Below is a brief summary of the main issues regarding Direct Access.  We will continue to follow the progress on these issues and keep you updated.

Summary:
Direct access was designed to break utility monopolies and was a key component of California's 1996 deregulation law.  Under this concept, all customers could directly access an energy provider other than their regulated utility.  The debate over direct access is at the heart of a complicated attempt to solve California's costly power crisis.  It will determine whether businesses, with residential customers, pay for the bulk of the state's future energy purchases. It also could determine whether Southern California Edison, the state's cash-strapped No. 2 utility, will avoid bankruptcy, and whether deregulation will survive in any form.

Report:

Big businesses, free-market advocates and alternative energy providers have lobbied state legislators to find a way to keep so-called "direct access".  Now, as the state prepares to sell $13.4 billion in bonds to begin paying off its debt, legislators and energy officials say they must prevent big businesses from wiggling out of that obligation by closing off their direct-access escape route.  Regulators are concerned that if businesses flee the system, the state will be stuck with too much electricity under long-term electricity contracts through 2021.  That would mean residential ratepayers would be stuck paying the bulk of the $43 billion in future power costs, a point that has enraged consumer groups.  Currently, only about 88,000 customers buy their energy through direct access (per CEC statistics), including about 10,000 large commercial/industrial customers, and about 78,000 residences.  Alternative service providers shifted most of their customers back to California's primary utility suppliers (SoCal Ed., PG&E, SDG&E) earlier this year when prices skyrocketed and they could no longer compete with utility rates capped by the Legislature.

California legislators argue that direct access is the keystone of the latest Edison bailout plan, sponsored by Assembly Speaker Pro Tem Keeley. Under the plan, the 3,600 largest businesses would agree to pay $3.1 billion of Edison's debts over 15 years.  In exchange, businesses would be allowed to secure their own power contracts by 2003, but not without first paying an "exit fee."  The fees and which parties would be exempt remain undetermined, however, they would include a surcharge or a complicated calculation in which businesses would pay a percentage of future energy purchases.  It is likely that whatever compromise legislators are able to reach regarding direct access, California's business community will have extreme difficulty accepting the terms.

To ensure their efforts at resolving the direct access dilemma and abate fears of a collapsing state budget, lawmakers have gone so far as to introduce two bills, (one sponsored by Sen. Bowen and defeated in July, and a second by Assemblyman Dave Kelley,) that would rescind language in previous legislation that authorized the Public Utilities Commission to block direct access.  The California PUC has thus far stayed a decision on the matter, but is expected to rule by August 23rd.

Complicating the issue is Wall Street.  The state's bankers, led by J.P Morgan, are nervous about selling as much as $13.4 billion in planned state bonds if businesses (currently the largest ratepayers in the state, after governments) find a way out of the system.  The bonds are meant to repay the state for $8.2 billion in power-buying costs so far this year and to cover some future costs.  Business and residential electricity customers would repay the bonds through a surcharge on their utility bills.  If businesses were allowed to sign on with outside energy providers, that revenue stream would be in jeopardy.

		Internet Tip of the Day
		Thursday December 7, 2000

		Safe Cable and DSL

		One of the biggest problems with cable modems and DSL (and other '"always-on"
Internet options) is a static IP address (your computer's Internet address).
With a dial-up service, your IP address changes each time you log on. With
"always-on" service, your IP address doesn't change, which can make it an
inviting target for viruses and cybervandals. Lots of cable and DSL services
have pretty good firewalls, software that prevents unauthorized access to
your PC or network. If your ISP doesn't, you can add one yourself, but how do
you know if you're protected? Steve Gibson has the answer. Gibson Research
Corp (www.grc.com) specializes in computer security products and services.
One great feature of his Web site is his ShieldsUP! Page, which probes your
computer (harmlessly) and then tells you how vulnerable it is to attack and
what you need to do to secure it. I was pleased to find that my PC is pretty
secure from cyberattack, despite my cable modem.! If you need a firewall,
Steve has all the info you need. Be smart -- check your system's
vulnerability today.

Heather:

Here is an excerpt from a message in which Anita Fam replies to my inquiry:

Only 3 types of institutions have the capacity and authority to enter into
derivatives transactions in the PRC.  They are:
a. banks;
b. non-bank financial institutions ("NBFI"); and
c. foreign invested enterprises ("FIE").

