Yes, the producer receives a fixed price, however, these deals are probably
in TAGG as Nymex plus basis deals.  Phillips deal was transferred to ENA,
Power Gas was triggered on ENA books.
Or does it matter???

Tana -

I spoke to Joe Wright at APB this morning.  Here is the rub on this matter:

 - APB has a $500K LC outstanding to cover the US trading
 - Norwegin Energy Brokers - AS is a brokerage house trading in Nordic/EU areas (mostly in Scandinavian countries)
 - First Energy Brokers - AS was formed by NEB for purposes of trading in the Netherlands (not sure of the timing)
 - NEB owns a large stake in FEB, but not all of the entity.
 - APB is currently a 23% owner of NEB (thus indirectly owning a piece of FEB)
 - APB is looking to purchase the balance of the ownership of NEB which is CONFIDENTIAL (seeking to close sometime later this month)
 - Joe indicated his thought that, post-NEB purchase, there is a good chance that NEB and FEB will be merged
 - Joe also indicated that it would not be a problem for the APB LC to be expanded to these entities - if this is what credit would need.

I do not know if we have any history with either NEB or FEB, but I am sure we need to talk to credit to figure out what is needed in order for the trading to take place.  Can you follow this up or do you want me to do so?

Thanks.

Mark

Subject: I didn't think I was finished negotiating

Lorraine, I wanted to send you an e-mail about our negotiations regarding
TW/VV interconnect.  I don't want you to feel like I am trying to renegotiate
something you think we agreed to last week.

When we were talking last week about concessions I was seeking from TW in
lieu of underperfomance at the VV interconnect, I gave the example of
reducing our alternate delivery rate on the Jack Rabbit agreement, but I
wanted to talk to you further about it.  We agreed that you would call me
this week to talk about it.  It was my intention that the negotiations were
not over yet, but that we need to talk further.

Quite simply, a discounted rate on an alternate delivery point for an
agreement where I don't have a lot of volume does not do much for
Burlington.  The lack of TW's ability to accept nominated volumes from Val
Verde as mutually agreed to in the IPOA is a big and expensive issue to
Burlington.  It significantly limits our ability to operate the plant
efficiently, honor nominations of third party shippers on the system and it
is causing BR to nominate extra volume into the EPNG system which is
constrained.  All of these factors cost Burlington a significant amount of
money.

Some of the concession I am seeking include:  The same discounted rate to
make alternate deliveries into EPNG as TW at Blanco on agreement 25597.  The
same discounted rate for alternate receipts north of the LaPlatta compressor
station which in contrary to the language on agreement 25597.  I realize that
BR would be alternate firm, but the agreement would be higher in the queue
than interruptible.

Alternatively, what about terminating 25597 retroactively back to August 1.
The agreement expires at the end of the year and I really don't need the way
it is currently structured.  I have an IT agreement for $.03 with all of the
flexibility that I am looking for on 25597.

I have not sold this idea to my boss or anyone else in management.  We have
had a conceptual meeting about this issue.  It was agreed that our first
option was not to ask TW to spend a bunch of money to bring you into contract
compliance.  Instead we wanted to work with you to find some common ground.

The bottom line is that you have to give me something to take to my
management.  Please call me to discuss this.  I really do want to keep these
negotiation up beat.  I think past negotiations have not gone as well as you
or I would have liked.  I really look forward to talking to you and working
something out that is agreeable to both companies.

Once again this year, I am leading the BEAR (BE A Resource for CPS Kids) Holiday Fundraiser.  BEAR offers help and hope for abused and neglected children.  This program is more commonly known during the holidays as the "BEARing Gifts" Program, and it assists an average of 800 children a month.  Last year was the first year we called on Enron's Community Relations and our fellow employees to raise money for new bikes, in-line skates and scooters (each child also gets a helmet) for thousands of children under the care of Children's Protective Services.  BEARing Gifts provides holiday gifts to CPS kids who otherwise would have no holiday at all.

