pandect (PAN-dekt) noun

   1. A comprehensive digest or complete treatise.

   2. pandects. A complete body of laws; a legal code.

   3. Pandects. A digest of Roman civil law, compiled for the emperor
      Justinian in the sixth century A.D. and part of the Corpus Juris
      Civilis. In this sense, also called Digest.

[Latin pandectes, encyclopedia, from Greek pandektes, all-receiving : pan-,
 + dektes, receiver (from dekhesthai, to receive, accept).]

   "These phenomena were memorialized in the novels of Zola, themselves
   accumulations between covers of a vast aggregation of sedulously
   recorded trivia. Flaubert had his contemporaries' number, however.
   Looking askance at this pretence to pandects, the empirical mastering
   of all knowledge on a given topic and the boiling it down to easily
   swallowed doses, he reduced it to absurdity in his savant idiots
   Bouvard and Pecuchet."
   Laurence Senelick, Double Vision: Second Empire Theatre in Stereographs,
   Theatre Research International, Spring 1999.

This week's theme: words about books and writing.

.............................................................................
The difference in mind between man and the higher animals, great as it is,
certainly is one of degree and not of kind. -Charles Darwin, naturalist and
author (1809-1882) [The Descent of Man]

see the evergreen flag applied here.  Please apprise if you can extend the
ticket for this small amount for 3/1/2000 or if you want it handled
differently.

Ben, please find attached an O&M cost estimate for one oil fired 6 x 1
LM6000PC power project located in Homestead, FL. The estimate assumes 1,400
run hours in simple cycle during the first year (without SCR) and 2,500 run
hours in combined cycle for years 2+, with SCR. Given that it's combined
cycle in years 2+, the staffing plan is assuming year round availability
needs (except for agreed upon Scheduled Outages). Please note the increase in
GT Major Scheduled Maintenance costs due to liquid firing.

Please review it and let me know if you have questions or comments.

Mark and Tom, sorry for the short notice. Can you please review and provide
comment, particularly on the proposed staffing plan and Operator fees?

regards, Scot


Let's see.  Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought I heard Jeff say "let me
know if there is anything I can do to help" get those invoices out.

Run that through the Chris translator and I would interpret that to mean "I
welcome the opportunity to learn more about the CES sales/purchase contract
and would be overjoyed at pricing the 30 plus 1st of the month pricing

Mark Haedicke approved the hiring of King & Spalding for this matter.  I will
drop Mr. Derrick a voice mail, but I would faint if he objected.

John, we need to talk about the sale of the LLC, and the generation of a
draft doc re same.  Please let me know if you are available today to discuss
this transaction with Sr. Jacoby and me.  Additionally, it would be helpful
to discuss the tolling arrangement with Ken.

Thanks,

Ben,
Are you loking more for focused refresher work?
I can certainly try and get something set up. The main problem I may have is
staffing.
I will send out an email to my GMAT instructors and find out if my really
good teachers have any time outside of their jobs and teaching. Evenings are
best? How about your weekends? When are you planning on re-testing?
I will return your call as soon as I can. We are a little short staffed so I
am on the phone a bit more than normal.
Thanks!

One of Market Risk's primary responsibilities is to review Enron's trading
activities and provide feedback to management, and management's expectation
is that this is feedback and analysis is provided at the beginning of the
Houston trading day.  Global Risk Management Operations in Houston is now
providing Market Risk with a Enron Consolidated Preliminary DPR prior to 8
a.m. Houston time, for use in Market Risk's morning meeting where we review
all of Enron's trading activities from the prior day.  The only information
missing from this is the UK, and I understand we do not receive the London
DPR until 10:30a.m, 4:30pm your time.
I'm sure you're working toward obtaining a final DPR earlier in the day, but
meanwhile, we'd like to obtain a preliminary DPR that Global Ops can
consolidate for Houston management's use first thing in the morning, as
decisions need to be made each day based on Enron's consolidated exposure,
etc..   We understand they're preliminary, but we work off preliminary #s
from Houston, and I expect with the 6 hour time difference, your preliminary
#s will be much firmer than ours.  We can start with just P/L and VaR, so
it's not that many #s we need.  I'm hoping when we get the RisktRAC feeds
complete we'll be able to see positions earlier as well.

Please let us know when we can begin receiving this information.

Thank you,

Yes, this is issue is still around.

