Jon, I'm attaching a memo sent to me by one of my
previous Enron people in China.  Lillian Li no longer
works for Enron and was not available to help us in
Beijing (she got married and will be moving in June).
Anyway, she has this travel agency friend who has
recommended stuff for Shanghai and Beijing.  It's all
spelled out in the attachment.  For 3 days in
Shanghai, for ($285 per person for 3 days and
nights),$90 USD a day per person which includes hotel,
meals, transportation, tickets, etc. sounds
reasonable.  What do you think?  I do like the sight
seeing she recommended.

Then, in Beijing for 7 nights in a good hotel,
sightseeing, transportation, tickets, tour guide, etc.
for ($525 per person for 6 days and nights), $88 per
day per person didn't sound bad either.  Here in
Beijing I like the sightseeing she recommends.  Again,
what do you think?

What she failed to tell me was the cost of the airline
ticket from Shanghai to Qingdao to Beijing.  Could you
check on that for us?

If there is a better way to skin this cat (no pun
intended, just that all these Nancy boys are afraid of
the chinese food and all) please advise.

Congrats,look forward to seeing and hearing from you.....Dan

Sorry for the delay - our general policy is (and the first response to this
type of question should be) that , due to system requirements, it is not
possible to provide for different online contracts for different
counterparties.  Having said that, in the few cases where a counterparty has
raised what we consider to be valid and material concerns, we have agreed to
a side letter agreement with that particular counterparty to vary the terms
of the ETA.  So if the counterparty resist the first response and threatens
to not use the system for legal reasons, you should refer them to the legal
department.  They can contact either Carol St. Clair (x33989) or me (x37459).

Hard Case, Xmas bash at my house this Thursday, starting at 7....


Stinson/Vince,

The Henwood runs for Dabhol are, at least temporarily, over.  However, the
main modeller for Henwood (David Yumigada) works out of their California
office.

It maybe worth our while to have him come and demonstrate the runs, and
explain the modelling algorithm to the larger group.

In aparticular, now that I am going through some of the comments people have
raised on the PSIM model, I think there is value in understanding the way
Henwood deals with Hot and Cold Starts, ramp up costs, and with issues of
cycling plants.

I think understanding these will help in developing the next version of the
PSIM, and will also give the group here ideas to build into existing models.
This is a suggestion, and so please let me know if you see value in this.

Regards,
Sandeep.

Attached is a VERY PRELIMINARY draft of the EPC Term Sheet for review and
comment.  It has a lot of hole's, and needs to be read in that light.  I will
give it more time and attention after input from the project team.

If the Term Sheet is intended to go to third party EPC contractors, I would
strongly suggest that we do no use it.  We would be much better off using the
draft of the Turbo Park EPC Contract as modified for Fountain Valley.

Subject:	PLEASE READ: ECS Power Outage this weekend
Importance:	High

Please be aware that there is a scheduled power outage in ECS this weekend on Saturday, January 19, 2002. The outage is scheduled from 2:00pm - 4:00 pm.

There should be no impact with the exception of a loss of power to the plasma screens.

 In order to protect the plasma screens from becoming damaged during the power shutdown, technical support will need your assistance in turning off all plasmas in your area this Friday at close of business. Desktop Support technicians will assist with turning back on the plasmas on Tuesday morning, January 22, 2002 starting at 6:00 am (as Monday is a holiday).

I am sending this to the admins in ECS. Please forward to anyone I may have missed and please assist us in spreading the word to anyone who may be working on Saturday. Again, the only impact will be the loss of the plasma screens.

Thank you for your assistance in advance! Please call me if you have any questions/concerns

Title: Quarterly Natural Gas Watch: A Shortage of Demand
URL(s):

http://www20.cera.com/eprofile?u=35&m=2789;

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

NO HELP FROM DEMAND: DIFFICULT TIME IN THE NORTH AMERICAN GAS MARKET

Since January, natural gas prices have fluctuated between $2.00 per MMBtu at
the Henry Hub and $10.00, a result of weather, fuel switching, and increasing
supplies. Loss of demand due to economic weakness is exacerbated by the impact
of the tragedy of September 11. Lower prices have already slowed drilling
activity. Although ample storage levels will guard against last year's peaks,
gas prices will likely to continue to oscillate in the near term.

