Politicians from California, as farmers in this area will explain  at great length, have been scheming for decades to siphon off the  basin's cheap electricity and water.   Californians, however, have been noticeably less irritating as of  late. Having fouled up electricity deregulation six ways from  Sunday, they are skidding into the summer air-conditioning season  desperately short of power. In the last year, much of their  salvation has come from the Columbia River, whose monstrous dams are  the largest hydroelectricity machines in North America.  All along the river, from Portland, Ore., to British Columbia,  utility companies, aluminum makers and farmers have joined to help  save California - but at a staggering price. Charging whatever  California's dysfunctional power market will bear, people in this  narrow stretch of the Northwest have created a kind of Kuwait along  the Columbia.  With their record profits, some public utilities are wiring the  emptiness of Eastern Washington with fiber optics, buying diesel  generators to make still more power and paying Wall Street-style  wages to electricity traders - while making sure that their  electricity rates remain among the cheapest in North America. Just  north of the border in British Columbia, a state-owned utility  luxuriated in its California windfall by mailing out rebate checks  to 1.6 million customers.  Their good fortune, though, has come with a measure of  ambivalence and may well be short-lived. A severe drought is already  hurting farmers across the region. If it continues, utilities along  the river will have to buy power and may be punished by the same  market forces that gave them a windfall.  "This is not nice money," said Alice Parker, a retired farmer who  heads a group that promotes irrigation in the Columbia Basin. "It is  something that is offered to us not to use water so Californians can  run their air-conditioners."  Nice or not, a whole lot of money flooded into the Columbia  Basin.  North of here in sparsely populated Chelan County, a publicly  owned utility that has two dams on the Columbia made three times as  much money last year than it ever had before. With just 35,000 local  customers, the utility last year had a $58.2 million profit. It paid  its two top power traders $285,000 each, an astonishing income in a  county where per capita income is less than $25,000 a year. The  utility refuses to reveal the traders' names for fear their children  might be kidnapped.   The chief operating officer of Chelan County Public Utility  District acknowledged that increases in the cost of power were  "huge" and "obscene." But the executive, Charles J. Hosken, added,  "We would be imprudent if we did not maximize this market for our  customer owners."  Next door in equally sparse Grant County, a public utility that  also owns two dams on the Columbia has made even more money  maximizing the market. It had a record $88.8 million in profits last  year - more than double its best previous year.  Grant County Public Utility District, which has just 40,000  retail customers, is using its windfall to help build a $70 million  fiber optic network for local residents. It has also bought 20  diesel generators to guard against power shortages and, if possible,  exploit the power gold-rush. The utility estimates that those  generators could add $50 million to profits in the coming year.  Like Chelan, Grant is using its profits as a kind of drought  insurance to insulate its customers from high market prices for  electricity, when, as now, local needs exceed generating capacity in  the river. Power rates in Grant and Chelan Counties are about  one-fifth as much as in New York City.  Grant County's utility has rejected, for the time being, the idea  of giving a share of its profits to its customers.   "How would it look if Grant County gives away rebates while so  many people are paying more for electricity?" asked Lon Topaz,  director of resource management for the utility. "It would be lousy  politics."  An Upside-Down Economy    The second-worst drought on record in the Columbia River Basin  has combined with California's deregulation mess to further distort  the energy market. Drought has not only helped increase the price at  which electricity can be sold on the spot market - 10 to 20 times as  much as last year's price - it has strengthened a compelling  bottom-line rationale for conservation. Every megawatt not purchased  and used in the Northwest (often at locked-in, long- term prices  that are a fraction of the current market rate) can be sent south to  California. For many utilities, conservation spells local savings  and a long-distance bonanza.  As a result, a regional economy built on half a century of cheap  hydropower has been stood on its head. Irrigation farmers here are  being paid up to $440 an acre not to farm.   Similarly, aluminum companies are collecting about $1.7 billion  this year by not making aluminum. Companies like Alcoahave earned profits that delight Wall  Street, while keeping about 10,000 workers on their payroll, by  reselling hydropower that they bought in the mid-1990's under a  cheap long-term contract.  Even residential customers are being offered a chance to make a  few dollars from the power crunch. AvistaUtilities has announced that it will pay its  customers in Washington and Idaho 5 cents for every kilowatt they do  not use, if their consumption falls more than 5 percent below last  year's level.   For utilities in the Northwest, by far the largest profits from  California's electricity crisis have been secured in British  Columbia. A number of private American utilities have also benefited  from California's troubles.   BC Hydro, a utility owned by British Columbia with dams on the  Columbia and Peace Rivers, is the first corporation in the history  of the province to exceed $1 billion in profits, as measured in  Canadian currency ($712 million in United States currency).

