I'm still holding on by a thin thread here in Portland, but I wanted to send you my vitals as I'm experiencing advanced symptoms of the travel bug. Needless to say, you're one of the major reasons I have no regrets about having worked at Enron. Definitely stay in touch. Elliot

Hi Girls, I just wanted to say thank you for the flowers. They were beautiful and still in great shape when I left on Tuesday. They were peach and yellow roses with red eucalyptus berries, baby's breath, and greenery. The bow was strands of yellow and brown raffia. Don't know how ya'll knew, but peach is my favorite color rose and yellow is my second favorite. I really appreciate it. My mother and my sister said to tell ya'll that was the prettiest bouquet we received, and it was. We had it on a table at the funeral home with various pictures and other mementos of my daddy's life. I left them on my mother's coffee table so she could enjoy them. She commented on them each day, so I know they have given her much pleasure. Thanks again and love to all of you. I'm looking forward to fun, sun,
THANK YOU
Hey....I am sad...we will not come home until Christmas Day. Will you back after that? I would love to spend some time with you! How is Houston? I know you liked it there before but had grown to love the west. Are you looking anywhere special for a job?...like Memphis? Have you heard from any one who worked in the World Trade Center? Of course, I thought immediately of visiting your workplace there. It was unbelievably horrible! Talk to you soon....I am so glad we are e-mailing! Love ya,
Hey Kim!
Kim, Stewart and I met with Tom Lee (tomlee@ncpa.com; 916.761.4220) of NCPA yesterday. NCPA is looking to restructure a power deal with Calpine and a gas basis deal with Pan Canadian. The following summarizes the gas transaction and the re-structuring as proposed by Tom. Current Gas Structure Term: January 1, 2002 - December 31, 2002 Quantity: 5,000 MMBtu/d Delivery Pt. : PG&E City-Gate Price: NYMEX + $3.37/MMBtu Re-Structuring Option 1 Extend the term through 2004. What is the blended basis? Re-Structuring Option 2 (Kim, please note that the following structure is Tom Lee's creation). ENA assumes NCPA's position for Q2 2002 only (April-June): 5,000 MMBtu/d @ PG&E City-Gate @ NYMEX + $3.37/MMBtu. ENA buys 3 puts from NCPA involving 5,000 MMBtu/d @ PG&E City-Gate over a 3 year term ending 2004: a) Exercisable on Dec 15, 2001, ENA has the option to put 5,000 MMBtu/d to NCPA in Q1, Q3 and/or Q4 of 2002. b) Exercisable on Dec 15, 2002, ENA has the option to put 5,000 MMBtu/d to NCPA in Q1, Q2, Q3 and/or Q4 of 2003. c) Exercisable on Dec 15, 2003, ENA has the option to put 5,000 MMBtu/d to NCPA in Q1, Q2, Q3 and/or Q4 of 2004. What is the strike price? Re-Structuring Option 3 (Kim, this is my idea. That is, I think this makes more sense than Tom's). ENA assumes NCPA's position for Q2 2002 only (April-June): 5,000 MMBtu/d @ PG&E City-Gate @ NYMEX + $3.37/MMBtu. ENA sells NCPA 5,000 MMBtu/d of gas at PG&E City-gate for calendar years 2002 through 2004 except for Q2 2002. Given that we are absorbing the $3.37/MMBtu basis for Q2 2002, what is the all-in fixed price for this sale? Tom is looking for an answer ASAP. Is the above confusing enough? Call me if we need to talk about this. Laird

Kim, Sorry that I have not called in a while. I have been busy and with all the distractions at Enron, I did not want to bother you. I hope you are coping through the mess and hope that you also had a good Xmas and New Year. I am in Houston next week (arriving the 7th) and would like to see you. If you are available, I'd be happy to buy lunch or dinner. Please let me know. Take care, Laird
Hi
Hi Kim, I was just thinking about you. If I'm remembering correctly, you have a birthday sometime this month, is that right? Let me wish you a happy birthday (late or early)! Hope everything is going well for you. Maria, Janice, Sonya, and Sylvia still talk about how nice you are and what a great person you were to work with. I've tried to tell them how mean you are, but they just will not believe me. If this note goes through to you, write back and I'll forward your reply on to those Day Ahead ladies, they would get a kick out of hearing from you. By the way, Maria wants to know how old you are? :o) Happy B-day Kim!
You...