Please visit the Enron Lobby on November 5, 6, 7 or 8 between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., make a donation, and participate in our raffle to win free airline tickets and many other fabulous prizes.  For more information, contact Margaret Doucette at (713) 345-7892 or Janette Elbertson at (713) 853-7906.

Thank you very much for your support.

Russell,
 We need closure on the guaranty issue.  All of the guaranty formats you
provided to me covered specific enron entities under specific contracts that
were identified in the guaranty.  If you can give me the specific contracts
for each of the other enron entities you want covered by the Gas physical
master contract of ENA whose payment obligations to Engage Energy Marketing,
L.P.you want guarantied by Enron, I will take the lead to draft the guaranty
and have it forward to Enron Corp for approval prior to sending it out as a
draft to Engage Energy Marketing, L.P.

Dan,

This is in response to my continued efforts with legal to make note of my
intended priority of executing a Master Firm with Coastal Energy (formerly
Engage US).  As previous e-mails below indicate and phone calls with the ENA
legal group and Coastal, the draft has yet to be sent out.  I have confirmed
with Coastal today, they have STILL not received the draft although are
expecting this from ENA.  We have outstanding exposure with this entity and
is important from a credit, legal, and contractual standpoint that an
agreement is executed.  I understand that in the past they have been
unwilling to negotiate a Master although I want one put in place. Please do
what you need to, to get this draft sent to the counterparty.

Regards,
Russell

Dan,

Per Debra's e-mail to me, why can we not include other entities on this
guaranty, it seems we have got guaranty's in place with other counterparty's
in which they reference specific contracts as well as entities not related to
the  contract, i.e. Sempra, Duke, Aquila, Dynegy,......

Dan,
I see the execution of this contract as a priority considering the trading
volumes on Enron Online and current market conditions.  I know in the past,
we have been unable to negotiate a Master Firm with Engage US, although their
legal group is fully aware of our request to negotiate a contract. Please
send the draft out to the contact listed on the credit worksheet and
priortize the negotiation of this contract.

How crazy would that be if we had three generations of Symes in one
classroom! If I were one of the other students and I figured out there were
three siblings in my class, I might actually consider that a little bizarre,
like a circus family or something. But whatever. I'm definitely into it
though - that is, if U.O. has decided to forgive my errant freshman year
behavior that got me booted from those luxurious residance halls and re-admit
me. They're probably looking over my application right now and just pissing
themselves, "Wait a minute - that good-for-nothing druggy thinks she's going
to GRADUATE SCHOOL...HAHAHAHAHAHA..." and so on.

And by the way, I didn't mean to throw you into a fit of Catholic guilt over
the kitty thing. She's totally fine, and mom actually likes her. I think my
presence actually upsets the balance. And I think this move might be good for
her - she'll be going back to her apartment roots. The real martyr in all of
this is Big Kitty, who still looks completely baffled when Kitty hurtles
herself at him from behind doorways and such. After she does that, they
generally both walk away from each other just looking completely dissatisfied
with the whole thing - Big Kitty because he's old and demented and everything
confuses him, and Kitty because she's young and demented and everything
pisses her off. Gotta love it.

So you look like Jennifer now? Hey, don't underestimate the one-time
popularity of that haircut. Everything comes back into fashion at some point.
I will tell Brett you said hi. His wife just had her baby - they are such a
freaking cute little family it makes me depressed. Even more than I already
am from having to sit around my house all the time and listen to Amber and
Molly call their respective boyfriends "schmoopy" and swap sex stories. It's
thoroughly disgusting, and I've told them so. They just throw their heads
back and laugh with self-satisfied couple-induced mania. And there you have
my happy little family.....

Have fun on your date tonight! Just go into it like you have nothing to lose,
which you don't, and like you don't care, which you shouldn't. 'Kay?

