Stop the Vote Campaign
----------------------

It's a presidential election year in the United States, and that
means it's time for me to "get involved."

This year I'm organizing a "Stop The Vote" campaign aimed at
preventing Induhviduals from casting ballots.  I'll borrow a
strategy used by all politicians: hallucinations of what the
Founding Fathers intended.

As you know, people were very wise in the 1700s. Unfortunately,
something happened that made us all idiots.  I blame television.
That's why we prefer to make our important decisions on personal
freedom based on the wisdom of dead, slave-owning dandies instead
of using our own defective brains.

We have no recordings of the Constitutional debates, but I'm sure
it went something like this:

---- Re-creation ----

Jefferson:  We haven't put anything in the Bill of Rights about
genetic manipulation, Internet encryption, in vitro fertilization,
or mandatory drug testing.

Adams: Just say "et cetera."  No one is going to read it anyway.

Hancock: Let's include something to encourage public nudity.  Cable
TV won't be invented for years and I can't wait that long.

Jefferson:  Okay.  I'll call that the right to bare arms.

Franklin:  That might be misinterpreted.

Jefferson:  Who's the world-class writer here?  I keep your stupid
Almanac next to my chamber pot, and I don't mean for the reading.

Franklin:  I am soooo sorry for making a suggestion.  By the way,
your house slave "Jeff" has your eyes.

All:  HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

Adams:  You're all a bunch of asses.  I think you're giving me an
embolism.

Jefferson:  You have the right to ass-embolisms.  Hey, maybe I
should include that.  How do you spell it?

Dilbert TV Show Update
----------------------

According to my e-mail, many Dilbert TV fans tape the show so they
have permanent copies in their tape libraries.  While Dilbert is
being taped, they watch other shows that are not tape-worthy.
Unfortunately, only live viewing of TV shows counts for ratings.
This isn't a problem for some TV shows, like "Wheel of Fortune,"
because their viewers use VCRs to crack nuts.  But the mathematical
sets of "people who can program VCRs" and "people most likely to
watch 'Dilbert'" are almost the same.  This has been a problem.

The episode airing February 22nd (9:30 PM EST) in the USA will
probably determine whether the Dilbert show gets renewed.  That's
the episode featuring Jerry Seinfeld as the voice of Comp-U-Comp,
an evil computer who has taken over a company and fired everyone
except the guy who guards the electrical plug.  Eugene Levy plays
the plug guard.

Jerry's lines are mostly written by Larry Charles, one of the
original writers for Seinfeld, now Executive Producer for Dilbert.
So if you liked Seinfeld, this is the closest thing you're going to
get.

And if you know any Induhviduals who are in Nielsen families this
month, please tell them that there's some sort of "millionaire
prize" for watching "Dilbert" and answering questions posed by the
voices in their own heads.

Dilbert Episode Airs On the Internet
------------------------------------

As part of our overall pimping for the Seinfeld voice episode,
we're putting an entire show (The Merger episode) on the Internet
in streaming video, starting February 17th and running through
February 29th.  You can find links to it at
www.dilbertondemand.com.  You need the Windows Media Player, which
you can download from the site.

As far as we know, this is the first television cartoon show
streamed over the Internet in its entirety.  We made sure we didn't
research that fact too thoroughly so we could honestly say, "as far
as we know."

You'll need a reasonably fast connection, but you can view the
entire show, in bite-sized chunks, at your leisure.  Don't settle
for mere bragging about your DSL or cable modem connection;
DEMONSTRATE your digital superiority!  Invite a neighbor who has a
pitiful 28.8 modem over to drool on you.  If you wear a raincoat,
it's a strangely satisfying experience and you can hose it off
later.

If you know anyone recently involved in a merger, the Dilbert
episode on the Internet (The Merger) is the one they'll want to
see.  Find out what's in store for companies who seek "synergy."

True Tales of Induhviduals
--------------------------

I begin the True Tales section with a personal sighting.  I
recently came upon a local road that was closed for improvements.
Signs warned "Road Closed" and "Bridge Out."  As I turned around to
head for the detour, another motorist waved me down.  We rolled
down our windows and he shouted, "Do you think we should just move
the barricades and go for it?"

I don't know how fast one must drive in order to compensate for a
"Bridge Out" situation, but I decided not to try it.