Banks and NBFIs require banking licences and may only enter into derivative
transactions for hedging purposes.  FIEs comprise (i) wholly foreign owned
enterprises ("WFOE"); and (ii) sino-foreign owned joint ventures ("SFJV") and
include foreign banks, foreign finance companies and bank branches . There
are no specific restrictions for WFOEs but SFJVs may only enter into
derivative transactions for hedging purposes as well.    State-owned
enterprises and collectively-owned enterprises  can therefore only transact
through a duly authorised bank or NBFI.  So it looks as if China National Oil
Company (Corp.?) and China State Power Corp. do not have the capacity nor the
authority to enter into derivative transactions themselves in the PRC.

I have also found a copy of the results of some legal research we had done a
year or two ago on these issues.  If you or Cynthia would like to see it I'd
be happy to send a copy on.

Drop in Natural-Gas Prices May Be Good For Consumers but Hinder New Production
By Alexei Barrionuevo
Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal

10/02/2001
The Wall Street Journal

In the wake of last month's terrorist attacks, natural-gas prices have slid below $2 per million British thermal units, frustrating any hopes that prices will rebound this year to levels that would encourage more investment in natural-gas projects.
Analysts predict that with prices at current levels, projects to bring more liquefied natural gas into the U.S. could be shelved or canceled.
Natural-gas prices, which reached highs of nearly $10 per million BTUs last December, had held to around $3 to $5 per million BTUs for much of the year. At $2 per million BTUs and below, producers have a hard time justifying exploration and new production.
Analysts blamed the drop on weak industrial demand, fueled by the struggling chemicals and metals industries and by weaker electric-utility demand. Nearby November futures fell 36 cents yesterday to $2.208 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
In the Boston area, however, different concerns could lead to higher prices for that region. Last week, the U.S. Coast Guard, under pressure from local lawmakers, indefinitely banned LNG tankers from entering Boston Harbor. LNG makes up 15% of New England's gas supply and nearly half of its supply on very cold days. The Coast Guard and Department of Transportation are studying concerns that a LNG tanker could become a bomb for terrorists.
Already, relative to other areas, natural-gas prices have inched higher in New England, where natural-gas pipeline constraints have long hampered the market. The spread between prices in New England and the Gulf Coast widened last week by 30 cents to $1.30 per million BTUs, said a spokeswoman for Distrigas, a unit of Belgium's Tractebel SA. But the lack of LNG isn't likely to become a big issue until winter hits and natural-gas storage is used up.
Richard Grant, CEO of Distrigas, says LNG has a 30-year safety record at the company's Everett, Mass., terminal. While LNG is flammable, he says it is unlikely to explode. He adds that "there are a lot of things being said right now that are just not factual. But until we answer the concerns, we won't be able to bring a ship in here."
Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown was among several brokerage firms downgrading fourth-quarter projections for natural-gas prices last week. "Prior to Sept. 11, we were seeing signs that a lot of industrial demand was coming back," said Jay Saunders, a Deutsche Banc analyst. "But all that is out the window now." Deutsche Banc is now estimating a 20% drop in winter demand in the industrial sector, which accounts for more than a quarter of total U.S. natural-gas consumption. The slack demand has resulted in supplies that have practically overflowed storage, which is on pace to be full by the end of October.
While prices that are close to historical levels are good for consumers, such low prices could scare many producers away from making investments to ensure future natural-gas demand is met. Lower prices have already led energy companies to slow their drilling and some firms, such as EOG Resources Inc., plan to moderate production in the next two months. Gas drilling-rig counts fell to 953 last week from 1,030 at the end of August.
Even with the increased natural-gas drilling of earlier this year, overall natural-gas supply is expected to increase just 1% this year, as the country's mature wells continue to be depleted faster than companies can replace them. The tight supply picture has analysts optimistic that prices will rebound next year amid lower interest rates, increased defense and relief spending and returning consumer confidence.
Still, the downturn could cause some firms to rethink or postpone projects to import gas in a liquid form. With prices high last winter, El Paso Corp. and Enron Corp., among others, said they would build a dozen or so receiving terminals for liquefied natural gas, which is gas compressed and frozen to minus-260 degrees Fahrenheit. "You will see some cancellations and some delays," predicts Marshall Adkins, an analyst with Raymond James & Associates in Houston.
Natural-gas prices need to average $3 per million BTUs on the East Coast and $3.50 on the West Coast to justify bringing in LNG to those areas, said Ronald Barone, an analyst with UBS Warburg.
A spokeswoman for El Paso, Houston, says the company is moving forward with at least three terminals for the U.S. market. Enron said it is also pushing ahead with a terminal in the Bahamas that would pipe the gas to Florida starting in 2004.

