Dear Jeff How are you?
I hope everything is allrigth for you.
My father wanted to sent a letter to you.

John -- Jeff Skilling asked me to forward the attached materials that he mentioned to you yesterday.
Ken Lay discussed this comprehensive solution to California's energy crisis last week with a group of San Jose CEOs -- Dan Scheinman attended on your behalf.
As a result of that meeting, we drafted the attached letter for CEOs to send to the Governor and following legislators:

Jeff, I noticed one of your questions on E Speak today concerned the disposal of waste food from the Energizer.
Coincidentally one of our companies, Custom Feeds, is negotiating with Marriott for the right to collect all of the waste food from their various corporate facilities for processing into animal feed.
This is probably a better solution than giving the food to the homeless since it may not be deemed safe for consumption by health authorities after setting out at room temperature.
Also regarding Custom Feeds they just signed a 3 year contract to sell 95% of their capacity to a large agricultural feed wholesaler beginning with Custom Feeds first production runs.
This will put Custom Feeds ahead of the projections on which we based the investment.

I wanted to thank each of you for participating in the venture group's "Grand Slam" event this week.
It was a big success.
We received very positive feedback from the attendees.
One of our primary objectives was to provide our portfolio companies with further insight into EBS' strategy/business model, and each of your presentations was a key part of telling the Enron/EBS story.
In order for the portfolio companies to develop products that are strategic to EBS, it is imperative that they fully understand our business model.
I know everybody's schedule is very busy, so we appreciate you taking the time.

Jeff Skilling Mike McConnell Greg Piper John Arnold Thank you for agreeing to interview with Vijay Vaitheeswaran of the Economist on Tuesday.
Mike is scheduled for 12:30, Jeff for 2 p.m., Greg for 3 p.m. and John for 4 p.m. Vijay is working on a story about old economy companies embracing the Internet.
He'll be testing the idea put forward by Erik Brynjolfsson of MIT that companies profiting most from the Internet are ones with a culture of openness.
As background, he has secured an advance copy of a new Harvard Business School case on EnronOnline, which basically outlines the advent of EOL.
It's a story that you all know well, and so you should not be disadvantaged if you don't have a copy of the study.
(I can give you one if you want it.)
Specifically, he'll be probing: How did the company begin to think about using the Internet?
Have our views altered?
What role models did we use?
What changes have worked best and why?
How far has success been dependent on changing corporate culture?
Has it gone far enough?
What has been the impact on staffing?
Do we have the right people to do what needs to be done?
Has the Internet made -- or will it make -- substantial cost savings?
What is the scale of investment needed?

Jeff Candidly, this wouldn't have been my approach (posh location, closed format, odd group, seemingly self-serving agenda).
I read the article below as unsympatheticand almost mocking in its tonetoward Enron.
It's noteworthy theBeverly Hills meeting was not covered in the Los Angeles papers.
Instead, this article comes fromthe front page of the Bay Area's San Francisco Chronicle (Democratic bastion and home to both of California's United States Senators, power broker Willie Brown, Attorney General Bill Lockyer and the state's public utility commission).
Consistent with myconcern about a "coast-to-coast firestorm"engulfing Enron, the New York Times ran two articles today that were unsupportiveof the company.
q Senator Calls for Hearings Into Energy Regulators' Moves By CHRISTOPHER MARQUIS Senator Dianne Feinstein called for hearings into possible improprieties between members of the F.E.R.C.
and private energy interests.
q Enron's Dispute With Utility in India Grows More Tangled By SARITHA RAI The dispute between the Enron Corporation and Indian federal and state government officials keeps getting messier.
These follow the Times' tough piece on Ken Lay yesterday.
Undoubtedly, the Washington Post will have to get into fray soon.
My feeling is that just as with the "business" side, Enron's public policy strategy needs be well informed, sophisticated and comprehensive.
I fear that anything less will fuel the potential of undesirable outcomes for Enron's reputation, leadership and shareholdervalue.

Jeff: My name is Tom Mashington and I'm a Construction Project Manager for EES in their Philadelphia office.
A few weeks ago, I received in the mail a Enron newsletter which contained a feature of you and your interests.
While reading the article, I noticed that you're into "Anything Africa."
Two years ago, I was working in Ghana, West Africa on a cogen plant with Stone & Webster.
Most US.
citizens have no idea what the conditions are like in these 3rd world countries.
I was curious as to how many trips you've made to the sub-Saharan section of the continent and to which countries you have visited.
Earlier, I was discussing my African experience with Marty Sunde.
I sent him a few ebony wood carvings purchased from the local villagers.
These pieces were hand carved by artisans in the area.
If you have a moment, you should stop by his office on the 8th floor where he has them on display.
I have also attached the files containing a few digital photo's from the area where I lived and worked.
These are primarily photos from the local villages near the plant.
While you're viewing the photos, you should be able to recognize me.
I'm the only American looking individual in the tribe.

