NETWORK WORLD FUSION FOCUS: JASON MESERVE on
SECURITY AND BUG PATCH ALERT
TODAY'S FOCUS: Guarding the perimeter is not always enough
03/21/00

Dear Wincenty Kaminski,

Today's Focus: Guarding the perimeter is
not always enough
---------------------------------------------------------------
By Jason Meserve

Oh, the irony. You build your security systems to protect internal
systems from outside intruders, then someone inside the company decides
to play cyber-vandal.

Last week, authorities charged Abdelkader Smires with launching denial-
of-service attacks against his own employer, New York-based Internet
Trading Technologies, Inc. (ITTI). Smires was upset that ITTI did not
meet his demands for a raise and more stock options. He used computers
at a Kinko's Copy store and a local university to launch his revenge
attacks against ITTI that disrupted the company's trading systems for
three days.

"He and the other programmer were involved in writing the software, so
he knew just where to attack. He was fully familiar with weaknesses in
the code," said Eric Friedberg, computer and telecommunications crime
coordinator for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn, N.Y., in an
interview with Computerworld "Although it was a potentially disastrous
attack for the company, it wasn't a highly sophisticated attack."

Read more about the attack here:
http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2000/0317insidejob.html

Another interesting article to check out is "The service-pack shuffle
ruffles a lot of feathers" in this week's issue of Network World
(http://www.nwfusion.com/archive/2000/83305_03-20-2000.html). My
colleague Deni Connor writes that customer are fed up with the endless
release of service packs, which seem to be replacing quality assurance
at the companies developing our enterprise software.

But with no bugs, there would be no newsletter, so on with the latest
patches and alerts.

Cisco Secure PIX Firewall FTP vulnerabilities

Cisco announced that its PIX Firewall has a problem interpreting FTP
commands, allowing inappropriate access through the firewall. The
announcement covers two vulnerabilities: One when the firewall receives
an error from an internal FTP server and the second when a client inside
the firewall visits an external site and selects a link that the
firewall interprets as two commands. One of the commands inadvertently
opens a connection through the firewall.

Patch available for "OfficeScan DoS & Message Replay" vulnerability

Trend Micro has released a new version of OfficeScan Corporate Edition -
Version 3.51 - that eliminates two security vulnerabilities found on
previous versions. Previous versions of OfficeScan allow intruders
within a firewall to initiate a denial-of-service attack on the
OfficeScan client (tmlisten.exe) as well as to capture OfficeScan
commands.  These commands can be replayed and used to change other
OfficeScan client configurations.

FreeBSD releases four advisories

The makers of FreeBSD did a little housecleaning last week, releasing
advisories on a number of previously announced vulnerabilities in
various Linux packages.
mh/nmh/exmh/exmh2 ports allow remote execution of binary code
Relating to the nmh's mhshow vulnerability when reading MIME headers.
New packages at:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-3-stable/mail/nmh-1.0.3.
tgz
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-current/mail/nmh-1.0.3
.tgz
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages-4-current/mail/nmh-1.0.
3.tgz

Lynx ports contain numerous buffer overflows
The lynx WWW browser is written in an unsecured format that contains a
number of holes. There is currently no patch available, so FreeBSD
recommends removing the package to eliminate the problem.
mtr port contains a local root exploit
The mtr program (versions 0.41 and below) fails to correctly drop setuid
root privileges during operation, allowing a local root compromise.
Fixes:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-3-stable/net/mtr-0.42.tg

orville-write port contains local root compromise
One of the commands installed by the port is incorrectly installed with
setuid root permissions. The &huh8 command should not have any special
privileges because it is intended to be run by the local user to view
his saved messages.