* The US gas supply rebound expected after record drilling rates is now
unlikely. CERA expects only modest production increases for 2001 and a year-
over-year decline for 2002.

* CERA has analyzed two paths for demand recovery depending on the severity and
length of the economic downturn. Generally, the large overbuild of gas-fired
generating plants and the recovery of industrial demand should cause much of
the lost demand to return in 2002.

I need you to run these items by Rick.  I take full responsibility for
approving the hiring of the Hills firm (and I look forward to meeting with
you and Carla as we discussed), but remain hopeful we can use their services
for something other than WTO.  In the wake of Seattle, and as I have come to
understand better what the WTO can and cannot do for us on the energy
services front, I have come to the view that our talent and money would be
better spent on other activities.  My inclination is to do the bare minimum
necessary to keep the machine going.  If we have specifically committed to
certain things, then let's follow through.  If there are things we can avoid,
let's avoid them.  Specifically with respect to Fischer going to Geneva, Why
not have him available by phone at all hours to provide assistance and mage
that known to USG instead of underwriting additional travel.  With respect to
the Hills firm, can we use the retained time to help with the specific
strategies we are now working out for the regions?  These are the kinds of
things we need to consider.

Subject: Enron and the Energy Services Issue Before The WTO

Steve: This is a brief extension of our conversation yesterday afternoon
putting in print some of the upcoming dates and possible committments for
your consideration and decision.

We have no exit strategy at this time and in order to follow your general
instructions to withdraw gradually (I'm not quite certain that is possible at
this stage) you need to know the following.

The April meeting at the WTO in Geneva (Committee on Specific Committments)
spent considerable time discussing how energy services would be considered in
the WTO GATS (General Agreement on Trade and Services) . The USTR raised the
issue, tabled the issue and guided the discussion. We did not send anyone to
that session.

As planned for several months, we issued the Rachel Thompson study which is
completing its basic distribution now. There has already been considerable
interest in the study and I fully expect it to generate discussion in the
days ahead. I have sent you the correspondence from the Japanese Ministry.
Tonight I am hosting a small dinner for the top staff person for the leading
Japanese business organization affiliated with the CSI organization. He
raised the issue of Japan's industry feeling energy services was going too
fast too soon when Ken addressed the WTO Ministerial Forum last December in
Seattle. Now he has told Bob Vastine, president of CSI that he was told later
by his collegues that his statement was a misstatement. We'll hear more
tonight.

Later today, the ESC Executive Committee is meeting with the DOE to discuss
how they can support energy services for the USTR who has lacked technical
advisers since Donna Bobbich and Russ Profozich left DOE earlier this year.
DOE has appointed a group to help USTR and this is an orientation meeting
held at their request.

Next week I have scheduled the first ESC full meeting since January to update
members (now 50 since Schlumberger joined on Friday) on developments which is
essentially a report by USTR Carol Balassa who is the responsible official
handling energy services.

She has given a couple of us a debriefing on what happened at the WTO meeting
and a request to prepare more detailed information for the May 10 meeting in
Geneva where she tells us that energy services will be even more involved in
the discussion. We should have Bob Fisher go to that meeting to be of
assistance. This is a decision point for you.

We have made some other committments which are also decision points although
the Helsinki meeting on June 18th has been agreed upon based on my feelings
that when I discussed it (the SCO/FSN Showcase Europe) in Houston with you
and Rick, you raised no objection which I took as agreeing that it should go
forward.  We have done this meeting annually where I have brought in someone
from Enron companies to brief them and host them for dinner. These are the
commercial people in the US embassies throughout Europe and the former Soviet
Union. They are important points of contact for our commercial people.  This
year they want to have energy services in the WTO and as we would like them
to exist in their territory. A few members of the ESC Executive Committee
will do the former and Peter Styles the later. I have organized the dinner.