Hi- This afternoon at 5pm I have a conference call with moderators from forums 1,3,5 along with Johnny Duncan to determine draft order for upcoming Forum draw.
J. Hines has agreed to head the selection of the new Forum as his Forum is not going to participate.
My understanding is that your Forum would pass on this draft as well ...our goal is that by next year all Forums would have 9-11 members with 10 as a norm target... according to my records you should be there by participating in next years draft...I believe this will leave 7-8 for the new Forum along with 1 or 2 veterans to form its nucleus..Please email me if you have any thoughts that are contrary to my thinking or if you wish to be on the call, please notify me or Vivian asap....

I would like the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the synergy between MyGiveBack and Enron.
I know you are very busy.
I am only asking for ten minutes of your time.

Jeff The attached "Rough & Tumble" is an electronic clipping service targeted at California politicos and policy wonks.
It carried the LA Times version of the Lockyer comments a couple days ago.
Today, it has the NY Times article on Ken Lay.
It's pretty clear that in the near-term, Enron and it's leadership are at risk of being engulfed in a political firestorm which bounces from coast to coast, gaining strength each step of the way.
However, it is the long-term challenge that draws my attention.
From my research to date, I am left with the strong impression that the Enron's capacity for acquiring, distilling and assessing business information is much stronger than it's abilities with public policy information.
Ken Lay, you and your team have shaped a innovative and entrepreneurial company rooted in agile arbitrage of business knowledge.
Like Goldman Sachs, it is hard for the "man on the street" to understand precisely what Enron does.
However, because of your presence in businesses that play out daily in homes, schools and small businesses, Enron will be scrutinized in a way the Goldman couldn't imagine in it's worst nightmares.
From my perspective, the success of Enron's business model demands a sure footing in both business and public policy.
Going forward, these two areas of expertise need become intertwined to assure the success of the highly sophisticated, ethical, innovative and insightful global corporation known as Enron.
I would like to help you succeed with this challenge.
I look forward to our discussions.
| I would like to help you succeed with this challenge. |
Jeff, Thanks for being on the panel at the CEO Forum.
I really appreciated getting to hear the Enron story and talk through the talent issues with you.
At my end, I am targeting my time to work with a few executive teams who are looking to forge a consensus response to problematic issues around managing for shareholder value, dealing with the "nasty bit," and managing context so that it does not overtake core.
If I could ever be of use to you at Enron, it would be a privilege.
Cheers,
| IF there is something useful I can do... |
In order to prepare a paper for my graduate class on Leadership, I would like to interview you as a leader.
Some questions that would be of interest would be what events conspired to bring you to Enron, what developmental process you knowingly (or unknowingly) went through in your early years and what challenges have you encountered that made a significant change in your career.
If you would be amenable and have the time, I would like to interview you sometime next week for about 30-40 minutes.
If you wish, I could provide you questions in advance to maximize your time.
Thank you for considering this request.

Jeff: The whole team and I very much enjoyed our meeting with you last Friday.
We were looking forward to having the opportunity to tell you all about the progress of our business.
We felt that the give and take and the dialogue during the course of the meeting was excellent, and we hope that in the future we will be able to have useful dialogues like this at appropriately periodic intervals.
To memorialize the follow-up steps from this, we thought it would be useful to write this down so we may remain responsive to your questions regarding our progress.
1.
We want to confirm the reasonableness of our net churn numbers; we plan to develop a fact base of churn experience over the course of the next few months and analyze these compared to the original business case model.
We would be prepared to review this churn with you in about three months.
2.
To analyze the rationale of our hedging of long term contracts against the "disaster" of falling prices; this is to be done against the assumption that our customers will leave us on the basis of strict economic rationality.
We believe that providing this type of analysis would be very useful for us as we enter the year 2002 where power and gas prices will be substantially different next year than they are now.
We would be prepared to review the results of this analysis with you in the fall.
3.
Decompose our net cash burn to indicate the "levers" to reduce that cash burn against unforeseen problems/disasters.
We would plan to do this as part of our normal budgeting process for 2002.
We would plan to review this with our Board in our fall meeting.
We believe that it is the right course of activity to review this with the Board and then follow up with you if there are any questions going forward.
We also believe that there could be an opportunity to review the cash burn significantly given the fact that a large part of our cash burn is spent on systems development for entry into specific markets.
Jeff, as I said in the beginning, we very enjoyed meeting with you and we hope that we were able to prove to you that we have made substantial progress.
I would like to feel that I will have the opportunity to get in touch with you at key juncture intervals during the development of our company.
Thanks again for your time.

Mark, You are a couple of days ahead of me.
You have a good tickler file.
First, may I offer my congratulations on your recent marriage.
You moved to Turkey to write - now you have someone to share your life experiences.
Life is good.
I am doing great.
The market appears to have bottomed out is now "ratcheting up".
And yes- our new president is headed in the right direction with his tax cut and especially his energy policy.
If we can just keep the Governor of California from going too far out into left field and people realize what we have today was a result of the "past" president.
Speaking of field, I went to Enron Field last night.
Fantastic baseball stadium.