Love ya,
Kate

Zero week is a one-week, four-credit course in June at U of O.  I'm trying
to get John to do it, too.  Maybe we should all take one together!  Anyway,
the website is uosummer.uoregon.edu (no www), but unfortunately none of the
info is posted yet because they're all a bunch of lazy pot-smoking
superfreaks over there in Eugene.  Usually you can choose from any general
ed courses - I'm taking polisci because I need it for my major.  They'll
have journalism and stuff like that.  We could crash at John's house and
party till the wee hours with all the wee freshmen!

I feel bad about Kitty, too.  Is she getting more nuts than ever?  I would
love to bring her out here if it wasn't for the obvious obstacles (she could
never go outside, she would rip my face off on the ride over, etc.).  If she
is still doing bad next year when my lease runs out, we could consider
bringing her out here.  I could move into a house.  Anyway, I'm sorry to
hear about the whole thing.  I feel really guilty too.  Hopefully Mom is
available for the five minutes a day that Kitty actually wants contact with
humans.

Well, have fun getting your hair cut and tell Brett I said hi!  I got my
hair cut here and the man confused me with Jennifer Aniston circa 1990.  I
look like a freak, and my hair is oily, and I don't want to go on this date.

Have a good night!

Hey - what the heck is zero week? I might be interested in signing up for
that - pack in some quick credits for my pre-grad school work. I figured
out I'm going to essentially have to get a second bachelor's degree before
going to grad school. But hey, it's all about the credentials man - as in,
being able to tell people at my 10-year high school reunion that I have two
bachelor's degrees, a master's, and a Rhodes Scholarship to study Italian
wine in a 12th century villa, surrounded by buff, tan, and unusually
good-looking farm workers.Tres important!

So yeah, maybe we'll hold off on the visit for now. I think it's more
important for us both to feel mentally stable about our finances for right
now - then we party! I could maybe make it out there in April, overlap with
mom's trip (I don't think I could handle the whole thing with her...) -
I'll keep it in mind. And yeah, she's giddy about this whole house move
thing. I hope it works out for the best - I really think it will. I'm
starting to feel really bad about leaving Kitty with her, but I'm in a
weird situation with Amber's cat at our house already. Part of me wants to
just bring Kitty over and tell everyone to deal with it because it's my
house too; but the other part of me doesn't want to deal with the bloodshed
that will ensue between her and Amber's outmatched feline. Oh well, I'm
thinking about it.

The most excitement I'll be having this week is my haircut with Brett
tonight. I think I might also be purchasing a bedskirt, a totally
extraneous and disappointing expense that I would never have had if I
hadn't insisted on getting a "real" house with a "real" bed and all that
other crap that goes along with it and inevitably costs you money that you
could have otherwise spent on beer. And as the sands flow, these are the
days of our lives....

I'm so impressed with your dating maneuvers. I told Amber and Molly about
it last night at dinner, which we ate together around our new dining room
table, and they both said in unison, "Like sister, like sister." I guess I
have some kind of reputation for ending up on dates with waiters - go
figure. Anyway, it's time for me to go find something to eat and then come
back to my desk and consume it while it flows directly to my butt. Can't
wait! Write back soon.

I'm so glad to hear everything's better at your house!  I totally want to
come visit, but my last two paycheck deposits have only raised the balance
to $0 so it may be awhile.  I'm definitely coming in June, when I take a
zero week class in Eugene.  Mom's supposedly coming out here in April and
we
might go to Glenwood Springs (hot springs, spa, MASSAGES!).  You should
come, too!  Fun female family bonding time!

I am so excited for Dad to visit, not just because of the car but also
because it will increase my quantity of social engagements by about 100%.
I'm a little worried about the effect it's having on Mom, who asked me when
he was coming so she wouldn't "run into him".  Like I would allow that to
happen - how stupid does she think I am?  But it sounds like she's pretty
stoked about this house thing, so I'm excited for her.