We have unsuccessfully attempted to find sponsors for the project list you gave to me in our meeting.  I would therefore like to start the game again but starting from zero and working our way up. Assuming we are starting with no budget for IT development, please could you sit down with each of our Business Sponsors and agree a number with them.  They are:

Tim Belden (or his appointed person) for West Power
Lloyd Will for East Power
Geof Storey for Gas
Laura Luce for Peoples and Global Net
Chris Gaskill for Gas Fundys
Rob Milnthorp (or his appointed person) for Canada.
Mark Haedicke/Greenberg (or his appointed person) for Legal.

Each of the above will be allocated their charge for IT development and capital (apart from Geof who will allocate across the desks) and therefore is the best person/people to decide on the costs.  Please could you arrange a short meeting/discussion with each and agree a budget as the process so far is not working.

I am assuming its zero at the moment.

Thanks

Louise

Enron will take the initiative and help IEP jump-start the PR effort by the
end of the week.  I spoke with Smutney this evening.  He likes the idea of
Enron taking the lead with McNally/Temple.  I've emailed him the one-pager we
worked up today.--Palmer, Steffes, Dasovich,Parquet
The urgency for a solution is growing and a vaccuum has formed, with many
trying to fill the void.  The Cal. Manufacturers Ass. has called a meeting
with IEP and the utilities.  Dave Parquet and Doug Condon will attend.
I spoke with the VP of Strategic Planning at the ISO today who said there is
a "98% chance" that price caps will be on the agenda at the August ISO Board
meeting.
Dave Parquet continues to check with SDG&E to determine when SDG&E plans to
make an announcement about what it intends to do with the offers it received
last week.
Dave Parquet is working with Andy Kellerman and J. Steffes to try and get the
investment community energized on this issue.
The issue is now apparently affecting California legislative races.  Staffers
are drafting a bill that an "at risk" Democrat Senator from San Diego will
carry, with the hope of using the bill to get the bump necessary to win the
election.  Mona will meet with the staffer on Thursday to find out what he
has in mind for the bill and to communicate our views.
Dasovich will meet with Commissioner Bilas Wednesday to see if the Republican
block of the California PUC is hanging tough.

That's it from our end.

Best,
Jeff

Subject: XPRESS and CPLEX Runtime Comparison results

Hi,

I have tested both CPLEX and XPRESS-MP optimization software in solving our
network design problem.
XPRESS is more user friendly hence it takes less developing time. However,
CPLEX performs significantly better
in term of computation time, especially in integer programming.
As a result, eventhougth XPRESS is easier to use and cheaper, I would
recommend our EBS group to use CPLEX.
Please let me know what do you think...

The test problem has 10 nodes, 77 cables, 5 cable speed.

The table below represents the computation time in seconds for solving this
problem.
The second column indicates if the general integer variables are relaxed (but
still keep the binary variables).
The "LP" column represents the computational time when solving relaxed
problem (no binary & integer variable constraints).
XPRESS took too much time in solving case 4 and 6 so I had to stop the
process and report the best solutions it found.

Below are the graph.

I am very interested in Steve and think we could use him in addition to
Shari.  The only problem is that I agreed that I would not try to recruit him
so the firm would agree to let us second him.  We just need to proceed slowly
with him and hopefully it will work out to our benefit.