I'm sure someone else you may know also feels the same way.
Yes, it's premium time again.
Jeff made a $15,000 Gift to the Trust on 5/2/01 - Send Crummy Letter after this date.
I told Jeff when he made the gift, I would be contacting you to make the premium payment at the end of the month I will e-mail you on 5/30/01 the exact amount your are responsible to pay.
As last year, I will e-mail a Word attachment you can sign and fax back to me.

If you guys watched the Monaco Grand Prix this past Sunday... perhaps you saw the fellow from the Ferrari team who went on the podium to receive the winner's trophy from Prince Ranier?
That was my good friend Luca Baldisserri, who is the chief engineer for Ferrari and won almost everything these past few years with his driver Michael Schumacher...Luca is likely the best car engineer in the world, and is interested to join me in the future as a partner to operate a team in the U.S. based CART "IndyCar" series...
I invited you both as our sport requires strong corporate partners to function... and thought you may have interest with knowledge that you would be working with some of the best people in the world... which would make it reasonable to achieve a very positive return on any corporate investment.
Please feel welcome to keep in touch... and to join us for a race this summer if you wish.

Jeff, I have been researching Enron and understand some of the difficulties with running global applications.
Many companies have problems with database replication over a wide area network.
Traditional database replication is great for local area replication within one data center.
Once you scale to multiple data centers, traditional replication is unreliable, complicated to set up and manage, and very expensive.
Zembu's software was designed to address this exact problem.
Our data replication and synchronization solution can be used with 2 to n geographically dispersed data centers.
Zembu also alleviates problems with:

Ken and Jeff: Glen Darden, the President and CEO of Quicksilver Resources, Inc., is a longtime personal and professional friend of mine.
Recently, he has asked whether I would consider serving as an outside Director on the Board of Directors of Quicksilver.
Before meeting with Glen to discuss this further, I want to make sure that Enron does not have any objections.
Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, Quicksilver is a natural gas and crude oil production company engaged in the development and acquisition of long-lived producing natural gas and oil properties.
Quicksilver began trading publicly in March of 1999 on the American Stock Exchange (KWK).
Quicksilver has a long standing business relationship with Enron.
Enron has historically entered into pre-pays and hedging transactions related to natural gas production and continues to do so today.
Enron (via JEDI) also provided some financing at the time of the merger of Quicksilver and Mercury Exploration and was a significant shareholder of Quicksilver at the time of its initial public offering.
I believe JEDI has since divested this stockholding.
If I were to serve on the board of Quicksilver, I expect that there will be related party transactions of a routine ongoing nature that would need to be disclosed and which I would need to abstain from voting on as a member of the board.
However, I do not feel there would be any material conflicts of interest as Quicksilver's core business is complementary to Enron, not competitive with Enron.
As a personal matter, it is an experience that would be beneficial and would provide valuable personal visibility in our industry.
I am scheduled to meet with Glen and others at Quicksilver later this month to further discuss this possibility.
Would each of you please let me know after due consideration whether you have any objection to or concern with the position.
Please do not hesitate to call me (x67713) if you have any questions or wish to discuss this further.
Thanks.

<<MF June 1st 2001.pdf>> Good Friday Morning - Comments From The Local Guys!
In comments made by Steve Slifer, Lehman Brothers' economist, he indicates that the U.S. economy remains in limbo - neither in recession nor in recovery.
After a string of weaker-than-expected economic data, Friday's employment report came in stronger than expected.
Payroll employment fell 19,000 in May, as expected, but there were large net upward revisions of 153,000 to March and April.
The unemployment rate fell a tenth, to 4.4%.
On the surface, this suggests strength in the economy; however, the drop was caused by a decline in the number of people looking for jobs.
This is a sign of weakness, not strength.
However, there has been a rise in both major measures of consumer confidence in May, and Congress passed a major tax cut, including almost a percentage point worth of economic stimulus in 3Q.
All of this leaves us where we started: more near-term economic weakness and another 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve on June 27, The 30-year US T-Bond yield is 5.70%.
.
The 5-year is trading at 4.90%.
Spot crude oil is trading at $27.90 p/b.
Natural Gas - Henry Hub - is trading at $3.94 p/mcf.
AD Time: New Federal Insider-Trading Rule (Rule 10b5-1) have been adopted by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
This rule greatly enhances an insider's/employee's ability to trade his/her corporate shares during blackout periods.
Previously, without the protection of this new SEC rule, employees and insiders could safely trade only outside of designated blackout windows.
Under this new rule, insiders/employees may have the ability to purchase and sell their corporate shares even during blackout periods if a written plan was established and in force when the insider/employee was not in possession of material, non-public information.
The new rule contains other restrictions and should be reviewed carefully.
Lehman Brothers has established a turn-key plan that take into account the regulatory procedures for establishing such a plan.