We need to protect the flows to Citizens on TW. I know you guys have been working on this, but Citizens continues to receive cuts. Please secure the supply off of TW. Let Sempra know that IB Link gas will not do. Thanks,

Kim - Attached is a workbook with tabs reflecting the August 2001 Palo Alto calculation, Enron calculation and the manual invoice we sent to Palo Alto. I will fax you the Enron Unify invoice and supply verification. We met with Anne Bike to go over the deals and the Palo Alto calculation prior to forwarding the manual invoice. We are now in the process of trying to get the deal correct in Sitara and Unity. Please review and let me know when you are ready to discuss and how you want to go forward.
Palo Alto Invoice
As I have discussed with you, Citizens is concerned about the frequency of upstream supply issues that have resulted in the recent cuts in the deliveries to the Griffith power plant. Based on the information I have received, the reasons for these cuts have not risen to the level of Force Majeure, which as you know is the only event that would excuse performance under our contract for firm delivery of gas. Citizens therefore requests that Enron respond to Citizens in writing with a descriptions of the steps Enron is taking to insure that there is not a continuation of these contract performance issues into the future. Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated.
Griffith Sales
Jim: Here is a term sheet for gas supply. Prices are up quite a bit today. The fixed price is about $3.30/MMBtu. Recognize that it is very volatile right now, however, and prices could be back down tomorrow. I am still working with EES to se if they want to submit an offer. C

Kim, Russel Diamond is going to provide to you a complete overview of deals, power and gas, and MTM positions, plus contractual status. You should get a copy of the master documents.

Pls have the consolidated package for me prior to my departure at 1:30 to Las Vegas. BT

Kim, The FedEx package of contracts is going out tonight. I've included: Clarke County gas purchase agreement with APEA SMUD gas purchase agreement with APEA Enron gas supply agreement with APEA I told Roger Mock that once we confirmed that the delivery point with SMUD and ensured that we were comfortable moving it, we'd let him know. I also wanted to make sure that from the West Gas Desk's perspective, if we change the delivery point but leave quantity and term alone there would be no price differential to APEA? Just keep me posted.

Stacy - With respect to Item 6 of Frito-Lay's Special Provisions, I propose that we modify that paragraph to read more like our ENFOLIO. My suggestion is that we replace Frito-Lay's Item 6 with the attached. Please review and contact Kim Ward as soon as possible with language acceptable to Legal. Thanks,
Frito-Lay language - change to Item 6 of Special Provisions
In order to comply with FERC regulations regarding title to natural gas, Enron proposes to sell natural gas to Frito Lay at the Permian supply basin and act as agent to manage Frito Lay's TWPL transportation agreements. The agency agreement would authorize Enron to act on Frito Lay's behalf to optimize the use of the transportation agreements. Enron's Interstate Transportation Management Fee Enron shall be paid the greater of a flat fee of $.00/mmbtu for all quantities delivered to the California border and consumed in Frito Lay's facilities or a percentage of incremental value realized as a result of optimization the TWPL transportation agreements. To the extent Enron can increase Frito Lay's profitablity by implementing alternative supply and transportation strategies, Enron proposes to retain ___% of any incremental value realized on the TWPL transportation agreements.

Hi, Just wanted to get an update from you on the Citizens info I asked you about last week. I am wondering about the payment to John Cogan for Aug production and the EAMR payment due. Did you talk to Sarabeth about that? Thanks
Citizens
Kim- Here is the August spreadsheet. These are the changes I've made so far: I changed the formula in column R I added in the new contracts for August The differences between my model and the invoice are the way that they calculate the actual gas flow to Malin (column L on mine and column Z on theirs); It also appears that they do not include the Redwood credit. Looking at my model now, I also don't remember what the calculation in column D is for. It seems kind of unnecessary to me and doesn't make much sense. I know this is a lot of stuff to look at. If you don't understand what I just wrote, ask me and I'll explain what I'm trying to say. Thanks,