Thomas, I had some correspondence faxed to you today.  In it SW is clearly
taking the position that the damage to the generator occured after delivery
under the contract.  I thought you addressed that well in your memo, however,
I have another question.  What impact does the use of DDP (Incoterms) have?
Is it just one more part of the contract to be taken as a whole, or might it
have some greater significance?

Will the passage of ROL impact the LD claim?  I assume not, but I want a
sanity check.

Genco is a subsidiary of A, a registered holding company under the 1935 Act.

Under Section 6 of the 1935 Act, companies in a registered system (that is,
Genco and A) require SEC approval to issue and sell securities.

A has an existing basket of authority, up to approximately $440 million,
under can issue and sell securities and/or provide credit support to finance
the acquistion and operations of EWGs such as the Peakers.

If A wishes to increase that authority, the SEC will require letters from
each of A's retail regulators (Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia,
Virginia and Ohio).  The question is not whether A can obtain those letters;
rather, the issue is one of timing, in particular, the potential delay
associated with the state processes.

In contrast, no state letters are required for Genco to increase its
financing authority.  Further, the application and review process should be
very straightforward given the financial strength of Genco and the A system
generally.

A final concern is the potential for delay associated with any regulatory
process.  This concern can be best addressed by establishing a deadline for
fiiling a "complete" application, ensuring that we have the opportunity to
review and comment on any submissions and, off the record, by our discussions
with the SEC staff.

Hope this is helpful.

Best

May 7, 2001

______________________________________________________________________________

The expiration date for the June 2001 options contract for Silver (SO M1) and

engaged in trading activity on Expiration Day in the expiring options
contract will be required to have a knowledgeable, duly authorized on-line
trade entry (&OLTE8) system trained representative available until released
by the Exchange staff.  All adjustments  and/or corrections, must be
accompanied by relevant supporting documentation prior to being incorporated
into expiration processing.  In essence, making the expiration processing an
extension of the afternoon trade resolution procedures.

Exchange Clearing (299-2110) and Trade Processing (299-2465 and 299-2044)
personnel will be available to assist with the processing of notices of
Exercise and Abandonment, position transfers, trade corrections and other

procedures as outlined herein may result in severe disciplinary action by the
Exchange and potential financial liability to customers or members for
failure to exercise diligence in the processing of information.

TRADING FLOOR OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES

Trading in the June 2001 Silver and Gold Options Contracts will cease at 2:25
P.M. and 2:30 P.M. respectively on May 11, 2001.  All Brokers and Traders
must inform their Clearing Members of their intentions to exercise or abandon
such Options by 4:00 P.M.

On Friday, May 11, 2001, all Brokers and Clearing Members must have a duly
authorized, On-Line Trade Entry (&OLTE8) system trained representative
available until such time as the Exchange deems necessary.

NOTE: After 4:30 P.M. all expiring option trade data must be inputted on
special &OLTE8 terminals located in the Trade Processing Room. Any other
means of submission will be rejected by the Exchange.  Members will be able

displayed, Clearing Member representatives will be able to pick up their
Preliminary Clearing reports at the Clearing Department.

A final review of all submissions will be made, the Supervisor of the Trade
Processing Room will detain only those Clearing Members and/or Broker
representatives involved.  All final corrections will be made at this time
and upon determination of the Supervisor that all option processing is
complete, all representatives will be released.

Exchange Reports based on Friday,s submissions and processing will be
available on Monday morning May 14, 2001.

In the event that you have any questions regarding the foregoing trading
floor procedures please contact Michael Campanelli at (212) 299-2072 or David
Sherman at (212) 299-2061.

CLEARING DEPARTMENT OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES

1. OPEN POSITION CONFIRMATION (&OPC8) - The OPC should reflect as accurately
as possible all futures and options gross positions as of close-of business
on the business day prior to expiration.  Review the estimated current gross
positions as shown and make appropriate adjustments.  The OPC must be
submitted not later than 9:00 AM.

2.   OPTIONS EXERCISE/ABANDONMENT REQUEST FORM (&E/A8) - An expiring option
with a strike price in-the-money by one tick or more will be subject to
automatic exercise unless an Option Abandonment Request form is submitted
advising that a Clearing Member (&CM8) elects to abandon some or all of its
position in that strike price (i.e., for the option series).  All other
options series in the expiring month will be subject to automatic abandonment
unless an Option Exercise Request form is submitted.  When submitting an E/A
form, please note the following:

(a) An E/A form must be submitted not later than 5:00 PM.
(b) Do not submit an Exercise form for positions in strike prices, which are
subject to automatic
Exercise nor submit an Abandonment form for positions in strike prices, which
are subject to automatic abandonment.
(c) If a CM wishes to submit an E/A form to abandon a position in a strike
price subject to automatic exercise or wishes to exercise a position in a
strike price which is out of the money, it is necessary to notify Clearing by
telephone of such anticipated action.  The CM must have an officer available
to confirm such intention.
(d) CMs may secure from Clearing a time-stamped receipt of the CM copy to
assure submission  of the CM,s E/A forms.

