IN THIS WEEK'S ISSUE:
1. Revised Draft No Better Than Original
2. The Second Amendment, the Courts and the Professoriate
3. Why "Smart Growth" Isn't

-------------------------------------------------------------

REVISED DRAFT NO BETTER THAN ORIGINAL

Although President Bush said he would resist efforts to reinstate
conscription, its growing popularity among the pundit class is likely
to make the draft an important topic in upcoming public debate. But
don't expect this discussion to exactly parallel the debate that led
to its termination in 1973.

Today's "war against terrorism" is creating a dynamic that is
redrawing the domestic political landscape, creating new coalitions
potentially strong enough to have the draft reinstated.

Most of the nation's political groups have factions that would like
to see some type of involuntary servitude, be they anti-capitalist
"progressives" who want to see the best of the nation's youth
derailed from the career fast track, nationalistic "conservatives"
who want to mandate "patriotism" and reinvigorate a strong sense of
nation-consciousness, or Demopublican "moderates," such as Secretary
of State Colin Powell, who want youth to make "voluntarism" a high
priority.

But just as the war on terrorism is "like no other war" (Bush), so
the next draft is not your father's draft. Charles Moskos and Paul
Glastris, writing in the WASHINGTON POST, make clear that the new
draft will be packaged not as a cheap, quick way to enlarge the
military, but as a new form of government-assisted public expression
of the conscripts' values, i.e., a form of choice! Draftees will thus
have their pick among, for example, the armed services, homeland
defense jobs, such as airport security, and civilian national-service
programs, such as AmeriCorps. As Independent Institute senior fellow
Robert Higgs says, "some choice."

"Moskos and Glastris's proposal raises several important questions,"
writes Higgs, "none of which they see fit to consider. Perhaps in a
follow-up article they will tell us: Whatever happened to the idea
that every person, even a young man, has inalienable rights to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Whatever happened to the idea
that a just government is instituted to secure these rights, not to
crush them underfoot upon the earliest pretext? What exactly do we
gain if we can defend ourselves only by destroying the very heart and
soul of what it is about this country that deserves defending?"

(LewRockwell.com, 11/15/01), at
http://www.independent.org/tii/lighthouse/LHLink3-46-1.html.

-------------------------------------------------------------

THE SECOND AMENDMENT, THE COURTS AND THE PROFESSORIATE

The most important firearm case in years, United States v. Emerson,
was a solid victory for the rights of gun owners. One of the
strengths of the decision, rendered earlier this year by the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, was its citation of the vast
body of scholarship that supports the individual rights
interpretation of the Second Amendment, as well as numerous
statements made by America's founders showing that "the right of the
people to keep and bear arms" was intended to protect an individual
right. This alone will help ensure that the correct interpretation of
the Second Amendment will spread, as jurists, attorneys, and law
students study the decision's citations for years to come.

Critics of the individual-rights interpretation, however, have not
relented. But neither has Independent Institute research fellow and
Second Amendment attorney Stephen Halbrook, author of the classic
book, THAT EVERY MAN BE ARMED: The Evolution of a Constitutional
Right, as he made clear in two recent replies to prominent law school
professors.

According to Prof. Michael Dorf of Columbia University Law School,
despite the Emerson decision the individual-rights interpretation of
the Second Amendment is as much a "fraud on the American public" as
when ex-Chief Justice Warren Burger passed that judgement nearly
twelve years ago. Halbrook, however, explains that the Emerson "is
the first ever federal appellate opinion to contribute an adequate
textual analysis of the Second Amendment." Thus, the decision
observed that "throughout the Constitution, the 'people' have
'rights' and 'powers,' but federal and state governments only have
'powers' or 'authority,' never 'rights.'"

Further, says Dorf, the Second Amendment protects only an armed
militia, as indicated by the preamble, "A well regulated militia,
being necessary to the security of a free state...." Responds
Halbrook: "But as Emerson explains, this preamble announces the
objective of securing a free state by a militia, which in turn is
encouraged by and drawn from the people who exercise the right to
keep and bear arms." Similarly, Halbrook easily dispatches numerous
other distortions by Dorf.

Unlike Dorf, constitutional scholars Amar Akhil (Yale) and Vikram
Amar (UC Hastings) have a generally correct assessment about the
Emerson decision but are guilty of committing a few historical
oversights. For example, the Amars state that "the Emerson court
found only one clear nonmilitary use of the phrase before 1798," but
they overlook numerous statements by Jefferson, Madison and Adams
explicitly advocating the protection of a right to keep and bear
firearms for self-defense.

