| NOVEMBER SCHDULE |
Group, As most of you are aware we changed time zones on Sunday.
We are back in Pacific Standard Time.
As such, we are once again in a different time zone than some of our counterparties.
Please specify Pacific time zone in your summary of your deal at the end of each phone call--translate the deal to Mountain time only if necessary.
We must be very clear on this going forward or disputes will be numerous and we will not be able to resolve them.
See me if you have any questions regarding this expectation.

Group, Just wanted to give you an update on the Wheelabrator Martel outage.
They are currently only producing 9mw (they are prescheduled at 13mw), and we are selling them 4mw back real-time in order to cover their preschedule.
I just spoke with Mike Burt at the plant, and he said that they will continue producing 9mw through HE4 on Thursday, 9/27.
Beginning HE5, they will be going down to 0mw, so at that point we need to sell them 13mw, through HE16.
At that point in time they should be back to full power and producing 13mw (their full preschedule).
I'll keep you posted on any changes.
Thanks,

FYI - We now have access to a program that should help us to use Deal Blotter as a viable tool for online trading.
As you know, no more than one trader may access a given blotter at one time ("Trader ID locked" error message).
Instead, DEAL TICKER can be used by those members of the group not currently trading online, as it allows all users read-only access to STWHOURLY deals done on EOL.
It also features a handy "refresh" function which will allow you to see Real Time deals in a real time fashion.
Here's how to use Deal Ticker: 1.
Open DEAL TICKER from the Enpower Launch Pad 2.
Click the big plus sign 3.
Under desk, specify "EPMI Short Term West Hourly" 4.
Specify correct date and time zone 5.
Select "Group 1" deal type (Cash Forwards & Index Forwards) 6.
Select "Show EOL ID" 7.
Click OK You should see a format similar to the blotter on your screen within seconds.
From there you can monitor STWHOURLY online trading regardless of who's doing it by hitting the "Refresh" button periodically.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

I met with the Research team responsible for building a model for EES and ran through the model.
The model can be used to value ERCOT deals or at least we can use it as a benchmark for pricing.
I have attached a document that summarizes what EES is using the model to price, and how we can use it to price our deals.
I am out tomorrow but will be back in the office Wed. morning.
Research is looking at historical ERCOT prices and customer load data (TXI).
I will set up a meeting on Wednesday to further discuss the model and other issues associated with deal valuation.

Group, I was informed this afternoon, around 1530 PDT, by Mike at the ISO, that Harbor's wavier rights were taken away due to higher than normal loads expected for tomorrow, Tuesday 10/2.

Please submit bids as soon as possible, at least by HE20 Monday, 10/1, going through HE24 on Tuesday, 10/2, for both units, at the real-time price cap, of $91.
If the ISO hits the bid, go ahead and accept the bid, and then call the control room to tell them to ramp up.

The fees that we charge for marketing EES has been revised and will take effect 10/4/01.
The new fees are as follows: 1-100mw's=$3 fee 100-200mw's=$4 fee over 200mw=$5 fee Please note that if we market 101mw's for EES then we charge them $4 on the whole 101mw's for a total fee of $404.
Also if we were to market 201mw's for them then the total fee would be $1005 dollars.
In other words if they go over a the limit on one fee then we charge them the higher fee on all the mw's.

In order to bring better legal coordination and standardization to Enron's Risk Assessment and Control (RAC) group, we have formed a new legal group, which will initially include Lisa Mellencamp (Finance), Marcus Nettelton (Power Trading), Carol St. Clair (Broadband/Power Trading), Mary Cook (Financial Swaps), Peter Keohane (Canada), Ed Essandoh (Retail), Paul Darmitzel (Retail) and Elizabeth Sager (Power Trading) (Team Leader).
This group will focus on, among other things, managing Enron's exposures with bankrupt counterparties, working out credit solutions with distressed counterparties and standardizing our overall credit practices.
The initial members in this group have been drawn from Enron's numerous legal groups in order to gain a broader perspective.
Each of these members will provide support to this new group in addition to their current responsibilities.
Within RAC, Michael Tribolet will focus on distressed counterparties, in conjunction with Bill Bradford, who continues to manage the Credit Risk Management group.
Please join us in supporting the efforts of this new group.

