional price caps on wholesale electricity. To mitigate gaming
of the markets, the FERC also should require generators to publish their
annual plans for scheduled downtime, and force them to explain unplanned
downtime.

Form A Mega-Exchange. To promote liquidity in retail energy exchanges, the
operators of the various exchanges should consider pooling their resources to
develop a universal exchange portal-or at least a virtual exchange-that most
or all of the largest customers could use. That way customers and suppliers
could go to one site and see all deals, even if the deals were posted
regionally behind the scenes. Such an exchange would offer various
procurement vehicles, including auction, bid/ask, and standard offer.
Suppliers also would welcome a single site where they could see all qualified
deals.

Educate the Public. Consumer education in deregulating markets clearly needs
to go further. Regulators in these states could follow a strategy that's been
moderately successful in several states: collecting money from all
participating utilities and ESPs to launch a campaign to increase the
public's understanding of retail choice. Radio, TV, and print ads would
explain the merits of deregulation, demystifying the enrollment process and
calming the fears of apprehensive customers. Through this type of program,
for example, Pennsylvania regulators saw mass-- market awareness of retail
electric choice soar to 94 percent in just over a year. Utilities and ESPs
can enhance these public awareness efforts by coordinating their own
educational materials with the statewide campaign.

Redouble Marketing. In line with the objectives to increase consumer
awareness, energy service providers need to do a better job of branding their
service, communicating their value proposition, facilitating price discovery,
and targeting the actual buyer within commercial organizations. This is a job
for the professionals. ESPs should hire and consult with Madison Avenue
talent to develop branding and advertising campaigns. ESP websites should
allow a prospective customer to enter basic information from their utility
bill, and calculate both the commodity charge and the distribution charge,
demonstrating the clear impact of switching on one month's bill. Accuracy is
critical. Often, the ESPs have difficulty getting this calculation right
themselves.

Standardize Transactions. Utilities and ESPs, backed by a FERC directive,
should take the lead in developing national standards for electronic
transactions, including switching. That would ease apprehension among
customers, make national contracting easier, and reduce the investment
required by energy suppliers to enter new markets.

Phase out "Standard Offers." State regulators should consider speeding the
elimination of UDC "price to beat" and "standard offers." This price rigging
creates a false economy with the customer, adds undue price pressure to
commodity prices, and puts severe earnings pressure on utilities. The crisis
situation in California has made such potential consequences crystal dear.

Aggregate the Apathetic. Some municipalities have begun aggregating their
residents to form residential aggregation pools that are attractive to ESPs
and wholesale suppliers. If the municipality successfully addresses customer
apprehension, and allows disinterested customers to opt out, these
aggregations can be an effective way to force choice in a community... at
least until the next general election. Energy companies and state regulators
may be able to encourage aggregations by educating local officials on the
benefits of such buying pools and providing materials for marketing to
residents.

Force Choice. State regulators can force all customers to choose an ESP,
and/or bar the incumbent utility from acting as an ESP. In Texas, for
example, utilities cannot prospect for new energy supply customers outside
their territory until at least 40 percent of their franchise customers have
chosen an alternative ESP For gas deregulation in Georgia, all customers were
assigned an ESP in proportion to the market share each ESP garnered in a
pilot period. Energy companies may influence legislators in deregulating
states, as well as federal legislators, to pursue this approach.

Consider Re-Regulation. The FERC should consider guidelines to encourage
states with volatile supply networks to re-regulate, or defer deregulation,
until the wholesale markets stabilize and the bugs have been ironed out of
the deregulation process.

Simplify Rates. State regulators should encourage utilities to simplify their
rates for residential and small commercial customers. That would allow retail
suppliers and customers to more easily understand the rates and potential
savings of switching to an ESP.

Deregulation will succeed only when all stakeholders put the success of the
program before partisan interests. Without the undivided support of all
parties, there can be little improvement on the pseudo-competitive mire we
see today. It just doesn't work.

some of it, I'm catching a cold I think, so I slept alot during it.  It made me mad too, I was all decked out in my superbowl shirt and the football stripes on my face and everything.  And to top it off, there were around 50 people at Brian's parent's house.  What about you?

