Subject: Senate passes Alper/Davis Bill 30-0

AB 265 passed through the Senate a few minutes ago.  It now must go to the
Assembly, where there is still a lot of uncertainty about what changes the
Assembly will want to the bill.  We still haven't seen the latest
"republican" language.

Also, AB 265 is double joined to AB 970, controversial siting bill.  To the
extent one or the other fails, they both fail.

AB 265 (Davis/Alpert) has:

1.  a 6.5 cent/kWh energy rate cap through 2002, with potential extension
through 2003.
2.  Applicable to residential, small commercial (up to 100 kW)
3.  Opt-in provision for large industrial/agricultural customers at 6.5 cents
with an annual true-up
4.  Use of revenues from utility generation assets (including PPA) to offset
undercollections.
5.  Reasonableness review for San Diego G&E

Will update with more information as available.

No news about SCE.


These were filed June 25 per Chairman Hebert's request.

Linda, please forward to the RTO group.

Enron: ISO Credit Problems Are Those Of Calif Utilities
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

12/13/2000
Dow Jones Energy Service
(Copyright (c) 2000, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)

By Mark Golden
NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- The credit problems of the California Independent
System Operator reflect the credit problems of the state's three
investor-owned utilities, Enron Corp. (ENE) chief of staff Steven Kean said
Wednesday.
"We have expressed some concerns about the utilities' creditworthiness," Kean
said. "They wouldn't have this credit issue if they had a government
guarantee."
Standard & Poor's credit analyst for California utilities, Richard Cortright,
told Dow Jones Newswires that such a guarantee is highly unlikely.
"There's no point in talking about it," Cortright said.
The credit-rating agency put California utility holding companies PG&E Corp
(PCG) and Edison International (EIX) on watch with negative implications
Wednesday. The utilities have seen their debt rating downgraded already this
fall, but their debts are piling up by the billions as they continue to pay
about 10 times more for power supplies than they can charge customers.
"The sheer magnitute of the undercollected balance is beyond belief,"
Cortright said. "Wholesale prices have gotten worse, and every hour the
situation gets more dire."
Cortright said the only step that would save the utilities' credit status is
if California regulators raised the rates the utilities can charge customers.
Late Wednesday, the California Public Utilties Commission indicated that it
may do so, reversing a decision made just last week.
"With new generation coming on, you would expect the rates to decline in a
couple of years," Cortright said.
The California Independent System Operator almost had to institute rolling
blackouts Wednesday because 13 suppliers had stopped selling it power due to
concerns about the ISO's credit.
California Gov. Gray Davis said that Enron was one of the "dirty 13."
Enron's Kean said that Enron was only offering very limited amounts of power
to the ISO.
"We are basically just a buyer and seller. We control only 70 megawatts of
generation in the state, which we offered to the ISO today because of the
emergency, but the ISO declined to purchase that power," Kean said.
That small generating unit is located in the southern California, while the
ISO's supply problems were most acute in northern California.
"We aren't selling any other power to them right now. Everything else that we
bought we've sold to other buyers," said Kean, who added that Enron had sold
to the ISO as recently as Tuesday.
The ISO manages California's electricity grid and purchases last-minute
additional power on behalf of the state's three investor-owned utilities. The
ISO then bills the utilities, which are PG&E Corp's Pacific Gas & Electric
Co, Edison International's (EIX) Southern California Edison, and Sempra
Energy's (SRE) San Diego Gas & Electric Co.
The ISO has 70-day payment terms to suppliers.
For the past two weeks, and often during the summer, the ISO has been
purchasing about one-fourth of the state's entire needs at very high prices.
It's current daily power purchases are running at $50 million to $100
million.


First of all, I am going to run the NYC Marathon and kick both of your
asses.  Lets put a little wager on this.  I headed to the Final Four this
weekend and for a little opening day at Cinergy Field to see Ken G. knock
some homers.  A lot is going on with work and I'm also trying to figure out
about grad school.  I potentially have an offer to go work at an investment
bank in NYC (Merrill and CSFB)  Need to figure this out soon.  Those pictures
looked great from Bahrain and those other places.  Hope all is going well and
keep in touch.  See ya
Ben


Stinson (and Vince--don't think your e-mail address is correct)

This is just a reminder about the "care package" of Enron cases and
materials that you guys were going to send to me.