You are invited to attend the following presentation: PSIM: A Power Simulation Tool PSIM is a proprietary model developed by Enron Research Group.
?
It takes Power, Gas, Weather and demand information into consideration and uses Monte-Carlo simulation to assess the expected deal value and risk distribution.
?
It evaluates complex electricity related contracts such as Full Requirement and load following contract.
?
It also provides a valuation tool for power assets and asset management deals.
?
It works for both deal specific or portfolio issues.
In this presentation we will show how the model can be used to deal with various types of contracts, explain the model structure and point out further applications.

FYI - We have a new tool at our disposal to assist in the transfer of EOL information from Enpower to the Inc sheets.
I've saved it as the "EOL Download" in P://Real Time/Increment/Windows 2000/EOL Download.
You can use this workbook to download EOL deals throughout the day.
It's fairly self-explanatory, but here are a few suggestions: 1.
If necessary, limit your query to one region using the boxes in the upper-left-hand corner.
2.
Click "Download Deals," and enter your Enpower password when prompted.
Be sure to check that you are downloading for the current day.
3.
Once deals have populated the screen (should take no more than 30-45 seconds), filter for the hour and/or delivery point you need.
4.
Copy all relevant rows and paste directly into the appropriate Inc sheet.
This sheet has just enough flexibility to make it functional and keep it simple.
All it does is download EOL deals from Enpower - nothing more.
If you'd like to see this expanded upon, feel free to give me suggestions.
Thanks.