Kim, Kelli and Jeff - I have taken a look at the Northern California Power Agency deal, and it looks pretty good from a credit standpoint. We currently have some exposure to NCPA on the power side, but it rolls off by the end of the year, so I think that we can still get this deal done. Some outstanding issues: 1. We MUST have a Master Firm in place with NCPA to transact on this deal. I can begin working on this, but I need to get NCPA's latest financial results to determine an appropriate collateral threshold for NCPA. This shouldn't be a huge hurdle. 2. We need to ask Jeff Hodge for his opinion with respect to NCPA transacting a deal of this tenor. There are sometimes tenor limits placed on municipal entities to limit the term under which they are authorized to transact. Jeff: How do we research this issue? NCPA has provided us a brief statement that indicates that "NCPA will work expeditiously to execute a definitive contract and has all the necessary approval authorities", but my feeling is that we need something a little more substantial than that. 3. Kelli: Have you spoken with Global Finance to price the embedded loan in this deal? 4. Kim: I don't think a credit reserve will be needed on this deal. 5. Kim: From the document that NCPA sent out, it appears that your Monday bid is preliminary and conditional. We need to make sure that NCPA understands our requirements with respect to executing a Master. Can your contact at NCPA help me get a copy of their latest financials so we can expedite that process? 6. Kim: ONE VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: NCPA's credit ratings have remained solid throughout the California power crisis, for a number of reasons. As such, I am pretty comfortable moving forward with this deal, given the above requirements. However, if their financial results indicate some problems, we may need to include some stringent credit requirements in the Master. I'm pretty sure that their results will look good, but this is a contingency to bear in mind as your prepare your bid. Please give me a call with any questions. Thanks, JRW

As a reminder, our TW capacity release deal with Citizens expires at the end of the month. We need to do a new capacity release deal to obtain it again through 10/2003. It is my understanding that Craig Ludtke will be posting it or has already done so. Please make sure you communicate with Craig so this happens. Otherwise, we will have problems on the 1st.

Kim: I'm checking into a PG&E citygate basis differential for the 4-months Dec.thru March off the NYMEX for United Cogen in San Franscisco. Right now, the 4-month strip is about $3.03/dth. Whoops, make that $3.26/dth. Also, I'm checking into a price for a 38 months firm gas supply at the Citygate to run from 6/1/03-7/31/06. The volume would be in the 5,000-5,500 dth/day range. Everything at United was put on hold following the 9/11 disaster. If you have any questions, give me a call. Is now a good time to buy Enron stock? Hope you're all doing well.
Winter strip and 38 month Gas Supply at PG&E Citygate
Dear Potential Gas Supplier As some of you may know our authority to buy gas off our existing spot agreement will come to an end on December 31, 2001. While we will honor current commitments for gas to be delivered after that date, but we will not be able to use the spot agreement to buy any more gas. The reason that this is happening is that our City Attorney has interpreted the new City Charter as not allowing delegations of authority such as employed in the way we buy gas now. We are seeking approval for an ordinance which must be approved by the City Council that will restore our former ability to buy gas with the kind of agreement most gas suppliers are familiar. We have the ordinance approved by the City Attorney and it will shortly be in the pipeline for approval by our Board and the City Council, but until then, this contract is a stop gap to keep us operating. I've attached the new contract and a cover letter which explains what we are doing. The deadline is November 8, 2001 at 4:00 PM. We will take the executed contracts to our Board with the counterparties listed on a Board Resolution and, if it is approved, we will be allowed to buy gas from this group after the new year begins. This is not the ideal contract but one we feel our Board will be comfortable with until we can get around the Charter problem. I can't make any changes to this contract. There is a notice published in the LA Times about the availability of the contract but I am sending it to you directly as someone we have already done business with (and undoubtedly have satisfied all our boilerplate requirements) and will probably be interested in what we are trying to do here. I Hope most of you will respond. Thanks (See attached file: Spot Gas Cover Letter.doc)(See attached file: New Spot Gas Contract.doc) - Spot Gas Cover Letter.doc - New Spot Gas Contract.doc

Kim, hope all is well. Just wanted to touch base with you to see how things are developing with the quality conference. You mentioned while we were visiting that you and Martha were thinking about speaking at a conference in Chicago. We would like to attend if that is still on. Chris, Craig and I have just finished giving the majority of our initial presentations to Mayo's various leadership committees. We have received very favorable responses, so it appears that we will be moving forward. Now the real work begins. Chris and I are about to begin conducting our internal site visits and were hoping that we could get a copy of the template you used when you conducted your business sector gap analysis. Again, we cannot thank you enough for all your guidance and help. We would not be where we are today without your support. Have a great holiday weekend.

