Subject: Annual Christmas Dinner

Hi Girls!
It's that time again.  We need to get everyone together for our annual
Christmas Dinner.  I have spoken to many of you and tried to come up
with a good time for everyone.  Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be
a "perfect day", but how about Friday-Dec. 22nd?  Please respond and
tell me what you think.  I have had a few suggestions for a
place-Churrasco's, America's, Ruggles, Benji's, Sullivans-please send a
suggestion.  Don't say it doesn't matter because majority vote will win
and there will be no recount.  The time will probably be around 8 p.m.
I know the 22nd is close to Christmas, so the 19th has also been
suggested-but I am afraid not everyone will be in town yet.  Please send
me your thoughts on the day, restauraunt, and if we should plan
something after dinner.  I can't wait to see everyone and hope all can
make it!
-Laura

		 Subject: Commodity Futures Act - Talking Points

Tori:  We have contacted Senator Gramm and Majority Leader Armey about the
calls from Ken on Monday.  Because of the uncertainty of the Congressional
schedule, both offices told us to call on Monday morning to schedule the
call.  If Ken wants to make the calls unscheduled, we expect Armey and Gramm
to both be in DC by Monday morning.

The numbers are as follows:

Senator Gramm  (202) 224-2934
Majority Leader Armey (202) 225-4000

Here are the talking points

** CONFIDENTIAL **

Talking Points on Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000

Background:

We have hit an impasse on the CFTC Reauthorization legislation.  On legal
certainty, nearly all interested parties agree.  However, Senator Gramm
continues to raise objections unrelated to legal certainty for our business.
There are two issues (which we understand have primarily been advanced by
Senator Gramm, one on bank products and one on SEC jurisdiction). Majority
Leader Dick Armey is trying to gain consensus with the interested parties
which include Senator Gramm, the Chairmen of the House Agriculture, Commerce,
and Banking Committees, as well as the Department of Treasury, CFTC, and
SEC.  Meetings are occurring on a daily basis, but little concrete progress
has been made since draft legislation was released on October 9.

Talking Points:

We need your help to resolve outstanding differences so that the Commodities
Futures Modernization Act of 2000 can pass this year.  There are very few
legislative days left and movement now on this legislation is essential. Do
not let the Congressional calendar be the enemy of gaining legal certainty
for this dynamic and growing industry.

The current version of the legislation provides important legal certainty for
all physical commodity transactions (not including agricultural commodities)
entered into on a counterparty-to-counterparty basis or on an electronic
trading facility.  We strongly support these provisions.

The legislation eliminates concerns that our derivatives transactions may be
illegal or that our online platforms may be unregulated futures exchanges.
These provisions allow our businesses to grow and innovate.  Without this
legislation the industry will be crippled with legal uncertainty and these
platforms will develop overseas.

Virtually all of the issues in this very complex legislative package have
been resolved. We are indifferent to outstanding provisions, except to the
extent that they impede passage of the legislation.  We cannot allow the
great progress made to date, fail in the end.

If asked, about a possible solution to the logjam.  Answer:  Encourage
Majority Leader Armey, Senator Gramm, and Secretary Summers to meet
immediately to finalize the remaining issues.  Given time constraints, if
such a meeting does not occur in the next few days, there may not be enough
time to pass this important legislation.

Note: Congress will be going out on either October 20 or October 27.


Well, I didn't get this out to you before I left the office last night.  I
was still pouring over bonus info until 9:30, and decided to call it quits at
that point.  Here are some of the things that I would like to do next week:

 review your action plan to move the close and officialization of London
books to same day,

 to replicate, if appropriate,  an Operational Risk information session for
London counterparts (you and I can  review early in the week what we are
doing here in Houston today and modify the info for Europe)

 discuss the Doorstep process with you and, if you deem appropriate, your
business controllers in the   London office who will participate in Doorstep
reviews this year (clear up and questions and get your input  on how to
continually improve the process),

 discuss with Mark Pickering the technology dependencies of the London office
related to speeding up   London's information for the corporate DPR

 do some planning with you for the February 12 & 13 ASE

 discuss the feasibility of utilizing our operational pricing model in London

 discuss your ideas and thoughts on CommodityLogic and other ideas around
potential commercialization of  mid and back office services

