Craig, - In addition, it is our understanding that the ISO has not cut
transmission capacity to Southern California, although that action would have
the same effect as cutting transmission to the north.

Jim - I have forwarded this information to Paul & Alan so they can pursue
this issue with the Governors.  Could we also give this information to
Clearing Up, if they promised not to quote us?  Do you think that would be
helpful?

Subject: COB Exports denied

From an operational perspective, during a Stage 3 Emergencies, the ISO has
three options available to keep the lights on.   It can (1) buy more power
(under its DOE granted Section 202(c) authority), (2) cut scheduled power
transactions, or (3) derate transmission capacity used to export power from
its system.  The Cal ISO has recently been derating to zero transmission
capacity to the Northwest (option 3).  Because transmission users can't get
capacity to sell their power outside California, the effect is that the ISO
gets cheaper power over customers in the NW.

I was thinking of a political approach to solving this problem.  I was
wondering if you could work with your contacts to mobilize NW Senators (?) to
write a letter to the California ISO and the Governor; you might even get
Steve Wright to sign on given that this  situation must make it more
difficult for him to balance his budget.

The central theme of the letter would point out what a hue and cry there
would be if BPA engaged in such actions and that California is simply  trying
to get cheaper power than the rest of the region.  It could also point out
that the Cal ISO already has the mechanism of the Secretary of Energy's
Section 202(c) orders to get the power it needs for an emergency and that
this order is fairer because it allows market participants to have a just and
reasonable rate determined (albeit after the fact) for the power.  I wouldn't
bring up the ISO's authority to cut scheduled power transactions.  I don't
think we want to encourage that.

What do you think?  Call me.


Thanks Kristin!

I'm done!

I have tied out positions as of June 6 trading. I have to set up the
economics page but that shouldn't take long.

What about reversals from our currency book? Which way do the reversals from
the other books go?

The cash deals aren't all in the model (June 1 - June 6) because the physical
position doesn't balance but I will talk to Mike about that.

I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully this makes things
easier on you.

Thanx for all your hard work!

Edmund/Justin, I would appreciate your advice on a few points.

 I am correct in understanding there can be different versions of the
Password Agreement and Electronic Trading Agreement?  I have seen Password
Agreement NA Version 1and an Electronic Trading Agreement Version 1 that both
have Enron North America Corp and/or its affiliates as the Enron contracting
party.  In Australia we will have to enter into  electricity derivatives
through the Enron Australia Finance Pty. Ltd.(EAF)  which is the only Enron
entity authorised trade in these products. Would EAF also be a party to a
Password Agreement and ETA with its potential counterparties?
If  I  was starting with a clean sheet in drafting GTCs for Australian
financial power trades I would incorporate into it the  1992 ISDA Master
Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border)and as well as the 1993 Commodity
Definitions. This is what Australian counterparties would expect to see.
However, I notice this approach has not been followed with any of the GTCs I
have seen. The closest is the incorporation  EFA terms  for the UK power
contracts. I suppose this raises a general question are there any established
protocols for drafting GTCs?
Small point - I notice the limitation of liability clauses in all the
documentation follows the US form.  I notice even for contracts interpreted
under English law there is an exclusion of "special damages".  In Australia
and I thought England special damages were defined money damages that must be
specially damages as opposed to general damages such as pain and suffering
that cannot be quantified and are assessed by the court. This is completely
different  to the meaning of this term in US. Has this issue been considered
and for whatever reason a decision has been made to go with the US wording?
How much work have we done on issues such as those relating to formation of
contracts? I note it was excluded from the scope of your surveys of the
various European jurisdictions. I am taking my brief to include those issues
relevant which are material to ensure that Enron is complying with the law
and will also have enforceable agreement. This may go wider than just
regulatory compliance issues.

If you prefer give me a call to discuss 612 9229 2310.

Chip,

As we figured out a couple of weeks ago, most of our ADS cards have expired.  We were then using Brett Hunsucker's card.  If you remember, we were waiting on the CAISO to send us new cards and new passwords about two weeks ago.  Unfortunately Brett's card appears to have expired this morning as we can no longer log in.  We are consequently unable to communicate with the CAISO over the ADS.  We may now be in violation of our participating generator agreement with the CAISO.  Is there something that I can do to speed this process, perhaps lodge a complaint with the CAISO or our client rep?  Do you have any ETA from the CAISO on our cards and passwords?  All your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill

Subject: CPUC Workshop on 4/17
Mr. Meyers,
I certainly understand and, unfortunately, I suspected as much.  I'm
sure there are quite a few parties with keen interest in this
investigation.  Because of flight schedules, the Transwestern contingent
may not be able to stay until 4:30 p.m., so I'm not sure I could even
commit to a presentation at the end of the day.  We'd certainly be happy
to be squeezed in during the day if another party's presentation was
shorter than expected.
In any event, I was wondering if I might leave behind a copy of TW's
presentation for others to take home?  Like I said, its chief purpose is
to introduce (or for most folks, reacquaint) Transwestern to the
stakeholders in this investigation, and to provide specific information
regarding it's capability to deliver gas to California.  Would it be
possible to at least acknowledge during the day that our handouts are
available to the attendees?  We could either pass them out or have them
on a table at the back.  I'll wait to hear your guidance on the best way
to do this.
As I said before, Transwestern is committed to working with the CPUC to
fully develop the record and to cooperatively address any and all issues
identified in this investigation.  If I can be of any further
assistance, please let me know.
Thank you.

Subject: Re: you are a dork

Ed,

Sorry, but I must concur with Mr.Claffey.

I do believe the question posed asked to list specific outfield postions (ie: Leftfield, Centefield and Rightfield) which your suprisingly quick response failed to address.  Most of the great ballplayers played certain "outfield" positions based on their fielding abilities or lack thereof to play the other outfield positions.

I'll let you slide (barely) on your broad references to "outfield" on Roger Maris and Dale Murphy and Barry Bonds, however,

No true baseball expert would ever be so casual as to list Mickey Mantle's position as simply "Outfield"

I believe you owe baseball fans, especially the Yankee snobs (I was always a Mets fan) an apology for so boldly disrespecting the position of Centerfield.

Rob

As a result in administrative mistakes by the Secretary of Energy in the
drafting of the new Argentina power resolutions we will be delayed in
initiating Argentina physical power products. We tried to resolve these
errors immediately but with out success. I believe a clean resolution will
take another month to achieve.

Recognizing the urgency of getting power products up and running I am
requesting we immediately advance with the establishment of an offshore
financial product via Enron North America. This is the quickest way to get
flexible power products online. To achieve this end we need to immediately
address the contract format of a financial agreement we are capable of
contracting under in Argentina today. I request the legal and commercial
teams address this issue and develop a solution as soon as possible.

We will then roll out the product we have already designed to meet the needs
of the current market. We will need to coordinate with Enron North America
and facilitate as much as possible to avoid conflicting with their objectives.

Please initiate the process of getting Argentina power online as soon as
possible.

Applewhite Has Knee Sprain, Won't Play at Kansas & He's Iffy for Aggies

Coach Mack Brown said Monday the MRI on QB Major Applewhite's knee showed a
strained PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) in his right knee that will
sideline him for the Kansas game and possibly for the Texas A&M game, too.
"It's a sprained ligament," Brown said. "It won't require surgery, but he
is
out for this week and he's questionable for A&M."
Brown said he is slightly optimistic because "I've had five kinee
operations
and I never was moving around  as good as Major was Saturday night after
the
game."
But he said sophomore Chris Simms is the starting QB and will be backed up
by
Beau Trahan, with WR Courtnee Garcia, a former high school QB, also getting
some snaps at QB just in case any additional injuries occur at the
position.
Brown said he has no plans to play freshman Chance Mock, who is
redshirting,
because he said Mock runs the opposing teams' offenses for the scout team
against the Longhorn defense and hasn't worked with the first or second
team
offenses all year.
"We think he is going to be a very good player, but we still plan to
redshirt
him this year," Brown said.
I talked to a couple of friends who are outstanding knee surgeons and both
said Applewhite will have a hard time returning in time for the A&M game.
They said he would have a very difficult time backing up with a sprained
PCL.
Brown said it will be important for the offense to be two-dimensional
against
Kansas  so all the pressure for moving the offense does not fall on Simms.
Freshman DT Stevie Lee (broken bone in foot) won't be able to play Saturday
at Kansas, Brown said, adding that it looks like Lee, who was injured in
the
third game, will not be able to play again this year and will be eligible
for
a medical redshirt that will give him four more years of eligibility. If a
player is injured prior to the fourth game, he is eligible for a medical
redshirt if he is unable to return later in the season.
Brown said backup CB Ervis Hill has a separated shoulder and is out for the
rest of the season. He also said backup WR Artie Ellis is still having
problems with a sore shin and won't play Saturday.
Redshirt freshman DT Ryan Haywood underwent shoulder surgery last week and
Brown said the doctors said it went well.
* * * *
The Longhorns are starting true freshmen at their three primary recever
positions, and Brown said all three of them are playing well. WRs Roy
Williams and B. J. Johnson have been starting for several weeks and they
already rank first (Williams) and second (Johnson) on the list of Longhorn
freshmen receivers in yardage for a season. TE Brock Edwards moved up when
Mike Jones hurt his knee, and Brown said Edwards, who got his second start
Saturday at Texas Tech, "played really, really well. His blocking is much
better and he made two outstanding catches." Williams has 544 yards in
receptions this season and Johnson has 496. The previous freshman high was
set by Lovell Pinkney, who had 458 receiving yards as a freshman in 1992.
* * * *
Brown said the Longhorns have been playing much better during their
four-game
winning streak, and he cited three primary reasons. "The Oklahoma game got
our attention, we simplified our offense and Major got well," he said. He
said Applewhite had started looking like his old self in recent weeks.
"Seven
months out of a knee operation is not a long time," he said, citing the
time
between the surgery on Applewhite's left knee and the start of two-a-days.
* * * *
RECRUITING NOTES: Super DT Tommie Harris of Killeen Ellison plans to come
to
the A&M game the day after Thanksgiving. . . I'm not sure how soon it will
happen, but I will be very surprised if super LB Derrick Johnson of Waco or
super safety Dewayne Brandon of Temple wind up anywhere else but in Austin.