Jerry Scarbrough's True Orange The Newsletter for the True Texas Longhorn Faithful Volume 12, No.
3, October 29, 2001 Simms Throws 4 TD Passes, Benson Rushes For 157 Yards as Longhorns Gore Tigers, 35-16 Junior QB Chris Simms and true freshman RB Cedric Benson had career-best days and the UT defense held Missouri to just one first down in the first and third quarters Saturday in Columbia to lead Texas to a 35-16 victory.
On a day when upsets reigned across the country, particularly in the top 10, and five of the eight previously unbeaten teams lost, the Longhorns took care of business and ran their record to 7-1 overall and 4-1 in the Big 12.
With Oklahoma's 20-10 loss at Nebraska, the Sooners, Longhorns and Aggies are all tied atop the standings in the Big 12 South.
But the Longhorns have to win out and Oklahoma has to lose another conference game for the Longhorns to make it to the Big 12 Championship Game.
Saturday's victory at Missouri was a fairly easy conquest, thanks to the stout UT defense and a great performance by the offensive line that allowed Simms to complete 24 of 30 passes (80%) for 229 yards and four touchdowns and Benson to run for 157 yards on 31 carries, an average of 5.1 yards a pop.
But some strange things happened to thwart the Longhorns in the early going.
On their first drive, for example, they held the ball almost 10 minutes, rolling 78 yards in 19 plays, but they got zero points because they stalled at the Tiger 2 and Dusty Mangum missed the chip-shot field goal.
They also drove into Missouri territory on their second possession, but again stalled.
Missouri finally got rolling to start the second quarter and scored first.
That seemed to wake up the Longhorn offense and it took control and wore out the Missouri defenders.
Here, briefly, is how the game went First Quarter Texas won the toss and deferred.
Missouri took the ball and Marcus James ran the UT kick back to the 38.
The Longhorn defense forced a quick three-and-out and the UT offense had its most time-consuming drive of the year, going 78 yards in a laborious 10-minute, 19-play drive to the Tiger 2, but Dusty Mangum missed the chip-shot field goal.
Missouri went three-and-out again.
The Horns drove to midfield again, but stalled as the quarter ended.
Texas had a huge lead in statistics, with 7 first downs to 0 for Missouri, a 99-24 edge in total offense, and a 12:03 to 2:57 bulge in time of possession, but the game was all even at 0-0 in the only statistic that counts.
Second Quarter The Tigers finally got their offense untracked to start the second quarter and drove 76 yards, primarily on the passing of QB Kirk Farmer, to take a 7-0 lead with 11:12 left.
Victor Ike ran the kickoff back to the 36 and the Longhorns went 64 yards in 10 plays to tie it up.
Simms connected with WR B. J. Johnson on the 5-yard TD toss, but the big play was a 27-yarder from Simms to TE Bo Scaife on third-and-2 at the Missouri 32.
Mangum's kick tied it, 7-7, with 5:44 left.
After the UT defense forced another quick 3-and-out and got a short punt, Simms found Scaife again on the first play for a 28-yard gain to the MU 13.
A WR reverse by Johnson got 5 yards and Benson got 5 more and a first down at the 3 before Simms faked to Benson and hit TE Brock Edwards for the final 3 yards and the TD.
Mangum's kick gave Texas a 14-7 lead with 1:50 left.
The Tigers stormed down the field in the final two minutes, primarily on the running of 5-10, 225-pound Zack Abron, who gained 37 yards in three carries.
His 16-yard tackle-breaking run to the 5 gave the Tigers a first-and-goal, but his next try gained only a yard and Farmer threw two incompletions before Brad Hammerich booted a 22-yard field goal to cut the UT lead to 14-10 with 7 seconds left.
The Tigers outgained the Longhorns in the quarter, 120 to 104 yards and had a 9-5 edge in first downs.
Third Quarter Texas got the ball and again made a long, time-consuming drive, but this time it counted because Simms scored from the 1 to cap a 73-yard drive and Mangum converted for a 21-10 lead with 8:50 left.
the Longhorns overcame a third-and-11 early in the drive when Simms scrambled and found Brett Robin for 24 yards.
Vasher intercepted Farmer four plays later to give the Horns great field position at the MU 48.
The Longhorns couldn't move, but the pick kept Missouri bottled up deep in its own territory throughout the quarter and allowed Texas to start its possessions around midfield in a quarter that was dominated by defense after Texas' impressive opening drive.
The Tigers made only one first down in the quarter and Texas, after getting five first downs on that opening TD drive, managed only one more in the entire quarter.
Fourth Quarter The Tigers finally figured out their best offense was to hand the ball to Abron and he bulled for 16, 19, 3 and then 7 more for a TD.
Missouri's pass for a 2-point conversion failed and left UT on top, 28-16, with 7:41 left.
Not to be outdone, Benson shredded the Missouri defense for 11, 20 and then 4 before Simms scrambled left and found Robin, who scampered the final 25 yards to complete a 39-yard scoring play.
Mangum's kick gave Texas a 35-16 lead with 4:27 left.
Texas and the BCS The next Bowl Championship Series (BCS) standings will be a lot different from the first ones that were announced last week and Texas will be a lot higher than it was in the last one.
In the first standings, which were announced last Monday, Texas was ranked No.
6 behind five teams with perfect records.
The BCS standings are like golf in that the lowest score is the best score.
Oklahoma came in at No.
1 in the first standings at 3.06, followed by Nebraska at 6.40, UCLA at 8.34, Miami at 12.01, Virginia Tech at 13.88, Texas at 15.35 and Michigan at 15.91, to round out the top seven.
But a rash of upsets claimed OU, UCLA and Virginia Tech.
Since OU lost to Nebraska, the Sooners won't tumble far, but Texas should pass UCLA and VT. Of course, Michigan is so close to Texas that the Wolverines might pass the Horns if they keep winning.
Under the BCS formula, the top four teams in the final standings are guaranteed berths in one of the four BCS Bowls, which are the Rose, Orange, Fiesta and Sugar.
The Rose Bowl will get the national title game this year.
Right now, that looks like a Nebraska-Miami battle, but both teams have some big games left before making that date.
Texas could make it to the Rose Bowl, but it would require some big upsets, like Texas A&M or Texas Tech upsetting Oklahoma, and then Texas beating Nebraska in the Big 12 title game.
But the Longhorns will make it to one of the big BCS bowls if they keep winning.
Key Games for BCS Watchers If you want to keep tabs on the Longhorns' chances to wind up in good shape in one of the big four BCS bowls, the key is that they have to win their final three regular season games.
Assuming that happens, here are some key games to watch for the rest of the season: This Saturday's key games are Michigan at Michigan State, Tennessee at Notre Dame and UCLA at Washington State.
The big ones the following Saturday, Nov. 10, are Texas A&M at Oklahoma and UCLA at Oregon.
On Nov. 17, Texas Tech hosts Oklahoma, Syracuse is at Miami, Michigan is at Wisconsin and Virginia Tech is at Virginia.
On Thanksgiving weekend, Michigan hosts Ohio State, Nebraska goes to Colorado