3. OPTION POSITION REDUCTION REQUEST FORM (&OPRR8) - As a general rule,
purchases and sales of option contracts are presumed to be new business.   If
some or all of your purchases and sales are in fact undertaken for position
liquidation purposes, OPRR forms may be submitted on the day of expiration
and will be used in conjunction with trade data to reduce your projected
position in an expiring contract.  OPRR requests in excess of actual traded
volume will be rejected.  Exception: Cabinet trades and cancel correction
trades will automatically liquidate existing positions, therefore do not
submit an OPRR form for cabinet or cancel correction trades.
The OPRR form must be submitted not later than 5:00 PM.

4. HOUSE/CUSTOMER POSITION TRANSFER REQUEST FORM (&H/C8) - H/C forms may be
used only to transfer previously cleared contracts between a CM,s house and
customer accounts. Problem trades (those which have not cleared prior to
expiration day), must be corrected using COMEX,s on-line trade entry system
under the direct supervision of the Trade Audits Department of COMEX (&Trade
Audits8).  The H/C form must be submitted not later than 3:30 PM.

5. EX-PIT POSITION TRANSFER REQUEST FORM (&Ex-Pit8) - Ex Pit forms may be
used only to transfer previously cleared contracts between CMs.  Problem
trades (those which have not cleared prior to expiration day), must be
corrected on the on-line trade entry system under the direct supervision of
Trade Audits.  The Ex-Pit form must be submitted not later than 3:30 PM.

 *****
A) At approximately 4:15 PM, two PRELIMINARY reports of the expiration
process will be available for distribution at the Nymex Clearing Department:

1. OPTION EXPIRATION REPORT AND CONFIRMATION - The purpose of this report is
to project the CM,s present position going into the expiration based upon the
transactions which have already been submitted to Clearing.  CMs should
review and modify their adjusted gross positions as of close-of-business on
the business day prior to expiration.  Further adjustments may be submitted
not later than 5:00 PM.  The projected ending gross positions will reflect
transactions accepted or rejected for clearance on expiration night,
inclusive of Ex-Pit, H/C and OPRR transactions which have been submitted to
Clearing prior to 3:30 PM, and trade information submitted to COMEX prior to
3:45 PM.  Normally, this report will also reflect manually submitted Exercise
and Abandonment instructions, the projected number of exercises and maximum
potential assignments for each strike price, the type of exercise (manual or
automatic), whether the strike is In, At or Out of the money, and the
exercise val!
ue!
 associated therewith based on settlement prices established by COMEX on the
day of expiration.

2. TRANSACTION LISTING - This listing will include in detail all expiring
option trades submitted to COMEX prior to 3:45 PM on expiration day, and all
H/C, ExPit, OPRR and E/A transactions submitted to Clearing Prior to 3:30 PM.

Please note: Trade information reflected on the option expiration report and
transaction listing are trades submitted only. To inquire whether trades have
matched, each CM must review the trade reports provided by COMEX,s On-Line
Trade Entry (&OLTE8) system.

B) At approximately 5:30 PM, FINAL reports of the expiration process,
including all submissions to Clearing and trade information submitted to
COMEX made by 5:00 PM, will be available for distribution at the Nymex
Clearing Department.

C) At 5:45 PM, Preliminary In The Money Abandonment and Out Of The Money
Exercise information will be announced on Fast Facts.

D) At Approximately 7:30 PM, a Final Notice of Exercise/Assignments will be
available in each CM,s lockbox located at the Nymex Clearing Department.
Each CM, which has exercised or been assigned one or more options will
receive a separate statement showing exercises and/or assignments for each
option series.  Please check this statement carefully.  Although long options
positions in-the-money by one tick or more will be automatically exercised,
not all short option positions will be assigned if there are any options
manually abandoned at such strike prices.  Please note that there also may be
some at or out-of-the money options being exercised.

E) At approximately 9:00 PM, the final set of clearing sheets will be
available in each CM,s lockbox located at the Nymex Clearing Department.