I have a date with that waiter guy tonight, but I'm not really that excited
because I am fat, ugly and on the third day of my period.  Did I mention
broke and car-less?  I think I should just put off this whole dating thing
until I increase MY net value (to use Kate-speak), which is just ground
zero
for most people.  I am trying to pay off some debt (Dad took care of most
of
it, but I didn't have the heart to show him my Nordstrom account).  It's
slow-going, though.  And car payments will not make it easy, but seriously
this city is so pedestrian-unfriendly that I feel I have no choice.  I
tried
to go to my tennis lessons the other day and ended up walking along the
shoulder of a highway for twenty minutes.  And every person in Denver feels
the need to own a dog and allow it to bark menacingly at every passerby (I
am SO afraid of dogs after my brush with death in the form of a Doberman).
So I need a car,  and I don't care if it means weekly visits to the plasma
"donation" center.

I actually met Marky's ex the other night (maybe don't mention to Amber - I
don't know why but the whole thing seems weird and I would rather stay out
of it).  Anyway, she is really cool!  She reminds me of my friend Jen
Sturmer, except less anorexic and depressed.  Speaking of, have you been
going out in Portland a lot?  I miss Veritable Quandary!  I haven't found
anything like that here yet.  Downtown has some cool bars, but you have to
pay $90 plus an appendage to park and cabs are not cheap either.  My
neighborhood has some good dives, like the one on our corner that has a
flickering neon sign outside announcing "Don's Mixed Drinks" - not sure,
but
think that's the name of the bar.  I went in once and met Don, the king of
multiple body piercings here in Denver.

Okay, I'm rambling.  Time to get back to work (which is so good lately, by
the way!  I get to start grant-writing this month!).  Hope all's well for
you.  I'll give you the dirt on my date later, if my acne doesn't scare him
away in minute one.  Miss you, love you!!

Love, yo sista

Dearest Anna, my most favorite sister of them all!

I'm sorry I've been so bad about staying in touch while you've been stuck
in those Rocky Mountain highs and lows of life. It sounds like things are
going really well though (Rocky Mountain "highs") and that you've made it
through most of the tumult of moving to a new place (Rocky Mountain
"lows"). Amber tells me every time she talks to Marky, her man of the hour,
he mentions how they've got to get together with you when she comes to town
- which will be on next Friday, whoo hoo, party! I'm so mad that she gets
to go and I don't, being that I am not, like her, in my eighth year of
college and therefore do not enjoy such things as "Spring Break Mania"
anymore. And Monica tells Marky who tells Amber who tells me that she'd
love to hang out with you more often. It sounds like you guys had a ball at
dinner, eh? So you've got options, girlfriend, which is worlds more than I
can say for my life at the mo'. It pretty much consists of working, eating,
and sleeping. I'm definitely looking into that SAD mental disorder thing,
because I think it's got me in its clutches. But the recent abundance of
sunshine has brought me enough renewed energy to start thinking about life
after winter. We're doing lots of gardening, cooking, and decorating at the
house - it's like having three Martha Stewarts all working together, only
slightly less stylish , immensely less efficient, and drunk. Other than
that, I've been trying to organize and simplify my life - taking care of
mounds of paperwork, paying off debts, sorting out all those nagging little
post-it notes that plague me constantly and demand my attention in vain.
I'm actually starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, like maybe
I could buy a car or take a trip in a few months, or even buy a SECOND pair
of shoes, but let's not get wild and crazy just yet. So I heard Dad and
Laura are on their way to your neck of the woods with an automobile. That
is, in the immortal words of the guys in "Dude, where's my car?", SWEET...
DUDE! You are stoked. I bet that's a major load off - just make sure to
keep your finances in check and not get in over your head. Take it from one
who knows. I'm seriously looking into buying an old beater car; but then I
start fantasizing about the Audi A4 Quattro, and suddenly $30,000 doesn't
seem like a bad price for becoming ultimately cool. Lately I've been doing
a lot of research into self-improvement measures. I just applied for
post-baccalaureate status at U of O, so I can start taking economics and
poli sci classes online. (I just got my new FREE computer from work!) I'm
also studying for the GRE, and pretty soon here I'm going to get serious
about graduate school. I think I've decided on international studies and/or
economics, depending on how well I like the classes I take. I've found my
dream program at Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C. It's a
two-year Masters of International Studies program that begins in Washington
and ends in.....are you sitting down?.....Bologna, Italy! Holy shit, does
it get more perfect? Apparently it's like the premiere training ground for
government officials, according to my friend Andy who laughed forcefully in
my face when I told him I wanted to get into it. But I figure, I'm not
getting any younger, and I don't want any regrets, so I'm goin' for it,
dude. As for the love life, it's nonexistant, which is why I'm putting so
much energy into the self-improvement area of my life. I figure as long as
I'm having no fun with boys I might as well be beefing up my net value. By
the time they come around again, the eligible pool will have shrunk to 1 in
100 million. Whatever. Anyway, now that I've written you the longest
paragraph of my life, I must retreat to my work duties. Then it's off for a
thrilling tour of Portland via Tri-Met. Molly's making me dinner tonight in
exchange for a finished resume. It's only taken her 3 years to compile the
information for it, so this one should be a doozy. Hey, if you can ever
make it home for a weekend, you should come at the end of May - David Gray
is coming to the Schnitzer, and it's going to be fabulous! I'll buy your
concert ticket if you can convince Dad to get your plane ticket. Call me
soon if you can, or I'll call this weekend. Take care and I miss you!

