The East desk's No. 1 priority for RTOs is The Real Time Energy Market (no
day ahead balanced schedule requirement).  This means that the RTO should
post the supply and demand curve with real time prices (the best example at
this time is PJM's real time market).  A real time energy market is
fundamental for customers to get proper real time price signals upon which to
base their decisions to hedge or not on a forward basis.  It also provides
the proper price signals to the market on where generation and transmission
is needed.  Getting a real time energy market would advance Enron's ability
to provide more financial tools to customers.  This market can be nodal (or
zonal) in order to send location based price signals (for example, to NY
City), with the ability to aggregate from nodal to zone determined "proxy
buses."

While Kevin prefers the physical flowgate model with an option to collect
congestion revenues (rather than an obligation, similar to the PJM FTRs now),
the method of determining the congestion management is secondary to the
establishment of the real time energy market.  Regulatory people should use
their judgment (and talk with the desk) when determining how far to push
option-type flowgates, rather than obligation-type FTRs.  Such a physical
market transmission/congestion market can support a financial trading overlay.

If you do have an FTR type system, there should be an upfront allocation to
load.  Ideally, the load should have an "network" right from the generator to
their load (or from load to the "hubs") in order to have the ability to
manage the congestion risk in the forward market when serving end use
customers (EES) or for the ENA full requirements deals.  The nodes should be
grouped into logical "zones" and congestion within a zone should be uplifted.
This allocation to customers (or full blown auction of all rights) becomes
critical in Enron's ability to serve load and all requirements customers.
Without the proper allocation (not to incumbent utilties), the risk premium
to serve these customers becomes too high and can't be priced.

Finally, the market should have no price caps and preferably no icap market
like NEPOOL (prefer PJM's system where the load has to show the RTO that it
has contracted for enough reserves.)  We have urged the FERC in Florida to
adopt a reserve monitoring system, whereby customers are not penalized for
lack of icap unless they actually go under the reserve requirement, then they
are required to purchase icap for a certain amount of time until they
demonstrate continued compliance.

Bottom line -- "Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good."  Congestion
does not need to be perfectly allocated to each load if that mechanism is
done in a manner that precludes Enron and others from developing efficient
real time energy markets that send a locational hourly price signal to the
generation (supply) and the load (demand).  This type of market will provide
greater services to customers and allow Enron to grow its business.

Finally, as we work toward this goal, remember that in the absence of a
real-time energy market, we need to continue to focus our efforts on
non-discriminatory treatment with respect to transmission (no native load
exception) and parking and lending, scheduling flexibility, etc.

Also, sorry to rush you but we really need something by Friday Tokyo time so

		 Subject: Azurix, Grand Rapids contract

John Stokes. Laird Smith and I spoke with Eric Schneidewind this afternoon.
Varnum is currently representing the city on isolated matters.  Varnum is
approaching the city attorney to obtain a waiver of any conflict of interest
so that they may engage in lobbying activities on Azurix's behalf.  Eric is
very confident that the city attorney will issue with waiver.  Varnum made it
clear that should Azurix lose the contract and wish to engage in any legal
action against the city, then Azurix would not be able to use Varnum b/c of
their existing relationship with the city.  John assured Eric that it is
extremely unlikely that Azuriz would ever pursue legal action against the
city.

John Stokes has asked that Varnum deal directly with Tom Maxwell in the
Edmonton office once the waiver is obtained.

They will keep us posted on progress.

I have spoken with Eric Schneidewind our attorney at Varnum, Riddering,

to follow up on this immediately.  Varnum is one of the two major west
Michigan law firms and is based in Grand Rapids.

John Stokes and I have spoken.  As soon as I learn anything from our
attorneys, I will be in contact with him.

I also have a call into our lobbying firm, Karoub Associates.  I doubt that
they could be more effective than Varnum on this one, but I want them in the
loop b/c they might have some pull with key officials in Grand Rapids.

I will keep you posted.

		 Subject: Help in Michigan

Once again, I come to you for help.  We were awarded a biosolids dewatering
contract in Grand Rapids, Michigan about a month ago.  We had bid against the
incumbent, a company called Synagro.  You may recall that Azurix is in
litigation with Syangro over a busted acquisition, but the two events are not
related.  In any case, we were low bidder, and the recommendation was made to
award the contract to us.  Synagro has been working to get the award
overturned, and appears to have been successful.  It is not yet clear whether
they are going to award the deal to Synagro, or re-bid.  It is not even clear
what the grounds are for overturning the award, which indicates that it may
be pure politics.

Do we have any good political consultants that could help us in Grand
Rapids?  We do not have much of a presence in that area, and were responding
to a publicly advertised bid.  Price and technical qualifications were the
only issues.  Politics did not enter into it until now, so we were caught a
little flat-footed.

Any suggestions?


Not a problem.  Thanks for the info.  I've got a couple more questions.  I'll call you in a bit.  Thanks again.

Dear Mr. Vincent Kaminski,

I am a first year student at the Jones Graduate School of Management, Rice
University. Mr. Peter Veruki, director of CPC in Jones School, recommends me
to contact with you about the possibility to work as a MBA intern in your
division this summer.  With keen interest, I would like to have my
internship in Enron to conduct analytical market research or other related
jobs.

I worked for nine years in the business service industry in China, boasting
with diversified experience in market research, strategic planning, and
business development. Years of practice endow me not only the first hand
experience of quantitative analyses and marketing research, but also the
ability to solve problems under the intense competition and challenge.
Furthermore, I learned how to deal with clients from different cultures and
circles. In the past several years, the clients I served include Adobe
software, Dell notebook, HP computers, Disney entertainment, Shell Oil,
Northwest Airline, NOKIA cell phone, Sun servers, and many other global
companies. I had some knowledge about energy industry by participating in
the marketing projects for Shell Gas station and China Petroleum Import and
Export Corporation.