Enron leases part of Mumbai estate to Citibank
Freny Patel MUMBAI

10/02/2001
Business Standard

Copyright (c) Business Standard

After months of scouting for a buyer for its one lakh square feet office space at Wockhardt Towers in Bandra-Kurla Complex, Enron has been able lease out 10,000 square feet of it to Citibank NA.
Against an expected realisation from Rs 130 crore for the outright sale of its four floors, Enron will get around Rs 1.2 crore a year by leasing out one floor to Citibank.
The deal was struck recently by the global real estate consultant, Cushman & Wakefield, at a monthly rental of Rs 100 per square foot.
With property prices in Mumbai having slumped and with no reprieve expected in the
short run, companies are increasingly opting to lease space instead of blocking funds in illiquid assets.
Property consultants say that if Enron manages to lease out the entire four floors, it will be easier for it to sell the property to a buyer, as the buyer would be assured of a fixed income.
Enron had eyed a deal of Rs 130 crore when it mandated global real estate consultants to sell the premises at around Rs 12,000 per square foot.
This is despite the fact that real estate at Bandra Kurla currently fetches Rs 8,000 to Rs 9,000 per square feet. In June 2000, the US energy giant had shelled out Rs 125.75 crore when it acquired the four floors, plus car park space, from Wockhardt, the pharmaceutical company.
The deal was struck at Rs 10,500 per sq ft, and included parking space for 101 cars.
Industry sources said that Enron had spent a sum close to Rs 150 crore to acquire the property, and pay for the interior furnishings of two of the four floors it had acquired.
In order for it to break even, it would have had to sell its real estate at the rate of Rs 13,000 per square foot.
Four to five global real estate consultants have been appointed by Enron for the sale of its premises. A leading consultant said that it has been difficult to find any buyers for such a large property.
"Most international buyers prefer to take property on lease instead of an outright purchase," he added.
Moreover, the inefficiency of the building in terms of the super built-up area is another reason why corporate entities are not too eager to acquire the premises, and Enron's proposition continues to go abegging, said the consultant.

Carly Fiorina Tops FORTUNE's List of 50 Most Powerful Women in Business for Fourth Year

10/01/2001
Business Wire
(Copyright (c) 2001, Business Wire)

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 1, 2001--

Lower-Profile Women Topple More Well-known Names From Tech and
Internet Sector; Ranking Includes 14 Newcomers

