high-speed Internet equipment whose shares have risen
tenfold since IPO.
--David Peterschmidt of Inktomi, the network-caching

Just got off the phone with the Federacao Unica dos Petroleiros....here's their take on what is going to happen going foreword

First of all..the news was wrong again...there is another meeting today and talks / negotiations are currently under way to alleviate the strike.

They asked for a 30% increase in wages and more disclosure on safety, but Petrobras replied that they would only raise the wage by 6%....according to the union, the inflation rate was 8.30% over the last year and they are outraged by the counter-offer of only 6%....I asked what Petrobras could do to make the workers return...she said that they only needed to offer about  a 10-12% increase.  She said that after the counter offer came back the union would disseminate the information to the workers who would then vote on whether they should return to work.

As far as refinery operations she claims that there has been little change in operations and that the last shift of workers that went in on Tuesday have been taken captive / hostage and that they have been forced to keep output flowing.  She believed that the output would fall off because the workers lacked "conviction" and wanted to leave...she thought they may break something in the refinery or revolt in order to gain freedom.  The FUP is seeking legal action against Petrobras to get the workers out, but she said that she didn't really think they could get them out...so it doesn't look like the workers will leave anytime soon and the only way the refineries are going to ramp down is if the workers sabotage the system.

When I asked her if she thought the strike would continue she said that she thought that Petrobras would make a counteroffer today and that if it was greater than 10% the workers would likely agree to work.  She said that there was much anger among the workers and that another bad counter offer would be "very destructive"

My general impression was that the strike will go on only if Petrobras doesn't play nicely.  One interesting discrepancy was that oil production, according to the union, was down 80% as opposed to the earlier 60%, but we have no way of substantiating that due to the fact it's Petrobras word against their word.


Here it is.  Are we sure of the legal entity names?  If so, lets get the SA
office to sign indicating their agreement with the proposed Letter Agreement
and fax the signiture page back to me at 713-646-8416.  I have included the
coordinates on Exhibit 'A' and the map that Glen electronically provided to
me.

A Measurement  Framework for Bank Liquidity Risk
September 15,  2000
Raymond Cote
Vice President, FinRad Inc.

Raymond  Cote is Vice President, Financial Engineering at FinRad Inc., a
Montreal-based  consulting firm offering financial management solutions that
combine advisory  and systems development services to &corporations and
financial  institutions.

Abstract:

Liquidity risk, as opposed to credit and  market risks, has received little
attention in professional or academic  journals. We argue that analyzing bank
liquidity risk can be viewed as a  variation of credit risk analysis. After
introducing some concepts and  definitions, the presentation defines a
framework allowing to measure a bank's  structural liquidity risk. It then
shows that combining the framework with  modern credit risk measurement tools
leads to a liquidity risk VAR measure.  The presentation then offers
concluding comments on the integration of the  liquidity risk measurement
framework within enterprise-wide risk  management.

I just wanted to thank all the girls and the parents for the autographed t-shirt and the restaurant gift certificate.  I really appreciate it.  I had a lot of fun working with the girls.  They were all so enthusiastic and committed to the team effort.  It was very rewarding for me to see how the team came together and improved so much.  The girls have a lot to be proud of.  I hope to see everyone in the spring soccer program or next fall.  Thanks again to all the parents for your efforts and time commitment, especially to Terry, Jon and Vicki.

Have a great holiday season.

Take care,

Susan Pereira

P.S. - Terry, could you forward this on to the Reeses, please?  I don't have their email address.  Thanks.


Suggested answer to questions....

Transaction Count Question:

For the past two years, Enron has used 30-day rolling averages for daily transaction counts and notional value for our wholesale trading activities on EnronOnline due to the normal variability in these numbers on a day-to-day basis.  Due to the unusual events of the last few weeks, we provided some daily information.  However, we are again using rolling averages in all communications.  Volumes continue to hold steady at a rolling average of more than 5,500 transactions with a notional value of over $2.7 billion.

10-Q's Apparent Contradiction of Above Answer:

While the trading volumes in our core natural gas and power business have held steady, there has been some decrease in wholesale trading volumes in a few of our non-core businesses.  Additionally, due to the unusual events of the last few weeks, we have seen some decrease in the number of long-term transactions.  This in no way contradicts our comments about steady EnronOnline volumes, since long-term deals are often completed off-line and would not appear in EnronOnline's numbers.  EnronOnline accounts for approximately 60% of Enron's trading volumes.