It is strongly recommended that each CM have a representative(s) that is
properly trained to handle the option expiration process available beginning
at 4:15 PM and who will receive the CM=s reports at the specific times.  It
is solely the responsibility of the CM to review these reports and to notify
the Clearing staff immediately of any discrepancies.

To obtain the exact time of the availability for each report, clearing
members should call (212) 513-7405, access code 702.  The announcement time
will occur
 hour prior to availability.

Below, please find a Clearing Member Procedure Summary for ease of
reference.  Please contact John Ramos at (212) 299-2142 (Members 001-500) or

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Weather Risk Management
Next week, Jeff Shankman and Mark Tawney will be attending the Weather Risk
Management Association (WRMA) conference in Tokyo. There has been
a lot of interest in Japanese weather derivatives to-date.  Even though Japan
is geographically a relatively small country, due to elevation differences,
there are several different climates and within each of those areas, there,s
a significant amount of volatility in day-to-day and season-to-season
weather. By leveraging EnronOnline and our global portfolio approach, Enron
Global Markets will be the dominant weather market player in Japan, as we are
in
the US, Australia and Europe.

IN THE NEWS

Analyst Robert C. Ollech, vice president and portfolio manager at Ziegler
Investment Services Group, says Wall Street will like Enron even more as
demand for natural gas increases, volume continues to grow on its online
marketplace and as the company's broadband business starts making money.
Enron, which has beat analysts' estimates in five of the past seven quarters,
is not a cheap stock. But Ollech says its relatively young management team is
focused on maximizing systems and business lines it has spent five years
developing. Plus, the company is selling such assets as a power plant in
Oregon, moves Ollech says could boost its return on equity to 18% or higher
from the present 12%. "This is an innovative story that's finally getting
out," Ollech says. 02/25/2001  The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Enron Seeks Deals for Japanese Assets
The Japanese unit of U.S. power producer and trader Enron is considering
asset swaps with Japanese power companies, in a deal that would make Enron
the first
foreign company to buy a Japanese power plant. An Enron Japan official said
it is talking to power companies and "owners of power generators in Japan
about
the possibility of asset exchanges," confirming a report in the Japanese
business daily Nihon Keizai Shimbun. The report also said Enron Japan may
enter deals
with Japanese companies for joint power-generation acquisitions abroad.
Japanese deregulation measures have opened the door to new foreign and
domestic
competitors in an industry dominated for years by 10 regional Japanese firms.
Enron Japan was established last May, two months after deregulation measures
were passed allowing nonutility companies to begin supplying power to large
commercial users such as shopping centers and office towers.

oniomania (O-nee-uh-MAY-nee-uh, MAYN-yuh) noun

  Excessive, uncontrollable desire to buy things.

[From Latin, from Greek xnios, for sale, derivative of onos, price, + -mania.]

   "Usually, oniomania leads to financial problems, such as overspending on
   credit cards and bad credit ratings."
   Just Ask Us, Current Health 2 (Highland Park, IL), Mar 2, 2001.

Oniomania is another word for the urge to shop till you drop, habit of the
debit, thrill of the bill. According to a pearl of ancient wisdom, we don't
acquire things, things acquire us. In the case of oniomaniacs, it is perhaps
the fun of acquiring things that acquires them. Imelda Marcos of the
Philippines could be one prime example of this category, also known as
shopaholics, though she could be better known as a shoeaholic.

This week we'll look at some more uncommon words with common suffixes. -Anu

Jo Ellen,

	The document below should be a starting point for our discussion this afternoon. I should give you a pretty good idea of the variables we are trying to capture in the Deal Ticket. I will be speaking w/ Steve Walker this afternoon to flush this all out in  greater detail. If you have any question please call me at 503-807-8959.


Same as Chris.

Fine with me on the pools.  In the west we named a marketer, a cash trader and an attorney to coordinate on each transmission company.  Case by case, those three will determine the "primary point of contact" and the best way to get it done quickly.

Subject:	Lead Contact for Power Pool and Transmission Service Agreements

After our recent Re-start meeting and the associated planning, there has been significant e-mail activity about what appears to be different points of contact into the different Pools and Transmission Providers.

I would recommend that Netco anoint a Primary Point of Contact with each Pool and Transmission Provider and that person have the resources of Legal, Govt Affairs, Commercial, Credit, etc.  The Primary Point of Contact would initiate and lead all discussions with the counterparty to expedite the agreement.

For the Pools, I think that Govt Affairs should be the Primary Point of Contact.