True Tale 2
-----------

Some of our corporate policies have been rewritten.  Here's an
example from our expense reporting procedures.

"Receipts are required for all expenditures of $25 or more and, in
addition to this, receipts for a lesser amount are also required."

Editor's note: It sounds as if some of the people in the HR are
idiots and, in addition to this, the rest of them are too.

True Tale 3
-----------

We received a letter from the Environmental Protection Agency
stating that unless we provided answers to their outstanding
questions within two weeks they would recommend that our power
plant construction project not proceed.

Apparently they failed to notice that, a) we already answered the
questions, b) their approval had already been issued and, c) the
$600 million power plant had been built nearly two years ago.

Editor's note: If those are the sort of questions the EPA calls
"outstanding" I'd hate to hear their dumb ones.

True Tale 4
-----------

We had a Christmas raffle in the "Business Intelligence"
department.   The boss drew a number and called it out.   The
department statistician stood up to tumultuous applause and went up
to collect his prize.  Meanwhile, another employee -- who turned
out to be the real winner -- stood up to collect that same prize.
Upon investigation, the statistician for Business Intelligence had
confused ticket 593 for 539.

Editor's note: On the surface it looks as if the statistician is a
boob.  But he's the only one in the room who realized that 39% of
the time the real winner isn't present to win.  I suspect he's a
DNRC member just playing the odds.

True Tale 5
-----------

When a project is finished in my department we place a red dot
sticker on the folder to signify its completion.  One day we ran
out of red dots but still had a large supply of green and blue
dots.  Dots weren't used for any other purpose so I suggested using
the ones we have, despite their non-red color.  Color was
insignificant.  There were only five of us in the group, so
communicating the change would be easy.

My money-saving suggestion was met with resistance from cow-orkers.
 They pointed out that we've "always used RED dots" and maybe I
should check with the department manager.  I mentioned my idea to
the manager and he said I should "bring it up at the next staff
meeting."

Editor's note: Ironically, it's not a dot.com company.

True Tale 6
-----------

I paid for lunch with a credit card.  The manager put it through
the electronic card machine and got a "no dial tone" error.  She
tried again with the same result.  Then she asked me if I had
another card.

Editor's note:  That's exactly why you should pay for your lunch
using a phone company calling card.  They have dial tone.

True Tale 7
-----------

We tested our Y2K power contingency plans a few weeks before New
Year's.  The Induhviduals in IT didn't expect any downtime, so the
test was performed during the normal work day.  The idea was that
when power was cut, the six generators would kick on and we
wouldn't notice a thing.

Three generators failed to start. Two threw their breakers due to
the high load on them.  The last was overwhelmed when the previous
two cut out and threw a tremendous surge through the lines, blowing
up hundreds of light bulbs, frying fax machines, radios and pencil
sharpeners along the way.   The surge jumped circuits in our
industrial level surge protector and traveled through our "surge
protected" lines to every desktop in the company plus the server
room.  After taking out over a hundred monitors and almost forty
PCs, the surge proceeded to destroy our server room air
conditioner, four huge UPS systems, thirteen servers and both
AS/400s.  Several small fires started throughout the building,
including our now half-melted Christmas tree and our
molten-menorah.

The surge then jumped the lines into the main power grid, blowing
up two transformers, one of which fell on the IT manager's car
(poetic justice) and cutting power on the entire block.  The
remaining generator then proceeded to burst into flames, eventually
blowing up all six generators and burning up seven cars.

This all occurred within about thirty seconds and sent 38 people to
the hospital, cost the company over $650,000 in equipment (not to
mention the impending lawsuits), destroyed eight cars and caused
weeks of downtime.  Three people quit the company.  One woman is
still in the hospital with electrical burns.  The resulting
publicity got us on television in five states.

Editor's note: That story sounds too amazing to be true but I'm
printing it anyway under the theory that there's no such thing as
bad publicity.

True Tale 8
-----------

Our university library just got new computers. The library
thoughtfully provided headphones so students can listen to sound
files without disturbing anyone nearby.   The problem is the
headphone cords have been clamped to the desk in such a way that in
order to use them, you must have your head no more than six inches
from your keyboard. It is great fun to see the stu-duh-nts trying
to use them.

True Tale 9
-----------

I went to a Georgia DMV office to obtain a driver's license.
Customers are required to produce two pieces of ID.  I presented a
utility bill and a copy of my latest tax return, both acceptable
types of ID according to their published list.