IE and Outlook 5.x allow executing arbitrary programs using .eml files

Georgi Guninski has found yet another flaw in Microsoft's popular
browser and e-mail program. This one allows arbitrary programs to be
launched via attached .eml files. No patch is currently available from
Microsoft, so Guninski recommends shutting off active scripting.
For a demonstration that starts WordPad:

Sojourn search engine exposes files

The Cerberus Security Team has discovered a weakness in the commercial
search engine, Sojourn, that allows attackers to read any local file on
the file system that they have read access to (as provided by the
account the Web server is running under). As such, files such as
/etc/passwd on Unix systems can be read and files such as the
global.asa on Windows NT and 2000. No patch was available as of this
writing.More on Sojourn:

************

Problem with AIX 4.x linker

The Sendmail Consortium is warning of a problem with the AIX 4.x linker.
According to the advisory, unlike most other linkers, the AIX linker
uses the paths specified at compile time for the program's shared
library search path at run time.  Therefore, AIX compilations that use
the -L flag with the AIX linker must use extra precautions to prevent
security problems. This problem is not specific to Sendmail and can
affect other applications. IBM claims it is aware of the problem and
provides workarounds.
AIX site:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/aix/
************

Oracle Web Listener 4.0.x

The Cerberus Security Team has discovered a number of issues with
Oracle's Web Listener, part of Oracle Application Server (OAS), which
allow a remote attacker to run arbitrary commands on the Web server. As
part of the default installation, OAS creates an ows-bin virtual
directory that is a cgi-bin equivalent. According to Cerberus, this
directory not only contains a number of batch files, DLLs and
executables but also the binary image file for the Listener itself,
which could lead to malicious users executing commands on the server
with special query strings. No patch is available yet, though Cerberus
recommends removing the ows-bin directory or point to a more benign
directory.
OAS Web site:
http://www.oracle.com/appserver/
************

kreatecd local root compromise

TESO has found a vulnerability within the kreatecd application for
Linux. An attacker can gain local root-access. Halloween Linux Version 4
and SuSE 6.x are vulnerable. According to the TESO advisory, the author
of the software has been notified. The advisory recommends removing the
suid bit of kreatecd.

'Melting Worm' slithers into the wild

From Computerworld: A new worm now "in the wild" has the potential to
shut down Windows platforms and make the operating system permanently
unusable.
Read the article:
http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2000/0316worm.html
************

Vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 encryption used to store
administrative login ID

Internet Security Systems (ISS) has identified a vulnerability in the
encryption used to conceal the password and login ID of a registered SQL
Server user in Enterprise Manager for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. When
registering a new SQL Server in the Enterprise Manager or editing the
SQL Server registration properties, the login name that will be used by
the Enterprise Manager for the connection must be specified. If a SQL
Server login name is used instead of a Windows Domain user name and the
'Always prompt for login name and password' checkbox is not set, the
login ID and password are weakly encrypted and stored in the registry.
http://xforce.iss.net/alerts/advise45.php3
************

Patch available for "Malformed Media License Request" vulnerability

Microsoft has released a patch that eliminates a denial-of-service
vulnerability in Windows Media License Manager. The vulnerability could
allow a malicious user to temporarily prevent the license server from
issuing further licenses to customers for protected digital content such
as music and video.

The following items were presented in this week's corporate change control....

Jan 28
Beginning at 6:00 p.m., the Telephony team will remove the telephone switch from 3AC and migrate phone numbers.  The maintenance is expected to last approximately one hour.  Each block of numbers will experience an outage of a few minutes during which calls made to an affected number will not go through and will not roll to voice mail.  The numbers affected are: 345-5000...6999; 713-646-6000...6599; 713-646-7000...7999; 713-646-8200...8399; 713-646-8600..8699; 713-646-9700...9799; 713-345-0200...2999.  The number 713-345-7000 to access voice mail will not be affected by this maintenance.  However, any number within these maintenance groups will be affected regardless of whether it was moved from 3AC.  This change will impact ETS users.

Subject: CA Price cap

Roger,

When you have a second would you fill me in on where you think this issue
will end up ?  Currently October NP15 is trading at 120 - I don't want to buy
it if there is a chance that there will be a price cap at 100.00.  I'd also
like to discuss our cost if we are short ? I assume 100 for expost and 100
for replacement ? total 200

thanks

Yesterday, Jim and I had a discussion with Tom Brown (Bob Mustard) and the
potential new owners of the Wildhorse assets.  The name of the company is
Cantera Resources, Inc.  They have offices in Dallas and Denver.  They are a
midstream gathering and processing company, predominately owned by Morgan
Stanley Dean Witter.  They recently (about 9 months ago) purchased the
processing assets from TXU.  The two gentlemen from Cantera on the line were
Dave Kenyon (Denver) and Terry Klare (Dallas).