Counterparties Not Transacting with Enron Anymore:

As evidenced by the continued steady volumes on EnronOnline, our counterparties continue to exhibit confidence in us a trading partner and Enron continues to be the market-maker of choice in wholesale gas and power markets.

Great!  I look forward to our dinner on Thurs. 12/7 evening.  Hopefully your
flight will be on time... although having watched 60 minutes last night and
suffered from a # of delays lately, let's hope that the "weather blame"
doesn't get in the way.  It's best to leave me a message @ my usual work #
on Thurs., 914 253 4187, ... I can easily check it in Houston.

I'll be staying @ the Westin Oaks in The Galleria... any preferred place
that I can book (& for what time)??  Coming over to down town won't be a
problem for me either.

Will be great to see you again.

As of November 1/01, the volumes that we can pull back at Kingsgate without incurring an SDD day have changed.

Implications for Trading

Approximately 15,000 mmbtu can be safely pulled back from Kingsgate without incurring a SDD day (as opposed to 9000 mmbtu)
Approximately 79,000 mmbtu can be pulled back from Kingsgate without pulling back Chevron/Talisman/Devon from ABC (as opposed to 69,000mmbtu).
Pulling back Chevron, Devon and/or Talisman requires their prior consent and Eric Ledain must first be consulted.
Triggering Event absolutely must not be incurred unless specifically directed by Eric or above.

If you have any questions, please let me know,

Andrea

Subject:	ABC Shrinkage Commitments

Given the experience we had pulling back our West Gate sales this past weekend and the ongoing opportunity for pull back this summer, we should reaquaint ourselves with Enron Canada's Malin deals and shrinkage obligations with the Cochrane extraction plant now owned by Williams.

ECC has longterm Kingsgate sales to ENA of 87,500 mmbtu plus fuel.
Supply is from a producer pool at NIT of 67,500 mmbtu plus fuel  and at ABC of 20,000 mmbtu plus fuel (from Talisman for 10,000 mmbtu plus fuel and from Chevron for 10,000 mmbtu plus fuel on a NIT for ABC buy/sell).
ECC has a firm longterm commitment to supply the Cochrane plant with 59,000 mcf each day subject to exceptions for force majeure and allowable "Supplier Deficiency Default" days.  ECC is paid $0.005/mcf.  Any shrinkage above this level is interruptible.
In any rolling one-year period ECC is allowed 80 SDD days but has to pay a penalty for deficient volumes.  Penalty scale is as follows:
Days	Deficiency Penalty
0-30	$.0075/mcf
31-40	$.01/mcf
41-50	$.015/mcf
51-60	$.028/mcf
61-70	$.033/mcf
71-80	$.037/mcf
>80	Triggering Event (i.e. allows the contract to be terminated or renegotiated)

As of June1, 2001 there were zero SDD days used up.
Talisman and Chevron have shrinkage arrangement that have to be respected.  Their volumes are ranked first through the ABC meter ahead of ECC's.
 A Force Majeure event with proper notification does not constitute a SDD day.

Implications for Trading

Approximately 9,000 mmbtu can be safely pulled back from Kingsgate without incurring a SDD day.
Approximately 69,000 mmbtu can be pulled back from Kingsgate without pulling back Chevron/Talisman from ABC.
Pulling back Chevron and/or Talisman requires their prior consent and Eric Ledain must first be consulted.
Triggering Event absolutely must not be incurred unless specifically directed by Eric or above.

Stacey/Andrea: It is extremely important that and accurate and up to date SDD count is maintained in our ANG point balance and verified against the monthly statement from the plant that Accounting receives.  Myself, Peggy and Trading should be regularly made aware of what the count is especially at the begining of each month and when we approach a new penalty tier.

Any questions or clarifiacations let me know.

Kevin


We have all talked and are in agreement that financial confirms/settlements
are the responsibility of Kim Theriot.  Leslie is going to sent out a memo
discussing the organizational changes within that group that will clearly
communicate that message to all of wholesale.  Let me know if you have any
other questions.

Subject: Global Products - Houston Organizational Announcement

This memo apparently was already out on e:mail when we were meeting in my
office regarding confirmations.  The language regarding Jeff's role on
financial confirmations and settlements was left in the memo.  It wasn't
clear to me when we met whether Scott and Leslie had talked while looking at
a draft of the memo or whether she had seen this on e:mail.  Since you said
that you had not seen this memo, please follow up with Scott, Leslie and Jeff
to ensure a common understanding around financial confirmations and
settlements so that can be communicated within the organization.  There
should not be confusion over who has responsibility for financial confirms
and settlements.  This memo as sent will create that confusion.  Thanks.