<<MF June 8th 2001.pdf>> Good Friday Morning - Comments From The Local Guys!
The following are highlights from Lehman Brothers economists Stephen D. Slifer and Ethan S. Harris's weekly comments: "The dichotomy between the near-term and medium-term economic outlook continues to build.
Recent data for capital goods spending and the job market point to a further deepening of the growth recession.
At the same time, the forces for eventual recovery continue to gather: major tax rebates are now a done deal, the Fed continues to ease aggressively, the stock market has begun to recover, and consumer confidence has begun to turn upward.
We remain confident that the economy will recover sharply during the second half and return to solid trend growth in 2002.
However, given the considerable downward momentum in the economy, the recovery may not be soon enough to deliver the solid 3% GDP growth we are forecasting in 3Q.
Our current forecast has just one more 25 bp rate cut from the Fed.
However, the odds are growing that the Fed will need to implement a 50 bp cut or two 25 bp cuts."
The 30-year US T-Bond yield is 5.72%.
The 10-year note yield is 5.33%.
The 5-year is trading at 4.87%.
Spot crude oil is trading at $28.04 p/b.

<<MF June 4th 2001>> Good Monday Morning - Comments From The Local Guys!
Lehman Brothers' U.S. Equity Strategist, Jeff Applegate, believes that the stock market is "climbing a wall of worry".
In his weekly comments, Jeff believes that investors are jittery about the fragility of the stock market rally, concerned about corporate profits and the economic outlook as well as possible inflation.
However, Jeff believes that the earnings trough is imminent and that stronger GDP growth lies ahead.
His bottom line is that the equity rally over the last couple of months has a "firm footing" and should continue.
The 30-year US T-Bond yield is 5.67%.
The 10-year note yield is 5.32 The 5-year is trading at 4.89%.

Hi Jeff.
I hope you are enjoying the challenge of running Enron in the midst of all the excitement and change in the energy industry.
I want to bring to your attention an issue that affects me quite directly in my new role as CEO of TransElect, an independent electric transmission company.
I think it also affects Enron in a very significant way.
The National Grid has applied to the FERC for a declaratory order that would permit the Grid to operate the Alliance RTO (this is a Midwest RTO that includes AEP, Exelon, DTE, CMS, First Energy and Dominion).
I believe quite strongly that FERC should deny this petition because the Grid is a significant owner of both distribution and generation assets in the Northeast (New England Electric and Niagara Mohawk).
It is a very small step from this decision to one that would allow Southern to operate GridSouth, or one that would allow Entergy to operate the Florida RTO in exchange for FP&L operating the Entergy RTO.
As a matter of National policy, transmission operators should be independent of either the wholesale or retail electric markets.
As a business issue, many transmission owners are reluctant to divest of transmission because they retain hope that their transmission can be used to protect above market native generation.
How would you like to try shipping power into the Northeast with the Grid, a major retail supplier and a significant generator, controlling access to the market?
| The National Grid |
Dear Jeffrey: I came across your name in the business press.
As an industry leader you are knowledgeable about the latest trends and where the companies are heading.
You constantly meet top managers and some may be hungry for management talent and/or require rapid change action.
What value can I bring?
I have nine years of combined experience in management, change consulting, international marketing and business development.
Most recently, I took part in transforming Fortune 500 companies into more active e-business players.B efore, in four years I have developed international markets from 0 to over 40 country coverage, 140 companies and units (mostly in Europe, but also in the Middle East and in Asia).
I am looking for right opportunities and growth challenges.
If the organization wants to speed up their international expansion and avoid some costly mistakes, I can bring in a successful record of developing business and resources in country-to-country approach, balancing think-global-and-act-local theme.
And/or If the organization can benefit from broad range of change experience: I led project teams of art designers and copywriters achieving national promotion goals, led researches towards addressing relevant issues in their projects, led consultants in delivering management change programs for major corporations, led the creating of new customer and supplier networks globally.
These were project teams representing diverse experience, background, and management levels.
And/or, finally If you would like to share your insider's perspective on where the industry is heading in exchange I can provide my insights into developing business in Europe.
I am flexible on location and only a phone call away.
Sincerely yours
| There are never enough of good people ... |
Just wanted to let you all know that the following media outlets were at the press conference this morning: Channel 2 Channel 45 Channel 48 KUHF radio (NPR) The Houston Business Journal picked up the story and is currently running it on its home page (it will appear in print this Friday).
Channel 26 plans on coming out to the awards celebration tomorrow night.

Did you hear the one about the 8-year old who rode a bike from Houston to Austin?
No?
There's no punch line.
This is the truth.
In the 2000 MS150, Evan Haas, 8 years of age, did the distance on a tandem, and is back for another go, but this year with Team Enron, on his own bike.
Evan turned 9 on April 14, and is celebrating by doing the MS150 all over again!
Evan Haas 9 years old Riding with his father, Ryan Also along on "chaser" is Ryan's sister Madison, 7 years Evan is already a celebrity 4th Place in the 2000 Velodrome All City Competition in the 10-12 year old category 3rd Place in the 2000 State Cyclocross Championships in the 10-14 year old category Current record holder in the "Team Pursuit" - 4 person team with total combined ages of 37 (time 8:04 min).
This team has issued a challenge to all of the velodromes in the nation, and none has answered with a comparable age level.
Watch for Evan, and your challenge will be to come in ahead of him.