The agent behind the counter said she could not accept my tax
return as ID because it was typed.  She said, "How do we know this
is legitimate?  Anyone can get a computer or typewriter to produce
this return."  I argued, unsuccessfully, that it was also easy to
obtain pens and pencils to create hand-written returns.  I was told
to come back with a hand-written return or another acceptable form
of ID.

True Tale 10
------------

I went to a fast-food restaurant one morning for breakfast.  The
moment I opened the door, I was almost swept off my feet by an
overpowering odor of gas.  I struggled up to the counter out of a
vague sense of duty, and said  "You've got an enormous gas leak
back there somewhere!" gesturing towards the kitchen.

The girl behind the counter shrugged and said, "Yeah, I know, but
I've been here since seven o'clock and I've gotten used to it."

True Tale 11
------------

I went to ask our new principal if we could have the Monday before
finals off as a study day.  We had always gotten a study day in the
past but it wasn't on the schedule this time.  He thought for a
second and then responded, "No, you have school that day."

True Tale 12
------------

About a year ago I went to buy a video for a friend's birthday.
The video was rated for adult viewing only.   I was 15 years old,
but they sold it to me anyway.

When I got home I found out that my friend wanted the sequel, not
the original, so I took it back to the store.  The video clerk said
he couldn't return the video because I didn't look 18.

I was confused, so I attempted to clarify.  "So, because I don't
look 18 you're going to MAKE me take this ADULT-rated video, rather
then let me change it for the sequel that is NOT ADULT-rated?"

"Yeah, it's company policy.  If it changes we'll be in touch."

Eventually I convinced him he was breaking the law by selling me
the adult video instead of letting me exchange it for the non-adult
one.   As I left, the guy behind the counter yelled at me, "Next
time, don't watch the video first!"

It was still in its shrink-wrap.

Dogbert Answers My Mail
-----------------------

In this section, Dogbert answers my mail.  These are based on real
e-mail to me.  Some names have been changed to make them easier to
mock.

Dear Mr. Adams,

You were duped in your last newsletter.   Someone submitted a
supposedly True Tale of Induhviduals about a little boy and a
pager.  That is actually an urban legend more than twenty years
old.  Shame on you for falling for that.

        Jim,

Dear Chimp,

Just because it's an urban legend doesn't mean it didn't happen.
In fact, just this morning Mr. Adams woke up in a bathtub full of
ice and found a note saying one of his kidneys was missing.  It
wasn't stolen; he got talked into donating it to a celebrity
auction for the National Ear Hair Foundation.  I'm working with him
on learning to say no.

        Sincerely,

        Dogbert

(Note:  In this next letter, some expletives have been replaced by
asterisks)

Dear Mr. Adams,

Your stupid ******* comic strip is a piece of ****.  Give up
cartooning and **** my ****, you *******  ****-******.

        (Anonymous)

Dear Esophagus,

There is no call for such language.  If you do it again, it will be
your "*."

       Sincerely,

       Dogbert

---

Dear Mr. Adams,

No offense, but no one will cry when you die because Dilbert is
just some goofy guy. Some of the biussness (sic) stuff is HARD to
understand and it isn't something that you can feel like you know.
Dogbert is so egotistical whereas Snoopy is so easy to know, and
Charlie Brown is not some GOOFY guy, if you know what I mean.

      Marshall

Dear Marsupial,

No offense taken. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to
"buissness."

      Sincerely,

      Dogbert

---

Dear Mr. Adams,

What is that round black thing on Dogbert's face?  My friend says
it's his mouth but I say it's his nose.

      Floyd

Dear Flawed,

I get this question often, thanks to Mr. Adams' prodigious artistic
range.  Allow me to clarify some of the shapes in the Dilbert
strip.  In general, the black circles are dog noses.  The black
ovals are mouths.  Rectangles are desks or sometimes computers.
When the ovals are turned the other way and are not filled with
black they are glasses.  Everything else is random.

I have already requested a transfer to "For Better or For Worse."
The dog mortality rate there is high, but I'm willing to take the
chance.

      Sincerely,

      Dogbert

Dilberitos
----------

If you're wondering where to find those delicious and
coincidentally-vegetarian Dilberitos that have 100% of your daily
values of vitamins and minerals, they're in grocery stores now, in
the frozen food section.  Check www.dilberito.com for store
details.