By the way, I spoke to Chris Foster and Greg Wolfe about the relative merits
of Steve Hall and Shari Stack.  Their thinking was that Steve is probably a
better "deep thinker" (to use Elizabeth's words) but that he might be bored
with the routine transaction work that Shari seems to really enjoy.  He also
doesn't have the ISDA background which would provide tremendous benefit to
us.  Therefore, I think Shari is a better fit for our current needs.

Having said that, I am extremely impressed with Steve.  He has a better
handle on this California work than anyone I've worked with yet.  He seems
really bright and responsive.  I talked to him last week about working for
Enron and he seemed interested.  I didn't get into any details about our
needs, but gauged his general level of interest in the work that he is doing
for us and his willingness to consider jobs other than his current one.  He
basically said that he would be happy to hear about opportunities here.  I
was talking to Richard Sanders yesterday and he also is impressed with Steve
and said that he had considered trying to hire him.  I don't know if there is
a position for Steve or not.  I just wanted to give you feedback on my
discussions with him.  Let me know if you need any help or information from
me on this matter.

Tim

Please let me know what you have found out about the following costs (see red section below) related to New Albany.  I have to account for these by Monday afternoon (final month-end DPR), at the latest, so I need to know if you are taking the hits in your book or if Lavo is reimbursing you from office of the chair.

Theresa,

I think that it might make sense to visit briefly about your calculation.  As you mentioned, OEC is supposed to be paid certain amounts and will have various obligations to pay significant portions of the amounts paid to it to third parties.  In addition, the latest estimate of the costs to fix the Unit #3 generator is $1.45 million (without any reimbursement from insurance proceeds).  I just want to make sure that your calculation has everything in it because a few minor things have changed.

Finally, relative to the possibility of a third quarter close, we are at the mercy and timing of the FERC and cannot close without the required regulatory approval even if both Duke and Enron desire to do so.

Stuart

Stuart/Jon - I have updated the Loss calc for New Albany with actuals thru August.  Forecasted Loss is $1.1MM.  Please let me know if you have any changes to the reserve.  Any OEC costs associated with closing the facility will be accrued in September to the LLC and are not included as part of this calc.  Please call me with any questions.

Trey/Susan - I just found out yesterday that they are trying to close this next week - 3rd quarter deal.

Hearing on 12/20 probably should be avoided because of distractions likely  to intrude in the sound system from a holiday party at the Commission which  I have just learned will involve all offices and most  floors.   Rather than keep witnesses over until 12/21 and have a  day of hearing on that day, and as we will be in hearing on 202(c) issues on  1/8, I would offer the following suggestion:.

Hold 3 days of hearing on issue  #1 on 12/17, 18, 19, as  planned,  reschedule the hearings  for 12/20 and 12/21 to 1/3,  1/4, and /or 1/7, and  then hear the 202(c) issues, as planned, on  1/8.  Initial and reply brief dates of 1/15 and 1/22 would remain  unchanged, as would the remainder of the trial schedule.

I am open to other suggestions and would like to retain as much as possible  the bifurcated trial schedule process.


Dear Colleague,
Having invoked the Govt Of India Gaurantee yesterday, this has no doubt
received front page media attention across the country. While we will be
circulating some of this around, I forward this particularly interesting
editorial from The Economic Times.  For those of us who question the state
governments stance refusing to pay and face the frequently encountered charge
of high tariff etc,  here's what the countries most widely read and
influential daily has independantly to say in our support:

THE ECONOMIC TIMES
Wednesday Feb 07 2001, http://www.economictimes.com/today/07edit02.htm

A Deserved Downgrade, ( EDITORIAL)

THE rating assigned to four government of Maharashtra supported bonds has,
rightly, been downgraded by Crisil, following non-payment of dues to the
Dabhol Power Corporation by the state government. Predictably, Maharashtra
finance minister Jayant Patil has objected to the downgrade, but that only
shows how out of touch politicians are with commercial reality. This is a
problem not just in Maharashtra but in all states. Politicians have got used
to the nawabi notion that rulers do not really have to pay their legal dues,
and any payments they actually make are a sort of favour.

