Jeff,

Have you had a chance to convey what I said to the group, and can I join?
Professor Aceves was aware that I talked to you about joining your group, and
he sent me an email asking to confirm that I was now in a group. I'd certainly
like to be! As you know, I want to make sure I am in one to do the next
assignment with. Please let me know, so that if I am joining your group I can
make the meetings and contribute to the next case. I do really appreciate your
help. :)

Thanks,
Christine

PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ENRON STOCK FUND IN THE ENRON CORP. SAVINGS AND ESOP PLANS

On Friday, January 11, trading of Enron stock was suspended on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).  All Savings and ESOP Plan transactions, including 401(k) payroll contributions,  involving this fund were placed in a pending status until trading resumed.

As announced by Enron's Office of the Chair on Wednesday, January 16, Enron stock would now be traded Over The Counter (OTC).  Upon receiving this information, work began immediately to develop a process that allows for OTC trades in the plans.

On Thursday, January 17, Enron initiated a process to facilitate OTC trades of Enron stock inside the 401(k) and ESOP and all pending transactions were processed using Thursday's closing price.

Now that trading has resumed, we urge you to review your investment elections to ensure that they are consistent with your investment goals.

As things change, we will continue to update you.

Enron Benefits Department


Pursuant to the below email and our discussions today, pls find attached the list forward by Todd Delahoussaye, Financial Deal Compliance, which includes all the deals entered into with Morgan Stanley Capital Group. The deal no is QH4715.

I am also forwarding you the confirms which we have executed with CSFB and MS, last year, which I had earlier forwarded to Bob last week.

The contact person at CSFB is James Moran. His email address is james.moran@csfb.com

We still have to hear from CSFB whether they can provide a tax rep on their Cayman Islands entity. As per my understanding, that is the only relevant credit issue for this transaction.

Looking forward to hearing from you on the confirms necessary for the roll-over. Could you give me a call sometime later today, when you have finished going through them.

Thanks & Regards

As indicated in the other email of today, Todd has sent me a separate list which Morgan Stanley sent to Enron. I have gone through the list and this particular deal is indeed there. The confirms for this particular deal were sent by me sometime last week (both the CSFB and the MS confirms). Will call today to discuss further.

The Deal number for the below deal is QH4715.  Can you tell me if it is included in the list Morgan sent back to you?

Raj,
Morgan does not actually sign and return documents per the Master Agreement.  They send a reply type of message which states that they agree to a certain deal number or numbers.  Todd will let us know if this particular deal has been agreed to in this manner.
FYI, today is my last day in this group.  Going forward you can contact Diane Anderson for anything related to Confirmations.

Hi Larry,

You may have received a voicemail regarding the above. I am working with Treasa Kirby here in Global Finance and was wondering whether you have signed copies of the Morgan Stanley confirm for the above $150m oil prepay executed in Dec 2000/Jan 2001. We need to roll-over the oil prepay and need to discuss with the lawyers to understand whether any changes need to be made to the confirms. If you do have signed copies, kindly send both of us a copy of the same asap.

It has come to my attention that questions have been raised in reviewing the
Raptor I Derivative Proposal Sheets regarding the type of information that
should be set forth in the category entitled "ASSET DESCRIPTION".  The Master
Derivatives Agreement ("MDA") requires that the Proposal Sheets describe the
"Assets" with respect to which the derivative transaction is to be executed.
For purposes of the MDA, "Assets" is defined as "assets, including without
limitation common stock, partnership interests, member interests. other
ownership interests, and other financial and physical assets."  Therefore,
the description should include both the nature of the "Asset" (i.e. whether
it is an equity interest, a loan, working interest, etc.) and a little bit
about the company (the entity in which ENA holds the interest or has the loan
or working interest).

Any comments to the Proposal Sheets should be delivered ASAP to the "Enron
person completing this form" (This is the 3rd line under the heading
"GENERAL" on each of the Proposal Sheets) along with a request that a revised
Proposal Sheet be returned to the lawyer providing comments with copies to
both Mary Cook and Lisa Mellencamp.

The pressure to complete these Raptor hedges remains high and therefore your
immediate attention is greatly appreciated.  Many thanks.

Stuart

Please just remind them that this is production - and not a test environment.

Some authorized users are testing certain elements of the data base - but they are responsible for making sure the test data is cleaned up.

PARSING FILE -->> O:\Portland\WestDesk\California Scheduling\ISO Final Schedules\2002020224.txt


Attached is a marked up copy of Jan's memo with comments regarding possible
responses on each point.

In addition, I suggest being prepared to describe some affirmative ideas we
think the Governor should support -- just to see what they say.  Below are a
few suggestions that I am working on for my memo to the Board on 2001
legislation.