In addition, I would like to meet with anyone in the London office that you
think would be beneficial.  Through Nicki Scott, I understand that Michael
Brown would like to meet with me so we are setting that up.  I will also
spend some time with Beth Apollo and Ted Murphy while I am there.  And I plan
to meet with Fernley as well.

Any other suggestions on topics or people to see?

I think that we have lunch already on the calendar for Wednesday.


As I reported to you from Irvine on Friday, I attended the hearing conducted
by Senator Dunn in Irvine, California. It was sound bite city, with no good
press for any generator or marketer.  At the outset of the hearing Sen Dunn
stated that his committee had been in lengthy discussions regarding
confidentiality issues with the generators, without success, and that they
would be sending out subpoenas for records starting on Monday(today) and that
the production of documents from Cal ISO was to start last Friday.  Sen Dunn
spent much of the day making his public record , posturing about the
difficulty of getting any documents from any generator or marketer because of
claims of confidentiality, and how unresponsive FERC has been. He got the
FERC lawyer, Robert Pease, to testify that any confidentiality afforded to
the bid data at Cal ISO under the FERC tariff would end after 6 months. As
you undoubtedly read, the PUC chairwoman had nothing good to say about the
generators. Since the subpoenas will probably be forthcoming shortly, do we
want to have a conference call of the group to discuss what transpired at
Friday's hearing ? I am interested in knowing  how everyone intends to
proceed in response to any subpoenas from the Committee,particularly after
the failed efforts with the protective order. Please call me if we have not
talked by phone when you get this.

We appreciate your support on this.

Attached is a letter from Randy Curry faxed to me yesterday afternoon outlining the initial proposal made by Bridgeline in our meeting yesterday.  Bridgeline is not formally offering to purchase the gas, however, in a subsequent voice mail from Randy, such a purchase is not out of the question.

Additionally, ChevTex has formally requested through Jayne that the accounting information be provided for their review.  I agree with Mark Ellenberg's view that we should not provide this until we have agreement on the commercial deal.  Jayne/Stephen, I would like to hear from you on this.

We need to huddle today to discuss our response to Randy's letter and keep the momentum alive.  Given the LIP meetings this morning, can I suggest 3:00 this morning in ECN2829?

Before then, I may be calling around to get people's views on a response.

Thanks,

That is very cool!!  Sounds like Tom did great - too bad we weren't there to watch.  And it is great that you get some $ for going!   Just think - with your awesome new car next year - you could be up there with Jimmy and that other guy!  I could grab dinner or something later - when are you planning to go to Tom's?  I have nothing going on - may try to get a quick workout in.  You can just let me know what you want to do.

Subject: Funky Business

Steve,

Have you had a chance to look at the book "Funky Business" and to give any
thought to having Jonas present at the Management Conference?  I know you
have a thousand other things on your plate, not the least of which is
California, so I understand if the answer is no.  However, they've been
contacted by someone else about the date so we may be forced to decide rather
soon.

On a related subject, I'm contemplating another topic for the conference.
I'd seen an article in Fortune several months ago titled "Managing for the
Slowdown."  It talked about new challenges managers face in light of the
economic downturn.  (Most young managers have never experienced anything but
boom times.)  The article also outlines a dozen or so things companies should
be thinking about now.  (Use the downturn as a new opportunity to evaluate
people.  Overhaul your budget process.  Don't stop communicating. etc.)  I
think it would be beneficial to address similar strategies and ideas with our
managers.  I'd love to get your thoughts on this idea.  (Is it appropriate
for Enron or am I just seeing the world through bleak-colored glasses?)