I can't guarantee that eating Dilberitos will help you live long

aerobic exercise), but it's worth a try.

Dilbert Fodder
---------------

What's bugging you about your job?  Let me know and you might see
it in a Dilbert comic, TV show or newsletter.  The best comic

management consequences, and of course my favorite - idiot bosses.

And I love True Tales of Induhviduals.

And if you're seeing any new management trends that need to be
mocked, I can help.  Send your suggestions to me at
scottadams@aol.com.  Short ones are better.

Florida based on exit polls on election night, Al Gore is ahead in the
popular vote by almost 300,000 votes, there are 1000s of votes that sit
still never counted in the state of Florida. Al Gore is the most likely
winner of this election if all the votes are properly counted.

> There has been a rush to finish this process by the Bush Campaign not
because the American people are impatient but because they do not want all
the votes to be counted. Thus they are cleverly trying to declare this
desire for a quick finality to this election as the will of the people. They
have been slowly spinning this tale since the day after the election. Don't
let this spin persist. We must stop it in its tracks by making ourselves
heard!

> Last night - shortly after declaring victory Bush appointed Cheney the
head of the transition team. Cheney quickly asked for funds from the General
Services Administration in order to proceed with the transition. The GSA
denied this request, saying the election is still undecided. In response to

Tiffany walkers?

Recently, in New York, I visited Scott Galloway, the CEO of
Brand Farm, an incubator specializing in e-commerce. Scott
told me his company was "an incubator before incubators were
cool."

"Incubators were never cool," I said, and he admitted that,
yes, being a retail incubator today is like being a short,
slow basketball player: hard to love. Then he went on to
tell me his business was different. He builds operations
around high-margin categories, doesn't limit sales to
online, and offers what he calls "edited selection."

Scott previously launched Red Envelope, a smallish catalog
and site with, to my eyes, wildly overpriced gifts. You pay
for the selection, the packaging, the brand, and the
marketing. It is essentially the Tiffany model.

At Brand Farm, he's developing Gold Violin, a specialty
catalog of luxury gifts for seniors, clearly targeted at
their newly affluent children and grandchildren. Scott is
also working on Room 12, a high-end travel site.

We may snicker at the too-precious products in these
catalogs, but the concept of offering a small number of
compact, beautifully wrapped gifts via multiple channels
sure beats pushing heavy, low-margin bags of dog food on the
Web.

Incubators are not cool. But margins are.

Gary,

Per our conversation on July 11, I would like to reiterate that an Enron entity is interested in selling approximately 330 acres of land at the Napoleonville salt dome in Louisiana.  This land is divided into two tracts, one of about 256 acres and the other about 73 acres in size.

Enron recently received $15,000 per acre in a separate land transaction at Napoleonville, and this sets the market price that we expect to receive in the above proposed land sale.

Does Dow have interest in this land?  Is this price within your range?  If so, I would encourage you to draft a proposal from Dow within the next two weeks, if possible.

This email does not constitute an offer, but is solely provided for informational purposes.

Let's discuss this at your earliest convenience.  Thanks again for taking the time to meet with me last Thursday, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Sincerely,
Eva Rainer

Hi Mark-

Hope all is well.

Attached you will find an e-mail that I sent to Alan regarding ISDA
documentation, for which I need approval from Houston.  Alan has informed me
that he left you a voicemail on this subject and I was hoping you could
provide me with guidance as to whom I should contact to obtain approval.

By separate e-mail, I will be forwarding weather derivative GTC's for use on
EOL with Enron Japan Corp. as the Enron counterparty.  Please also advise who
I should be in contact with to obtain the requisite approval for these GTC's,
as well.

Best regards,

John

		 Subject: ISDA Documents

Alan-

Attached hereto, are marked-up copies of the following ISDA documents (based
on the US versions) which have been prepared using the credit worksheet for
The Mitsui Marine & Fire Insurance Co., Limited, in conjunction with B&M:

ISDA Schedule,
CSA and
Enron Corp. Guarantee.

The footnotes will disappear when the changes to the document are accepted.
It will be relatively straight forward to revise these for other
counterparties
such as IBJ and Sanwa, which apparently have the same credit rating.  I note
that we have not yet received the credit work sheet for IBJ or Sanwa.