Fixed Price Contracts
Require the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to establish
criteria for reviewing and approving or rejecting proposed fixed term, fixed
price contracts within 20 days of their submission by an investor-owned
utility.

Demand-Side Management
Require the CPUC to resolve the interruptible tariff issues in a manner that
will make the program workable from customer and reliability perspectives.
(I am not up to speed on the issues associated with this -- only that the
CPUC has industrial customers up in arms.)

Power Plant Siting
Require the California Energy Commission to consider the positive
environmental impacts of proposed projects when analyzing alternatives to
proposed projects, including the &no project8 alternative.  (This has little
affect but makes a point about the CEC process.)

Simplified Interconnection Rules for Preferred Technologies
Require the CPUC to adopt standard, simplified interconnection options for
distributed generation, renewable, and small cogeneration projects.  (A
perverse version of this was in a Peace bill last year.  As proposed, it
applied only to projects that did not sell onto the grid.  When Enron and
cogenerators made clear that they would cause problems if it wasn't changed,
SCE asked to have the whole section deleted.  It was.)

Community Access
Permit cities and/or other political subdivisions of the state to aggregate
their consumers into electricity buying coops by adopting a local ordinance
that gives customers the opportunity to &opt-out8 of the program.  (TURN has
said it intends to sponsor this next year.)

Have fun in the meeting!  Karen

I did not have the updated model so I could not add assumptions from there, projected revenue growth, financial data, etc.  I need to get Michael or Davis to add.    I realize there is quite a bit of work to be done as far as putting this into a narrative format.  Hopefully this will start the process.  I think Lindy is the best person to help with this while I am out.  Thursday is probably the first day I will feel like looking at this.  I realize the timing is not great for my surgery, however, is there really ever a good time.  I actually planned this over a month ago.

RiskNews Update ) week ending 30/03/2001

News for derivatives and risk management professionals
===================================================================

Dear Subscriber,

Welcome to RiskNews Update!

Top news this week included early findings by credit ratings agency
Standard & Poor,s that internationally active banks may find it is cheaper
to use the standardised risk management approach to capital management
rather than the internal ratings based (IRB) system. Early findings that
IRB, as laid out in the Basel Committee's new capital Accord proposals,
may cost banks more in terms of capital appears contrary to the +spirit,
of the de facto international banking regulator,s proposals. Next week,
RiskNews will print exclusive coverage of the International Swaps and
Derivatives Association,s (Isda,s) response to Basel as part of our
extensive coverage of Isda,s 16th Annual General Meeting in Washington.

With consolidation seeming imminent for the plethora of electronic trading
platform providers, electronic derivatives trading platform Blackbird,s
chief executive Andy Baxter admitted having difficulties encouraging
dealers to move away from phone broking. In a separate development, JP
Morgan Chase selected multi-bank FX trading portal Atriax as its
electronic portal ) a move seen by industry observers as a blow to rival
portal FXall, which was strongly backed by the pre-merger JP Morgan.

Meanwhile, Citigroup,s top FX salesman Martin Dyer pans to take +time-out,
from his post after 20 years, clearing the way for Lars Olesen to be
appointed global FX sales manager of Citibank Foreign Exchange in London.

Rick and Ted,

It looks more like foxes building chicken houses as opposed to foxes guarding
chicken houses.

I shall send a message to Bryan saying that the Research has to look under
the hood and examine the mechanics
of the model in order to sign off on it. A dog and pony show is not
sufficient. In any case, the decision to approve
the model should not be left to Ben and Kirstee.

Please, let me know what your thinking is.

Subject: VaR for EnronCredit.com

Vince/Steve -- we are going to the Board in December to ask for formal
limits.  As you know one of the key limits at the Board level is Value at
Risk. To that end, it is imperative that you are comfortable with our
approach for calculating VaR.  We have implemented a third party risk system
which holds all of our positions and are in the process of putting the debt
positions in.  The system has a VaR engine which is being demo'd by the
vendor today.  Ben and Kirstee are attending the demo and if they find the
technology acceptable, I propose moving forward with implemantion of the
module.  Pls. let me know if this sounds reasonable and how you would
envision implementing.

thanks


Peggy, and all,

I did a first cut on a draft of regulatory/legislative risks associated with
San Diego.  Because of the need for quick turn-around I am circulating the
draft for comment.

If anyone has comments on the draft, please send to my attention asap and I
will compile a final document.  Thanks.

I spoke with LeDain in Calgary.  They had a bid for C$3MM w/out the ABB turbines.  They are not planning to pursue because Lavorato commented that it is better to hold onto the site at that price.  The site is permitted for the ABB's.  I have asked LeDain to send me their original info memo for the sale of the site (w/ turbines); it might be worth trying to market that project again - time has passed, the market there may open soon, Ontario just set a new peak and East prices rallied last week.