Love,

fun!  I was so glad to get out of my apartment/away from my roommate.  And
now I have a date, so I'm excited.  I'm still in contact with Mr.
Colorblind, but we've had the friends talk so it's been really cool.  In
fact, he's nicer to me now than he was before!  Anyway, that's crazy news
about Mom's house!  I guess no more crashing at her house when I go home.
How are your roommates?  Your seattle boyfriend?  Your job?  Write me with
the goods, woman.  I am getting a car in two weeks and I am more excited
than any car-buyer has ever been.  My job is great, although i think I'm
getting scoliosis from bad posture in an uncomfortable chair all day.
Nothing else is happening.  Are you going out for St. Patrick's Day?  I
have
to work, but there's a big outdoor thing downtown that I might go to
afterwards.  Okay, must go work.  Call me though!  I miss you!

Love, Anna


Ricki, FYI.  I gave Christine the tickets for July 12th.  I will get you the info from Janet for the 13th.  Thanks. Lynn

Mark,

Attached, for your information, is  a copy of a general presentation that I
prepared to illustrate and describe EGM's businesses.  This is a presentation
that will become a "living" document to communicate our businesses and
growth.  I will be making numerous changes as we move closer to the analyst
meeting in January but I wanted to give everyone a copy of this version.

Please don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions or comments.

Mike


What if we replace Section 2 with something like "This Agreement shall
continue in effect unless and until terminated pursuant to Section 3,"  and
replace Section 3 with "Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon
written notice to the other Party not less than twelve (12) months prior to
the intended date of termination."

Sound OK?  if so I'll add it to my draft.

P.S. -- Dave, on your wish list you had included an evergreen provision.  See
Section 2 of the original contract, which gives TW the right to extend for
another five-year term by giving notice to SPS.  If TW does not give such
notice, SPS may cancel the contract, and if it doesn't, the contract
automatically rolls over for another year.  If this is not acceptable please
let me know.

Debbie,
I am forwarding to you a 2 page document describing implementation of
"analytical" VAR in RisktRAC.

Here is why this effort is very important:
1. We need to calculate VAR for other percentile but 5 (1% or even 0.2% as
mentioned by Rick Buy)
and our simulation model can not handle required number of simulations;
2. We need to present additional risk measures (such as Mean Tail Loss) to
the Board.

The analytical approach is implemented in a spreadsheet and fully tested
already so there will be no problems
with the algorithm itself.