Though Hewlett-Packard lost $65 billion in market value in a year, CEO Carly Fiorina hasn't lost her nerve, and for the fourth consecutive year holds the No. 1 position on FORTUNE's ranking of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business.
The complete list and accompanying stories are in the October 15 issue of FORTUNE, available on newsstands October 8 and at www.fortune.com at 12:00 p.m. on October 1.
In the No. 2 spot is eBay CEO Meg Whitman, who runs an Internet company that actually makes money: $85 million in the last four quarters on $582 million in revenue. Oprah Winfrey, the Queen of Media, is mightier than ever, and holds the No. 3 spot, up from No. 15 last year. She produces movies, brings comfort and advice to millions of TV viewers, propels books to bestsellerdom, and, last year, teamed up with Hearst Magazines' Cathie Black (No. 28 on the list) to publish O, The Oprah Magazine-by some measures the most successful magazine startup ever. At No. 4 is Andrea Jung, Chairman and CEO of Avon, who has breathed life into ailing Avon. Mirant CEO Marce Fuller-the only newcomer in the top five-holds the No. 5 position. Inside a stodgy utility, Southern, Fuller built a high-growth trading and marketing unit, which was spun off in April.
In these new, more tempered times, patience may be about to reap its reward. In FORTUNE's annual survey of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business, there is a clear emergence of women who came to power slowly. Says FORTUNE senior writer Pattie Sellers in "Patient But Not Passive," the story that accompanies the list, "By patience, we mean staying with a company, steadily building influence there, and rising to power through determination and insider knowledge, not promises and self-promotion."
Fiorina, who has claimed the top spot each year since FORTUNE's inaugural list in 1998, heads the biggest company ($48 billion in revenues last year) run by a woman. And she is still as audacious and impatient as ever. Wall Street practically heckled her latest move-a bold bet to buy Compaq-but Fiorina, 47, remains defiant. In difficult times, "people who drive change are the subject of great scrutiny," she says.
As always, the list is a snapshot of power at a moment in time. Last year, power resided in the technology and Internet sectors, but that influence was fleeting. Gone from the list this year: Deborah "Hurricane Debby" Hopkins, who pushed her agenda too ambitiously at Lucent and lost her CFO job in May; Ellen Hancock, who failed at the startup, Exodus; and Morgan Stanley's Mary Meeker, who influenced so many to buy into the Internet fizz. But one Web warrior looks better than ever: Meg Whitman, No. 2 on the list. She has never overpromised to investors; instead she has diligently delivered above-target profits every single quarter.
Fourteen newcomers join the list this year: Marce Fuller, President & CEO, Mirant; Louise Kitchen, COO, Enron Americas; Colleen Barrett, President & COO, Southwest Airlines; Betsy Bernard, President & CEO, AT&T Consumer; Anne Stevens, VP, North America Vehicle Operations, Ford Motor; Maria Elena Lagomasino, Chairman & CEO, J. P. Morgan Private Bank; Susan Desmond-Hellman, EVP and Chief Medical Officer, Genentech; Janet Robinson, SVP, Newspaper Operations, New York Times Co.; Carol Tomi, EVP and CFO, Home Depot; Carrie Cox, EVP and President, Global Prescriptions, Pharmacia; Carole Black, President and CEO, Lifetime Television Networks; Janet Davidson, Group President, Integrated Network Solutions, Lucent; Larree Renda, EVP, Retail Operations, Safeway; and Louise Francesconi, VP and GM, Missile Systems, Raytheon.
While the economy and its points of power change, the criteria we use to evaluate power remains the same. Says Sellers: "We consider the size and importance of a woman's business in the global economy, her clout inside her company, and the arc of her career-where she has been and where she is likely to go. When appropriate, we also weigh the woman's influence on mass culture and society. That factor lifts Oprah Winfrey to No. 3 on this year's list." The shifts on our list this year are dramatic, with 14 newcomers. But one trend is especially intriguing: Women are taking on bigger businesses than ever. A few years ago, responsibility for a $3 billion business almost automatically earned a woman a spot on this list. No more. This year's FORTUNE 50 includes several women who lead businesses with annual revenues of $20 billion or more, which is a first.
In a related story, "It Took a Lady To Save Avon," Katrina Brooker looks at Andrea Jung, Chairman and CEO of Avon. Says Brooker, "Jung knows what women want and how to sell it to them. And that's what has made her one of the most successful CEOs-male or female-in recent years." Over the past 20 months she has overhauled nearly everything about the way Avon does business: how it advertises, manufactures, packages, and even sells its products, and she has done it not by abandoning the seemingly outdated Avon Lady, but by reviving her. The result: growth in revenues, operating profits, and operating margins.
In addition, FORTUNE includes an international list of the 50 powerful women in business. The top ten, featured in the magazine, are Marjorie Scardino, CEO, Pearson (Britain); Anne Lauvergeon, Chairman, Areva (France); Mary Ma, Senior VP & CFO, Legend (Hong Kong); Marianne Nivert, President & CEO, Telia (Sweden); Lien Siaou-Sze, Vice President, Hewlett-Packard (Hong Kong); Patricia Barbizet, CEO, Artemis (France); Eiko Kono, President, Recruit (Japan): Belinda Stronach, CEO, Magna International (Canada); Marina Berlusconi, Vice Chairman, Fininvest (Italy); Christine Tsung, President & CEO, China Airlines (Taiwan).

Doug,

I feel we should arrange to cancel the contract formally for good records.

All the people I knew in HMPC have already left the company.  Understand the
plant been sold!!

Nicor Petroleum - been re-organized, all the personnel who was involved in
the fuel contract have also left the company.

I will also be leaving Enron at the end of the year for retirement.

Enron Fuels International (EFI) has a long term gasoil supply agreement with
HMPC which has not been used for several years. What is the current and
future status of the plant? If the plant is not going to operate and not need
liquid fuel deliveries, then I need someone within HMPC to send a formal
notice to EFI cancelling the fuel supply contract. We have requested this
several times over the past few years to no avail.


I'll work on it today!