 We received an e-mail today from the Funky Business office asking about the
 date we have on hold with Enron.  They have another inquiry about that date
and
 wondered if Enron is still considering using Jonas.  If you are still
 considering them I will keep him on hold.  And if they get a firm offer I
will
 let you know immediately.  We will have 24 hours to make an offer or release
 the hold once a firm offer comes in from another company.

Subject: RICE/ENRON FINANCE SEMINAR SERIES

A copy of Paul Schultz's paper, "Who Makes the Market," is now
available.  The paper to can be obtained (by Monday for sure) from Felicia
Jones (Economics), Latha Ramchand (University of Houston), and Vince
Kaminski (Enron) or Barbara Ostdiek (everyone else).

Paul's seminar is Friday, March 30, at 3:30 in Room 201 (note the room
change).

The abstract of the paper is copied below:

Abstract

"I provide evidence that Nasdaq dealers make markets in the stocks in which
they receive order flow.  Several variables used to proxy for the stocks
that individual market maker's brokerage customers would trade, including
trading volume, location, underwriting participation and analyst coverage,
are significant determinants of market marking activity.  Informational
advantages may also be a factor in the market making decision as evidenced
by dealers specializing in stocks in specific industries.  Some potential
problems that arise when researchers ignore the integration of market
making with brokerage, securities analysis and underwriting businesses are
discussed."


Many of you have friends who are no longer with the company, so we wanted to provide you an overview of continuing efforts to assist Enron's former employees.

CAREER SERVICES
Last December Enron established a website to assist former employees identify jobs in Houston and throughout the United States.  Only former Enron employees and potential employers can access the site, http://careerservices.enron.com/

On this site, former employees can:
	? Post their resumes for approved employers to view
	? View job postings
	? Receive updates and information on career and community services available to them
As of January 25, 2002:
	? More than 1,300 companies had been approved to view resumes
	? Company recruiters had logged on more than 3,500 times to search for candidates
	? More than 600 jobs had been posted on the site

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The Greater Houston Community Foundation
The Greater Houston Community Foundation (GHCF), in collaboration with the United Way of the Texas Gulf Coast, the Houston Area Urban League, Crisis Intervention of Houston, and Career and Recovery Resources, have established a fund to provide dedicated support for former Enron employees.

Steve,

John Hardy and I spoke to Kevin Hannon this morning about the status of our
20k per month retainer with Kissinger and McLarty.  As you are aware, our
office has suggested that we terminate or severely reduce the retainer.  ken
lay has kicked the decison over to Rebecca McDonald, who has yet to make a
decision.  Kevin asked me to send you an email and suggest that the contractv
be funded by Ken Lay's budget or we terminate.  You may want to atlk to Kevin
about it, but I think he is eager to get his P&L in shape.

Tom

Great article on what it truly means to be an Auburn Man

The ties that bind
Friday night meetings have helped Auburn through hard times
10/03/00

AUBURN - It started in dark and unhappy times for Auburn's football team.

Five straight games had been lost. Late in Tommy Tuberville's first season as
head coach, the team was fractured, divided by the stress of almost two years
of trouble, despair and losing.

''It was defense and offense,'' offensive tackle Kendall Simmons said.
''Whatever happened, we pointed fingers at each other.''
On the Friday night before last November's game against Central Florida, a
small group of players gathered at the team hotel at the urging of fullback
Heath Evans. They prayed. They talked about life and the sometimes bitter
turns it can take.

A bond began to grow among players young and old, black and white, starters
and reserves. It wasn't so much about winning and losing or even about
football. It was about matters of the heart.

''We may have had 15-20 guys show up that first night,'' senior whip
linebacker Rob Pate said. ''Since then, it's just like another thing on the
itinerary. It's not mandatory, but we have basically the whole team there.
We've got five or six coaches. Coach Tuberville comes in there. People just
lay out their hearts, whatever is on their minds.''