Following that meeting is one that EC Trade staffer Uta Klinkers wants the
ESC Executive Committee to put on in Brussels which is a joint meeting she is
organizing with European energy industry representatives. This is a dialogue
on energy services. The EU is an important player in the WTO and Uta, who
recently met with the ESC Executive Committee in Washington is quite
supportive of liberalized energy services. At the EC she reports directly to
Commissioner Pascal Lamy. Rick's memo this week suggested we have Peter
Styles do this briefing. Peter is not an American and is not affiliated with
the ESC. Therefore, unless we participate, Europe's energy industry is not
talking with US industry. If this is what you want, then I should tell Uta
that we are unable to do the meeting.

The last meeting is the presentation by Ken Lay at the OECD Forum 2000 on
June 26 which I engineered with Doug Worth, Secretary General of the BIAC
(Business Industry Affairs Committee) to the OECD. This is a major world
conference and Ken is addressing e-commerce and services. Doug, an American
and former head of the Washington IBM office wants to have Ken meet with OECD
Commissioners in a smaller meeting to discuss trends for the future.  I had
planned to be there with Ken for the day, day and a half he will be in Paris.
I introduced our company to the OECD several years ago and it has become
increasingly involved in issues of interest to us.

Well, these are the near-term items that require your fine hand if we are to
proceed. A dramatic drop off at this time will have its effects and no one is
likely to pick up our leadership. There is growing support for what has been
accomplished and the USG plus others are now hooked on the energy services
agenda. I cannot easily see an exit strategy that can do anything but cause
criticism at this point. This is definately a longer term committment that I
thought we had made when approval was given to hire the Hills firm. However,
if you want to exit, other than pulling back from the Brussels meeting, I
think the other meetings are firm committements at this point.

These are some thoughts for your consideration and decision.

Joe

put in place some masters in the name of ENA for the following parties:

Bear, Stearns Internaitonal Limited
Credit Agricole Indosuez
CSFB International
Lehman Brother Finance S.A.
Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc.

These masters will be used to for equity deals on ENE stock.  The Treasury
group has concluded together with Rex Rogers and V&E, that Enron Corp. is the
appropriate swap counterparty for these masters and NOT ENA.

Who in credit will be available to assist me in this process?  Thanks.  Sara

Subject: Tom McQuade's Deposition

Greg:

Tom McQuade's deposition was an adventure.  I spent all day Monday prepping
him and I could not get him to say a word.  When I asked him about the
issues re Massey, he said he remembers talking to Massey, but he didn't
discuss buying 3/4" coal from Massey; McQuade said that his focus was on
selling the 3/4" synfuel output and that Matt Arnold must have had the
discussions with Massey re buying 3/4" coal.  Massey had an internal memo
saying that McQuade referenced a need for a 3/4" top size because of
Sempra's PLR, but McQuade said steadfastly that he knew nothing about the
PLR, never discussed 3/4" in the context of coal (as opposed to synfuel),
and said that Matt must have had those discussions.  In short, based on the
fact that McQuade wouldn't talk to me, I figured this depo would be a
breeze.

When we got to the depo, however, McQuade became "Chatty Cathy."  He had the
opportunity to take use one word answers, but he routinely felt a need to
expound.  For the most part, it didn't matter, because Jonathan Siegel was
taking the depo and was getting nowhere.  I kept reminding McQuade during
breaks to answer and shut up, and he kept acknowledging that that was what
he would do.  Once we resumed the depo, however, he kept falling back into
his habit of saying too much.  In the afternoon, I cut him off at points:
"You've answered that question.  Now wait for the next one."