Maharashtra was earlier regarded as one of the best state governments. But
now it is in fiscal difficulties, like all others. Mr Patil claims Dabhol is
a special case, reflecting not fiscal distress but a political decision not
to pay. Sorry, Mr Patil, but any entity that believes it can default on
payment for political reasons deserves to be punished since it is
demonstrably unreliable. Many believe the Dabhol deal was a high-cost one. So
what? Dozens of public sector projects have suffered cost overruns, but that
is no reason for refusing to pay their dues. The whole point of commercial
rules is that you must abide by the rules of the game even when they involve
a loss. You can legitimately withhold payment only if the original deal was
crooked and broke the law.

This was the accusation made against Dabhol in the mid 1990s, but detailed
investigation failed to unearth evidence of wrong-doing, and dozens of legal
petitions were dismissed by the courts. Cynics say that lack of evidence in
India does not mean innocence. But that cynicism can apply to every single
power project in India, including public sector projects. In life, we all
make some good deals and some bad ones, and need to abide by them
nevertheless. State governments cannot escape this commercial rule. No state
should renege on a deal merely because it was a bad one. If it does so, it
deserves to be downgraded as an unreliable and risky economic partner. The
Crisil downgrade may not mean much of a rise in the state,s immediate
borrowing costs. But it will affect the state,s once-awesome reputation, and
that could be a far higher real cost.


Deal 220903, should be 0 now.  Thanks.

Marlene, we terminated Egan Hub contract ENA-0001 effective 8/31/2000.

Mark:

Could you please analyze the data the transfer server in in the directory
Phillip_G/For_MarkFisher.  You have done the same type of analysis before and
I have added an example of the output you provided before in the spreadsheet.

All I need is the mean value for the nacelle wind speed, free-stream wind
speed, and ratio of these two wind speeds for 0.5 m/s bins.

It would be great to get this by 11am tomorrow.

Good morning,
? Last night, FERC voted 2-to-1 to approve a California market mitigation
order, which will impose cost-based wholesale price restrictions in
California, during periods of Stage 1, 2, and 3 emergencies. The caps will be
in effect from May 1, 2001 to May 1, 2002 and determined on a day-ahead basis
by the California ISO, based on generators, marginal costs.
? Sellers with participating generator agreements will be required to offer
all available power in the real time market. All generators, including those
not regulated by FERC, will be required to sell into the ISO as a condition
for using the ISO,s interstate transmission lines.
? The order only focuses on wholesale prices in California. It directs the
ISO to file an RTO proposal by June 1 and the utilities to adopt demand
reduction mechanisms. It also establishes an agency investigation into
potentially unreasonable prices in the Northwest region.
? We view FERC,s order as a relatively mild one and would caution investors
not to expect overly large reductions in California,s power prices, although
some decline should occur.
? Although we believe most generators would still earn quite attractive
returns, clearly the marginal cost approach of the least efficient plant will
advantage lower-cost base load plants over higher-cost peakers.

Please call us with any questions.

Subject: SW 501D5A Damage Claim

Janet and Dave:

As I believe you both know, the generator for the former CALME 501D5A for
which we are now responsible was damaged beyond repair during shipping. Under
the turbine purchase contract, I believe we have a strong LD claim against
Westinghouse which could amount to a couple million dollars or so. I am
currently in the process of working with EE&CC on transitioning commercial
responsibility for this turbine and any LD claims from EE&CC / CALME to ENA
East Originations. Unless you direct me otherwise, I intend to pursue the LD
claim we are due under the contract. Of course, I will be working in
conjunction with ENA legal (Kay Mann) and EE&CC.

I wanted to make you both aware of this as one or both of you may receive a
phone call from EE&CC who might have a different view as to the appropriate
course of action.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,

Ben

Wilson,

We are running short on time.  We are planning to sign on  Tuesday, and I
hesitate to put a new document in front of them at this late date. Would it
be easier to work with reps/warranties?