Part 2 Recruiting Roundup The status of three outstanding players Texas is recruiting is rather murky at this time.
LB Garnet Smith of Arlington Lamar is committed to Texas, but is setting up visits to Oklahoma (he was once committed to the Sooners) and several other schools.
WR Robert Timmons of Flower Mound Marcus committed to Florida and LB Michael Williams of Lindale committed to Oklahoma last week, but then they both decommitted.
Williams attended Texas A&M's game Saturday and plans to come to take an official visit to Texas the December 14 weekend.
* * * * The Longhorns' 16 commitments include nine players who are listed on one or more national top 100 teams.
They are WR Marquis Johnson, 6-3, 200, 4.48, of Centennial High School in Champaign, Illinois; DE Chase Pittman, 6-5, 263, 4.7, of Shreveport Evangel; LB Garnet Smith, 6-3, 221, 4.54, of Arlington Lamar, DTs Sonny Davis, 6-1, 320, 5.0, of Gulf Coast JC in Mississippi and formerly of Austin Lanier, Earl Anderson, 6-4, 270, 4.8, of San Marcos, Lyle Sendlein, 6-4, 260, 4.8, of Scottsdale Chaparral, the two-time defending Class 4A champion in Arizona; OLs Brett Valdez, 6-4, 310, 5.1, of Brownwood and Neale Tweedie, 6-5, 260, 4.9, of Allen; and TE David Thomas, 6-3, 210, 4.6, of Wolfforth Frenship.
Davis made all of the top national lists last year.
However, he injured a knee and has undergone surgery, and his coach at Gulf Coast JC says he has a lot of academic ground to cover to graduate.
The other Longhorn pledges are DT Tully Janszen, 6-4, 255, 4.78, of Keller; LBs Brian Robison, 6-3, 245, 4.6, of Splendora and Marcus Myers, 6-3, 220, 4.5, of Pflugerville Connally; WR Dustin Miksch, 6-0, 165, 4.4, of Round Rock Westwood; QB Billy Don Malone, 6-2 1/2, 185, 4.7, of Paris North Lamar; DB Matt Melton, 5-11, 190, 4.43 of Tyler, and RB/Ath Clint Haney, 5-11, 190, 4.27 of Smithson Valley.
* * * * The Longhorns will give about 10 to 12 more scholarships and I think most of them will be awarded to members of a 20-player group that includes QB Vincent Young of Houston Madison, RBs Albert Hardy of Galena Park and Selvin Young of Houston Jersey Village, WRs Timmons, Biren Ealy of Cypress Falls and Anthony Wright of Klein Forest, TE Eric Winston of Midland Lee, OLs Justin Blalock of Plano East and Tony Ugoh of Spring Westfield, DEs Bryan Pickryl of Jenks, Okla., Larry Dibbles of Lancaster and Travis Leitko of The Woodlands, DTs Rodrique Wright of Alief Hastings, Marco Martin of Mesquite and Kasey Studdard of Highlands Ranch, Colo., LBs Aaron Harris of North Mesquite and Lindale's Williams, and DBs Edorian McCullough of North Garland, Brodney Pool of Houston Westbury and Ricky Wilson of Port Arthur Lincoln.
If the Longhorns finish strong, they have a very good chance to get the four top players on my 25-man "difference-maker" list.
They already have No.
4 in Earl Anderson and they have very good shots at No.
1 Wright, No.
2 Young and No.
3 Dibbles.
If Pikryl lived in Texas, he would be in my top 5, and he says Texas is the leader right now.
He took his official visit the weekend of the Colorado game.
The Longhorns might take a kicker if they find one who is consistent at kicking off into the end zone.
Trey DeCarlo at Carrollton Creekview is the best I've seen this year at booting them deep.
College kickers start five yards farther back but DeCarlo's kicks usually carry out of the end zone.
* * * * INTERESTING RECRUITING TIDBIT: The Longhorns lost their mystique for many years, but there are a few signs they are getting it back.
Consider this item in last Friday's Chicago Tribune about UT pledge Marquis Johnson, a top 50 national recruit from Champaign Cen-tennial,under a brief column entitled "8 Players to watch: "Anytime Texas comes to Illinois to recruit a player, you know he's something special."