The following day ahead tag# 24395 for the 11th was denied by WACM because it was submitted after the 3:00pdt tag deadline.  Tag# 24365 was the predecessor and was approved by WACM.  Still, WACM refuses to approve TAG#24395.  Please copy this tag and submit it as a real-time schedule on the 11th.  Sorry for the inconvenience I received ZERO cooperation from the control areas.   Please check out with each control area when submitting the new tag.  Per Mary at WACM, I could not tag this schedule day ahead.

Gary,

The only suggestion I have for the letter involves your reference to the FTR
Auction.  I would propose that you revise 2(b) of the letter to read as
follows:

b. Has the CalPX made any attempts to have the ISO apply the approximately
$80 million in proceeds from the ISO's recent Firm Transmission Right auction
to PG&E and Edison's ISO real-time charges incurred while the CalPX was
acting as Scheduling Coordinator for the two utilities?

Here is the original sentence:  "b. Has the CalPX credited the $80,000,000 in
auction revenue for the Firm Transmission Rights from the auction held in
January in any of these chargeback calculations?"

The FTR proceeds are held by the ISO, not the PX, making it impossible for
the PX to credit the IOUs for these amounts.

ASK THE FOOL

-- Q. I'm interested in REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts),
but I don't understand what "FFO" refers to. Can you explain?

-- A. REITs look and act much like ordinary stocks, but peek
under their hoods and you'll see a different kind of company.
REITs typically own many properties, such as offices, hotels or
apartments. With most companies, net income is a useful number
to evaluate, reflecting the profits left over from sales after
all expenses have been subtracted. With REITs, though, net
income isn't as meaningful.

According to accounting rules, the value of REIT properties is
decreased over time, with depreciation charged against net
income, reducing it. In reality, however, these properties are
probably not falling in value and may even be appreciating. So a
REIT's net income tends to understate its health. This is why,
with REITs, you should look at the "funds from operation," or
FFO, instead. They ignore the effect of depreciation and other
non-cash charges to help you see a REIT's true performance.

-- Q. I often see S&P futures referred to on CNBC. Can you
explain what futures are and why they're important?

-- A. Futures are typically for commodities like lumber,
soybeans and orange juice. They represent contracts between two
parties to buy or sell a certain amount for a specified price at
a set future date. (Fail to pay attention, and you risk having
to take delivery of truckloads of pork bellies!)

With S&P 500 futures, each day the party who bet wrong is
obligated to pony up cash based on the price of the S&P 500.
Futures are bought by some investors to protect themselves
against unfavorable price swings or by speculators betting on
where the market is going. They can be very risky.

Un-Foolish short-term investors pay a lot of attention to S&P
futures, as they can indicate the market's likely moves before
trading begins for the day. We don't fret about futures, though,
remembering that for most of this century, the S&P 500 has
advanced about 11 percent per year, on average.

_________________________________________________________________

INVESTING BASICS - DEBATING DEBT

Many investors think that debt on a company's balance sheet is a
red flag. In truth, though, debt can be both bad and good.

First, the bad. If a company is saddled with a lot of debt, it's
locked into interest payments that it must make. If it doesn't
have the cash to cover these at any point, it's in deep doodoo.
Many individuals can probably relate to this, having experienced
the dark side of debt when racking up charges on credit cards.

Now, the good. Consider that most people would never be able to
buy their homes without debt. Without car and school loans, many
of us would probably be driving used cars and taking
correspondence courses we found on matchbook covers.

Debt can be a boon for businesses, too. Many great companies,
such as Federal Express and the Walt Disney Co., came to life
because of early loans to their founders. Established companies
can make good use of debt, as well, borrowing to expand
operations and grow business. Interest payments also decrease a
company's taxable income, as they're deductible. Investors
willing to consider companies with debt need to evaluate whether
the debt taken on is manageable and whether the capital raised
and invested is earning more than it costs.

Perhaps you're worried about the debt load of
Fingernail-on-Blackboard Car Alarm Co. (ticker: AIEEE). Glance
at the notes in the annual report and you may find that the
effective interest rate for its debt is just 5 percent. If AIEEE
is putting the borrowed funds to work earning say, 8 percent,
then things aren't so bad.

When companies need money, they typically have two main choices:
They can issue more stock or debt. Issuing stock can dilute the
value of existing shares. Issuing debt can sometimes be more
efficient, as its after-tax cost can be much cheaper than
equity. All things being equal, though, we prefer to see little
debt on a balance sheet.