WHY "SMART GROWTH" ISN'T

High-density living, characterized by "transit villages" close to
public transportation, will reduce air pollution, save commuters from
the aggravation of traffic congestion and contribute to an improved
quality of life in our communities, according to proponents of the
faddish "smart growth" movement.

Are these claims true? Would we be better off moving back to the
cities and junking our cars?

According to urban economists Daniel Klein and Randal O'Toole -- who
discussed these questions in our Oct. 3rd Independent Policy Forum,
"Smarter Urban Growth: Markets or Bureaucracy?" --  the "smart
growth" movement is "smart" in name only, since many of its policies
work against their intended goals.

Smart growth advocates uphold public rail systems in European cities
as models but ignore the fact that with few exceptions American
cities lack the population density needed to make rail systems
cost-effective. And with good reason: automobiles are more flexible,
faster, affordable, safe and comfortable. And as cars have improved
in quality, the U.S. urban public transit market has been shrinking.
Hence, cities that build rail systems display little economic sense
but plenty of what Klein called "infrastructure envy."

O'Toole pointed out that the costs of smart growth are significantly
larger than its proponents recognize. Drawing largely upon the
experience of Portland, Oregon, O'Toole showed how smart-growth
policies have led to escalating housing prices, tied up the 98% of
the state that remains rural open space, and contributed to bad
traffic congestion and air pollution.

I just got a call from Susan Ginsberg at El Paso.  It seems they have heard from FERC staff that INGAA is showing up an awful lot to talk about the marketing affiliate rule and why there should not be any changes, but they wonder why, if they really are separate companies, the affiliates have not been in to talk to FERC themselves.  I think we have already heard this message, but El Paso wants to set up a group to go into FERC.  THey are setting up a conference call for next Thur with some other companies to discuss this issue.  I told them we would be in on the call (we don't have to, tho) but that we may not want to go into FERC with that group.

Would anyone like to be on the call next week, or have any problem with my participation in the call?  Shall we talk about going to FERC to give them our position?  (or should we just tell them to read our comments)

Please note that there is a new deal entered today to transfer the BOM portion of the UAMPS deal from LT-SW to ST-WR per Matt's request. The deal details are:

Index-Option: 807382.1
Term: 10/8/01 - 10/31/01
(we use the same method to pick the hours as we use for the CSU option)
The MTM value calculated from this deal for ST-WR is $30,685.

For Monday strip:
Index-Forward: 807382.2
Term: 10/8/01 - 10/8/01
HE 11 - 10mws
HE 12-14  -  25mws
per Holden.

The BOM strips for the index-option deal #804470 in LT-SW have been zeroed out.

An annuity deal #807428 was entered for the difference between $2.5 MM (per Matt) and $30,685 = $2,469,315, for LT-SW Buy from ST-WR.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

To change your password in the Stack Manager, once logged on, go to toolbar &
select "Help" and then select "Change Password".
The system will request you to enter your NEW password twice.

To change your passsword in EOL Reports, open the Reports application, log
in, select "Options" and "Change Password".The system will request you to
enter your NEW password twice. Please note that the password change
functionality within the Reports application is new. If it does not appear on
your menu and you are running on a standalone machine, you will need to
logout at the windows level and then login again to receive the updated
version.

Hi Marie -

I now have executed assignments from UOM and Dynegy.  I called Eric Twombly
at Sempra and he said that they may have sent it directly to Enron (you??).
I want to call Eric again today, but wanted to make sure first that he
indeed had not send the originals directly back to you - which is not what I
requested.

Please let me know - and thanks,
Roeline

To be honest, my gut reaction was to take the cash, but since Dylan had
already
done a lot of work in the other direction I didn't have the time to redraft
everything so, like you, I went with the flow.  Interesting thing about last
nights discussion, almost the entire class disagreed with much of his
premise
which was that there was no real need for Time to vertically integrate.

there was a strong case for that. only thing preventing was the internal
DCF of the time-warner deal being 183-212 (or something)---so why didn't
the market put that value on it?  I went with what i thought the flow of

Kendal:
This is my last day at Enron, so I apologize for not getting back to you
earlier this week to try to wrap up the CP&L EEI master -- there were many
loose ends I had to tie up and I've run out of time.  So Carol St Clair
(another lawyer in our group) will be pursuing the EEI master with you, with
Genia Fitzgerald's help.