Stinson, please convey this request on to Vince because I think the e-mail
address I have is an old one.

Thanks and have a great weekend.

Taiichi:

Here is the cover letter and report
that I sent to Vince Kaminsky on June 26.
As Zimin was the source of the
model and code, I think Vince
may not mind if you forward
it directly to Zimin.
Please wait 24 hours before
doing so in order to give
Vince a chance to countermand that.

Thanks!

Vince:

I attach a report, prepared under my direction
by my research assistant, Dr. Taiichi Hoshino,
now employed with Goldman Sachs, on the Enron storage
valuation model that you asked me to review.

This report contains some details that
you didn't ask for, but that your research staff
might appreciate.

The model and software are appropriate to
the task they are designed for, in my opinion, based
on the code and the documentation that
you sent. Some suggestions for
potential improvement are noted
in the attached report, but these
are either minor or not critical
to the current business objectives of the model,
in my view.

If this email is not sufficient, or you
would prefer a hard-copy opinion letter,
please let me know.

Meanwhile, I hope life at Enron is
as exciting as usual!

Sincere regards,

Darrell

PS I will bill you separately for my time (1.5 hours)
and the time of Dr. Hoshino.

Good as golden
Chris Simms has the name, the arm strength and the confidence. So is he
ready to inherit the Horns offense?

By Paul J. Weber
Daily Texan Staff

When Chris Simms reported to Texas' preseason camp earlier this month, he
did so bearing an enormous chip on his shoulder.

And it had nothing to do with the way the Longhorns' quarterback situation
was being handled.

"I hate putting on shoulder pads. I just hate it. I want the smallest
shoulder pads ever," Simms said. "Really, I wish I could just put my
kneepads on my shoulder. It makes me feel restricted, especially after
throwing without pads all summer. But I eventually got used to it."

His adjustment must of happened during the first afternoon practice of
two-a-days. Because for the past two weeks that Simms has engineered the
Horns' first-team offense at Whitaker Fields, there has scarcely been a
moment where the Texas sophomore hasn't looked comfortable operating behind
center. Sure, interceptions have been thrown and routes have been mistimed,
but Simms' trademark confidence has remained constant.

All the while, Simms has spent a lot of time in the middle of a day-to-day
frenzy at Texas, where a starting quarterback has yet to be named for the
season opener just 10 days away. Texas head coach Mack Brown has shyed away
from giving any indication as to who the starter might be or when the
selection will be announced, leaving just speculation as to whether it will
be Simms or Major Appplewhite who comes out on the field first Sept. 9
against Louisiana-Lafayette.

"We're doing what all you guys are doing," Brown said. "[Offensive
coordinator] Greg [Davis] and I are looking at, evaluating it, and trying
to
be fair. But honestly, I think both of these guys could play in the NFL."

That may be looking a bit too far ahead, but for the quarterback with the
regal NFL bloodlines, Simms has been taking the situation in stride.

He's brushed off the endless questions about the issue with ease, and in
the
meantime, has put together a string of practices that revealed a much more
patient and mature quarterback than the one abruptly thrust into
high-pressure situations toward the end of last season.

"All of this hubub hasn't been much of a distraction. I don't read the
news,
I don't read the newspaper," Simms said. "All I really watch is
SportsCenter
in my life. That's all I ever watch. That's all my life is. Practice, eat,
nap. Practice, eat, nap."

Simms finished his freshman campaign as the Horns' quarterback, after
Applewhite blew out his knee in the Cotton Bowl during Texas' 27-6 loss to
close out 1999. Surgery and rehabilitation kept the reigning co-Big 12
Offensive Player of the Year sidelined through spring drills, where Simms
assumed the starting quarterback position and showed every reason why he
was
one of the nation's top recruits when he came out of high school the year
before.

