Thanks for you comments.  I did this prior to the meeting w/Keeley
yesterday.  I assume that, if this thing gets off the ground, we'll have the
opportunity to get this thoughts into whatever it is that the legislature
produces.

Jeff and all:  I agree with your thoughts as to the need for amendments re
DA customers that have never purchased DWR power, call it amend. 1.  I also
agree with your proposal re customers that leave bundled service for direct
access service only having to pay for the costs actually incurred by DWR on
their behalf, call it amend. 2.  I think it is a stretch, however, to
propose an exemption for any customer that leaves bundled for DA by
September 1, call it amend. 3.  This appears to be inconsistent with amend.
2.  I agree with you re amend. 4, deletion of language ending DA.  Bill

Subject: Bond Leg Language, etc.

Greetings:

Hope everyone had a pleasant 4th.

I've read the respective Burton and Hertzberg language on amending AB 1X.
The Burton language looks cleaner and simpler, though there may be reasons
to include some of the Hertzberg language, too.

I'm proposing to the group the following as potential amendments to the
bond bill.  I would appreciate your feedback.  The amendments would be as
follows:

   Customers who were on Direct Access when DWR started buying power (Jan.
   17th?), and are still on Direct Access when the bill passes, should be
   exempt from paying for the bonds.

In short, customers should not be forced to pay for power twice--once from
their ESP, and once from DWR.  Since these customers receive power services
from their ESP, they never consumed DWR power in the first place and it
wouldn't be fair to require them to pay for it.

   Customers who have been utility customers since DWR started buying power
   but subsequently switched to Direct Access should only pay for power
   provided by DWR that they actually consumed, no more and no less.

For example, if a customer was a utility customer when DWR started buying
power but switched to Direct Access on May 1st, then the customer would
only be responsible for reimbursing DWR for power deliveries that took
place from Jan. 17th thru April 30th.

I believe that we agreed on these concepts during the negotiations that
took place over the past 4-5 weeks.  Or if we didn't explicitly agree
during the talks, they seem to be principles on which we ought to be able
to agree pretty easily now. And rather than leave the issue hanging, which
can create unnecessary and costly uncertainty for customers, I suggest that
we include very clear and simple legislative language in the bond bill
clarifying what customers' obligations are.  Your thoughts are appreciated.

In addition, we have talked quite a bit about providing customers with
incentives in the attempt to get California out of the energy hole that it
finds itself in.  Providing (20KW and above) customers with an incentive to
switch to Direct Access as soon as possible could 1) reduce the net short
position that the state (and ultimately consumers) have to finance, thereby
reducing spot purchases and price volatility,  2) reduce electricity
purchasing costs, and 3) reduce the burden on the state budget.

With this in mind, I'm also proposing that the group consider an amendment
to the bond bill that would exempt from bond charges any customer that
switches to Direct Access by September 1st.

Finally, it seems odd that the language directing the PUC to suspend Direct
Access is still in the bill.  If a dedicated rate component is created,
that seems to eliminate altogether the need to suspend Direct Access.  And
if that's the case, would it make sense to delete that language from the
bill?

Look forward to your comments and working with you to get support for and
passage of the "core/noncore" proposal.

Best,
Jeff

While incentivizing the deal may be helpful from a business perspective, I'm
not sure it will do much with the timing at the SEC.  As you know, there are
two major issues: (i) the integration, which we believe we have more or less
under control, and (ii) the capital structure of the resulting system, which
is dependent in the first instance on the timing of the Sierra auction.

The cap structure is a very serious issue.  There is a perception on the part
of the staff that Sierra is significantly overextended.  As you know, the SEC
generally requires registered holding companies to maintain a minimum of 30%
common equity.  Currently, the best that Sierra can offer is that they will
be at 20.8% common equity at closing, with a representation that Sierra will
increase its consolidated common equity to approximately 29 percent as a
result of: (a) proceeds from the sale of generating assets of Sierra Pacific
and Nevada Power aggregating approximately $1 billion, 100 percent of which
will reduce debt of the consolidated company; (b) proceeds from divestiture
of non-core assets, or some combination of common equity and divestiture of
non-core assets, which together would be approximately equivalent to the
issuance of $260 million in terms of impact on Sierra Pacific's equity ratio;
(c) issuance of up to $600 million of hybrid securities; and (d) increased
retained earnings realized from the combined operations of Sierra and PGE
aggregating approximately $80 million in 2000 and $100 million in 2001.