As for NC Power HOldings -- there is no EEI Master  for the daily call option
transaction, and there won't be one.  We decided to pursue this transaction
as a one-off deal on our "long-form" confirm b/c the credit terms we would
have required of CP&L for an EEI Master were troubling to CP&L and would have
delayed the transaction beyond the point that the parties found tolerable.
Now, of course, CP&L has worked through some of those issues, but at the
time, we just decided to use another approach.

Hope this answers your question.  It was a pleasure working with you and I
hope our paths will cross again.

Media Q & A

What did you receive from the SEC?
Enron received a letter and subsequent phone call requesting that we voluntarily provide information regarding certain related party transactions.

When did you receive the request from the SEC?
We received a fax on Wednesday afternoon, October 19, 2001, and a phone call on Thursday afternoon, October 20, 2001.

What did you do about the request from the SEC when you received it?
An informal inquiry is not a material event; however, because of the high visibility of Enron and the recent public spotlight on the transaction, we convened a meeting of our Board as soon as possible.  We recommended that we announce the SEC request; the Board agreed, and we made the release prior to the market opening on Monday, October 22, 2001.

What are you going to do about the request?
We are cooperating fully with the SEC and see the request as an opportunity to put this issue behind us.

These message points will be constantly changing and we will update you as the changes occur.

With regard to your questions, I have written my answers in red below:

1. In the EMU Protocol language they want to add a reference to Section 6.
I'm not sure why but wanted your thoughts on this.  Are there any
circumstances under which we do not adopt the Protocol provisions?

This is something that should be run by Paul Simons in London as our EMU
wording came straight from him. He would know what Section 6 refers to (I
don't) and whether we should agree to its inclusion.

2. They want to define the FX Definitions as the 1998 FX and Currency Option
Definitions as amended and supplemented by the 1998 ISDA Euro Definitions.
Is this okay?  What is the effect of this?  Should we change our form to do
this?  With respect generally to the FX and Currency Option Definitions, as a
general rule are they always incorporated by reference into the terms of any
FX and Currency Option transaction even if it is electronically confirmed?
They wanted to add language to that section of our form specifically stating
this.

I didn't even know that the 1998 ISDA Euro Definitions existed and I wonder
what the purpose is.  Seeing as how the 1998  FX and Currency Option
Definitions came out in 1998 (the same year as the Euro Definitions) one
would think that any necessary euro/FX/currency  language would have been
incorporated in the 1998 FX Definitions, instead of making a separate
definitional booklet.  You might ask Dresdner what they think it adds to make
reference to the 1998 ISDA Euro Definitions. You might also look on the ISDA
Website or ask Paul Simons (in case he knows)  to see if ISDA intended for
the 1998 ISDA Euro Definitions to supplement the 1998  FX and Currency Option
Definitions.

If we did include such a reference to the 1998 ISDA Euro Definitions, then
they would be deemed to apply to any FX or Currency Option Transaction, where
relevant.

With regard to electronically confirmed transactions, this point is addressed
in clause (a) of our FX language.  This wording is something everyone wants
to have in their Agreement since most FX trades and some Currency Option
trades are confirmed over an electronic messaging system that doesn't use
ISDA style confirms, and thus doesn't refer to any ISDA Definitions.

Hope this is helpful - call me if you want to discuss anything.

As we return to our regular business activities following last week's tragic events, we wanted to disseminate as widely as possible the following information on security and travel.  Updates will be posted as necessary under "bulletins" on the Corporate Security website located at www.home.enron.com.

We do not believe that any terrorist groups will target Enron's employees or facilities.  As a precautionary measure, however, we have increased security in and around our facilities.  We urge all employees to maintain a heightened sense of awareness and to immediately report any suspicious activity to Enron Corporate Security in Houston at (713) 345-2804.

All non-essential business travel should be postponed until further notice.   Airline schedules and flights will be disrupted for some time - and bomb hoaxes, false alarms, and increased security measures will result in additional delays and disruptions.  In addition, all carriers, particularly U.S. carriers and those of U.S. allies such as Israel and NATO member countries, may be at risk for copycat hijackings.

	We realize that, as Enron conducts its business, some air travel is unavoidable.   Enron employees who wish to discuss their travel options should contact Corporate Security at (713) 345-2804 or via email at CorporateSecurity@enron.com.

	U.S. military action in retaliation for the terrorist attacks may result in violent Islamic extremist reactions in a number of countries, particularly in Afghanistan, Yemen, and Pakistan, as well as in Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Gaza/West Bank, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria and Tajikistan.  Reactions could take the form of acts by individuals or organized groups against U.S. government or commercial facilities.  All travel to or through these countries should be canceled.