They wanted to know about the Entrada gas and our low-Btu gas plans.  We
indicated that we are in the process of building a 24 MMSCFD plant at the
South Canyon interconnect.  Also indicated that while the San Arroyo gas was
currently covered under an existing gathering agreement, the Badger Wash gas
was not dedicated.  We indicated that we wanted to bring 10mmscfd from San
Arroyo and we could move anywhere from 8-15mmscfd from Badger Wash.  All
wells are drilled.  We did not discuss third party gas.

They indicated they are very interested in working with us on this low-Btu
project.  They also indicated that the only way they make money is by moving
gas - as much as possible.

The PSA for the transaction has not been executed at this time.  Both
parties indicated they expect to sign the PSA next week, with closing soon
thereafter (no timeframe given).  Once the PSA is signed, TBI has no
objections to discussions between Crescendo and Cantera to proceed without
TBI.  Dave and Terry indicated they wanted to enter into more serious
discussions with us as soon as the PSA is signed.

Athough Bob did indicate to Cantera that there were issues with the San
Arroyo Gathering Agreement, we did not discuss any of the other issues with
the contract, as the conversation was brief and more of an introduction of
us to them.

Subject: ECS Gallup contract: Update

I spoke with the person who administers the Members Only website at
TriState.  I explained to her that we had been a customer under Rate No. 21
since July but only obtained access recently.  She processes the request
forms, and seemed to indicate that obtaining access is really a matter of
routine.  She said we should have been able to get access as soon as we
became a customer.  I told her we had signed a confidentiality agreement and
she confirmed this was routine also.  I did not press her on the specifics of
how ECS/TW obtained access, as I felt she had already given me enough
information to tend to confirm our suspicions.  She was helpful, and had we
known to contact her or someone in her department I feel certain we could
have talked our way thru the red tape (if any really existed).

Subject: ECS Gallup contract

Here are some bullet points based on our conversation Friday morning
regarding the ECS Compression Service Agreement.  These bullet points
summarize our position and are intended to be a starting point for a
conversation between persons at TW and at ECS (who are yet to be determined)
regarding the additional power costs incurred by Transwestern as a result of
the lack of a system for monitoring peak loads on CDEC.  If you have
additional comments, please let me know.

We still need to decide who is going to call whom; I am going to leave that
up to you, but do let me know if I can help.

-  ECS is under an obligation to work in good faith with CDEC to establish a
monitoring system that would automatically
alert TW to peak loading conditions on CDEC's system.

-  Rate No. 21 became effective in July 2000.  ECS did not obtain permission
for TW to access the "Members Only" portion of CDEC's website (which contains
load data) until January 2001.  Access to the information required a
confidentiality agreement, which was executed in December.

-  ECS blames the delay on Tri-State/CDEC, who allegedly would not work on
the confidentiality agreement until the merger was completed.   "Good faith"
by ECS would reasonably include alerting TW to any such delay or any
difficulty in getting access to CDEC's information.  TW was never contacted
in this regard.

-  Since Rate No. 21 contains a rebate for customers that avoid peak load
times, we assume that CDEC is under an obligation to provide such customers
with access to peak load information (I have not been able to verify this,
but it makes sense).  If this is true, we should have been able to have
access immediately upon the effectiveness of Rate No. 21.

-  Most if not all of the $325,000 peak load costs incurred by TW since July
could have been avoided had TW had access to a monitoring system.  Because it
did not alert TW to difficulties/delay in getting the necessary information
from CDEC, ECS did not act in good faith in obtaining such access and should
therefore take responsibility for its share of the consequences.

-  ECS needs to act without further delay to build an automated monitoring
system to eliminate the need for someone to continuously monitor the
website.  An estimated completion date should be provided.

I've left messages at CDEC to ask about access to the Members Only part of
the website; I'll follow up.  The website states only that access is granted
"on a case-by-case basis."  I hope to make contact on Monday and will let you
know what I'm able to learn from them.