"He's got sharp instincts and a tremendous arm," Texas offensive
coordinator
Greg Davis said. "A guy like Chris gives you a lot of options in your
quarterback, between his mental understanding of the game and his physical
ability."

Simms reported to campus this fall about 17 pounds heavier than he was at
this time a year ago, as the 6-foot 5-inch signal caller added muscle in
the
weight room this offseason. He joked the biggest difference in his added
strength was "looking better in my uniform," but Simms does think the extra
muscle has given him better arm strength and has increased his ability to
take a hit, even though Brown has not allowed his quarterbacks to be
touched
this preseason.

"People ask me if I'm scared when I'm out there, and if I'm scared of
getting hit by these big guys while I'm out there. And yeah, I am scared,"
Simms said. "Because I don't want to fail. I don't want to be a failure. "

If Simms does start this season, his fear of failure should be eased by the
targets he'll be throwing to downfield. Texas has added a bumper crop of
wide receivers dubbed The Big Three to their offensive mix, with Roy
Williams, Sloan Thomas and B.J. Johnson poised to become big targets for
the
Texas passing attack this year.

And unlike Applewhite one of the more stationary quarterbacks in the pocket
Simms can be mobile when need be, though he doesn't really consider himself
a scrambler. Or at least one like Virginia Tech's Michael Vick, who like
Simms, is a lefty.

"I don't think I could ever do what he could do," Simms said. "I might be
able to run a 4.25 forty off a cliff, but that's about it."

And does Simms have an ideal situation for his playing time this season?

"Do I have an ideal situation? I think you can figure it out," Simms said.
"Just write it down, and you'll figure it out. "

Could you please advise if we have signed repo docs with any other

Subject: Re: ISDA Enron Europe

John, I would be very interested to see what the local derivatives market is
developing.  My guess is that the document is probably being prepared for
transactions between two Argentine companies.  If this is the case I would
also like to know what is being done on the tax side by the association to
fix the tax problems caused by doing swaps in Argentina.  If the Argentine
Association of Derivatives has a draft we would like to study it.  Also, are
we going to become a member of this association and are we going to send
someone to the meetings regularly?  Do we have any brochures or other
information regarding the makeup of the association?

From my conversations with Mark Taylor I do not think that ISDA has any plans
to implement a Spanish language ISDA master.  The translation process of the
master, the schedules, and all of the various definition books would be a
serious undertaking (there are literally hundreds of pages of documentation
that would have to be legally translated).  And most US companies that make a
market in derivatives products would not have the legal and back-office
personnel to negotiate and process masters and transactions in Spanish.  I
know that ENA does not have the capacity to do this at the moment.  I think
the only other language ISDA is published in is Japanese and that is a
restricted format used only between two Japanese companies for a limited
number of types of trades specific to the Japanese market.  English will
likely remain the language of choice in international transactions such as
what we are doing now between ENA and Argentine counterparties.  If the tax
situation in Argentina were to change and ESA sets up its own trading entity
in Argentina with front, back and middle offices, then the language issue
could be assessed locally.

I wish there were a simple answer to the current situation.  Please keep me
updated in any local market information you come across.

Thanks,
Brent

Subject: Re: ISDA Enron Europe

I'm in the need of informing the whole team that Argentina through the
Argentine Association of Derivatives has developed a document that's
circulating in the market and will surely be optimised to the extent that
Argentine companies will use it in the near future if not inmediately. This
document has been prepared by experienced groups of professionals with
foreign support on terms of credit and legal issues.

My impression is that will be competing against that document in a great deal
of disadvantage. This disadvantage will be a "cultural" disadvantage from the
moment that latin american countries tend to have "shorter" documents written
in the local language where the transaction is taking place.
If the ISDA was at least written in Spanish (rather than French or German) it
would be of great help. This is an issue that really "tickles" me: Why isn't
the ISDA document translated into Spanish being that it is after English
probably the language most spoken through out the globe and second that
there's much more opportunity of selling Risk Management Products to Latin
American countries rather than French companies through my more than
disappointing experience in trying to close a deal with French Total.