I spoke with Earl regarding the cost differences indicated for the Calpine -Topock interconnect. The project files were discarded when the E&C Group moved to 3 Allen Center due to lack of storage capacity. But Earl recalled that Jim Tucker said that the scope change was done at the request of Marketing which explains the two work order forms that you have. E&C does not initiate project scope changes unless directed.

Michelle/Kimberly, I was looking at the economics for Park-N-Rides (on the TW Mainline Leg) thought you might be interested in this: According to Gary Choquette, it costs us in fuel 1420 Mscf/d for storage of 42,502 Mscf of gas. Assuming a BTU factor of 1.00 and at a gas cost of $3.00 per MMBTU--fuel costs amount to $4260/day. Adding O&M to this (assuming 1/3 fuel cost), the total cost of this storage to us is ~13 cents.

Kim, The info I have on the ferry is this: It is not much more expensive to have a deluxe cabin. Since one never knows about Italian accomodations, I would go with it. It is the old ferry boat that goes this route on Oct 7. Departs at 20.45 (8:45pm) and arrives at 06.30 (6:30am) on the 8th. The deluxe cabin is 105,000 ITL each (approx 50.00 USD). It is not clear. but it seems that the reservations fee is 94,000 ITL (about 45.00 USD) While the cabin rate is per person, the res fee is per cabin, I believe. The regular cabin is 47.00 each and 42.00 res. The car rate is 56.00 and res fee is 53.00. Now, I am guessing on this, as their is no clear explanation. It could be that there is a discount if you make a res ahead of time, i.e. 42.00 for prior res and 47.00 if you show up at departure time. Same as passenger/cabin fee. It may mean 45.00 with prior res or 50.00 if you show up. I'll let you know when I receive an answer. It may be next week as I just e-mailed the request this morning. Regards, Dee

Vince, According to the attached schedule, we should begin allocating costs in July to the ETS Revenue Management group for Capital Project Work. In addition, no allocations have been made in 2001 to Dan McCarty's group. Have any agreements been reached as to the amount of these allocations and where they will be charged? Also, no allocations have been made for John Goodpasture's group, pending the creation of a new cost center. Kim, can you tell me where this should be charged yet? Thanks,
Allocations to ETS
FYI - In working to load rates for the FERC California reporting requirements, it appears that for the last four months Duke Energy T & M contract #27291 has not been billed the incremental fee of $0.06/dth for alternate deliveries to the Cal Border (over and above the base discount negotiated for the contracted primary points). Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks,