May 26, 2001 Dear Mr. Skilling: As part of Enron's Imagine the Future Day (4/24/01), a group of Ernonite's voluntarily got together under the tutelage of Dr Peter Bishop (Chair, Studies of the Future Program, University of Houston) to create scenarios of possible futures and their impacts on Enron.
You once said, "I guarantee that if there is one thing Enron thinks about, it is what we'll do in the future."
(ESpeak 2/29/00).
With that in mind, you might find the following of interest - our ideas and thoughts about Enron and the future.
The context created for envisioning possible futures for Enron was based upon our opinion of Enron's core capability: our ability to effectively exploit discontinuities in the marketplace.
Enron has successfully exploited discontinuities created by pipeline deregulation, resulting in the creation of Enron; the Internet, resulting in electronic trading and on-line business activities/portals/exchanges; and telecom deregulation, resulting in bandwidth trading.
Since Enron is so adept at this, we focused our activity specifically on identifying potential future discontinuities and their implications to Enron.
These are our conclusions: Future: Rock Around the Clock Description: Anytime you want it, anywhere you want it capability to transact business/to do work.
Discontinuity/Trends: Builds on discontinuities created by the Internet and current technology trends of convergence, increased ubiquity, wireless and miniaturization.
Enron In This Future: Is fully and entirely networked; primary revenue generation occurs via the communication wires.
Business ops "rock around the clock", 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Employees are fully networked and fully connected, giving employees the choice of when and where to work.
Office space is no longer an issue because the employee IS the office.
Employee uncertainties exist about privacy, lack of interpersonal relationships, and "wireless chains."
Wildcards: Major information systems disruption (global?)
completely shuts down business ops; Enron wires unknowingly become 24-7-365 facility for international wire fraud and money laundering.
Future: Not in My Region, You Don't Description: The return of regional protectionism and increased government interference.
Globalization is seen as too overpowering, prompting regions to fight for a return of power and local sovereignty.
The result is strong regional trading and political blocks that wield much influence.
Their first action: restrictions on international business activities.
Discontinuity/Trends: Contrary to discontinuities created by the fall of communism, and trends related to globalization and eroding boundaries; corresponds with current trend related to increasing numbers of regional economic unions (EU, CIS, ASEAN, Mercosur, NAFTA, etc).
Enron In This Future: Is ordered by international authorities to dispose of non-US based assets (at a loss) and is forced to vacate foreign countries.
Retrenching back into the US occurs.
Enron's competition becomes increasingly intense and vicious as other multinationals retrench as well.
This increased competitiveness occurs at the same time collective group/industry action is needed to counteract the action of the regional blocks, leaving Enron (and others) struggling to find a balance.
Future: Regulation Re-run Description: Power and telecom re-regulation occurs.
Discontinuities/Trends: Contradictory to current global trends toward privatization of government services; supported by social and political reaction to "CA style" market failures, perceived decline of competition due to provider consolidation, perceived supply issues with water, gas, oil.
Enron In This Future: Goes "incognito", taking on a new identity.
Governments seek to nationalize our assets.
Wildcard: propelled and facilitated by increased regionalism and protectionism (Not in My Region, You Don't).
Future: The Taxman Cometh - Even to Cyberspace Description: Internet commerce has become so big, taxing authorities can no longer resist - taxes are levied on all Internet transactions.
Discontinuities/Trends: Corresponds with current discussion by US and others regarding Internet taxing; corresponds with the increasing power of the Internet as a purchasing mechanism.
Enron In This Future: All of Enron's on-line transactions are now being taxed.
The volume of transactions still remains high; record keeping becomes a nightmare.
Wildcards: Tax imposed is retroactive; government cannot track flow of funds and ability to tax accurately is ineffective.
Future: Enron's New "Corporate DNA" Description: rapid advances in biotech solutions lead to trading opportunities in biological "commodities."
Discontinuities/Trends: Corresponds with: recent technological advancements in genome mapping and sequencing, and cloning; increased political/social discussion regarding bio-ethics; increased business/social/political discussion regarding bio-based intellectual property rights.
Uncertainties exist regarding the effect of biotech on human race/evolution.
Enron In This Future: Is the first biological commodities trader in the world.
Focus is shifted from energy into the biotech realm.
Move clearly positions Enron as a company of the BioTech Century.
Enron structures the new bio-market and creates new types of bio-commodities paper.
Biotech trading requires a new type of trader with life sciences background; Enron forms relationships with medical, nursing and other bio-based programs for recruitment.
Wildcards: biotech terrorism; worldwide epidemics; social opposition.
Historically, discontinuities such as these favor smaller companies because they are inherently quicker to respond.
As Enron grows, we become more vulnerable to rapid market changes because it takes longer for us to "sense" them and to react.
While none of these discontinuities is certain of course, there is merit in understanding they may occur so Enron can "sense'" them and be prepared to respond early to the new opportunities they may offer.
Of the futures this group constructed, Enron's New Corporate DNA is our most interesting and merits further "flushing" for details.
I'm sure this group could do that well, should you be interested.
There could be significant opportunity for Enron in the bio-tech trading future.