Can you confirm that we are still talking to the guys in Canada with regard to selling the ABBs with the Moore site.  I only mention this as the 'hotlist' shows that they are planning to sell the site which I am not sure is feasible without combining the turbines.

Thanks

David;

Here are our initial thoughts regarding the Posting Agreement form.  I should
be in all day today and tomorrow.  Please feel free to call to discuss.

At the closing of the Transaction, the Company and Enron will enter into a
&Posting Agreement8 pursuant to which Enron will agree to post prices for
certain products to the Company,s platform in a manner that permits the
Company,s customers to electronically attempt to transact, through the
Company,s website but on EOL,s database, with respect to Subject Products
(defined below).

The Company will provide, at the Company,s expense and in accordance with
Enron,s specifications and technical requirements t[specifications annex?],
an interface which will be used by Enron to post prices for Subject Products
on the Company,s website.  Enron will provide, at Enron,s expense and in
accordance with Enron,s specifications and technical requirements [annex?],
an interface for the Company,s customers to attempt transactions (as
discussed below) on the EOL database.  The parties will also establish a
credit interface to facilitate Enron,s credit decisions with respect to
attempted transactions.

The Company,s customers will be permitted to attempt to transact against
prices posted by Enron at Enron,s sole discretion.  Accordingly, prices
posted by Enron on the Company,s website shall not be deemed to be offers to
sell or buy, and all attempted transactions must be validated against the EOL
database in accordance with EOL,s customary operating policies and
practices.  The point of contract for all transactions consummated on prices
that are posted by Enron shall be the EOL database, and all of such
transactions will be consummated pursuant to EOL,s General Terms and
Conditions, or the terms of a master agreement between the Company,s customer
and Enron, if any.  [manner in which the Company,s customers will agree to
transact under EOL,s General Terms and Conditions]

[process of and responsibility for &mapping8 the products offered by the
Company and the prices posted by Enron in order to ensure accurate matching
of Subject Products between the Company,s website and EOL,s database]

Enron will not be required to pay to the Company any commission or other
charge with respect to any transaction completed with EOL through the Company,
s Platform.  Commissions charged to those customers completing transactions
with EOL shall not exceed the Company,s standard rates.  Each party shall be
solely responsible for the costs and expenses of operating and maintaining
its respective platform; the Company will be responsible for all
telecommunication costs and expenses from the Company,s website to EOL,s
website.

Prior to Closing, the Company and Enron will agree to specific products with
respect to which Enron will post prices on the Company,s Platform (the
Subject Products8).  Products may be added or deleted by subsequent agreement
of the parties, but Enron shall have no obligation to post prices with
respect to products for which it then does not post prices on EOL, or to
otherwise act in a manner that is inconsistent with or contrary to its
business methods, practices or policies employed on EOL.

[Circumstances under which the Agreement may be terminated by a party, and
consequences of either party,s breach of the Agreement]


Eric,
Please follow up with Joe about how we arrived at the amounts on the

Darron,

For audit purposes, can you give us a brief description of where the value
for annuities in TAGG as V42434.9 and V42434.A.  We'll add some comments to
TAGG to cover ourselves or send out Termination Agreements if necessary.

Thanks,
Joe Hunter


Here is a draft diagram that lays out my proposed Transportation Contract Evaluation Process.  I have tried to show the entire span of transportation and pipeline services contracts and how the decision-making would be completed.  Of course, the interruptible agreements would only be rejected/terminated after it was determined that they were no longer needed for commercial purposes.

Please view this diagram as a supplement to the Administrative Protocols that Mark Ellenberg is finishing up.

What is the next step in getting this issue in front of the committee?

Hi Vince,

I have pulled a list of names together that I would like to send some
samples of our chapters of the book too, in the next couple of days,  in
order to try and get one or two sentence "reviews" for the dust jacket of
the book. I obviously won't say anything about Enron's sponsorship until it
is official sorted out, but is it OK if I indicate that yourself and Grant
are contributing material to the book?

I'm proposing to send 5 or 6 chapters to the following - unless you have
any objections or suggestions?

David Shimko
Ehud Ronn
Helyette Geman
Mark Garman
Dragana Pilipovic
Corwin Joy
Ilia Bouchouev
Alexander Edyleland
Steve Thomas

Hope the writing is going OK, and regards to Grant.

Best regards.

Chris


Lynn, are you going to be able to attend the meeting? I also just received my Blackberry cooool.     JWB

I'm on the conference call now.  John Novak suggested that you, he and
Frederico speak.  It sounds like commercial and credit need to iron this out
together.  John is in his office now and the call usually takes about an
hour.  Sara