EGS & Industry Mentions
The Commission meeting yesterday, chaired by Pat Wood, consisted of discussions on FERC's: Administrative Issues ? Strategic and 2002 Business Plan Priorities for the strategic plan for 2001 through 2005 were outlined yesterday and include a) promoting secure, high-quality environmentally responsible energy infrastructure with consistent policies; b) encouraging competitive markets in lieu of traditional regulation; c) protection of markets/customers through fair market oversight; and d) efficiently running FERC. In reaching these goals, FERC intends several initiatives such as removing impediments to market investment, encouraging use of new technology; continuing to advance competitive markets; addressing landowner, safety and environmental concerns and striving for clarity not only in specific areas such as cost recovery but also in communications to stakeholders. Shortly, Staff will be recommending a twelve-month plan as part of the overall strategic plan. ? Infrastructure Adequacy There will be a series of open commission meetings held throughout the U.S. beginning in November in the West; in December or early spring a meeting will be held in the northeast and later in 2002 for the Midwest and south. The intent is to reach out to the states for greater cohesion. ? California Infrastructure Update Staff concluded that the California natural gas market for take-away capacity was insufficient to accept delivery of all interstate capacity. The California Energy Commission released a report on September 24 that agrees that more expansion in California is needed. Constraint Study FERC will complete a constraint study with associated costs that should be completed by November 7, 2001. Staff cited constraints in central New York state and California. Massey asked if the study was to provide solutions or recommendations. It is a study to identify the constrained areas and the resulting costs to consumers. RTO FERC is imposing additional "incentives" to encourage the formation or joining in RTOs. The Midwest, Northeast and Southeast RTOs will be considered at a FERC meeting in October. There will be a series of meetings in "RTO week" to focus on congestion management, cost recovery, marketing monitoring, transmission planning, reliability standards and transmission rights. A NOPR is expected to be issued on market design and structure. Marketing Affiliate NOPR, RM01-10 The Notice of Propose Rulemaking would apply one set of rules across both natural gas pipelines and electric utilities. Under the proposal, transmission providers must operate independently and treat all customers on a nondiscriminatory basis. The rules would be codified in a new section of the regulations and would broaden the definition of affiliate to include all "energy affiliates." The only exception noted in the discussion was the exclusion of Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) from the definition of energy affiliates. The Commission was presented two options to address the applicability of the rule to public utilities' native load merchant functions. Option A: Status Quo - the rule would not apply to the bundled retail merchant function. Option B: The rule applies to the bundled retail merchant function and would prohibit merchant employees from having access to the control room of the utility. After extensive discussion, the NOPR was approved 4-0 with additional language added on behalf of Commissioner Breathitt to state that Option B may not be included in the final rule and encourage comments by affected parties and the States. Massey questioned whether the NOPR is primarily focusing on broadening the definition of "energy" affiliate and whether there are any energy-type affiliates that would be exempt. Staff responded that the emphasis is on broadening the definition to include all "energy affiliates" and no energy-type marketing affiliates would be exempt, except RTO's. The proposed rule extents the current prohibition against disclosing certain information to all "energy affiliates". The rules do not directly govern energy affiliates, but they govern the disclosure of information and the separation of transmission employees, officers and directors from other businesses. Under the proposal, waivers may be requested, if operationally required or under emergency protocols particularly for small systems. Gas Pipeline Operational Flow FERC has tabled this item for the next public meeting on October 11.
Summary of Commission Meeting
Kim, Thank you for your time on Wednesday. I enjoyed meeting you and appreciated the discussion regarding pipeline economics. I was thinking about the capacity you sold in 2003 on an Index to Index basis. On the attached diagram, the boxes colored black represent my understanding of your current position (you are locked-in to $1.00/MMBtu for the Calif. Border Index minus San Juan Index but exposed to San Juan Basin gas prices for the fuel required to deliver 20,000 MMBtu/d to the Calif. Border). You can easily lock-in your cost of fuel gas as shown by the swap colored in red. I believe that you did this capacity trade when gas prices were higher, therefore you could fix your fuel cost at today's lower prices and earn a higher margin on your capacity sale than originally expected.

Williams Launches uE Web Site For Cross Commodity Pricing Tulsa-based Williams on Monday launched uE, a cross-commodity price index for both spot and future energy prices, as a companion to its web-based EnergyNewsLive.com. Similar to the Dow Jones for equity markets, the Williams uE will offer an equivalent benchmark for the overall price of energy, measuring the price average of eight individual commodities: electricity, natural gas, unleaded gasoline, heating oil, ethane, propane, residual fuel and jet fuel. The site includes information on pricing trends including a national spot uE, forward uE, regional uE, commodity quotes, as well as daily, weekly and monthly commentary. Included on the site is EnergyPulse, which will feature Dr. Dennis O'Brien, director of energy and policy at the University of Oklahoma. EnergyPulse now airs every Friday on Williams' EnergyNewsLive site, and offers an analysis of trends in energy pricing and the impact the economy has on energy. Williams uE was introduced a year ago when EnergyNewsLive debuted, and Williams said it has tested and refined the site for the company's own market activity. It also has been reviewed by the Energy Information Administration, said Williams. To view the site, visit www.williams-ue.com.

I am assuming these were the last contracts. They are the last ones I was forwarded any how. None the less, my top two concerns Today: I assume we are going to compare the predicted economics to the actual economics then look at alternatives to options in Sun Devil (Like a GE turbine) I've got an idea of what we can do for the fuel portion of this deal if we do look at turbines. One of the issues dicussed in detail before we did this project with ECS was WHY is TW doing a deal with ECS versus a stand alone deal. If I remember correctly, the pitch to FERC was that TW did not have the expertise to facilitate a peak avoidance alone. Mary Kay Miller should remember these details...