Most of the U.S.' busiest airports have implemented the FAA's stepped-up security measures and are open and operating, with the exception of Washington Reagan National Airport.  If you are traveling by air, allow plenty of time to check in under these new security procedures.  Contact your carrier directly to find out about flight schedules and specific boarding requirements.  You can find more information on the new security standards as well as a list of airports that have certified they can meet the new security standards on the FAA's website at http://www.faa.gov.

Rick/Vince,

Should this not be a Credit/Research initiative while the business unit
focuses on originating good economic transactions?  Not to be complaining,
but shouldn't EES be focusing on infrastructure issues rather than waste
resources on a project we are already moving forward on?  You can't run a
portfolio model, unless you have deals in a risk system!  How complex do we
want these MODELS to be?  Behavioral implications on credit default?  They
still don't seem to understand.

Bill

Mark - please attend.  You may want to include Martin to help EES understand
the complexity of their deals.

Subject: Credit Risk Model Comments - at this point.

Hi everyone,

I have run the model and, along with the contract briefs I have some
questions & ideas. I was hoping to talk to each of you so I could avoid
writing this detailed, one-sided e-mail, but with our schedules being so
exclusive, this will have to do for now.

Every deal has its own model because of the commodity deal structure
complexity. So no aggregate results can be obtained without having the models
for each contract. However, the JC Penny,s version can serve as a testing
platform for some of the items I am mentioning below. I have not talked to
the people in research who are the most knowledgeable about the model, so
some of these comments may be mute points. I plan to do that went I get back.

1) Since the credit risk is developed for a time period, it makes sense to
regularly update the commodity data (and credit rating if its chaged) and
re-run the model for the time remaining.  I would expect this is done already.

2) The default probabilities seem not to change. That is, if the input credit
rating is E1, then the E1 default probability curve is used for the contract
period. For annual accounting that seems OK, but in MTM, it seems to me that
the credit analysis needs to take into consideration the credit rating
transition probabilities.  That is, the credit implications of companies
changing their credit rating during the contract period. with some
constraints imposed by actually slow credits appear to change would give a
more realistic view of our credit risk in the MTM world.

3) Are all "defaults" created equal to us? Look at OC. It seems to me that
the data used to develop the default probabilities are over different
business segments and are OK ----for that range of companies. However, we are
dealing with specific types of firms where "default" may not mean we do not
get paid. Sure we still have some credit risk, but it,s not like Montgomery
Ward,s where the lights are being turned off for good. Energy is so
fundamental for a company,s success and default actions can be used as a way
to save a company albeit in a different form.  So financial default does not
neccesarily mean default for EES commodity payments totally.

4) A while back someone said to me that may, maybe the people who reach for a
life preserver are more likely to live than those that don,t. By that I mean
that, perhaps our use of these default probabilities actually overstates the
credit risk in that if a company has at least enough proactive vision to
contract EES, then they are more likely to improve that one that doesn,t.
This is a type of behavioral variable that the data doesn,t consider. This
would be a useful MBA project to examine these types of corporate variables
and compare it to their credit rating forward curve.

5) This leads me to something I hope we can acomplish in the special finance
team. The contract briefs are, to me, the begimnning of this exercise.  If we
can combine our customers into "exposure group portfolios" (for lack of a
better term), where a group has similar "risk characteristics" beyind the
current parameter set, that we define, then this offers a potential to shop
some of these exposure to specialized insurance markets.

6) A technical point. Monte Carlo simulations are numerical experiments.
Besides the model assumptions, numerical experiments have three inherent
error attributes; the number of trials, numerical roundoff, and random number
generator randomness statistical properties. The first two are not a problem
in this application but the last one could be. Has anyone examined the effect
of using different random number generators on Enron,s aggregate credit risk?

7) There is one last point here. For most of the above points, the "improved"
analysis could make the credit risk be higher.

Rick

do not need to bring any equipment. We have any kind you need. Are you
staying at Holiday Hotel ? I will speak to you on the day of your arrival.
Hope to see you soon.

Although I would prefer to see the counterparty name for failed transactions,
it is not of great importance and I certainly understand a third party system
not supplying us with that info.