PJM		=	Jim Steffes
ERCOT		=	Charles Yeung
MISO		=	Sarah Novosel
SPP		=	Christi Nicolay
CAISO		=	Alan Comnes (although Steve Hall is already working on this and should not be displaced).

For the individual Transmission Providers, I think that the Real-Time Desk/Logistics should be the Primary Point of Contact.

Does anyone see any issues with this proposal?  I am concerned that Netco may be taking multiple positions with the same provider and that could lead to delay.

Thanks.


Attached is the proposed form of Confidentiality Agreement with Platt's.


I know what I originally gave you changed, but I need to know the MDQ for each
COH Market Area for our TCO SST, so I can put into GMS.  Could you please send
me an update?


Just give me a call when you want to go!    713-807-7507

Looks good.  certainly an area we need more focus on.  Obviously the most
important aspect of lng is how much gas is coming in, what is that relative
to last year, and what new capacity is coming longer term.
As an aside, nat gas trades as a funciton of the storage spread to last year
and five year averages.  It would be very useful if all fundamental analysis
were geared the same way.  The fact that lng shipments are x this week is
meaningless.  the fact that they are y delta of last year is extremely
useful.  if you noticed in the fundies meeting, i was trying to move
discussion that way.  what's switching vis a vis last year.   whats
production relative to last year.  it simplifies the fundamental analysis.

Gentlemen,

I have made changes to the consolidation agreement, which I hope all will
find acceptable:

(It does need a date or two.)

As for the termination agreement, here's what I suggest:

Do we want to address the purchaser's parent guaranty in both of the
contracts, or just the consolidation agreement?  I would suggest that we make
the guaranty a deliverable 30 days after execution of the contracts, which
gives us time to get the Mitsui assignment done, as we expect to assign the
contracts immediately.  That way, Mitsui can provide the guaranty, if
necessary.  If ENA does provide the guaranty, we would want to have the
ability to have it replaced with a suitable substitute guaranty from Mitsui.

Sorry I missed your call.  It was a day of meetings.  I will be on the road
tomorrow, but will check my voice mail.

Kay


Grace,

 The pan seared filet sounds great.

Thanks

Eric

Subject:	FW: more humor

Three little boys were concerned because they couldn't get anyone to play with them. They decided it was because they had not been baptized and didn't go to Sunday school. So they went to the nearest church, but only the janitor was there.
One said, "We need to be baptized because no one will come out and play with us. Will you baptize us?"
"Sure," said the janitor.
He took them into the bathroom and dunked their heads in the toilet bowl, one at a time. Then he said, "Now go out and play."
When they got outside, dripping wet, one of them asked, "What religion do you think we are?"
The oldest one said, "We're not Katlick, because they pour the water. We're not Bablist because they dunk all of you. We're not Methdiss because they just sprinkle you."
The littlest one said, "Didn't you smell that water?"
"Yes. What do you think that means?"
"That means we're Pisscopalians"


The impact on the book for the PG&E and SCE increases described below would be

April to December 2001:  $86.9 million  ($38.8 mm PG&E; $48.1 mm SCE)
For whole book, $195 million (PV).

Subject: prelim numbers on expected generation cost increases for CA bundled
rates

I have reviewed the preliminary drafts by the 3 CA IOU's with respect to
required generation purchases.

My analysis shows that bundled customers would need to see the following
increase in the generation portion of their bundled rate to pay for the
shortfall (increase above the $10/MWh).  I used $90/MWh as an average rate
for the DWR purchases.

PG&E $12/MWh
SCE $23/MWh

Note that this does not recover any past undercollections for previously
purchased energy.  PG&E is proposing an adder of $7/MWh for undercollections.

For SDG&E, the currently rate-capped customers (at $65/MWh) would need to see
a $43/MWh increase.


BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

TRANSACTION DEVELOPMENT
Transaction Development, headed by Rodney Malcolm, works with Pulp & Paper,
Lumber and Steel to structure and execute some of the more complex deals.
Members of the Transaction Development team have a strong track record of
closing structured transactions involving both capital and commodity risks.
Sample deals would include working on the acquisition of Garden State Paper
earlier this year, and structuring and pitching the first all requirements,
index based, physical steel supply contract to one of the largest players in
the steel servicing segment of the steel industry.

The ability to buy and sell physical product will be critical to creating a
commodity product in these businesses.  Getting access to the physical
product will require creating compelling financing structures, as well as
potentially buying assets to get control of their production capability.  In
all these situations, the Transaction Development team will be a key player
in driving these opportunities to closure.