Companies that can grow without using debt or issuing extra
stock are in a more powerful position than other firms. Still,
you needn't balk at the first sight of debt. Just evaluate it
carefully.

We would love to see all three of you.  Sounds as if you might arrive on
Friday around 5:00 or 6:00, so we will plan on dinner together.  You can see
the kitchen in progress!!  The upstairs is untouched, however, so you can
make yourselves at home.  I will let everyone know tonight, and they will all
be glad to see you.

I haven't talked with Cara since the weekend, so I didn't know that she might
change her plans.  I will try to catch her tonight.

Just let me know on the $'s.  I can send that whenever you might need it.
And I would suggest that we start a repay program after another few months as
you all get caught up on other things.  No rush.

Love, Sally

Hi Mr. Stelzer l-

I don't believe Ken has had an opportunity to review the suggestions in your
outline.  He has a huge stack of mail he hasn't gotten to yet.  Hopefully, by

Thanks.

Dear Mark,

As per our discussion at the law conference and my voice mail to you earlier
this week,  attached is Leona Tan's resume.  Please let me know if I can
assist you further in this regard.  All the best!

I have moved all Portland docs (the ones that we discussed) to the Portland
Financial Trading Agreements db.  Check out the database and make sure that I
got all PGE docs and then we can forward an email to users.

We usually have seven ports, but tomorrow there are only six ports

seven ports.  Thanks, Suzanne (x37340)


Ladies,

Looks we have been assigned Counterparties to work on.  I would like to have a triparty meeting this week so that we will be taking our respective projects toward the same "north star". Thus, by copying this to Becky, I'm asking her to set up a meeting between the 3 of us to discuss our approaches to the EWS Trading Contracts we have been assigned..
Surely we'll have success with humor doing our tasks in an efficient manner. Two more organized and resourceful partners I could not identify.......bng


When I was at the site it said that it had sent a new password to me at
kay.mann@enron.com.  Didn't get here.  I give up.

Subject: Fwd: Supreme Court Action in FERC Cases

In case you haven't heard, the Supreme Court has granted cert of our and the
state of New York's cert petitions on the extent of FERC's jurisdiction over
transmission facilities.

Subject: Fwd: Supreme Court Action in FERC Cases
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=_570CFA0B.E081E8A6"

Attached is Lou Cohen's (of Wilmer Cutler) write up of the Supreme Court's
grant of two petitions for certiorari in the appeals of FERC's Order No. 888
on transmission open access.  While too much should never be read into a
grant of certiorari, this seems to be auspicious for Enron and to validate
Joe's conclusion that it would be imprudent for Enron to rest on its victory
in the court of appeals and not oppose proactively New York, et al. who are
asking the Court to expand the native load exception.  It should also be
noted that the broadside against FERC's authority to act (the Dalton cert.
petition), which Enron took the lead in opposing, was rejected outright.
Enron's brief is due in 45 days.  Joe and I shall meet with Lou early next
week to get this process started.  Please call me if you have any questions.

Here is a  summary.? I included the cites just in case.? Let me know if you
need  more.
?
The Supreme Court  today granted two petitions for certiorari to review the
D.C. Circuit's decision  in Transmission Access Policy Study Group v. FERC,
225 F.3d 667  (2000).? The Court granted the petition of New York and other
states (New  York?v. FERC, No. 00-568)) to consider?whether FERC may preempt
state  jurisdiction over transmission of energy from generators to retail
customers in  the same state.? (The Court declined other questions?New
York?had  raised.)? The Court also granted the petition of Enron Power
Marketing,  Inc. (EPMI v. FERC, No. 00-809) to consider whether FERC has
jurisdiction to  regulate all transmission in interstate commerce, including
transmission for  bundled retail sales, and whether FERC is obligated under
the Federal Power Act  to eliminate undue discrimination by requiring
transmission-owning utilities to  provide service on the same terms to all
users, including bundled retail  sales.? The cases will be argued together,
probably not before October  2001.


Sally,

I just saw the announcement and wanted to offer my comgratualtions.  I think
that's great.  I have always admired your leadership and clear thinking.  I'm
glad Enron recognizes your contributions.

Hey Shorty,

I am glad to hear that today is going a little better.  We are getting a tad
busy.  I hope the beers were good last night, and I thought about a couple of
cold ones as Darren and I were getting finished around 1:30 this morning.  A
drink sounds good but I may be leaving for Austin tomorrow night after work
to pick up my friend Mark at the Austin airport (I'll find out later tonight)
and if that is the case then we'll get one next week.  I think the story
below is funny.  I'll talk to you later when I get a better sense of what is
going on.