I believe Sara's visit would be more that important. I'll try to forward
everybody a copy of the document that was drafted in Argentina for
everybody's info.

I strongly believe in the matters of evolution and I'm sure that in the
future ESA's market will mature in such a way that will just like Enron
Europe a document to match market's needs.

Thanks for your help on all my stuff.  Everything should be set up just like April 11.  Its in the system as Max SIQ for both companies, and the 10301 DIQ for Peoples only, No DIQ for NS.  This could change slightly in the morning, but my guess is it won't.  I already balanced out Will Co and Other City gates and took 72000 to Peoples.  Kelly needs to buy at least the short at amarillo.  Thanks again and I'll check with you in the morning to make sure everything is ok.  I'll have my pager if there is a major crisis, I dont anticipate one though.

I think I'm going to be getting out of here in about 20 min.   I don't think Emmy's done till about 5:30 but I haven't heard from her all day.  Hopefully she's still up for it.  Have you heard from her at all?
Anyway, if you can't get a hold of her after your appointment, give my cell a call for a status check:  617-1858.

try having no work to do for two months and then having to stick around and

not used to not doing things.  i've gotten good at finding things to do
with my time, but when i first had nothing to do, i was going crazy.
fridays are always slow around here and i'm guessing its the same there,
although i don't know cnrl specifcally, oil and gas producer/marketer?

in terms of what i do, before enron went under, i was the short term
alberta power trader.  since then, i have been champion internet surfer and
investigating local coffee shops in an ever-widening circle.  although,
things are looking up.

eze is (i think) an earls nickname -- pronounced easy-e.  although, they
may just call her easy for short.  i'm sure she loves both names very much.

i have a very important meeting at 5 with my massage therapist and i was
thinking about stopping by after that.  should i call eze's cell?  or do
you have a cell #?

2. For corporate policy reasons, they cannot take advantage of affiliate

Great.  I briefly looked at your papers - the idea is very promising if you
can find the agency/government.

Dave, here is another example of the underlying issues concerning the practice of index readings because of late charts. Courtney will distribute a summary draft of our recommendations later today, specifically addressing the 7 and 16 day charts issues.

Gary,  I received a call on 11/13 from Bill Lindley (Clayton Energy) agent for City of Hartley, IA.  Bill was inquiring about the actual daily volume allocations at POI 60551, Meter Number 722015-01.  He incurred about $5,503.35 in DDVC penalties for the month of Oct.  2001 due to daily variances at the TBS.  Bill was asking if the actuals were estimated from the 17th - 31st.  In checking with Frankie the end of the month index readings were used to estimate the volume due to the chart being received after close.

Bill (Clayton Energy) has requested that we pull the chart(s) and check the reading to verify that the penalties and the daily volume are correct for the month of Oct..  Bill has provided me with the daily readings from his check meter at this TBS to compare with.  This check will determine if the daily volumes need to be reallocated and a PPA generated.

Give me a call if you have any questions.

Take 2 minutes to read this.it's worth it!

Sounds like a Darwin award:

 Two hunters from Michigan--(true story) This is from a radio program,
> a true report of an incident in Michigan:
>
> A guy buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500 and has $560
> monthly payments. He and a friend go duck hunting in winter, and of
> course all the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the lake
with

>
> They drive out onto the lake ice and get ready. Now, they want to
> make some kind of a natural landing area for the ducks, something for

dog,

>
> The dog takes off to find cover, under the brand new Navigator.
> ----BOOM!---- Dog and Navigator are blown to bits and sink to

standing there with this "I can't believe this happened" look on their
faces.

Hey Rob!  How's it going?  Mexico was fun, but the weather was overcast most
of the time.  No, I don't have a ring on my finger yet, but I'm still dating
the same guy.  I just moved offices to El Paso's downtown office at 1001
Louisiana.  I didn't think I'd like being downtown, but so far I'm loving
it.  Yes, we should go golfing or go for a drink downtown.  Maybe we could
meet someday after work since we're both downtown.  Holly