I think Greg Whalley and John Lavorato are individuals we can trust.  I also know that those that we can not trust are aware that we are not afraid to press for answers and action!  Its interesting in that there seems to be two groups of individuals developing.  Those that are personally self centered and ask what's in it for me and a larger group of individuals who want to end the selfishness and work for the good of the total company.  Besides they all know as you do that I can be a real asshole if I don't get my way.  Ha, Ha

I would have to check to speak definitively on any clauses in his contract, but I don't believe there was a change of control provision.  I don't know of anyone other than Ken who has one.  There was some argument regarding andy's contract and payments that might be due under involuntary termination, but at this time we are not paying anything.  Andy was put on a leave of absence, and subsequently resigned.  We are still investigating the related party transactions.  Hope this helps.

Greg:

A rumor is going around that Andy Fastow's employment contract had language that would allow him to be paid $9,000,000 or some amount if a change of control of the corporation occurred.  Several questions come to mind related to this issue that I would appreciate your response:
	1)  Please confirm the existence of such a clause or similar clause in Mr. Fastow's contract that would allow him a claim of additional money from an Enron entity.
	2)  If such a clause does exist what is Enron's intent as far as payment or litigation?
	3)  What other Enron employee's have such clauses that would allow them to benefit from the merger?

Your clarification of the above questions would be appreciated!

	Thanks, Jim

Jeff:

FYI, this is a concept we are thinking about.  The following was written by Shawn to his staff, but the basic idea is to buy, or gain control of medium sized trucking companies $5-25mm/yr revenue.  We would either keep the current owner involved as described below, or work with an operating partner who would control all the truck leases, drivers and maintenance.  We would take back a contract for the capacity (mix of variable and fixed price) and would retain all existing sales contracts.  Under either structure, we get access to the existing customer relationships and channels.

Once we get a little further down the line, I'd like Shawn and Kellie to present it to you and Mike.

Regards,

Dan

===========================================================================================

In my mind, the typical demographic of a good target would be someone:

who has built a solid and profitable trucking company of midsize
who has build a loyal book of business with financially sound shippers over a 10 to 20 year period
who is seeking some retirement liquidity (capitalise on the goodwill) and has no one to pass the business on to
who can stay around for a migration period of 1-3 years, so that the book gradually moves to EFM (on a spot, then firm basis)
possibly someone whose business could even be bigger if Enron were partnered with them because of added credibility with the inclusion of Enron
maybe who may have run into some unavoidable problems (such as hit by high insurance), but depends on whether they have preserved valuable relationships

One of the possible structures Kellie and I have been discussing is:

some Initial Payment is made to Truckco for signing the implementation plan agreement with EFM
at that time EFM is given a call option to buy out the equity of Truckco within 18-36 months from now (we could also give them a put to EFM at a lower price)
the implementation plan calls for Truckco management to do certain things over the ensuing periods, including migrating and routing their business through EFM
milestone payments for certain events such as (1) moving accounts to EFM or an EFM/Truckco JV and (2) transforming the contracts from spot to our M2M firm basis (different payments depending upon the value of the deal for us)
during the migration period, we will back-to-back the original customers with the Truckco; and compensation to Truckco for any spread could be contained in some combination of the Initial Payment and milestone payments
I assume that the JV between EFM/Truckco may be able to preserve the existing relationships and possibly increase the size because of the scale that Enron brings (ie grow the existing business)
at the exercise date of the equity options, we can decide whether to (1) exercise and own the Truckco; (2) sell the Truckco to a larger trucking company; (3) retire the trucks and sell the terminals and satisfy the customer volumes in other ways (from other carriers, from our portfolio, or just remain short and cover in the spot market)

I'm sure that Kellie is considering other possible structures as well.

We really need to get something like this launched as soon as possible, as we have a target of $6M of income for this 3Q.

Again, lets visit with Kellie and her team.  She is assembling a list of target companies.

Shawn


Thanks, understood and good luck.
mike

The following report contains confidential and sensitive information.  Please
treat with discretion.