Subject: I'm such a rule breaker...

Hey Pavarotti,

Hope you day is going well and that everything is coming together for the big
presentation tomorrow.  My day is going significantly better than yesterday
so I am pleased.  Plus, my friend just emailed me from San Diego to inform me
that she can get us a great table to see the Symphony's last performance of
the season on Navy Pier...so I've got that going for me, which is nice.  By
the way, what did you end up deciding to do about this weekend - or haven't
you decided yet (the latter would not surprise me in the least...you're a fly
by the seat of your pants kind of guy or a slight procrastinator - - I always
get the two confused).

Now for the rule-breaking.  I realize it's already Wednesday but I wanted to
see if you had any interest in going to grab a bite to eat or just a drink
after work tomorrow or Friday night (in light of our heavy work loads, etc. I
hope you can forgive my rudeness).  Both you and Darren looked pretty whipped
last night and I'm sure tonight will be more of the same...You better be
careful, I think this project is starting to give you gray hair.

Shorty

- - I forgot to tell you last night that my 5 yr. old niece got in trouble on
the way to school yesterday because she punched a little boy in the eye.
Evidently, he was bothering she and her friend Reagan...I think my sister's
biggest fears have now been confirmed, little Sally may have taken after her
Aunt Sue Sue a little too much.


I have been able to move up the meeting with Mark Frevert regarding
responsibility for operations for ENA, EGM and EEL to Thursday, August 17
instead of August 28.   I will keep you posted.

I met with Brent's direct reports yesterday afternoon and announced Brent's
new role.  I will have three persons leading the natural gas team:  Steve
Jackson, Leslie Reeves and Bob Hall.  I am confident that this will work
well.


yes you are

Subject: SPA: Illinois Project Entities

Kay:

As we discussed, I have been working with a counterparty interested in
purchasing one or both of ENA's Illinois development project LLC's.  The
counterparty is listed below:
  PSEG Americas Development Company, L.L.C.
  35 Waterview Blvd.
  Parsippany, NJ  94105

The key points of the proposed transaction are:

1.  The transaction would be an outright purchase of 100% of the member
interests in one or both of the following project entities:

 Kendall New Century Development, L.L.C.
 Titan Land Development Company, L.L.C.

2.  The purchase price of 100% of the member interests would be:

 Kendall New Century Development, L.L.C.: $3,000,000.00
 Titan Land Development Company, L.L.C.: $6,000,000.00

Lisa Mellancamp was the ENA attorney who handled the CA between ENA and PSEG
before Christmas.  At the end of November, Lisa engaged Corey Brown at
Bracewell & Patterson to handle the preparation of a draft Securities
Purchase Agreement in conjunction with our discussions with Coastal Power.
Corey prepared a draft SPA based upon an option to purchase structure, but
Coastal Power backed away from the transaction in early December.

I have received a letter from PSEG Power LLC indicating their interest in
proceeding with a transaction in the near future.  I will forward you a copy
of this letter for your records.  They have verbally indicated that the
Purchase Price(s) of $3 MM and $6 MM respectively, are acceptable to them.

I believe that this is the appropriate time to bring you into the process and
transfer things from Lisa to yourself.  Please call me to discuss the SPA
once you have reviewed the appropriate documents.  I will be in Chicago
tomorrow.  I can be reached by cell at (713) 412-4612 or leave me a
voicemail.  I will be in the Houston office by noon on Friday.

Thanks,
Fred


Thanks for the input, Rob.  Julia has already gone through the Enron Europe and Enron Wind interview processes.  She speaks excellent English, as well as German.  In addition to myself and Chris Wood, she was interviewed by an Enron Wind German lawyer (who has left and she is replacing), an Enron Corp. German lawyer, and by a German lawyer from Punder.  The feedback is unanimously positive.  I think I have run all of the interview traps in Europe, and am confident that she will be a real asset to our department and to the Enron Wind Europe team.


Here is what is going on with CDWR tomorrow as best I can put it together now.

Richard Sanders, Gary Fergus and I, with Elizabeth Sager available by phone,
are going to meet in Sacramento with the General Counsel of CDWR, two other
attornies and their outside counsel by phone.  The meeting is scheduled for
approx. 2:00 p.m. through 5:00 p.m.