NOKIA TO THE RESCUE
The leading mobile phone maker reports estimate-beating earnings
and an optimistic outlook for sales of its mobile handsets.

By Chris Rugaber

Finnish mobile handset manufacturer and Rule Maker Nokia (NYSE:
NOK) reported third-quarter earnings this morning, coming in
significantly higher than analysts' expectations. The company
also issued positive forecasts for next quarter and for mobile
phone sales in 2001. Nokia was scheduled to report earnings next
week, but apparently decided to do so earlier in response to the
recent volatility in technology and telecom shares.
http://www.fool.com/m.asp?i=161169

Sales rose 50% over last year's third quarter to 7.57 billion
euros ($6.38 billion), while net income jumped 40% to 892
million euros ($752.22 million), or 0.19 per share. Pretax
profit increased 43% to 1.34 billion euros ($1.13 billion),
ahead of analysts' forecasts of 1.06 billion.

Nokia's shares had declined about 40% since the company's July
warning that third-quarter profit would be lower than the second
quarter's, due to product delays. Today's report, and the
company's optimistic outlook, reversed that trend, with shares
up 18% in European trading.

Mobile phone sales, which account for almost three-quarters of
the company's revenues, increased 59%, while operating profits
for the division were up 42% to 1.07 billion euros ($900
million). Operating margin decreased to 19.6%, from 21.9%,
though the company remains far ahead of No. 2 mobile phone maker
Motorola (NYSE: MOT), which recently posted a 6% operating
margin for its cell phone division.

Nokia introduced seven new handset models in the third quarter,
and the company believes it increased its handset market share,
which stood at 27.5% at the end of the second quarter. Motorola
controlled 15.6% and Ericsson (Nasdaq: ERICY), which reports
earnings tomorrow, held 10.3%.

While other mobile phone companies, such as Motorola and
Matsushita, have reduced their projections for industrywide
handset sales, Nokia maintained a positive outlook. "Our view of
the market development fundamentals remains unchanged, with more
than 400 million mobile phones estimated to be sold in 2000,"
said CEO Jorma Olilla in a prepared statement. "For 2001 we
expect the mobile phone market to be in the region of 550
million units." Olilla also stated that as a result of these
figures, the company expects there will be 1 billion mobile
phone users by 2002.

Sales in the company's wireless infrastructure unit were also
strong, with revenues up 34% to 1.92 billion euros and operating
margins improving to 18.1% from 17.3%. Overall, the company
expects "record-breaking" earnings per share (EPS) for the
fourth quarter, and 25-35% sales growth in 2001.

NEWS TO GO

Network switch-maker Extreme Networks (Nasdaq: EXTR) announced
first-quarter fiscal 2001 earnings last night, clocking in with
net income (excluding amortization costs) of $9 million, or
$0.08 per share, ahead of analysts' estimates of $0.06 share,
and double the year-ago figure of $4 million, or $0.04 per
share. Sales were up 29% sequentially to $119.3 million, 153%
higher than last year's third-quarter revenue of $47.2 million.
Shares of the company fell initially in after-hours trading, but
rebounded after the company increased its earnings forecasts for
fiscal 2001 and 2002.