Executive Summary:
? FERC price cap decision reflects Bush political and economic objectives.
Politically, Bush is determined to let the crisis blame fall on Davis; from
an economic perspective, he is unwilling to create disincentives for new
power generation
? Davis finds four major flaws with FERC plan, most notably its exclusion of
out-of-state generators
? June 1st "kill clause" for FERC order could coincide with new Bush regional
plan
? California facing growing fiscal risk following bond downgrade, expected
$20 billion power bill this summer--economic crisis would force deeper
Administration involvement
? QF bid for advance payments from PG&E likely to fail in bankruptcy court
? New generation delays probable because of State/QF squabbling
? Consumer groups are preparing a constitutional challenge to SoCal bailout
deal

1. FERC Fallout
The FERC decision is a holding move by the Bush administration that looks
like action, but is not.  Rather, it allows the situation in California to
continue to develop virtually unabated.  The political strategy appears to
allow the situation to deteriorate to the point where Davis cannot escape
shouldering the blame.  Once they are politically inoculated,  the
Administration can begin to look at regional solutions.  Moreover, the
Administration has already made explicit (and will certainly restate in the
forthcoming Cheney commission report) its opposition to stronger price caps
on the grounds that they are unwilling to create disincentives to the
construction of new generation.

It is interesting and ironic to note that electricity generators were
generally happy with the FERC order and that the only FERC commissioner who
favors price caps actually voted against this plan.

2. Something Less than Effective Price Caps
 From Davis's point of view, the FERC plan has four major flaws:
? The order applies only to California, not to the rest of the west.
Non-California generators are not required to sell at capped rates to
California.
? As the order is written, it is more of a price floor for emergency power
than a ceiling.
? State officials also believe that energy suppliers will continue to game
the system, because the price mitigation scheme only kicks in after a Stage 2
emergency and does not require any collusion.
? Even when the price caps kick in, they are based on the cost-plus for the
highest cost producer supplying power to California and do not require
wholesalers to abide by the cap.  The generators can also charge above the
cap, provided they can subsequently justify the excess charge to FERC.

3. Proposal "Kill Clause" Adds to the Political Dilemma for Davis
The FERC proposal includes a "kill clause" that says the caps will be
withdrawn unless California's ISO agrees by June 1st to become part of the
regional grid now under FERC control.  If Davis doesn't sign on to the
regional grid by June 1st, then he will have to live with June 2nd headlines
blaming him for letting the "Bush price caps plan" collapse.

4. Growing Fiscal Risk in California
Sources speculate that California  could therefore pay as much as $20 billion
on power this summer - this is more  than the combined enterprise value of
PG&E and SCE.  These sources believe that, because of the severity of the
situation, the FERC and/or the  federal government will be forced to take
further action to control prices for  power.

The consensus is that the state of California will run out of money in about
90 days. One of the first projects to be cancelled will be state plans to
finance new power plant construction in exchange for long-term power deals.
The bleak fiscal picture is also causing bank creditors to revisit the bridge
loans they are providing to California.

The Bush Administration and the Fed are only now waking up to the seriousness
of the fiscal picture.  The country's largest and most prosperous state will
have gone from large surpluses to serious debt downgrades and devastating
deficits in a matter of months.

5. QFs to Seek Advance Payment from PG&E
Meanwhile, on the bankruptcy front, the QFs reportedly  will ask the
bankruptcy judge today to give them advance payment from PGE's  accounts,
since their natural gas vendors have likewise demanded advance payment  for
gas. It appears very unlikely that the QFs' request will be granted. If the
QFs do not receive advance payment, it is likely that most of the 4,000 mw
of gas-fired QF capacity will remain offline.

6 Delays Likely in New QF Generation
The QF deals made with the state for long-term contracts are  being
continually renegotiated, which is likely to mean that the new plants  those
contracts are supposed to finance will not be online as early as  anticipated.