Dinner in LaGrange will be a great affair.
Randy Gross of the Enron Aviation Department will again provide us with his fabulous barbecued brisket and sausage.
The Marriott will be there with some great side dishes and some chicken thing that I know will be wonderful as well.
J. Paul Oxer is once again Camp Director and has some great improvements to the 2001 tent.
Heather Choate is the Volunteer Coordinator for the 65 operations volunteers in Bellville, LaGrange and Austin.
Thanks to all!
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS DINNER IS PROVIDED FOR ENRON RIDERS AND QUALIFIED VOLUNTEERS ONLY.
Many of you have family and friends gathering in LaGrange with you, and they are welcome to visit us in the tent, but we can't feed them.
We will need to strictly guard against the possibility of running out of food before the last rider comes in.
As a means to control this, if you are not wearing an Enron cycling jersey or an Enron Cycling Club volunteer t-shirt, your name will be checked on a master list before you are invited to participate in the dinner.
Since all our volunteers do not know you, please don't be offended when they check the list for your name if you are not wearing an Enron jersey.
PLEASE DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS.
IT'S NOT THAT WE ARE INHOSPITABLE, IT'S THAT WE ARE IN A REMOTE LOCATION WHERE REPLENISHMENT OF OUR FOOD SUPPLY IS NOT POSSIBLE, AND WE DO NOT WANT TO TURN A TIRED, HUNGRY RIDER OR VOLUNTEER AWAY FROM THE TABLE.
THERE IS FOOD AVAILABLE FOR YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS THROUGH THE MAIN DINING PROVIDED BY THE MS SOCIETY, AND YOU CAN GET THE LOCATION FROM OUR INFORMATION BOOTH IN THE TENT.
THE CHARGE IS $5 FOR DINNER, AND $3 FOR BREAKFAST FOR NON-RIDERS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION !

Friends, Most of you know about our company ValueScience Corporation, though for some this is an introduction.
We have been "at it" for two years now, and have created a really special company dedicated to developing world class tools to unravel the mystery of building shareholder value.
We have attached a very brief overview and FAQ which will help fill in some of the blanks, but suffice it that we are setting out to completely change the basis on which companies are valued, the way that we understand stock market behavior, and the tools by which Senior Management sets priorities, allocates scarce resources, and values transactions (e.g., M&A, private equity, IPOs, technology acquisition) Please expect us to begin communicating routinely to you about ValueScience, comments on recent market events, insights about trends in value drivers in key markets, etc..

| VEHICLES AT TULLY |
Sorry to bother you with another note, but I've received so much reaction to my Tully parking notice, I'm writing again to tell you not to be concerned about being locked out of the Stadium if you're riding the bus back.
Some people think they're not going to get in by 11:00, and are concerned about not being able to get their cars out.
The last bus leaves Austin at 7 pm, and that would certainly get you there by 11:00, but if it doesn't for some reason, they're not going to lock the stadium until the last bus has dropped of its passengers.

I have held discussions with Tim Weithman, Ashley Kerr & Ken Brooks (immediate supervisor) regarding a request for vacation for the 3rd or 4th week in May.
I have been told recently by both Ms. Kerr as well as Mr. Weithman that those of us being severed from the company are not permitted to take any vacation time between now and June 1st.
It would seem that there are several inconsistencies regarding Enron policy as well as how the subject was presented both to the group as well as individually.
Below are the inconsistencies I speak of.
During the group meeting in the beginning of April there was no mention of "vacation freezes".
The only reference to time that was mentioned was that you must be employed by Enron as of June 1, 2001 to receive the severance package.
During my private discussion, in which both Ms. Kerr and Ms. Gray were present, I was presented with the specifics of the severance package.
I specifically remember being asked for my current unused vacation amount.
I gave them the amount of 152 hours and was told that I would be reimbursed for that total unless, of course, I took any additional vacation.
This implied that regular Enron vacation policies would be in effect.
Again, at no time was it presented to me that I was ineligible to take ANY of my earned vacation or that there would be any deviations from normal Enron policy regarding vacation.
At no time has Mr. Weithman, Ms. Gray, Ms. Kerr or any other Enron agent made public a policy of vacation freezes.
At no time were there ever any public or private requests that the plans for those with previously scheduled vacations to be made available to any Enron agent.
I can find nothing in my severance package that states any deviation from the standard Enron vacation policy.
I realize that Enron policy requires vacation approval from the supervising employee.
It states in that policy the following: "An employee's preference for scheduling vacation should be adopted when possible."
"The supervisor must verify that unit staffing needs are met before approving an employee's vacation request."
I am currently still an Enron employee.
I have also verified that staffing needs are met.
In summary, as you can see there are several inconsistencies with regards to the vacation policy for those being severed at Clinton Energy.
It more than offends me that I am being prohibited from taken ANY part of the 152 hours of accrued vacation that is, by all accounts, mine to take.
This being said, I am formally requesting one last time that I be granted my vacation request during the month of May.
Furthermore I would like this approval as soon as possible so that I may make necessary arrangements.
As you review this I am consulting an attorney so that I may be advised of my rights regarding this matter.
Thank you,
| Clinton Energy Vacation Policy & Request |