Please note:

1.  There are still a number of "options" in the documents which I have not
completed as I am unsure as to the desired outcome.  These are indicated in
square
brackets.  Please let me know how you would like to deal with these;

2.   It will be important to make sure that the documents are carefully
checked to ensure that we have properly incorporated the various elections in
the documents;

3.   The agreements are governed by New York law and we should ensure that
appropriate counsel reviews same;and

4.   A number of features in the agreements (particularly the requirement for
a legal opinion and the use of L/Cs as form of collateral) are not common in
Japan and are likely to meet resistance from our counterparties.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,

John


Date: Friday, June 1, 2001
Time: 6pm

All indications are that we will be here.  I have not heard anything new to the contrary.  If you need to take it off, take it as vacation for now.

Subject: Why One Firm Thinks Enron Is Running Out of Gas

Why One Firm Thinks Enron Is Running Out of Gas
By Peter Eavis
Senior Columnist
Originally posted at 5:23 PM ET 5/9/01 on RealMoney.com

A small research boutique with a reputation for rigorous analysis is telling
clients to quickly dump Enron (ENE:NYSE - news), believing that the energy
trading giant's 2001 earnings will fall well short of Wall Street's
forecasts.
Cambridge, Mass.-based Off Wall Street, led by analyst Mark Roberts, thinks
Enron's 2001 earnings will fall 6 cents short of the consensus estimate of
$1.79. The firm also believes Enron stock should trade around $30, nearly 50%
below Wednesday's $59.20.
The firm's 26-page report, published May 6, highlights Enron's declining
profitability and increasing leverage and suggests that the company should
trade on the same sort of multiple as a trading firm like Goldman Sachs (GS
:NYSE - news), which has a 2001 price-to-earnings ratio about half of Enron's
33 times. OWS also alleges that Enron's earnings quality is poor and that key
parts of its financial statements are confusing and opaque.
Houston-based Enron didn't comment by publication time on elements of the
report that Detox sent the company. An energy analyst who is bullish on
Enron's outlook says the OWS report contains fundamental misunderstandings
about the energy market and Enron's business model, but he says the report
does include some ground-breaking and valid insights. (The analyst's firm
doesn't give stock recommendations.)
Economies of Scale
Why care what Off Wall Street writes, compared with, say, analysts at Merrill
Lynch (MER:NYSE - news)? For one, OWS has an excellent track record.
Particularly sweet was 2000, when the tech stocks it had bashed came crashing
down. It has also shown itself to be well ahead of the curve, recommending
that clients sell e-tailer priceline.com (PCLN:Nasdaq - news) in June 1999,
when faith in Internet stocks was at its blindest and their prices at their
most insane.