I definitely need an answer from your firm confirming (1) enforceability
(2) obligation of the Cities to financially support agreement.

Also, could you provide me with the Mississippi law defn of consequential
damages and a couple of examples where Enron could be responsible for same
under this agreement?  Also, can MDEA and the Cities be liableto Enron for
consequentials (absent a waiver)?

Your comments to the previously forwarded draft would be greatly
appreciated.

I am in complete agreement with you..this was for a total of $150 and was
given at the request of a powerful woman senator, who is the sponsor of this
program..if it had been for more money I would have not have contributed, but
the 17 women members that were there are of importance to us.


Any info?

On the ISDA replacement front, just a reminder that we want to put Morgan
Stanley Capital Group at the forefront, we have an old Energy Price Swap
Agreement in place with them, and then there's always our favorite, the old
AIG "Master Master", now with Sempra, that raises a whole host of other
issues...you were going to talk to Bill about that one...

Do you want me to put them on the list for the Legal/Credit meeting as a
reminder?


Any news?
we would like to trade that this bid week

Thanks,

Eric

Hello sunshine.  How are things ?  I must say the Lord has really been
blessing me and my family.  Tell all the prayer warriors I said Thank you.
There's no way Thank you is enough. I cannot believe the out pour of help
that came my way.  My load has been lifted considerably, I have a smile on my
face.  Our God is an awesome God.  He reign's from Heaven about with power
and love, our God is an awesome God.  I have gotten so many card and letters
it is unbelievable.  I am so overwhelmed by all of this I can't help but to
cry.  When people don't even know you they come to your rescue. The Lord is
going to Bless each and every one of them richly.  Tell all of them I said I
love them with love of the Lord.  If there is anything I can ever do please,
please call on me.  The Lord is going to Bless me to be in a position one
day, I can help someone it is just a matter of time.  And for you Darlene - I
Love You.  You have always showed concern for me and my family, even when you
were having problems yourself.  I just Love You!!! May the Lord continue to
Bless you and your family abundantly. Can I send an e-mail to the saints, the
one I have their name?  Let me know.  Keep me on your prayer list I will be
going to the doctor, that always makes me a wreck.  Also, have you heard
anything about lil Michael?  I want to know how he is doing, I am so sure the
Lord pulled him though. Please let me know.  I will write again tomorrow, my
son just walked in I do not want my kids to know my situation, they do not
need stress, especially him.   I Love you all.

Be Blessed in Jesus Name.
Kat


Michael is a happily married man.  He would never think about any other girl
but Sheila - or so he tells me.  Now, I, on the other hand.  Uhhhhh ....
wait, never mind!

I am free pretty much every day for lunch this week, I won't know until later
in the week about next week.

Barbara,
I spoke, through a few voicemail messages, with Robert Rose earlier today
regarding the status of the easement we discussed a few weeks ago.  He
informed me that he turned in a draft to you and Ann Elizabeth a week or so
ago and had yet to hear back from either of you.  I was hoping to be able to
give a progress report to the engineer and developer working on the project
by Wednesday of next week (ideally with some progress to actually report),
so if it is at all possible to let me know, or have Robert let me know,
where everything stands, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks,
Erin

Mr. Steffes,

Your email was forwarded to me from Rick Drom that you will be replacing Tom
Hoatson as the primary representative on the Members Committee.  Has Mr. Hoatson
left Enron?  Are you replacing him on all PJM related committees?  Our database
shows that he is also a member on the following committees:
Energy Market Committee
Planning Committee
Tariff Advisory Committee
Reliability Committee
Transmission Owners Agreement - Administrative Committee
MEN Study Committee
Credit User Group

I will correct / update the Members Committee roster and wait to hear back from
you with respect to the other committees.  Thank you.

$2,500,000.  No other changes are necessary to the document and I hope
therefore that a full credit worksheet will not be necessary.