(or E-Mail or mailing address) Game Quotes .
.
"We were able to spread the field today because (tight end) Bo Scaife made some great catches and that opened things up.
I think Bo gives us the ability to stretch the field, even when the ball doesn't come to him, because the defense has to be aware of where he is at all times.
(Quarterback) Chris (Simms) did a great job looking off on his big catch just before the half."
- Texas offensive coordinator Greg Davis * * * * "This was a great team win for us.
The offense did a great job of hanging on the ball and running the clock, and the defense did a good job of getting some three-and-outs.
That's the way it's supposed to work when you draw it up.
I give a lot of credit to (CB) Quentin Jammer and (nickel back) Dakarai Pearson for shutting down their big-play receivers.
Jammer held (WR) Justin Gage to two catches and Dak really did a good job on their tight end after we decided to give him the primary coverage on him."
- UT defensive coordinator Carl Reese * * * * "I don't think I was running any harder in the fourth quarter.
I think our offensive line just wore them down a little.
Coach Brown and coach Davis told me I needed to take charge in the fourth quarter and I just tried to keep running and pounding as hard as I could.
It feels good to be part of the record book."
- UT freshman RB Cedric Benson, talking about his game and the fact that he is the first true freshman to rush for 100 yards in three straight games at Texas * * * * "I was getting real clean releases.
I used my speed to my advantage.
I was getting single coverage because they were worrying about our running game and our wide receivers.
They were just sitting back waiting for me to come to them."
- Longhorn TE Bo Scaife, who caught five passes for 73 yards, including ones for 27 and 28 yards that set up first-half touchdowns * * * * "We won and Oklahoma lost, Virginia Tech lost and Stanford is ahead of UCLA (Stanford won).
That's what I call a good day."
- UT quarterback Chris Simms * * * * "When I heard the Oklahoma score, I was a little happy.
Then I heard the Virginia Tech score and I was a little happier, then the UCLA-Stanford game came as quite a surprise.
That's three teams in the top five of the BCS."
- Longhorn wide receiver Roy Williams * * * * "He's a really good cornerback.
He covered me as well as anybody I've seen this year."
- Missouri wide receiver Justin Gage, talking about UT cornerback Quentin Jammer, who held him to a season low two catches for 14 yards Texas-Missouri Statistics