7. Consumer Groups Ready to Challenge Constitutionality of SCE Bailout Plan
Harvey  Rosenfield and his colleagues reportedly have been reviewing an
analysis  of the MOU for the SCE bailout  plan.  The analysis was done by a
utilities analyst, rather than a lawyer, though it appears to raise a number
of  good legal points. For example, one of the elements of the MOU is a
"non-bypassable" charge  on ratepayers that would require  them to pay even
if they disconnect from the grid. This is effectively a tax,  since there is
no exchange of value  for money, which under the CA constitution cannot be
used to directly  benefit a private entity.  This makes  the bonds that would
be issued are general obligation bonds, rather than revenue  bonds. According
to the constitution, the state cannot be put into debt to  benefit a private
company.  For this and other reasons, even if the  Republicans would vote for
the SCE bailout, which remains  unlikely, the bailout probably would not
stand a likely constitutional challenge.

8. Governor Hurt by Continued Failure to Disclose Long-Term Power Contracts
The issue of the Governor's failure to  disclose the details of the long-term
power  contracts continues to  distress the other players in the  crisis.
Even if he were to  disclose everything he and his staff have been
negotiating, it is likely that their actions and negotiations will
challenged, creating an even further delay.

Steve:

I'll toot my horn on this one.  The speeches we have been doing for Ken
ranging from corporate culture to getting markets open are doing what they
are supposed to do.

On another matter, I cast my vote for a "knowledge manager" to replace
Margaret.  If I had a full time position instead of a rotating analyst, this
person could maybe double up and gain the institutional knowledge that
Margaret accumulated.  I think Rita Hartfield would be good in this position
and would work well with Joan and me.  I would also expect Rita to work
efficiently on a variety of hot issues--including writing which she is
proficient at.

Enron calls on Ontario to open power market quickly
April 04, 2001 12:36:00 PM ET
By Scott Anderson
TORONTO, April 4 (Reuters) - Enron Corp. (ENE), North America's biggest buyer
and seller of natural gas and electricity, put pressure on the Ontario
government on Wednesday to deregulate the provincial energy market, Canada's
biggest, as quickly as possible.
Ontario has already pushed back its previous deadline of November 2000 by one
year to sort out its deregulation problems and avoid the problems encountered
by California in energy deregulation.
The delays have frustrated potential corporate players.
"We think the right thing for Ontario is to move ahead with this plan, open
the markets and get them working," Kenneth Lay, Enron's chairman, said at a
breakfast speech at the Toronto Board of Trade.
"Let people start building the new power plants and, of course, providing a
lot of the types of services we provide elsewhere."
Lay warned that the longer the government drags its feet on the issue, the
more it places itself at risk of scaring off potential investors.
"The delays continue to create uncertainty and uncertainty tends to
discourage investment," Lay told reporters. "By discouraging investment, as
the market keeps growing, it could be that Ontario is going to have a tough
time keeping up with the needs of the economy."
Enron plans to build a $250-million generating plant near the southwestern
Ontario town of Sarnia, but has delayed the project until Ontario sets a firm
date for deregulation.
Lay said Enron is "committed to Ontario" even though other companies have
said they will move to other jurisdictions if the government does not open up
the market by the fall.
He said Ontario is far better prepared for deregulation than was California.
"I think what California shows is that if you're going to do it, you've got
to do it right. And California did it wrong," he told reporters.
"Increasingly politicians are understanding that. You can't deregulate half
the market, but not the other half. You can't set up a system that does not
allow price signals to be sent to consumers and even after prices go up, you
can't just keep shielding consumers from price signals and get no response."
Power demand from California's industries and 32 million residents has
increased dramatically, but the state has not seen any new generating
capacity added in about 10 years. The crisis there has been blamed on
California's own 1996 power deregulation law, which required utilities to buy
energy on the spot market, where prices have skyrocketed, but maintained caps
on the rates they could charge consumers. The problem was then compounded by
California's own surging demand, resulting in the rolling blackouts and
voluntary power cutbacks of the past months.

You are not going to tell John that you can't make dinner.  You need to go.  I can't stay out that long anyway, but I am planning on leaving early.  Why are you torturing yourself by reading that e-mail?  A tubby?  Is that what you call a bath?  Cute.  It doesn't bother me to talk to you about anything.  You can talk to me anytime.  Studying?  Are you kidding, I just got home and I am not motivated at all.  I think that I am kidding myself about trying to go to school.  I don't want to do anything but sit on the couch.  I have gotten so lazy.  That is why I am going to start playing soccer again in January.  You can make fun of me if you want to.  Cheer up.