Becoming an Exceptional Leader: manager's training UPDATE
Kim Monday I will be on vacation. I have listened to the message from Questar and it seems like that the Morongo Valley area ( with R.O.W issues) is a few miles away from the SOCAL interconnect. The distance from Needles to SOCAL interconnect is approximately 90 miles. The horse power requirements to handle up to 100 mmcf/d from Needles to SOCAL is around 2,500 hp. Based on the above, and also assuming that SOCAL has the capacity to handle up to 100 mmcf/d at a pressure of 850 psig at this location, the conversion/ compression cost is as follows: Conversion costs for 90 miles: $9,000,000 Compression cost: $6,000,000 Total costs $15,000,000 Note: As we have discussed before this cost is based on EE&CC cost estimate of 1997 plus 5% escalation for each year.

Below is a link to the Proposed Decision by Com. Bilas on the Gas Industry Restructuring proceeding that has been lingering on the agenda for most of the year. This was just issued late last week and published today. I'm still in the process of reviewing it but the good news is that he is proposing the adoption of the Comprehensive Settlement which Transwestern helped design and supported along with most other participants. The decision does however make some modifications which may not be in our best interest i.e. the adoption of a price cap for secondary market transactions. Due to the lapse in time on this proceeding, Com. Bilas has granted participants the right to file comments by Friday, October 19, 2001. Please review and advise if you agree we should file comments (I also have a call into Mark Baldwin). Note this is 140+ pages--you may wish to review the summary and pertinent sections.

Comments on SoCal GIR Proposed Decision
I made room reservations for the 3 of us on November 5 only at the Sheraton Uptown (505-881-0000). The rooms are not guaranteed past 6:00 pm. Our confirmation numbers are as follows. Ron M. 118587 Darrell S. 118588 Dennis A. 118590 I checked on flights and the best bet is a 2:30 pm flight arriving Albuquerque at 3:36 pm (next one wouldn't get in until 7:37 pm). Flights back to Houston are 2:40 pm and 4:30 pm arriving at 5:37 & 7:37 pm respectively. I vote for the 4:30 pm flight to make sure we don't run short on time. LET ME KNOW ASAP MONDAY TO BOOK. Right now the fare is $156.25 & non-refundable. Not sure what it will be Monday. Kim, I don't know your plans in and out of Albuquerque so I didn't book a room for you. I thought you were headed elsewhere from Albuqueruque. Let me know if you want me to do something on arrangements. Ron M.

Kim, Mark listed below are the ETS Operations employees that will participate in the Southern Trails due diligence October 29th and 30th in Salt Lake City, Utah. L.D. Stephens - Team Leader/Operations Larry Campbell - Environmental ???????? - ROW (To be determined by Johnny McGee and communicated directly to you) Mike Ames - Pipeline Safety As discussed, these employees will arrive in Salt Lake, Sunday evening, October 28th prepared to go to the data room Monday 29th and Tuesday 30th. They will return to their respective home locations Wednesday morning, October 31st. Please provide a Questar contact person and address of the data room. If you could also provide the name of a hotel close to the data room, it would be appreciated. Names of other Enron parties participating in the due diligence and where they are staying would be helpful. Any specific limitations imposed upon the data room review should be communicated as soon as possible. Morris Brassfield (Operations Support) and Jerry Martin (E&C) have determined that it is not necessary for them to have personnel attend the data room. The operations team will retrieve as much information as possible to support their needs. It was also my understanding no one from Planning and System Optimization would participate. As I will be out of town the rest of the week, please communicate directly with these individuals via e mail. If you need to need to contact me, I can be reached at 713-303-2764. Don
Southern Trails Due Diligence
Mark: The following are certain Right-of-Way needs and/or questions. 1. Are the ROW records located in Salt Lake City or Long Beach, CA? 2. Does Questar have a ROW data base? If so, can they prepare a report, which would identify product limitation (i.e. Crude Oil specific), multiple line rights, pipeline size limitations, assignability, consent, etc. 3. An Encroachment report. 4. A Rental/Term report. 5. A report identifying any known curative problems. 6. Can they identify whether the following problems that existed in 1997 have been cured? a. BLM issues RE: Contract Purchasers vs. Land Patents b. Pipeline lies outside of defined R/W in certain locations c. Railroad licenses sold to municipal entities that may have required new terms and rental amounts d. Relocations i. Anaheim Hills ii. Morongo Indian Tribe (possible Union Pacific Railroad R/W longitudinal occupation vs. private) e. Franchise Agreements 7. Will new pipe be required for connection of Four Corners pipeline to existing Transwestern pipeline system? If so, would this be across the Fort Mohave Indian Reservation in Mohave County, AZ? It is my understanding that this due diligence will not involve the balance of Arizona, which includes the Navajos', Hopis' and the Bennett Freeze area (disputed tribal lands). Is this correct?