<<MF April 20th 2001.pdf>> Good Friday Afternoon - Comments From The Local Guys!
One of the reasons that we, the Local Guys are pretty exited about the recent rate cut by the Federal Reserves is that we think it will make a real difference.
Over the last few months, there has been considerable talk that while capital spending (especially information technology spending) has been budgeted by corporations for 2001, it has, to a large extent, been 'frozen' as the economic uncertainty had taken a grip of corporate comptrollers.
We believe that this latest rate cut (and possible future cuts), could well spur greater corporate confidence (as well as spur greater liquidity from the capital markets) and thus free up already allocated budgets for corporate spending.
The 30-year US T-Bond yield is 5.81%.
The 10-year yield is 5.30%.
The 5-year is trading at 4.81%.

Over the past few months, Enron Global Finance has been evaluating various opportunities where Enron and Smith Graham & Company may be able to work together.
Unfortunately, the process was slowed when our primary contact at Smith Graham, Gabriel Hayes, left the firm earlier this year.
We have since reestablished discussions and the Global Finance Group is preparing a proposal that a portion (about $30 million) of the Enron Cash Balance Plan portfolio be dedicated to an emerging managers portfolio.
One-third of this money ($10 million) would be invested in bonds, which could be placed with Smith Graham, as the fixed-income manager .
(Total Plan assets are about $235 million.)
The proposal will be submitted to the Plan Administrative Committee at its quarterly meeting on May 3rd.
The proposal should be well received as the Committiee has previously requested that we optimize our existing allocation to minority money managers.
Gerald Smith has been advised that Enron is looking at ways to allocate money to the firm, and that a decision should be reached sometime in May.
We have not communicated the specific details of our intentions as of yet pending the outcome of the May 3rd meeting.
I am available for further discussion at your convenience.
Regards,

Jeff: Thank you for agreeing to spend a few minutes on Tuesday, April 17 with Moody's Investor Service.
You are scheduled to speak at noon in room EB50M.
To put the day into context, Moody's will have heard prior to your session presentations from Andy and Ben on 2000 results, Mike McConnell on Global Markets, and Jeff McMahon on Wholesale Services.
Our afternoon session will include presentations from Dan Leff on EES, Rod Hayslett on ETS, Kevin Hannon on EBS and Rick Buy on RAC.
In attendance from Moody's will be (in order of rank) Mike Foley - Group Managing Director, John Diaz - Managing Director, and Stephen Moore - Relationship Manager (our analyst).
Diaz and Moore are very familiar with the Enron credit profile.
Foley is their boss.
He apparently is the leader of their ratings committee.
He has not historically attended our meetings.
Key messages for you to hit (which will have already been touched upon by Andy and reinforced throughout the day) include: Enron's core businesses - have never been better.
We are the market leader in gas and power by a wide margin; Portland General - we will ultimately divest of this entity and are disappointed that the Sierra Pacific transaction was derailed by regulatory hurdles.
However, PG provides considerable, stable cash flows; International Asset Sales - we are still committed to liquidating our interests in low returning investments.
Market problems have delayed our M&A effort but we expect movement in the next 12-24 months; Credit Profile is critical to core businesses - we protect our credit rating as a matter of corporate policy.
Our asset sale and corresponding capital redeployment strategy is based in part to allow us to either reduce leverage or to invest in areas with stronger cash flows thereby improving our key coverage ratio; and Issue Resolution Ongoing - we have some issues (such as California, Dabhol, and Azurix) which are important and are receiving the attention of top management.
They will be covered by Ben and Rick Buy's group.
The main message is that they are not representative of our core business.
If you have any questions, please call me at x31770 or (713) 962-4013 (cell phone).
Thanks,

<<MF April 23rd 2001.pdf>> Good Monday Morning - Comments From The Local Guys!
At the end of 2000, a new Federal Insider-Trading Rule (Rule 10b5-1) was adopted by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
This rule greatly enhances an insider's/employee's ability to trade his/her corporate shares during blackout periods.
We, the Local Guys would like our readers to know of this new rule change because of its significant advantages over the prior insider trading rules.
Previously, without the protection of this new SEC rule, employees and insiders could safely trade only outside of designated blackout windows.
Under this new rule, insiders/employees may have the ability to purchase and sell their corporate shares even during blackout periods if a written plan was established and in force when the insider/employee was not in possession of material, non-public information.
The new rule contains other restrictions and should be reviewed carefully.
Lehman Brothers has established a turn-key plan that take into account the regulatory procedures for establishing such a plan.
Please email us or call us for more information.
The 30-year US T-Bond yield is 5.72%.