John:

I have a friend, Matt Whittaker,  that has a small power plant construction company.  They specialise in fast track projects using used turbines.  A small niche, but he has made some decent money doing it.  He asked me a few days ago if Enron would have any interest in a very small 35-40 MW project in California for a cement plant.  According to him, the cement plant is owned by Hanson plc and they have a site that has been permitted by the local air quality board for a used turbine that he has located and can have up and running by summer.  What he says they want is someone like Enron to develop the inside the fence plant and help them capture any upside from a potential expansion of the facility. (apparently the site is capable of supporting a larger facility, but that requires further permitting.)

I have done no independent verification of this and it may not be real, but thought you might be interested.  If so, Matt can be reached at 713-660-7171 office or 713-823-7222 cell.  Have whoever calls reference me.  If you are not interested, just let me know and I will tell him its of no interest.  If someone calls, please ask them to drop me an email so I can act like I know who they are if Matt brings it up.

Thanks and call if you have any questions.

Rick,
Please find below a news article by Reuters on the visit that Venezuela's foreign Minister, Luis Alfonso Davila, is paying to USG officials. In it is clearly reflected the tension of the Venezuelan Government towards the US: is its main customer for its main product so they need the US desperately, and on the other hand the rejection to the "neoliberal" capitalist system that the US represents, together with the embargo to Cuba issue. Regards,
ALF

USA: Venezuelan minister seeks better ties with U.S.

08/27/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.

WASHINGTON, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Venezuelan Foreign Minister Luis Alfonso Davila said on Monday his country wants closer ties to the United States, but he opened his visit to Washington with a scathing attack on foreign and economic policies supported by the United States.
"There is a new religious dogma: neoliberalism. It asks us to bow submissively before globalization," Davila said in a speech at the Organization of American States after arriving in Washington from a visit to Havana. He said a "perverse" economic globalization, driven by a desire to accumulate wealth, was undermining peoples' cultural identities and leaving poor nations with large debts. The protest movement against globalization, which began in Seattle and flared up in violence in Quebec and Genoa this year, had prompted a rethinking of the world economy, he said. Davila also criticized the U.S. economic embargo against Cuba's Communist government, to which Venezuela has drawn close since President Hugo Chavez, a former military officer, was elected in 1998.

But Davila, who will meet on Tuesday with President George W. Bush's top adviser on Latin America, John Maisto, said Venezuela 's populist government wanted to improve its ties with the United States, its main oil market. He said Venezuela had opened its doors to foreign investment and had remained a trustworthy oil supplier, while supporting higher but stable prices for crude oil. "Our government considers the United States to be a friend. We want to deepen our relations. They can be improved," Davila told reporters after his speech. Davila said Venezuela had offered to help the United States avoid an energy crisis.
Venezuela , one of the United States' four top suppliers, has the largest oil reserves outside the Middle East.
Chavez, who led a coup attempt in 1992, was elected with widespread popular support on a mandate to clean up corruption in Venezuela . He has annoyed Washington by criticizing U.S. policies in Latin America, mainly U.S. military aid to fight the drug war in neighboring Colombia, and by visiting Iraq and Libya to strengthen OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Hi Guys,

We don't expect to deal with the facility agreement until around 130, so
there isn't a need for Lee to listen to the rest unless he wants to.  Lee,
you are more than welcome to come in person, in which case I can give you
some exectued change orders.

I suggest a quick conference call to discuss.  How's tomorrow (Thursday) at 2
pm work for folks?  Let me know and I'll set up a call-in number.


I've killed the Cal-Imbalance deal I entered under Short Term West BOM for 5/14 - 609174 - as well as the inter-desk swap between STCA and West BOM - 609240.

I double-checked Real Time Position Manager and the Forward Obligations report for this day, and all looks fine. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it remains that way until tomorrow morning.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Kate