DICTATION DRAFT FROM GREG PORTER I just spoke with Georgetta Baker, lawyer for SoCalGas, and Rick Miles, FERC's ADR group. We discussed the possibility of mediation based upon both parties representing in pleadings filed in Docket No. RP01-620 (TW Complaint) that both companies were interested in alternate dispute resolution (ADR). After discussing the various types of ADR, we agreed to begin with mediation. Rick Miles will be the mediator. The mediation process that was discussed was an evolutionary one whereby parties would meet in a neutral location to discuss resolution (i.e., settlement) of its claims. Both parties indicated a willingness to settle. Rick Miles will act as a facilitator. Mr. Miles' function will be one of moderating discussions and not evaluative. As the mediation process continues without resolution, Mr. Miles' role will evolve. Later on, if the parties desire, Mr. Miles offered to bring in a FERC staffer that is a subject matter expert to offer his or her views of each party's case. Also, if the parties desire, the subject matter expert would indicate how he or she would recommend the Commission rule on the merits. Initial dates of November 7-8 or November 13-14 were offered as potential dates for the first meeting. A neutral location needs to be agreed upon. Once additional information is learned, I will advise. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I have reviewed the La Plata Facilities O&O Agreement. Lee, could you please review the same and see if you agree with this assessment? It appears to me that the pigging facilties could qualify as either of the following: Special Services. This would be subject to prior written consent and agreement between the Operator (TW) and the Operating Committee (TW & NWPLRepresentatives). If NWPL agreed, their share of the cost would be in proportion to their ownership interest. If we did obtain their approval, future O&M cost attributable to the pigging facilities could be shared among the owners. (We've agreed to a flat fee for 2000 through 2003 with a 3.5% escalator starting in 2001.) Addition or Expansion. Demonstrate that the pigging will add incremental transmission capacity. We have to give notice to NWPL and they have 60 days to participate. If they participate, they share in the cost at their ownership interest, but they get a share of the incremental capacity at their ownership interest. If they don't indicate a desire to participate in 60 days, we can proceed with the Expansion (without any approval, but also no cost sharing). Also, any incremental O&M associated with an expansion cannot be passed on to any owners not participating in such expansion. I think if we went the Special Services route, we would need to justify the need for these facilities to maintain the integrity and efficiency of the facilities at current levels. I think we would spend alot of time arguing this with them and in the end they would probably approve it subject to them not incurring any cost. (They probably don't have $260,000 ($1.5MM * .174) sitting around in a budget somewhere that they'd like to fork over for these facilities.) Rich, what do you think? How difficult would it be to demonstrate that these facilities are necessary for maintaining the current operating levels of the facilities? Recommendation: To save us the 60 days notice period of an Expansion, I think we should notify them that it's a necessary Special Service and ask for approval (& to pass along their share of the cost), but to be prepared to eat 100% of the costs to obtain their timely approval and proceed with the installation of the facilities. In this event we would need to agree on the inclusion of future O&M attributable to these facilities. FYI, their ownership interest is still officially 22.3% since they have not executed the Amendment that has been tendered to them 3 times, first by me and twice by Lynn Blair. If they execute the Amendment that incorporates the 4/1/98 expansion of the facilities, their ownership interest will be 17.4%.