As you will learn from the attached resume, my business experience
concentrates on market research, implementation of marketing strategies, and
business planning. Three years ago, I started APT Netcom with two partners.
I was in charge of both business strategic development and media sales. At
my initiation and leadership, we set up a new Internet-based media sales
platform for advertisers and agencies. In 1999 the newborn company achieved
revenue of $9 million.

Enclosed is my resume with details of my work experience and professional
skills. I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss with you my credentials
in details. I will be available for an interview at your earliest
convenience. Thanks for you attention.

This will help us to gain experience with the market vs the

I agree completely, have talked to the Mayors Office - Citizens' Assistance
Office, the Traffic & Transportation Dept. (who gave me Ms. Dorsey's name)
and have written to Ms. Dorsey.  I suggest you also complain to our City
Council member and the other at-large members.  Since Dorsey is the Bikeway
Coordinator, she won't have much incentive to do away with a designated
bikeway but Council members want our votes:

GABRIEL VASQUEZ gvasquez@cnl.ci.houston.tx.us - I think he represents the
Heights
ANNISE D. PARKER aparker@cnl.ci.houston.tx.us - I think Gordon has already
written to her
GORDON QUAN gquan@cnl.ci.houston.tx.us
ORLANDO SANCHEZ osanchez@cnl.ci.houston.tx.us
CHRIS BELL cbell@cnl.ci.houston.tx.us
CARROLL G. ROBINSON crobinso@cnl.ci.houston.tx.us

The last 5 are "at-large" members of the council.  I got all of these from
the City web site so I can't be sure it's a current list.

Another argument for two lanes on Heights is that with only one lane, some
percentage of traffic will divert itself to side streets making them less
safe for residents there.

And p.s. the argument that this lane is designed for use by bicycle commuters
is particularly empty since the lane doesn't go anywhere - there's no
connecting route at either end that I am aware of - do they expect all these
hypothetical bicycle commuters to get on I 10?

Fortunately, some of us don't need 50 years to figure most of these things
out!

                THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME FIFTY YEARS TO LEARN
                                                            (by DAVE BARRY)

1. Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the
same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not
achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be
"meetings."

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want
you to share yours with them.

5. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories,
decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His
messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.

6. You should not confuse your career with your life.

7. No matter what happens ... somebody will find a way to take it too
seriously.

8. When trouble arises & things look bad, there is always one individual who
perceives a solution & is willing to take command. Very often, that person is
crazy.

9. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

10. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.

11. Never lick a steak knife.

12. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.

13. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender,
religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we
ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that
you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her
at that moment.

Subject: Convertibility/Insurance trade

This is what has been discussed so far.  We looked at this once last year,
but decided that we were not getting quotes that justified the transaction.
This time it looks like we would "sort of" cover our exposure by both selling
and buying and hopefully making money off of the difference.

Subject: Convertibility/Insurance trade

The trade is the following.   Enron would buy Lender's insurance from the
insurance market on "to be named later" intercompany loans.  Enron would pay
a fee each year for this protection.  At the same time, Enron would sell
convertibility protection via the capital markets' so-called "credit
derivative" products.  Enron would earn income from selling this protection.
If there was a convertibility event, the bank would deliver to us Reais and a
crossborder intercompany loan in Brazil.  Offshore, we would buy the
crossborder loan and pay the bank in USD.  Enron now has an intercompany loan
and associated R$ which it can't convert into USD.  So we would give the loan
and R$ to the insurance company and 180 days later we would get paid in USD
(no deval. risk).

The arbitrage is basically that the insurance market charges less for
protection than the capital markets.  No cash is required (but we probably
need Corp. to stand behind it all).  Martin has priced out Lender's insurance
at around 2% per annum for 5 years.   Convertibility protection in the credit
derivative market might earn as much as between 3- 4% per annum (we need to
negotiate with some of the US inv. banks).  They are essentially the same
type of protection, so I am not sure why the differential is so large other
than the waiting period and/or the markets sell to different customer sets.

Martin has requested docs. from AIG and I have requested docs. from CSFB.
Assuming that legal/tax does not see any major issue (there is always some
residual risk), we may need to move on this fast as apparently AIG has about
$150M available right now.  So this is an FYI email that once Martin and I
have completed an initial review, if all looks good we will want to move fast
through due diligence/approval process.

Regards,  Bruce

Scott and I will add this to the matrix we are completing.

This is so funny.

I agree.


Thanks, EC!  FYI - The last four items, starting with the Bristol, the two
transmitters and the sensors should be taken off this list to EOG since
these went to WT-1.  This will reduce the cost by $7698.

Investment ideas
-----------------------------------------

1. INVESTING STRATEGIES
Institutional ownership
This screen always seemed good in principle, and it's looking good
in fact

By Marc Gerstein, director of investment research

The real mystery here is why the screen struggled in the past. Its
parameters seem logical enough. The primary theme is that the stock
be under-owned by institutions (a percentage ownership that is lower
than the industry average percent), yet not hopelessly obscure
(coverage by at least two analysts is required as is a minimal
institutional ownership threshold of 10 percent) and a trend toward
improving ownership by the big guys. These primary trends are supported
by tests requiring a decline in short interest, insider buying, and
strong recent relative share price performance.

2. INVESTMENT IDEAS
The new digital divide
Most Americans are now online, but they are still
divided by speed

By Ben Macklin, senior analyst, eMarketer

The famed FBI criminal profiling unit would have its work cut out if was
on the lookout for a criminal today whose only known characteristic was
that he is a regular US Internet user. With the widespread adoption of the
Internet in the US, the demographic characteristics of the average US
Internet user today so closely match those of the wider population that
there are very few distinguishing features between the two.