We need to get together and discuss IT implementation.

What do you think?

Tanya


I am still sick as hell, but I thought I would try running today any interest?

HELLO AGAIN E-RIDERS!

Yes, the snow has started to come down! In very big ways!  In fact,
Telluride has received over 3 feet of fresh powder since October 1 and the
temperatures have been frigid?which makes for excellent snowmaking
conditions. Winter has come, and you know what that means ? YES! Time to
strap on some boards and make some turns!

SNOW REPORT
As the snow has begun to come with increasing regularity, you can imagine
the local attitude begins to buoy. At lunch the other day, when we looked
out the window and saw the big flakes coming down, we made a loud whoop
with our waiter, causing all heads in the restaurant to turn our way. But
when the other diners saw the white stuff, EVERYONE started buzzing with
the anticipation. Folks are getting ready for the season. For a sneak
preview, check out the photo of the day at
www.telluride-ski.com/dayphoto.html.

BARGAINS & DEALS
The best-case scenario for skiing Telluride is to live here. But the NEXT
best-case scenario is that you get a screaming deal to vacation here. And
that's what Telluride and Mountain Village Visitor Services has for you.
Check out these packages for round-trip air, lodging and skiing from some
of America's biggest hubs:

Dallas Special:          $831 per person - 5 nights lodging, 4 days skiing
and roundtrip air to Montrose
Houston Special:    $814 per person - 5 nights lodging, 4 days skiing and
roundtrip air to Montrose
Chicago Special:    $825 per person - 5 nights lodging, 4 days skiing and
roundtrip air to Montrose
Miami Special:      $929 per person - 5 nights lodging, 4 days skiing and
roundtrip air to Montrose

To get any of these specials, call 1-888-288-7360.

If you choose to put together a package on your own, check out the lodging
deals at www.telluride-ski.com and click on HOT DEALS.

WHAT'S NEW
You can never have too much snow. With that in mind, the Telluride Ski
Resort installed a new snowmaking system this summer that guarantees that
every lift pod will have coverage on at least one run all season long! Yep.
Lifts 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 will have better conditions for riding and skiing
from beginning to end. As the hipper folks say, the turns will be "tasty."

The tastiest new addition to the mountain, however, is Allred's, a new
140-seat restaurant that is guaranteed to delight even the most
discriminating diners. Located mid-mountain at the gondola Station St.
Sophia, Allred's will serve as a private club by day in the winter, an
upscale lunch spot in the summer and a fine dining experience in the
evenings year-round. More on this epicurean dream in later e-rides. For
dinner reservations, call 970-728-7474.

One other great new thing: It's easier to get to Telluride than ever
before. You can now fly to Montrose EVERY DAY from Dallas/Ft. Worth on
American Airlines?but the flight will only have 129 seats, so be sure your
body is in one of them!

WHAT'S HAPPENING
Of course the most important thing on the Telluride calendar is November
22, the Official Opening Day. But there are other things worth mentioning.
Like the Sneak Preview of the mountain on November 21. For one day only you
can ski Telluride for $20, and all proceeds go to the Telluride Ski and
Snowboard Club.

After the Donation Day, you can still get good deals. From November 21
through December 16, Telluride hosts its annual Ski Free & More program.
What's it entail? Exactly what it says. Skiers and riders staying at
participating lodges in the towns of Telluride and Mountain Village can
choose a free lift ticket, a free ski clinic, a free lunch or a free
half-day of childcare for each night they stay. For more information call
888-288-7360.

And if you're looking forward to having a ball, why not do it right at the
annual Black & White Affair? On November 25, the Telluride Ski and
Snowboard Club hosts this gala event at the luxurious Telluride Conference
Center. Dress up and dance off your turkey. No one puts on a ball like
Telluride!