We are going to be trying to get CDWR to negotiate and sign the EEI agreement
we sent to them as part of our RFB package.  We are also going to have our
block forward positions documented in a Confirmation Letter under the EEI
agreement and will ask them to negotiate and sign this letter too.  Finally,
we will give them a document which we will suggest they use to go to the
banks which are holding the LC's related to the block forward trades, which
document will facilitate the transfer of the LC's to CDWR's bank.

The following people have been working together on various aspects of these
negotiations, and may I suggest that the these people try to coordinate their
efforts tomorrow morning as follows to help us when we get to the negotiation
table:

Shari Stack is going to prepare the Confirmation Letter showing our block
forward trades.  Monica Lande will confirm the positions and Steve Hall is
going to help Shari make sure the Confirm is ready to fax to me in Sacramento
around noon.  Elizabeth is going to help us get appropriate language in the
Confirm to address the situation that would arise if the transfer of the
block forward trades ever falls apart.

John Klauberg, working with Pat Boylston,  is going to provide us with a
Regulatory Out Clause for our EEI  agreement.  John, please e'mail the clause
to Pat, Elizabeth and Steve Hall.  Steve, please coordinate any comments on
the clause and get it ready to fax to me by noon.

Please communicate to me tomorrow morning through Steve Hall,  503-464-7795,
or my pager at 800-449-7147.  Thanks. ----cgy

I hope this email finds you well. ?Don't know if you remember me exactly;
however, I worked at Enron for 4 years, working closely with the
Associate/Analyst Program under Charlene Jackson. ?I had to spread my wings
a bit and flew to Reliant Energy to further enhance my career.

As a former Enron employee, I know Enron-candidate material! ?I would like
to submit, confidentially of course, a resume on AJ McCormac. ?AJ is
currently the Executive Director for Workforce Planning (HR) here at
Reliant. ?She is very interested in opportunities at Enron and has the
"right stuff" to compliment your strategic direction and objectives for
Human Resources. ?I am confident that after just a few minutes with AJ you
will quickly recognize her superior expertise.

Realizing how expensive executive search firms can be, advice from a Enron
fan is free.

Thank you for your time and consideration. ?If you would like to contact
her directly here at Reliant, her number 713-207-7162.

Hi Vince,

I may have missed something, however don't believe I have received any
communication recently from Andy Festow about this upcoming May 4-5 corp.
fin. conference.  I hope he is still planning to come, yet I don't know as
of now.

I have Andy penciled in as a participant on a "panel" that is discussing
equity dilution from stock option compensation (the role of panelist should
require little, if any, preparation time).   Of course, I want Andy to
come, however he is concerned about his ability to attend, I probably
should identify another person or two to serve on the panel.

Hi Ben,

No problem if you want to invoice me.  I'm not ready for you to ship the
goods to me, though, and probably won't be for a few weeks, as I move into
the new digs.  Still thinking about the lamp and desk.....

the dragonfly table (I already sold the other one), the pair of Guimard

1. Galle "saggitaire" tri-cornered table, which has been sold (blame my dad)
2. the Tiffany lotus bell lamp, which was 59,000 and we told you 52.
3. The very tall Rozenburg iris vase, which was 14,000 and we told you 12.
4. The Rozenburg with 2 butterflies that looks like Gustav Klimt, $6,500 to
$5,750.
5. The Mougin ceramic of 3 mice and a bug, 1,950-1,700
6. The Galle desk that has waited for you 95-79 and that's a lot of love.

what do you think?

Dear Jeff:

Hello! I wanted to make a bill for you for  the table and ceramic pieces,
is that ok?

Can you be in Washington on October 28?   There's a great day-long
symposium in conjunction with the Art Nouveau show  (which I saw on Friday,
and which is, incidentally, much bigger and better than  the one in London
was) which I'm going to, and I would love to be able to tour  around the
show with you. Also, Macklowe Gallery is having a cocktail  party that
night for our clients, friends, experts, and assorted fabulous  hangers-on.
You'll get an invite in the mail, but I wanted to give  you advance notice
since I know how hectic your schedule is.

I hope it was an easy and meaningful fast for you,  and that this year
brings you happiness beyond your wildest  imagination.
Tell me what's up
love.

I tried logging in to corp, but it failed because it prompted for new

technicians, so that I may call them from my house when I try to log in.

Also, the guys set up a hub for my desktop and laptop.  How do I have the