Auburn has won seven of the eight games it has played since that November
night. Players say they've done it with trust and a unity of purpose that has
grown ever stronger.

It has carried the 15th-ranked Tigers to a 5-0 record going into Saturday's
Southeastern Conference West Division showdown at 20th-ranked Mississippi
State.

Pate says they'll go firm in the belief that they can count on each other in
the most difficult times.

Pate knows about pain and even fear. A mysterious disease, now seemingly
under control, threatened his senior season.

''When you see a guy at his weakest point and he's reaching out asking you
for help, you know everything about a guy,'' Pate said. ''With me, it was my
health. Before the first game, they set a chair in the middle of the room and
every guy in there put his hands on me. We said a prayer together. Man, I was
crying.

''It's like that every weekend. Somebody on this team is suffering through
something. They share it. When you line up on Saturday, it's a lot easier to
look at that person and know he is going to give it everything he's got.''

On the field, there has been little but happiness for Auburn this season.
Tuberville says it started when Auburn players, strengthened by the bad
times, put aside their differences and their individual desires to play for
their teammates and their school.

''I've never been around a team this close,'' Tuberville said. ''They get
along. We haven't always played as great as we wanted to, but we've had guys
urging the younger players and younger players pulling for the older guys to
get better.

''It's just a special group. They enjoy being around each other and
understand what it's going to take for us to win.''

The change from not so long ago is striking, Simmons says.

''If you don't really know each other and everybody is in their own little
group, things aren't going to work,'' Simmons said. ''If you have trust in
your teammates, you can build a good team. Right now, we've got that going.''

It starts with the seniors, who have seen the good and the bad of college
football. They went to the SEC Championship Game as freshmen in 1997. Then
came two losing seasons and the resignation of their head coach, Terry Bowden.

They revel in their success, yet they know it can be ever so fleeting. They
take pride in the closeness of a team on the way back.

No one understands better than fifth-year senior quarterback Ben Leard. He
went from starter to third team in 1998, then won his job back in 1999 when
hardly anyone thought he could.

Today, he has the highest efficiency rating of any SEC quarterback.

''We have been practicing since August and we have yet to hear anyone say
'Man, I'm looking forward to playing in the NFL,' '' Leard said. ''No one is
worried about their personal accolades or how they are doing status-wise.
Everybody just wants to win ball games. The relationships we have on this
team are like brothers.''

Leard says nothing that happens can change that.

''If we lose every game from now on, this will be one of the most special
seasons I've ever had in my life,'' Leard said. ''We've got people excited.
We're excited. The fun is back in it for us.

''It's a great feeling to be able to almost look forward to coming to
practice, to see the guys, to have fun and talk. There are no fingers being
pointed anywhere. There are no individuals on this football team.''

Evans was one who showed the way, happily accepting the unglamorous role of
blocker for tailback Rudi Johnson. Every Friday night, Evans is still the one
who leads his teammates as they share their joy and their pain.

''Heath is just like that all the time,'' Pate said. ''He's a great example
of somebody who lives what he talks. He's a role model, not just for younger
people but for all of us.''


This deal is in under Short Term California, not Long Term Northwest, and the
trader is Phil Platter, not Mike Swerzbin, and there is no broker. Are you
sure this is the deal in question?

Rex/Mark -

As we discussed, I am not confident that the Automated Securities Clearance NDA sufficiently covers us in this new matter.  I have called Henry Bonner at SunGard to verify the legal structure to see if we can or cannot use it; however, he has yet to return my call.

I have prepared the attached based upon a belief that we should have in place an NDA specifically with SunGard Trading & Risk Systems.  Because we also want to move this matter forward, I have attached to the agreement a "Schedule A" in which I have outlined the work that SunGard will be performing for us - at least at the onset.  If we go beyond the first five days of this work, we should definitely have a formal consulting agreement signed to ensure we have a clear path forward on the work to be done and deliverables to be provided.

In the meantime, please take a look at the attached and let me know if this works.

Thanks.