More importantly, McQuade's testimony regarding Massey began to sound
evasive to me.  He was looking back and forth at the internal Massey
correspondence as if a light had gone off in his head, but was still saying
that he didn't discuss purchasing coal.  The Massey stuff is not a big issue
in the case, and I started fearing that McQuade's testimony would make it
one -- e.g., they read in the Massey depo, read parts of McQuade and then
say that McQuade lied about it.  McQuade had one other big screw-up: after
testifying all morning that there is no standard distribution within 2x0
coal, McQuade said near the end of the day that he told someone in Enron in
November that 2x0 has 30-35% 2x3/4 coal.

During a break late in the afternoon, I asked McQuade what happened with the
Massey testimony.  He said that, after seeing again the internal Massey memo
(written by a guy McQuade knows and trusts) saying that McQuade referenced a
PLR and a 3/4" top size, he began to believe that he MUST have said that to
the Massey guy.  I asked McQuade what he recalled about it.  He said that he
really didn't recall anything other than that he might have referenced size.
He still didn't think he referenced a PLR.  He then told me that the meeting
referenced in the memo was a dinner meeting, he'd had a few drinks, etc.  I
then asked McQuade about the size distribution testimony.  I suggested to
him that 30-35% might be the an outside limit of 2x3/4 coal in 2x0, and
McQuade agreed.

Based upon the foregoing, I asked McQuade just a handful of questions when
Siegel finished (it was 6:20; we started at 9:30).  I think it is the first
time I ever asked clean-up questions of my own witness, but I didn't want
this testimony to stand as it was, and I was sure that I would not want
McQuade at trial to clean it up then.  The size distribution testimony went
smoothly.  McQuade reiterated his testimony from earlier in the day re the
many factors that affect the size distribution within 2x0 and that, because
of those factors, there can be no standard distribution.  I then asked what
he meant when he gave the 30-35% testimony; he said that that was the upper
limit, and that it was by no means a standard.  Enough said on the issue, I
dropped it.

Re Massey, I directed McQuade's attention to the internal Massey memo and
asked whether it refreshed his recollection about discussing coal size with
Massey.  McQuade said that, because he knows the author of the memo, if the
author says McQuade referenced coal size, McQuade must have done so.
McQuade then said that he still doesn't recall any details whatsoever about
the discussion, having had drinks over dinner, etc.  He also testified that,
notwithstanding the reference to a PLR in the memo, he still didn't think he
referenced a PLR because McQuade doesn't think he even knew about a PLR.
McQuade surmised that the Massey guy might have just been assuming that a
PLR was involved.

Siegel then tried to question McQuade again about the Massey meeting, but he
did nothing but screw up the record.  McQuade, for example, testified for
the first time (Siegel hadn't asked before) that he'd actually had 2
meetings with Massey, the second one being with Matt Arnold and Kevin
McGowan.   While Siegel was questioning, I started packing up my things as a
reminder to Siegel that McQuade had a flight to catch.  Siegel "took the
bait" and, after muddying up the record some more, he decided to terminate
the deposition rather than keep McQuade there to learn about his new
recollection.  Siegel said he had no further questions and McQuade and I
were out of the building in seconds.

Bottom line: McQuade was a below average to bad witness, but he ultimately
didn't damage our record.   Because Mel will likely come back at Matt Arnold
about the Massey meetings in an effort to clean up what Siegel left so
muddy, we should be prepared for that.

Good Afternoon,
Yesterday my inbox, all my personal e-mail folders, and any document
attached to an e-mail were lost.  Nothing happend specifically to cause
this.  We do not know where the data went and have been unable to retrieve
it.  Please, if you know anything about Outlook or data recover, I need your
help.  I rely on e-mail not only for communication but to transfer and
receive very important information - some of which will be lost permanently
unless I am able to restore the files.  I also use my e-mail as a form of
record keeping and information storage, which helps me to do my job.
Please, if you can help or know someone who may, get in touch with me.  My

me very happy!!!