Communications chip designer Broadcom (Nasdaq: BRCM) joined the
earnings parade after yesterday's market close. Sales for the
company's third quarter more than doubled, to $319.6 million,
while earnings (excluding acquisition and other costs) jumped to
$78.7 million, or $0.30 per share, from last year's $28.7
million, or $0.12 per share. Consensus analysts' estimates were
for the company to earn $0.24 per share. Broadcom designs chips
for cable modems, digital set-top boxes, and other high-speed
networking equipment.

Wireless communications software company Phone.com (Nasdaq:
PHCM) also reported earnings last night, and the developer of
the Wireless Application Protocol, or WAP, increased revenues
62% sequentially, to $46.5 million. The company's net loss,
excluding amortization and other costs, was $10.4 million, or
$0.13 per diluted share, ahead of consensus estimates for a
$0.20 per share loss. Phone.com's new partner, Software.com
(Nasdaq: SWCM), with which it expects to merge next month, also
announced earnings. Sales reached $37.6 million, a 27%
sequential increase, and earnings before acquisition and other
costs were $7.4 million, or $0.13 per share, ahead of estimates
of $0.03 per share.

And now for some non-earnings news: According to a Bloomberg
report, telecom carrier WorldCom (Nasdaq: WCOM) is planning to
create a tracking stock for its consumer long-distance business.
The company indicated during its July earnings conference call
that it was considering several options for its slow-growing
voice operation, including a tracking stock. While WorldCom did
not comment on yesterday's report, final word may come when the
company releases earnings on October 26. Like other
long-distance carriers, WorldCom is seeking to highlight the
healthy growth of its data and Internet services by separating
out the stagnant consumer long-distance unit, which grew
revenues by only 1% last quarter.

As most of you know, in a last ditch attempt, we are trying to develop a
complete "solution" to the California problems that can be presented in the
Sec of Treasury discussions.  It would be very helpful if people would
comment or provide analysis on the likelihood of the following settlement
points:

1. Long-Term Contracting
key need of CA is NEW POWER PLANTS - KEY MESSAGE - AND IT'S IN CALIFORNIA'S
AUTHORITY TO DELIVER
Live Auction conducted by DEALBENCH
auction should be focused on "build" economics
parties bid ($/Mwh) for the right to deliver 500+ MW (the right size needs to
be determined) into Cal ISO control area for 5 years and the winning bidder
obtains a pre-approved generation site in California (with all permits,
siting obligations, and interconnection - BIG ISSUE) to build starting within
2 months
focusing on just delivered energy without generation site is difficult to
price (market too illiquid)
keep the number of auctions to a minimum (probably 6 - 10) for each utility
Counterparty is State of California (some agency)
maybe structure the bids to be 50-50 baseload vs. peaking

2. Utility Retail Ratemaking
per RELIANT ENERGY model, need $85/Mwh on average to work within retail
framework (how much would rate increase does this create?)
goal must be to have EBITDA positive utilities, although long-term utilities
should be EBITDA = $0 for generation sales
keep the current PX structure?
Utilities may have to "eat" some of the current undercollection

3. Interim Credit Support
pro rata credit from all creditors (including banks and energy suppliers)
60 day forbearance (to allow the auction to occur)

4. Liability
PG&E, SDG&E, and SCE agree not to sue any suppliers
State of California considers "taking" all civil cases and not pursuing
State of California agrees not to pursue any criminal cases

5. Other Actions
FERC agrees to immediate price cap lifting
FERC and California agree to complete non-stakeholder board for ISO
CPUC immediately finds that the result of the auction is "reasonable"

The key point is to (1) stop the current bleeding by getting long-term deals
in place soon and (2) manage the rate shock.  We will be working three things
(1) structure of the long-term auction, (2) rate model showing how high
prices of long-term auction power can be, and (3) financial results for
utilities under this outcome.

What else needs to be included in a settlement?

I am writing to second all the requests you've probably hearing for money
contributions for Turkey's recovery efforts.  Turkey has a population of
some 65 million, up from only some 14 million at its birth in 1923.  The per
capita income is just over $3,000 a year, close to Mexico's.  The areas hit
so hard by the recent earthquake have experienced growth rates in the last
few decades that probably have few precedents in human history.  Istanbul,
for example, has grown from some 1 to 1.5 million people 30 years ago to
what some estimate to be a population of between 12 to 15 million today!
Most of these folks are from or are descendants of poor families who moved
from the countryside to the industrial cities looking for a better life.
The demand they created for housing, obviously, contributed to some of the
corner cutting that has exacerbated so badly the recent disaster.

I am sure you have access to trustworthy organizations through which to
distribute your contributions, but in case you don't why not try the
American Red Cross,  P.O. Box 37243, Washington DC 20013; 1 (800) helpnow;
www.redcross.org.

Thanks,

Mark-O