Dan, etal --

Someone from CSC was on the call (Allison Hafner).

TXU said the meters were to be read by Dec 13 with final EDI files sent to ERCOT by Dec 14.  ERCOT would process a REP of Record change on Dec 13.

Looks like everything is ok.

actually,  the hedges will be done at close - not pre-hedge by kcs [we have
been working with credit, but they want something like $28 MM in escrow from
kcs], so the hedges will be done at close in the name of ect merchant
investments - then move to brazos.  last nite i called credit to confirm that
ect merchant investments can do this big hedge - which i assume they can - it
is enron.  but, i just wanted to cover all bases.

also, i have a question for you - when you guys get physical premium/discount
numbers, do you go to the basis trader for this, or to an andy ring/susan
perrira/kelly stevens/tom donohoe trader type? with peoples new roles, not
sure who is doing what.   thanks.

Thanks for forwarding mail to me.  I apologize for the inconvenience of
this.  My current e:mail address is sally.beck@enron.com, as suggested within
the past few months by the technology group that all addresses use the long
name.   HOWEVER, my e:mail address prior to that was sbeck@ect.enron.com.
That was printed on my business cards, many of which are still in circulation
I am sure.  When ECT became ENA, I changed my e:mail address to drop the ect
reference and to use my long name rather than sbeck.  So I can see why you
would receive my mail on occassion if someone is either making an educated
guess on the address or referencing my old card.  SInce there are at least 2
sbeck's here, have you thought about adopting use of your long name address
rather than the shorter version to help in further differentiating between
us?   That might help eliminate confusion going forward.


If we relocate him to Pasadena, he will find his way back! I vote SPCA

Subject: RE: mouse trap

I suggest putting the trap out with food as fast as humanly possible as this
cat has to go! A hungry cat is a motivated cat! If it does not work, we can
put food out sans trap and get his confidence,  then use the trap. I think
mouse will go for the canned food -the stinkier the better.

Assuming Mouse is caught - what then? SPCA and the likely result or do we
relocate him to, lets say, Pasadena?

Subject: RE: mouse trap

I think if he develops a "taste" for something on our back porch it will
only make him hang around more...we should be as cruel as possible and just
stick something out there when we are ready to take him in...he seemed
pretty willing the last time (although he may be smarter now that he is
fatter and not seemingly as hungry)
Trapper Craig probably knows the best procedure though, so I will defer to
his suggestions...

Subject: mouse trap

SPCA has several "cat" (Mouse) traps available.
They're only open 'til 7 tonight and I have a DiverseWorks meeting at 6.
Not sure if I will make it over there today.  Could probably go at lunch
tomorrow.  Question:  when to set the trap?  Shall we at least appease him
with a little food on the back porch first, maybe something really stinky
and canned?  That will give him a chance to develop a taste for the salmon,
tuna, whatever we bait the trap with; plus it might get him to shut up.
Then we can set the trap when there is time to take him to the shelter.  I
figure it is probably best not to trap him during the wee hours; we have
probably not yet heard Mr. Mouse at his loudest.
Comments?  Any advice from Trapper Craig?


Dan has layed out a process for this to happen that I will follow.

I will follow up when it is done.

It is in the best interest of the Estate to keep these accounts active until the Estate has a solid alternative plan established!

Dave,

We are currently working on options to have the roles each of the resources you have identified performed by the resources in the Estate.  However, I do not feel that the accounts for the resources should be disabled.  There are possible situations where we will need to call on them for coverage and assistance in this transition.  I have not heard from anyone yet as to the expected transition time frame.  We are trying to get all issues resolved as quickly as possible.

Please respond is anyone has a different view.

Thanks - MO

Rep. Archer did a great job today filming the spot.  Fyi, we will put it up
on Thursday and hold a news conference that same day with  four Republican
state reps and preview the spot for TV and the  chronicle.
?
Would you send Archer a short note thanking  him, Sharon and Don Carlson, his
aide, for their excellent  effort?
?
Thanks. Everything is good. Our four day tracking  poll (we are tracking
every night except friday and saturday) shows us  up 59-34. Give the
opponents all the undecided and we are still in  shape to coast in 55-45--a
20 point turnaround from  '99.