In other matters, the SEC staff has indicated that it would give "credit"
toward equity capitalization if the company has executed definitive
agreements for sale of the subject assets.  What is the status of the Sierra
auction, and how quickly will they have signed agreements?

Concerning state issues and the intervenorts, Steve Oldham and the folks from
Skadden are meeting with the GC of the Nevada Commission (at his request)
next week to clean up the Nevada issues so I don't think that will be a
problem.

What remains is the monkey wrench intervenors throw into any 1935 Act
proceeding.  Regardless of how successful we are on the above issues, the
presence of the California intervenors means that the matter must be
presented to the full SEC for consideration.  Because of the delays inherent
in that process, we will need all FERC and state issues resolved by
September, or early October at the latest, in order to have a realistic
chance at a year-end order.

The only other thing that might prove helpful would be a price escalation
provision so we could tell the SEC that there is a significant cost
associated with their failure to act in FY 2000.  There are a number of
concerns with this approach: among other things, we would have to explain to
the SEC why we're inserting it now.

I realize this is a bit long-winded but it seems we're getting close to our
last best shot at year end and I'd think we'd want to plan our strategy
carefully.

Best,

Joanne

A meeting with Walt Higgins has been scheduled for Thursday in Las
Vegas and attendees from Enron will be Mark, Mitch and Steve.  The
discussions will probably be more global than specific, however I'ld like
everyone to forward to me their wish list  of items so I can summarize them
for Mark prior to their meeting.  I'ld also appreciate input from everyone
on the impact of amending the stock purchase agreement ( i.e. incorporating
some incentive type payment if the deal closes this year) and the
sensitivity to the timing of that amendment. What is the impact if it is
done 1) prior to OPUC settlement, 2) prior to the Oregon Commission ruling,
or 3) before or after the FERC addresses our filing.
After collecting peoples input, I'll circulate the summary this
afternoon.
Paul , could you please forward this to Mike Morgan - I didn't have
his e-mail address.

Ken, Jeff and Louise,

Below please find links for the Multimedia version of the Harvard cases completed in final form last month.  The text of the multimedia case is the same as that previously forwarded.  I have reviewed these multimedia cases and they are very cool!

I will be forwarding Releases to each of you for signature.  Please return the releases as soon as possible as Meg Wozny at Harvard, with whom I've been working on these for the past few months, is leaving HBS at the end of June--I'd like for her to have the satisfaction of finalizing this project before she leaves.

Harvard reports that these cases are best sellers!  Also, we enjoyed an "Enron day"at Harvard April 26th; it received such rave reviews that Harvard has requested a similar event for this summer.

Thanks to all of you for your participation and help!

--Christie.

I anticipate that Enron may have some legal issues in New York similar to
the issues Enron has faced in California.  Can you recommend a top notch
trial lawyer (similar to yourself) at any firms in New York?


The Flu Vaccine may come in and be available in the next couple of week.
Since Enron let us know in October to not rely on Enron alone for
vaccinations, most of you may have already have shots.

But, if you plan to be vaccinated at Enron, they are taking requests by
e-mail, and will contact those of the waiting list when the vaccine is
here.   You would sign up using Health_Center.com.

For any other questions, call Health Center at x3-6100.

To the great and powerful Research Group:

As you may know, Moody's has recently upgraded Enron from Baa2 to Baa1.
We had been on watch for an upgrade for a while and after their intitial
credit meeting, they still had questions primarily related to our control of
market and credit risk.  To that end, Jeff McMahon and Tim Despain had Rick
Buy, Bill Bradford and I meet with eight members of the Moody's team.  The
questions centered around policy and procedure in the Wholesale businesses.
We discussed VAR, stress testing and potential credit exposure.  To make a
long story short, subsequent to that meeting, they reconvened their committee
and announced the upgrade.