As most of you know, one of our beloved team members had a serious accident during the MS150 on Saturday, just before the Bellville lunch stop.
His name is Joseph Kaye, and he is a two-year veteran of Team Enron.
He was taken by helicopter to a trauma unit in the medical center where he remains in ICCU.
I want you to know that even though his prognosis was bleak at one time, he has come out of his coma, has demonstrated control of all his extremities, and we are anticipating a full recovery.
He has several fractures of his skull which will heal, and he has no spinal impairment.
This healing is a miracle unfolding.
I have just returned from a visit with Joseph's family.
I told them you have been e-mailing and calling, and they asked me to thank you for all the concern you have expressed and the prayers that have been sent his way.
The family asked that I receive any cards or letters you may wish to send, and I will make sure they are delivered as appropriate.
Please send to: Amelia Alder, Enron Corp, P.O.
Box 1188, Suite 3AC-3120, Houston, TX 77251-1188.
We have been unable to determine the cause of the accident, and only know that it did not involve a collision with a motor vehicle or another bike.
And you might know......those of you who share his passion of cycling......some of the first thoughts he was able to communicate by writing with his good hand were: "Where's my bike?"
Please keep Joseph in your thoughts and prayers, and I will keep you posted if there is any other news.
Best regards,
| MIRACLE IN BELLVILLE |

Dear Jeff, I have been an employee of EBS for just about one year.
I relocated from New York City, where I had lived and worked all of my life.
The reason I made the move to Enron and Houston was the "opportunity and growth" that EBS was going to provide.
I sold my home, left my job at AT&T of 18 years and uprooted my family and bought a home in Houston.
I enjoyed my various jobs at EBS very much and felt as though I have made a strong contribution to EBS.
Yet, I have been told that my position is no longer needed and have been placed in the redeployment program.
I have had no opportunities presented to me within Enron or EBS during the past 30 days.
I have 15 days to find a job.
My family is very upset and worried.
My question is " What is the company doing about employees that have been released and feel betrayed?'
Rob Picciotto
| Floor meeting question |
Jeff: I've been trying to get large enterprises to use us for getting incremental bandwidth.
The current mindset seems to be either "I already have too much bandwidth" or that "I need my network to be secure; how can I trust you to be in business five years from now?".
Can you suggest some ways of breaking this gridlock?
I firmly believe that getting some Fortune 50's on our roster will establish our reputation.
BTW, congratulations on making it on yet another list (this time a personal honor in Worth magazine).

| October HAN Breakfast--Recap |
Mr. Skilling, I have been attempting to work with Enron Broadband for over six months; indeed, we have an 'Agent' agreement.
With the recent market disequilibrium, it has become next to impossible to close deals with your company.
Like you, I am a consultant, a deal-broker, a veritable rainmaker.
Unlike you, I didn't consult with a big firm.
I am independent an am extremely hungry.
That said, I would love to sit with you to discuss opportunities of where Enron is going and how they are going to get there.
These impromptu emails often work and have even afforded me one-on-one chats with the likes of VISA founder, Dee Hock!
I can provide further background information should you be interested in meeting.
I have many ideas on the telecom future for Enron that are exciting, practical, and profit mongering.
I'd love the chance to speak with you over the phone, on instant messenger, or even face-to-face.
With perspicuity and aplomb,
| Impact |
Dear Bros, I hate forwards on emails as much as the next guy, and perhaps it's the last several beers I've just shared with brothers Grumbles, Elvis and the Mule that causes me to forward this one.
Then again, maybe it's because I couldn't have written it better myself.
For what it's worth.

Hi, Suzanne.
I was wondering if you would do me a favor.
You have sent a couple of packages to Jeff's home by UPS or FedEx.
Unfortunately, Jeff is never there to sign for them, so the packages are delayed in getting to him as we have to track them down.
UPS is very good about rerouting to the business address, but FedEx won't reroute without the permission of the sender (i.e., you).
At any rate, in the future if you would send packages to Jeff at Enron Corp., 1400 Smith Street, EB5008, Houston, Texas, 77002, I would really appreciate it.
And of course, anything marked "confidential" is opened only by him.
Thanks a lot, Suzanne.
Hope all is well with you.

Mark, Jeff is considering taking Jeffrey on an African safari July 4-13, and was wondering if you would have any interest in joining them.
He is in the process of gathering information now and has not yet committed, but wanted to guage your interest.
He's looking primarily at the Ngorongoro conservation area and the Serengeti.
I can forward a proposed itinerary to you once received from the guides.
Please let us know if you're at all interested.