Pulling Back
Enron retreats after long rally

Enron, with its domination of a burgeoning energy market, annual revenue of
over $100 billion and impressive earnings growth, can hardly be ranked
alongside the likes of priceline. But OWS thinks Enron is set for a
precipitous drop nonetheless. Why?
OWS's main beef is that key profitability measures are in decline. Margins on
Enron's pretax operating earnings (which the company's earnings releases call
IBIT, or income before interest, taxes and other items) are falling. Total
IBIT of $795 million in the first quarter amounted to only 1.59% of the $50
billion in revenue for the period, compared with a 2.08% margin in the fourth
quarter and 4.75% in the year-earlier period. Revenue in the first quarter
was nearly quadrupled from the year-earlier period, yet IBIT rose only 27%.
This shrinkage is due to lower-margin trading income making up an
increasingly large share of Enron's revenue base.
OWS thus calculates that for the remainder of 2001 Enron needs to generate an
extra $2.1 billion in revenue for each additional penny it makes over its
2000 EPS of $1.47 to reach analysts' expectation of $1.79.
The energy analyst counters that OWS apparently hasn't grasped how Enron can
continue to increase earnings even when margins shrink. It does so simply by
increasing volumes as the energy market balloons in size. In other words,
margins may decline, but since revenues are so much higher, earnings still go
up. Illustrating this, first-quarter 2001 EPS of 49 cents was 23% ahead of
the year-ago figure, even though the IBIT margin shrank by 3.2 percentage
points. The analyst thinks Enron will make $1.82 per share in 2001.
Growing On You
In addition, the huge growth in the energy market that has so helped Enron is
likely to continue for several years, according to the analyst. He notes that
roughly 75% of the electricity available in the U.S. still isn't traded in a
market. "Eventually it will be part of a competitive environment, but it'll
take five to 10 years," says the analyst. And he believes the extreme
volatility in energy-related commodities that has also benefited Enron will
exist for longer than OWS projects.
Still, OWS's point on profitability is bolstered by other profit measures.
Return on capital (net income as a percentage of equity plus debt) was 6.6%
in 2000, down on 1999's 6.9% and well below the 2000 returns on capital at
Duke (DUK:NYSE - news) (11.8%), Dynegy (DYN:NYSE - news) (12.1%) and even
Goldman (8.9%).
Even Enron bulls will admit that its financials are hard to follow. For
example, it doesn't give a gross margin number for its wholesale services, or
trading, business, which accounts for 96% of revenue. But one area of the
company's financial statements registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission that consistently bugs analysts is the part that describes Enron's
related party transactions, which are the deals it does with entities that
have some sort of link to the firm. In fact, one of the related entities that
Enron has traded with is headed by Enron's CFO, Andrew Fastow. The energy
analyst comments: "Why are they doing this? It's just inappropriate."
The reason for maintaining these hard-to-follow related party deals has been
a source of speculation. But OWS analysis shows how a sales of optical fiber
to a related party may have been used to goose earnings in the second quarter
of 2000. Estimated profits from the so-called dark fiber (optical cable
without the gear to send data over it) transaction allowed Enron to beat
analysts' second-earnings earnings estimate by 2 cents a share, rather than
missing by 2 cents.
How soon before Wall Street follows Off Wall Street on Enron?


Hey there!  I went to jeep at lunch.  The guy is giving me a good price on
the car.  However, he is trying to screw me on the price of my car.

He is telling me that the price of the car purchased from the dealership is
as follows...

 Manuf price        $23,668
+sun roof-          $704.00
+destination charge $600.00
+ a few addl charges$364.00
Total price          $25,336

That is pretty consistent with what I show for the price.  Possibly taking
off a few of those fees but that is pretty minimal...

I am thinking that I should sell my car myself...  What do you think.
Please see the attached file.  This is how the guy is trying to screw me.


Mary, I'm just curious why you need that info but it is 0 outside Enron comp
plans.

Regards
Delainey


This deal is entered as 7 - 22, every day of the week.  Usually it is 7 -22,
M - S or 1 -24, every day of the week.  Can you check into this and let me
know if it is correct?

Thanks!


Per my conversation with Lynn and Steve on Friday night, we have claimed
force majeure for any gas shut ins that actually happened for the 1st.  (I'm
not sure how extensive that actually turned out to be).   Does that have any
financial consequences or other consequences for us?  For example, on TW,
certain force majeure situations can force us to refund demand charges,
right?  NN's tariff doesn't have a similar mechanism, but we may have common
law exposure.  We may need to revisit the Jan 1-4 period when we talk
tomorrow or Wed.  This would really make Continental and possibly others mad,
but at worst, we could put out a revised notice saying that the shut-ins for
the 1st -4th were not FM.  Any thoughts?  DF

Just an update, I notified Continental that we will not consider the
compressor shutins made this morning as
Force Majeur.  They (Melissa Master) did not seem to be too surprised.  She
does understand
if we go back down on the 4th or 5th we will not mark any of the compressor
with Force Majeure.
Thanks for your input.  Lynn

Some additional thoughts on the force majeure issue--i.e., are we cutting off
shippers' supply due to force majeure?

1.    If the gas at the point is out of spec on water, the answer is clearly
no.  We're shutting in that supply due to our termination of a waiver of the
tariff quality spec., not due to force majeure.  We have the discretion to
grant or terminate waivers of the tariff in our discretion as prudent
operators and so long as we don't discriminate.   If that gas is out of spec
on any of the specific items listed in the "Quality" section of the tariff
(Sec. 44?  47?  I can't remember which but its one of those) then the answer
is the same.