John,

As you are probably aware we did a click through deal with Houston Street,
whereby EOL prices would be posted on their platform. The initial thought was
that this would be transparent to the trading desks; they wouldn't care
whether the trade came from Houston Street, True Quote or EOL (although we
could make the platform name available to you if you so desired.) This still
will be the case except for one problem: Houston Street does not want us to
reveal the counterparty name to the trader in the event of a failed
transaction. I don't know whether this is an issue for you or not, but I
would like to know. We will probably run into this issue with any platform we
deal with for obvious anonymity reasons. I would really appreciate your
thoughts/concerns.

-Andy


Joe,

Any interest in speaking?

Subject: Invitation to speak at Infocast's Managing Summer Price Volatilit y
Conference in Houston

Dear Ms. Kaminsky:
As I just mentioned on your voicemail, Infocast is going to host a  Managing
Summer Price Volatility course, January 30 - February 1, 2001 in Houston.
The course will focus on the various tools at hand to manage summer price
and load volatility.  Our target audience for this event will primarily be
risk managers and managers in bulk power sales & purchase (our secondary
target audience is energy traders).

Attached you will find a draft program agenda for your review.  Please let
me know if you or someone else at Enron is interested in presenting at this
event.  In particular, we are looking for someone to talk about weather
derivatives.

I appreciate you taking the time to review the conference schedule and I
hope that I will have an opportunity to talk to you. Unfortunately, I am
running behind schedule in finalizing this program.  I will call tomorrow to
see what your feedback is.  If you have any questions or suggestions, please
do not hesitate to contact me at (818) 888-4445 ext. 30.

Sincerely,

Britta Bothe

Kay & Rahil:  Just to make my position clear, if legal determines that an EEI is still necessary with this counterparty then we should go forward with pursuing an EEI agreement.

The credit position is that if the deal needs to get done soon, then let's just use the GTCs and we can follow up later with an EEI (if deemed necessary by legal).  If we can wait a couple of weeks, then let's go forward with negotiating an EEI now.

Hopefully this clarifies our position.  Sorry for the confusion.  If the later is the case, then Rahil, I will need to get financial statements from the counterparty and review.

Thank you.

Kortney

Pursuant to the Cogentrix Eastern Carolina, LLC transaction described in this email and your later draft term sheet, credit has determined that an EEI does not need to be in place with the counterparty and that we would be able to transact under the long-confirm form.

To provide a little bit of explanation for you:

A Master EEI is preferable when the counterparty is planning on doing long-term, large volume transactions.  Therefore, we have very specific terms and conditions that do not have as much ambiguity as within the GTCs.

In terms of unit contingent or interruptible power - credit would like to get a clear definition of whether the cp is sleeving "unit contingent" power versus "interruptible" power, since there are varying degrees of risk inherent in the two separate transactions and we would like to gain an understanding of the term and type of power this will be.

Thanks Rahil.

Kay,

Below are some answers to your questions re. Cogentrix.  Please let me know if you have any more.

Power could be sold on a Day-Ahead or an Hourly basis.
They will give us a flat bogie and we will use that in our decision making.
Kenansville is a coal-fired, 30MW, plant.
We will be selling power at their bus point.  Any transmission cost, if/when incurred, will be treated on a pass-through basis.
The Min-Max decision on the number of MW's is their operational decision, and we will let them decide once we send them a draft of the revised contract.

Day ahead only?

How do we work together to set the bogie? I know on the MDEA deal there was an agreement on how it was calculated, including an agreement re the heat rates of the various units.

Is this a gas only facility?

How do we handle the transmission costs, or will we be selling the power at the same spot they are delivering it?

Are there minimum units of energy they will start their facility up for?

Thanks,

Kay

We'll be marketing power from their Kenansville plant on a unit contingent basis.  Together, we will establish a bogie price (their marginal cost of generation), and any value we can get them above this bogie price will earn us 25% of the extra upside we manage to get them.  They have a right to terminate with a 30-day notice and/or sell their power to other third parties at anytime.

Getting warmer.  Could you send me an email with a brief description of how you see us marketing their energy.


Nice compliment.  We shoudl discuss putting together an automated sheet each
day for cash trading.  Please get together with me and the fundies group to
work out a report.

Thanks,
Mike


Sorry it took me so long to respond.  We has a staff meeting that I just got back from.

Please accept my apologies for this worksheet's absence yesterday. It was
undergoing cosmetic improvements to more accurately represent the EES-EPMI
position. Note two new column headings as of 3/27 - "Transmission" and "Other
EnPower" deals. Also, a change has been made to the SP-15 volumes in the 3/2
sheet. This change was made per Daniel Kang at EES and Chris Foster at EPMI.
And as always, feel free to contact me with questions.