SLICE OF LIFE
Imagine being over 50 years old and never having seen any snow! Such was
the case for my friend Sarah, who recently moved to Telluride from the
Caribbean. She and her daughters arrived late this summer, and when the
snows began to fall a few weeks ago, they were in rapture! Sarah ran
outside and began to dance around (to her 17-year-old daughter's absolute
embarrassment!) However, the daughters both caught the enthusiasm and built
their first snowman ever. The snowman , of course, had a perfect carrot
nose.. An organic carrot, no less. Hey, this is Telluride. Only the best
for our snowmen.

AND SO, E-RIDERS,
That's all for this letter. Hope you're planning your trip to Telluride,
where the snow is always whiter and the lines are always short. See you on
the slopes!

Rosemerry

WHO'S WRITING THIS ANYWAY?
Against her will, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer learned to ski in Telluride six
years ago. But after a few turns, she fell ? in love with the sport. She
lives with her husband and cat at the base of Lift 7?an ideal spot for
getting first chair of the morning.

My apologies - I obviously misunderstood the message from last week.  I should have called you to discuss before firing off my memo.  We are doing everything possible to accelerate cash and reduce expenses in the short-term, including financing our Dutch blade facility.  We are working to put in place a bank line for working capital, although that will take a bit of time to arrange.  We are also working to defer vendor payments over the next several weeks.  Our key focus remains getting IMI/Clear Sky closed.  Our deal team is in Columbus, Ohio meeting with AEP this week and our goal is to get a PSA signed with AEP by month end, then complete the project and close the sale and term financing in December!  I met with one of AEP's senior guys in Abilene last week - but for credit concerns over Enron Wind and Enron, he continues to say all the right things about the project purchase. Next step is to sign the PSA.  Adam

Quite frankly I am getting tired of memos like this!  There has not been a decision not to provide short-term liquidity for Enron Wind.  If there was I would have called.  Enron is in the midst of a liquidity crisis.  I need the support of the entire team as does Enron to help us get through this.  I need you to see the bigger picture and to think of ways that Wind can help.  I need cost reductions, improved cash flow and SUPPORT.

Subject:	Wind Company

While I understand that the Wind Co is clearly a "non-core" asset for Enron,  I am very concerned about the apparent decision in Houston not to provide short-term liquidity for our operations (I have heard that the wind co is on its own for cash  going forward). While I am probably more eager than anyone to have the Wind Co regain its financial independence, I can not do it overnight and am worried about the potentially devasting impact which a lack of short-term capital will have on our business and, quite directly, the value of this asset to Enron.

 As you know, our lenders on IMI/Clear Sky have refused to fund a construction loan (they will not take Enron equity bridge risk) - this construction loan was the most important piece of our working capital/cash funding for Q4.  AEP and its lenders on IMI/Clear Sky are also expressing serious concern about the Enron warranty guaranty (we will likely have to reserve cash to secure our warranty obligations, further exacerbating our cash position).  FPL and AEP have in essence put on hold their deals with Enron Wind pending some clarity on how Enron's liquidity difficulties may affect Enron Wind.  AEP has gone as far as saying the Enron Wind is probably BK without working capital support from Enron, and are understandably asking why should they be comfortable with our performance risk?  Our European vendors, still mindful of Tacke's bankruptcy in 1997, are extremely concerned about our financial condition.  And a number of our counterparties who owe us money but are also owed money by Enron affiliates are seeking to set-off those obligations.  While I will have better numbers over this weekend, without the IMI/Clear Sky construction loan, I will need between $30-35mm through the end of the year (until the AEP sale closes) in order to meet our working capital needs.  Without that support, I can almost guaranty you I will not be able to sell IMI/Clear Sky to AEP and am worried about our short-term financial survival.

Stan - this clearly has serious implications for the value of Enron Wind and our sales effort.  I am meeting again with my finance team (such as it is) over the weekend and on Monday morning.  I will set up some time with you on Monday or Tuesday to discuss.  I know there is no desire to support the Wind Co medium to long-term, but a decision to cut us off now could be fatal.