I want you to know how critical your contribution was to the discussion and
will continue to be as the bar gets raised.  I am sure that next year they
will continue to be concerned with our risk management capabilities as well
as extensions of our current platform - tail risk, intra day risk,
operational risk, and enterprise wide risk.

Thank you for your efforts in supporting RAC - it has tangible benefits.

Ted

p.s. - there is still lots of interesting opportunities to extend the
paradigm


Corporate comp is relooking at your contract based on our converstion..ieyou would be entitled to severance payment eqyual to 2 year salary and bonus should you decide to leave the company provided that all or substantially all of the Azurix assts other than ?Wessex and Azurix Bu7enos Aires are sold.

I will meet with Jim Derrick today to discuss John Ale.

With regard to Beckett and Glasford; their agreements provide for retention bonuses provided they stay until September 16th.  If they voluntarily leave before that they get nothing.  There is no employment agreements in place that link anything to comparable positions titles or anything else.  Should we move them over to Enron in Director positions and they are subsequently offerred positions elsewhere in Enron ( once we dispose of non-Wessex and ABA assets) at Director positions, then they have a choice of  accepting those positions or voluntarily terminating.  Since there is no contractual agreements with these two I do not want to offer any kind of enhanced severance payments to them.  I have contacted Ben Glisan regarding Glasford and he is polling his people about their view on an appropiate placement for him.

I will talk with you when you return.

Thanks.


I guess we were wrong.

We were totally surprised by the a.g.a. number.  We need to work on are
ability to predict it.

Therefore, we probably net sold contracts today and will be under our 40
Million limit.   I don't think there is any reason to change what we did
today.  We will keep it in our pocket for 10 days unless you disagree.

John

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

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

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

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


Hi, Michael - hope all is well.

Just curious if London might be interested in a George Washington University
MBA (International Business) looking for work in London or Europe.  She is a
family friend.  She is bilingual (Swedish and English) and fluent in French
and German.  She also has work experience.  I am going to send her resume to
HR in Houston and suggest her for the analyst/associate program.  However, I
wasn't certain as to whether the London/European offices worked through a
different processs.  Please let me know if you think there may be some
interest.

Attached for your review in the Gallup Transaction are the following
documents:

 1.  Assignment and Contribution Agreement - Assignment operational documents
and rights in assets from ECS into the LLC

 2.  Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Agreement -  Defines
relationship between ECS and Enron Engineering and Construction   Company for
installation of the motor driver at Gallup.  This document will be assigned
into the LLC except for that portion which relates to the electric power
transmission line.  The utility will take ownership of the transmission line
per the power purchase agreement.

Also forwarded via hard copy yesterday, was the executed Power Purchase
Agreement.  Please let me know if you have not received this yet.

I will shortly email the form of gas purchase agreement between the LLC and
ECS.  This will merely be a new Confirm (Transaction Agreement "C") which
will operate under the existing Enfolio Master Firm Purchase Agreement
between ECS and the LLC which was created for Kachina.

Hey Ashley,

Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that I will be in London
this Friday through next Tuesday.  I'm visiting a friend of mine who is
attending Sotheby's graduate program.  I know it's short notice, but I would
love to see you at some point while I'm over there.  If you get a chance
email me back and let me know if you're free any of those days and how I can
get a hold of you while I'm over there.  Hope all is well.

Susan

Don,

Your math seems correct to me. Keep that in mind our NI includes PPA value
through amortization. Use attached model, which has better format if you
will. Jin

Jinsung,

Please check my math on the p/e page.


Enron has consented to allow the Federal Bureau of Investigation to search the Enron Building and to interview employees regarding allegations of document destruction.  The company encourages all employees to fully cooperate with the FBI.

The company has retained Michael Levy and his law firm Swidler, Berlin, Shereff, Friedman, to advise any employee regarding this matter and to be present with them during any interviews by government investigators.  If you would like to speak with an attorney, please contact Ned Crady of the Legal Department at 3-4558 or contact Michael Levy's office in Washington, D.C. at 202-295-8414 and they will direct you to him here in Houston.


Kam,

I have moved all the EAST-GULF4 books to Chuck Ames's folder. Please call me if you have any questions.