Dave, Using the numbers we have today and the Pemex volume of 240/day @ $0.25 as we have noted does not get KM to where we would want to be. I layered on an additional 5 year commitment on the 240/day to cover some of the gap but we were still short of targets. I then modified the debt term to 20 years which should be acceptable as the project would be supported for that length by the extended term and that covers an additional portion of the gap. However, we are still short of our target and my calculations indicate a need to have 22/day @ $0.25 starting in year 3 and lasting through year 20 to make up the difference. In the alternative, a rate of $0.267 with the 20 year term and 20 year debt note also gets us there. All in all, neither one is that big of a hill to climb so we know what we are looking at. Mark, Could you review from TW's perspective and see if you come up with numbers in the same ball park?

In the CPUC's meeting today, the Commission approved the proposed RLS/Peaking tariff which provides for a bypass peaking rate when customers bypass their system except for peaking service. It appears they approved the June 19th Proposed Decision which establishes a cost based rate made up of four components--Customer Charge, Public Purpose Program charge, Reservation Charge and a volumetric Interstate Transition Cost Surcharge. As soon as the Order is published I'll review the final Order and advise if this is still true or if any changes were made. SoCal will have 10 days from the Order to file an Advice Letter with conforming tariff sheets.

Western executed 10,000 MMBtu/d of Blanco to Thoreau capacity effective June 2002, as an additional source of supply for their Red Rock expansion contract. The capacity is for 15 years at the maximum rate, generating $5.6 million in demand charges. Sold two packages of stranded firm transportation to Burlington Resources from LaMaquina to Blanco for November and December at $0.05 plus fuel, which gives TW an incremental revenues of $45,500 not already in plan. These transactions were executed through EnronOnLine.

Albuquerque Regional Meeting Agenda
Calpine - Meet with Calpine to discuss Red Rock FT. Calpine has been allocated 33,529 MMBtu out of their 40,000 MMBtu Red Rock contract for receipts from the West Texas Pool. They have indicated this is not satisfactory and may pursue (I'm not sure how) this in the future. We are still working towards designating specific receipt points for their entire MDQ. SoCal - Jeff Dasovitch made initial contact with the CPUC about SoCal's unwillingness to confirm TW volumes at the SoCal Topock point on an alternate basis. He would like TW to continue in its efforts to keep these discussions going as well. (Rick Ishikawa is out on vacation this week and I have a call into him.) This week, Richardson Products contacted So Cal about this issue as well. Calpine is also interested in having the flexibility under its Red Rock contract to deliver gas to Socal Topock (on an alternate basis) and is meeting with SoCal next week and will discuss this with them. OBAs - I have made initial contact with all my volumetric OBA parties to begin discussions on resolving payback and going forward on the tariff OBA. Lorraine

Presentation
New Peaking Rate for SoCalGas Could Spur Bypass After various fits and starts surrounding the issue over a number of months, California regulators Thursday established an alternative demand stand-by charge, called a "peaking rate," for Southern California Gas Co., which could open up the utility to "economic bypass" by interstate pipeline projects lined up and ready to go at the border. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) rejected the utility's own proposal as "anti-competitive." "This case has been very contentious," said the lead commissioner assigned to the case, Richard Bilas. "For the most part, the response to SoCal's application was negative." Noting active opposition from large end-users, merchant generators and interstate pipelines, Bilas said that it is difficult to find an ideal peaking rate for gas. CPUC President Loretta Lynch dropped an alternate proposal to support Bilas. Ideally, the regulators are trying to keep the utility and its captive customers whole, while not deterring the option of what they call "economic bypass," said Bilas, noting that SoCalGas' proposals did not "reflect market reality. The new rate calculation is very complex, and potential competitors have yet to comment on its impact. A number of proposed interstate pipelines are lined up at the border awaiting a decision which would make it economic for them to proceed into SoCalGas territory, including an expansion of Mojave to Sacramento, Questar Corp.'s proposed Southern Trails oil-to-natural gas converted pipeline from the Four Corners area to Long Beach, and Kinder Morgan and Calpine's Sonoran pipe to San Francisco. Up to this point the utility's residual load service (RLS) charges -- which customers of other pipelines had to pay in addition to charges paid to the transporting pipelines -- made it uneconomic to sign up on other lines. Called on by the CPUC to come in with a more moderate system, SoCalGas had proposed replacing the RLS charge with a peaking charge that customers said was just as onerous.