2.  If the gas is being shut in because of heavier hydrocarbons, I think the
answer is the same as above if there is risk of those heavier hydrocarbons
falling out as liquids.  I'm remembering the catch all section of the Quality
paragraph as prohibiting "dirt, gums, and other impurities that would
interfere with the operation of compressors, blah blah" or something to that
effect.  That catch all seems to me to include liquids.  IF the c6 and
heavier is going to form hydrates and fall out as liquids, then the people
delivering those heavies to us are delivering out of spec gas--therefore no
force majeure.   I read Eric's very scientific email and I think the punch
line was that the heavy hydrocarbons may fall out as liquids--right?   The
thing I can't remember is whether the Quality section has specific max.
limits on the individual heavier hydrocarbons.  If so, and if the shippers
are within those limits, my theory based on the catch all language doesn't
work as good.

3.  If we think we need to claim force majeure, we have a problem, because we
could have bought our way out of this situation for a nickel.  Generally, an
event isn't force majeure if it is purely economic.

I'll think about this some more tomorrow and give you guys a call.  DF


The following is an update on PGG earnings for the 2nd quarter and our ability
increase our EBIT for PGG from our last current estimate of 58 million to at
least 62 million.  I talked with Kirk Steven's this afternoon and after
looking at our preliminary closing estimates for power cost for May, our June
current estimate of power cost, and the amount of overview (25 million) we had
targeted for the second quarter here is what we concluded based upon the
assumption that prices for June do not continue to degrade from current levels
like they have over the last month.

Current Estimate Provided to Enron for Q2                   58  million
Power Cost & O&M Improvement > Overview               10  million
Catchup on Enron Allocations                                     (  3) million
Total EBIT
65  million

There are two sensitivities to this estimate that could lower this number by a
combined 6.5 million.

First we understand that we may be allocated charges for the Tomas transaction
that ran through the PGG books last year.  We reserved 1.8 million last year
and we understand the total charges from GATX could be as much as $5.1
million.  We did not include anything in our targets or plan for additional
charges since this transaction was originated in Houston.

Second we have incurred $3.2 million in costs associated with supply chain
software associated with the sale of PGE to Sierra.  We will have to write-off
these costs in the second quarter since the software would only have value in
a peoplesoft system environment.  We have had good discussions with Bob Butz
about Enron covering these costs with some of the money they received from
Sierra to terminate the transaction.  We will need to resolve this in the 2nd
quarter or take the write-off which would reduce our EBIT.

In addition, as we have communicated before with you, we still have an open
long power position in June and all of the third quarter for reliability
purposes which will continue to cause our earnings to be volatile.  Recently
power curves in the west have been trading down but we would expect them to
rise as the warm weather comes on and loads in California increase.  There
have been some structural changes in the California market that could tend to
dampen the price curves for this summer.

We will continue to keep you informed on what changes we are seeing as we go
through June in terms of meeting the 2nd Quarter adjusted current estimate
EBIT numbers discussed above.  If you have any questions or would like to
discuss this further feel free to call me at 503-464-8982.

Thanks for the prompt work, John.  We are going through the agreement now,
and will get back to you soon.

Your comments are helpful.  I look forward to talking with you and your group
about options for moving the agreement through on an expedited basis under
NPC's tariffs.

I will be in Houston and Las Vegas for the first part of this week, but will
try to get in touch with you from there.

Subject: LV Interconnection Agreement

Attached is our initial markup of the above, together with a blackline
against the new draft you provided from Nevada Power (please open the
documents as soon as you can so we can be sure they will do so as there were
some conversion issues to our system - ignore the table of contents, etc.,
for now).  This is still somewhat rough and will need considerable input from
Don Hammond on the technical issues.  We did not make any changes to the
schedules and attachments this turn on the assumption that these will be
addressed as we go forward (and are quite skeletal at this point in any
case).  We did endeavor to capture most of Mary Hain's comments from the
prior email but as the new draft is so different from the prior one I am not
sure we succeeded in all respects.  The good news, of course, is that the new
draft they sent is vastly superior to the old one for this application.  We
have tried not to make many "redrafting" changes but let us know if there is
anything you feel we should revisit.  We are continuing to review some items
for further changes.  Please note that there are questions in bold in the
draft which are directed to ENA personnel and internal counsel and are not
for distribution to Nevada Power and therefore this draft needs to be revised
by us before it goes out to anyone outside of Enron.  I apologize again for
the delay in getting this to you but it has been extremely busy hereabouts of
late.  Please let me know when you'd like to discuss.  I can be reached in
our San Francisco office after about 10:00 am SF time tomorrow (415-951-1100)
but should be back in Denver on Friday.  JM

Hi, Sal.  Thanks for your message the other night.  We enjoyed seeing
everyone and had fun playing with Tyler and Amanda.  (I still get scared
when the lights are out - "I see dead people" . . . )  We'll definitely have
to do the golf next time.   I like the idea of riding around in the cart!
Mom told me Amanda is coming next week, so we'll do something on one of the
nights next week.  Have a good day!  love, c.