All,

      Here is the information on the blue jean shirts.  The exact price is
as follows:

M - XL         $22.65
XXL             $23.90
XXXL           $25.15

Please turn in your money to me as soon as possible.  The total for all the
shirts we have ordered is $551.  I have already made arrangements to pay for
half up front, due to such a high dollar order.

Pass the word on to those not on e-mail (Evelyn Morris, Evelyn Jackson, Nina
Nazir-ud-Din, Pamela Watts, Annette Richardson, Georgia Gillum, Danise
Johnson, Jackie Stewart, Marylyn Green, Ethel Ford, Cheryl Sumbler, and
Cheryl Curry). We need to try and have the money by Powertime on Wednesday.
If you need an accomodation, please let me know.

If you know of anyone else wanting a shirt, please get with me as soon as
possible.  I thought maybe the following might want a shirt (Rev Jacque,
Bobbie Poledore, Katherine Dailey, Valerie Piper).  It would be nice if all
women had one.

Also, thank Joe Stewart when you see him, for making all the arrangements
for us.

Thanks,
Denise


<<Draft dec statement ECS.doc>>

Gerald,
I have converted the draft joint petition that was faxed to you earlier this
afternoon from a WordPerfect file to a Word file.  The converted document is
attached.

As we discussed, we are hoping to receive both your feedback and the
additional information you have agreed to provide ASAP.  We are trying to
work on finalizing the document in time to work out the logistics for filing
by the end of this week.

Our goal is to try and have a signed document in our possession early Friday
morning so that it can be carried to Tallahassee for filing at the FPSC
later that morning.  One of our executives is traveling to Tallahassee that
day for a meeting and has agreed to serve as a courier if the document can
be completed in time.  As we also discussed, if you have Tallahassee counsel
available to sign the final, we can make arrangements to carry the document
to them for signing on Friday and still make the filing on Friday as
desired.

Tim has sent you the original letter agreements and contract for electric
service via FedEx for signing.  Upon execution of the originals, please
return two executed copies to us via FedEx.  This should allow us to have
the executed documents in our possession by Friday, February 16.  Of course,
the documents should be dated 2/13 and signed by the same individual who
signed the fax copies that were returned to us earlier today.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
850/469-3313 or Tim Anthony at 850/444-6678.  One of my partners is also
working on the joint petition.  His name is Russell Badders.  In case you
need to speak to someone when you cannot reach me, Russell can be reached at
850/469-3316.

We appreciate your efforts as we continue to work together to make this
project happen.

Thanks!

DEFECTIVE TIRES, DEFECTIVE BUREAUCRACY

Some fans of the regulatory state believe that NHTSA, the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration, deserves much credit -- and,
in reward, expanded powers -- for its role in exposing the Firestone
tire/ Ford Explorer fiasco. But although NHTSA received early reports
of fatalities caused by the separation of Firestone tires, its
investigation began very recently -- last May -- long after
investigations by State Farm Insurance, the Center for Auto Safety,
and Safety Forum brought the problem to light.

This isn't the first time that NHTSA has failed its mission, argues
Michael I. Krauss, law professor at George Mason University and
author of the recent Independent Institute book FIRE AND SMOKE:
Government, Lawsuits and the Rule of Law.

"NHTSA, the agency responsible for minimum fuel economy standards
(found by a court to have likely cost many lives by forcing
manufacturers to produce light, dangerous cars) and for
illegal-to-disable, baby-killing airbags, does not deserve to be
rewarded for its asleep-at-the-switch approach to the tire problem,"
Krauss wrote recently.

It would be absurd to reward Firestone for selling defective tires.
However, when NHTSA fails, self-proclaimed "consumer advocates" call
for a parallel absurdity: lavishing the agency with more regulatory
authority and taxpayer funds. But NHTSA's pattern of failure
indicates a systemic problem -- a design flaw -- that cannot be
easily repaired. In contrast, as the Firestone episode demonstrates,
the watchful eyes of the American economic and legal systems have
enormous incentives to detect and report product defects. In this
light, perhaps what most needs to be recalled and held accountable
for sloppy workmanship and false advertising is: the defective
regulatory state.

PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS ON THE WAR ON CRIME

Election-year promises always renew the risk that peaceful Americans
will see their rights sacrificed for the sake of political
expediency. This is especially true when politicians promise to "get
tough on crime," as syndicated columnist and Independent Institute
research fellow Paul Craig Roberts pointed out recently.

Although one "anti-crime" bill (or "anti-privacy" according to its
critics) was recently defeated, another "anti-crime" bill -- this one
strengthening asset forfeiture laws -- has just been introduced.
Unfortunately, says Roberts, asset forfeiture laws violate due
process and are any easy way for politicians to look "tough on crime"
even though such laws harm innocent Americans far more than criminals.

"The House Judiciary Committee led by Henry Hyde, R-Ill., has
documented the most extraordinary abuses of the asset forfeiture
laws," writes Roberts. "The Banking Committee and [the bill's author]
should sit down with Hyde and listen carefully before they create any
more Gestapo powers for law-enforcement officers."

MEDICARE REFORM: Economics versus Politics

Debates over Medicare reform didn't start with Al Gore and George W.
Bush. In fact, legislation similar to Medicare had been intensely
debated since the mid-1940s. However, its advocates found no way to
overcome opposition until 1965, when Medicare's staunchest advocate
on the House Ways and Means Committee found the opportunity to
smuggle Medicare legislation into another bill at the last minute.

Yet as vocal as debates over Medicare have been, very little of that
debate has been informed by sound economic principles. This omission,
which has stalled any genuine reform of Medicare, is largely the
fault of economists, says economist Robert B. Helms in the new issue
of THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW.

"My criticism is not directed to the economists who have attempted
for many years to apply market principles to health-care issues, but
to the larger number of economists who have not," Helms writes.
"Moreover, my criticism pertains to the failure of economists to
teach the fundamental principles of economics to educated Americans,
rather than to the failure of 'economics.'"

To improve the quality of the debate over Medicare, Helms recommends
three measures. First, more economists must explain to policymakers
and the public that that market competition in health care, as in
other markets, would improve quality of health care. Second, they
must explain that competition would also make health care more
efficient by allocating scarce resources to higher-valued uses.
Finally, they must explain that price controls and destructive of
these desirable ends.

Without a concerted effort to impart these principles to a wider
audience, Helms argues, Medicare reform -- and other necessary
health-policy reforms -- will become victim of political maneuvering,
much to the detriment of the lives and well-being of the American
public.

"This lack of education in economics is appallingly evident in
Washington, D.C., especially on Capitol Hill," says Helms.

I tried to send this to your juno address and it came back.  Just in case you
are home, I also received the following from the PR department a few minutes
ago:
Be sure to watch Chairman and CEO Ken Lay on Fox News today.  He will appear
on "Our World" with Neil Cavuto at 4:30 p.m. CST to discuss Enron's year-end
financial and operating highlights.

I received the attachment you sent to me at Christmas but was not sure how
well it worked for you to recieve them.  I took a roll of film to be
developed and they had a special on having the photos returned on a disk as
well as prints.  I though they were the Christmas pictures that I could send
to you right away - but it turns out it was an old roll.


IMPORTANT!

There is no need to contact Jebb Hutton - he just declined our summer offer
via phone with me.

A little bird told me that 3 out of the 4 candidates Enron has extended
offers to for the summer are wavering.  The competition is between Enron and
either consulting or investment companies.

Please take 10 -15 minutes to contact each candidate (via phone or email) so
they will have the opportunity to get acquainted with other Enron employees.
Candidate cultivation is very important in helping a candidate decide between
two different firms.

If you do not feel comfortable answering any of the candidates questions feel
free to direct them my way.

The CAISO Tariff will require "Newco" to provide "NERC tagging data."  What is the process to get NERC to assign us an identification number, or whatever it is they assign us?


Can you get with Mary and make sure.  We don't seem to have any positive income there.