Adam


The attached draft reflects revisions made pursuant to our discussions with
FERC staff.  You will be receiving a hard copy of the tariff sheets
separately.

Please make sure you read the "Waivers" section towards the end of the
document as it contains some additional requests for waivers.

Also, there seems to be some confusion over whether we are going to post all
options, not just Shipper call options.  My previous drafts have provided for
posting of Shipper call options only.  All other types of options will be
generally available, on a nondiscriminatory basis, through our tariff.  My
thinking was that it is commercially impracticable to post the specifics of
all types of options, and it's not necessary since options will be noted on
our transaction reports required by Order 637.  Let me know what you think.

Let me know your comments as soon as possible.  I understand that the
Commercial Group told Stan Horton this would be filed this week and Shelley
reported at staff meeting on Monday that it would be filed this week or next
week.  As soon as I get everyone's comments we can get this finalized.

Thank you.

Steve,

I mentioned that my brother, an attorney in New York, is active in state
politics and might be a useful contact in the state. I'm following up with
this note to let you know a bit more about him.

Larry Mandelker is a partner with Kantor, Davidoff Wolfe Mandelker & Kass in
New York City. He is outside counsel to the Republican State Committee and
represented Bill Powers when he recently joined the Crane Group in Albany.
Larry works closely with the Crane Group's legal operation, Crane Green &
Parente, in many state matters.

There's another reason why I thought to mention Larry. He currently
represents Sunset Energy Fleet, a company managed by Jerry Montrose, which is
negotiating to win state permits for barge-mounted generation off of Brooklyn
as well as gas supply contracts. He knows exactly what the power industry
faces in New York.

If anyone would like to contact him, I'll forward that person's name to him.
I'll give you his telephone number, too --
212-682-8383 x 30 -- if you'd like to file it away.

Please let me know if there's any additional information you'd like to see.

Take care,
Jeannie

Justin, never got the fax could you resend it . Attached is our current
checklist of legal issues that we are incorporating into our timeline.

 Anyway if  may one more question.

 What  happens if you want to include a special condition in a
"Confirmation". Let me give an example a Goods and Services Tax will be
introduced  Australia in July 2000. We are a putting some wording in
confirmations as to what will happen if the published electricity index is
produced inclusive of GST. Clearly such a of a general  provision could
included in a revised version of the GTCs. But what happens if there is a
Master Agreement in place? Do you have to amendment to it before you can
trade?

On a more general level the more I see the more apparent it is that we should
be relying heavily on legal work already been done and merely vet it for
application to Australian laws.   Let me give an example. One area we have
identified requires work is that of establishing that EnronOnline complies
with requirements of our  Evidence Act. We are going have to establish to
potential counterparties that the system  can provide sufficient certainty as
the terms of a trade.  There must be evidence admissible in court  that  a
trade actually took place and what  version of the GTCs was were linked to a
particular product at a time.  For us to start looking at these issues from
scratch will be expensive and time consuming assuming we had a detailed
knowledge of the operation of the system. What I like to do arrange a time to
talk through your process. Are you free if I call you 10 am Thursday  ?

		 Subject: Direct Access op-ed in LA Daily News

Hello DA Coalition,

Great News - the Los Angeles Daily News has published the direct access
op-ed we submitted. The piece was authored by Marriott Hotels, a Strategic
Energy DA customer, and is attached below for those of you who haven't yet
seen it. It ran in Tuesday's edition of the paper.

This hit is extremely well placed given that a majority of the publication's
readership is actually in Bob Hertzberg's district.

Edelman is pushing forward with this op-ed and will keep you posted about
our progress with other publications.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. EM.

In following up on our brief conversation, I will need something for our

Thanks.

Just for the record, I just reviewed my "Jeff's Goals for 2001" that Paul and
I worked up, and "doing time for the company" didn't make the list this year.

Paul, I double-checked and "dating Loretta Lynch" is, likewise, not on the
list.

Best,
Jeff