Hi Jeff,
I hope you get my message.  How are you doing?  How long will you be in the hospital in Germany?

I sent a package to your house with presents for the boys and some Western dressing for you.  I bet it will be there this week some time.  I sure hope things get better before Christmas!!!!!!!!

I'll keep my email short so you'll have time to read others since it doesn't seem like you get much time to use the internet.

We have our walk thru on our house Friday the 14th and can hopefully close on Monday or Tuesday the 17th or 18th.  I will be getting our phone hooked up on the 20th between 8:00 and 12:00 noon.  I can try and call you after that.  Joyce and Paul don't have long distance service for out of the country.

Our new phone # is going to be (303) 450-1626 and our address is 2264 E. 101st Ave.

Take Care and DO EVERYTHING THE DOCTOR SAYS!  (I know how you can be :)

Love,
Theresa


1.  I have learned how to prepare the NGP&L.

2.  I have gained an understanding of the originations process in order to
properly represent originations on the NGP&L.

3.  I have learned how to prepare the Benchmark.

4.  I have reduced the time spent at night running the Basis reports by
consolidating the Shankman, Fletch, and Lavorato reports into one file so
that the information                need only be queried once.  This was
accomplished by creating multiple Date Bucket designations in a single file.

5.  I updated the Greg Pos. Report, so that it ties to the Benchmark in total
and reflects the Lavorato time buckets.

6.  I updated the Gas Detail Tab of the Benchmark to include new books that
have been added to the Benchmark.  This enabled me to tie the Greg Pos Report
to the Benchmark.

7.  I created an additional section of the Gas Detail Tab to calculate the
fixed price positions.  This section is used to report the total fixed price
position by seasonal buckets on the Lavorato Basis report.

I have not included any accomplishments from my former group.  If you would
like to see them also please let me know.

Thanks,
Robin

Subject: Re: New Associates

In the fundamentals group under Hunter, there is also research going on
regarding LNG, and distillates, (and gas, weather, etc).  Vikas' background
is in crude and products, and worked at Aquiva with two of Lagrasta's
marketers.  I agreed to take him (6 months ago) and was planning for him to
research crude/products.  Celeste Roberts knows the conversations we had with
Vikas in particular becuase he wanted to start meeting people in my group and
originally did not come through the associate program, where we finally put
him, and she was involved from the beginning.  Li Sun is a Wharton MBA that
Lavo did not originally pick when he went through the list with you, and was
slated to go elsewhere.    I picked her up, after that, and she too is
someone about whom Celeste and I had many conversations. I had met her last
summer, and at Wharton recruiting events.  Prior to John's coming down
Celeste and I had agreed she could come into my organization (gas) to do
research, or to work with Vince--she is an unbelievable modeler.  I have no
idea who the other two are or where they are going, and have not met either
of them.

I suspect now that we have delineated recruiting and staffing, which occurred
recently, we won't have this confusion among the associate program
administrators again.

Not trying to kill you,

Jeff

Dave and John, I spoke to Jeff Shenkman and he has indicated that the

Although Jeff mentioned a fourth associate, these are the only 3 that are

John after speaking with you, it is clear that you have not been in contact

Dear Mr. Lay and Mr. Skilling:

We launched a new product this month called the Enron "Global Markets
Monitor", which will be published each week by my team in the Country Risk
and Foreign Exchange department within Vince Kaminski's Research Group.  We
thought you might find our publication informative.  The most recent Global
Markets Monitor is attached below.  This product was specifically designed to
serve Enron's needs by helping the traders and business units stay abreast of
international events that can have an impact on their profits and
strategies.  This publication allows these groups to focus on their core
businesses yet stay current on important developments in the global financial
and commodity markets.  Special emphasis is placed on potential central bank
policy changes and the impact these changes have on interest rates and
currencies.  The weekly publication is available on our web site, by
selecting the "Global Markets Monitor" link under the spinning "NEW":