Sally,

As you are probably aware the Continental Power book split project went well
but there were a number of areas which were not completed for one reason or
another but essentially IT did not deliver according to the agreed timetable.
Todd was instrumental in helping me to drive this forward and was responsible
for much of what we achieved.

As you may also be aware we had some personnel issues and there have been
significant changes in the Continental Risk Management team. We have now
recruited a strong manager in Coralie Evans from CSFB and she starts on the
29th of August. We have also added Michelle Waldhauser from the Houston Gas
Risk Management team who arrived on the 7th of August.

There are a number of issues and developments which would greatly benefit
from having Todd here in London for around a month (I say around a month as I
am guessing within this period he would want to spend some time in Oslo
pushing the weather Risk Management area forward). Attached is a page I put
together that cover our immediate needs and why Todd is ideally placed to
potentially add an enormous amount of value to the Continental Power business.

Could we please get together with Brent Price and Mike Jordan and discuss
whether Todd would be available come over.

Thanks and regards James


Colleen, thanks for the update - as another part of the nat gas value chain,
traded transportation, with and without EOL should be a priority.  However, I
think we have to ensure that we have rules and procedures accepted by the
FERC that will allow the market to work.

Jim, can you ensure that Colleen and Julie have the regulatory support needed
to ensure that the market gets set up appropriately.

Thanks.

Subject: Transportation Status

Scott Neal told me that you asked recently where we stood on development of a
transportation market in light of 637.  I would be happy to meet with you and
let you know in more detail what I have been working on, but here is a quick
synopsis.

We are putting new transportation products out on EOL--this should be ready
for December business (assuming Lavo has no objections--I just sent him the
information on the product).  They are simple products with no computerized
interaction between EOL and Sitara or EOL and the pipeline bulletin boards
(which we are still required to post through per the pipeline tariffs).
Quite honestly, I have no idea how much activity these will generate since
each product still has the potential for being "biddable" on the pipeline
EBBs and there is not an easy solution around that.  Also, all completed
transactions still must be posted on the EBBs and confirmed by the pipelines
before the deal is actually completed.  This product does not make the
release process any simpler; however, it does make it more visible by having
bids and offers out on EOL, where people are more likely to be looking than
the pipeline EBB.

The vision is to have the entire bidding and confirmation process through the
EBBs automated, which would encourage a significant increase in trading
activity for transportation, but there are several important infrastructure
steps we must take first--you know, minor things like creating a
transportation position screen in Sitara and getting the pipelines' EDI
(Electronic Data Interchange) mechanisms in working form.  We are in testing
with 9 pipelines as of today.

Also, as I'm sure you are aware, Julie Gomez is working with several
pipelines to put their available IT (interruptible) space out on EOL (the
last I heard this should happen for January business), and then I understand
that she plans to work with EOL to allow third parties to put transportation
bids and/or offers out on EOL in an "Altra-like" system--meaning ENA will not
always be a party to those transactions.

There are many changes occurring because of Order 637, but the pipelines are
still going through their compliance filings and there are alot of complaints
about those filings--which just means more time for implementation.

If you have any questions, please call me at x35514.

House Panel Rejects Pwr Price Caps For Calif, West
Updated: Thursday, May 10, 2001 01:04 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--The U.S. House, Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee
Thursday rejected an effort to amend an electricity relief bill for
California and Western states to require cost-based price caps.

The subcommittee voted 20-12 to reject an amendment offered by Rep Henry
Waxman, D-Calif, which borrowed price-cap language from a Senate bill
sponsored by Senators Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif, and Gordon Smith, D-Ore..

All Republican members voted against the measure, and were joined by two
Democrats, Ralph Hall of Texas, and Christopher John of Louisiana.

Three California Republicans joined their colleagues in voting against the
amendment; Mary Bono, George Radanovich and Christopher Cox.

The subcommittee continues to debate the overall measure and is expected to
vote for final passage later in the day.