Real Time Traders, Morrow Power wants to take their unit to the market to get some run time before they begin selling Firm energy.
So I'd like the Real Time group to sell the unit at the best price in the hourly market.
I've already bought gas for Friday and Saturday operations.
I expect Sunday to be weak to not run the unit on Sunday.
I would expect to be back in the market on Monday.
To sell the unit buy a BPA wheel using the accounts on the scheduling sheet.
The variable price at the bottom is actual breakeven price.
To start the unit call PGE at the control room number and give them an hour to get the unit online before you sell.
It takes 46 minutes to get the unit from cold start to full load and online.
Also, I've bought reserves from BPA to make these schedules firm for the hour.
I'll be out this afternoon and tomorrow and Stan will be standing in for me.
I'll be available on my cell phone for any questions.

David, I don't know if you are the right person to speak with; however, I am looking for detail to explain the substantial increase in insurance related cost allocations to ENA for 2001.
We have been given allocation projections that increase our expense from $3.9M to $8.0M.
I would like to know how this was determined and the nature of these costs (ie) what assets/positions.
If you are not the right person, I apologize for the intrusion and could you please pass this on to the right spot.

| 2001 Plan |
Guys, attached you will find a final cut on the ENA 2001 expense budget.
Please review and make any adjustments to your existing plan that are appropriate to hit the net ENA target.
In order to stay flat year on year, I split the remaining positive variance equally across the groups.
As we had discussed earlier, these costs will not be allocated to the business units and will be tracked on the ENA income statement below the line and the accountability managed by each of you.
All outside variable costs, specifically related to specific deals, will be charged to the business units eg) outside legal and tax, outside technical expertise, facility costs, outside research support, incremental back and mid office support for specific asset management deals, specific entertainment, etc.
I look at this cost structure as the minimum capacity charge we need to operate our business and evaluate/manage our risks.
Wes, can you please finalize the one page plan (expenses and headcount) for each group with these changes.

Guys, I would like you to consider the following people to provide the basis of your producer marketing team.
They are being re-deployed out of the upstream services group and have significant experience and relationships in the producer services market segment.
They can provide mid-market coverage, producer outsourcing, well-head purchases, etc.
As per our previous discussion, these folks will be your producer team and will provide all ENA's products to the segment.
Please keep this confidential - but please speak with Jean Mrha.
The names include: Linda Roberts - director - lead the central region; Mary Jo Johnson - manager - central region (wait until post HPL sale); Jill Zivley - director - lead the east region; Gary Bryan - director - east region; Jennifer Martinez - manager - east region; Bill Brogan - manager - east region; Kreg Hall - analyst - east region; Brian Riley - director - east region (wait until post HPL sale).
Both Brian and Mary Jo are inside HPL and if sold would interview with the buyer first and then would be available for ENA - lets wait on these folks until post sale.
Lets make a strong effort to accomodate these folks given their experience and availability.

Rob, independent of dotted/solid lines, you already have the primary and complete responsibility to manage the office and the business.
At the risk of being bold, I think the undercurrent of your note and your discussions with Haedicke over the last couple of days is a matter of absolute control.
Ownership and passion are important characteristics of our best commercial people but so is fostering a diversity of opinions and ideas.
With the back and mid office, the current Enron model is based upon scale and standardization which generates tremendous operating leverage.
Further, it helps us manage risk and is a board mandated control issue.
In the long-run, it is actually less costly (ie) systems that don't work together, less transferable human capital, un-managed legal risks, etc.
A lot of your points are very valid and Haedicke has never and never will get in the way of managing commercial business; however, Mark, Wes, Sally, Beth et al have a mandate to provide a flexible, scalable but standardized delivery mechanism, that manages our risk across the broad empire.
Don't quit protecting the business and your people; however, please help accomplish some of these goals as well.
In short, I would like to keep the reporting structures the same.
Lets take the earliest opporunity to discuss this.

Wow, if Haug spent more time making money than created bull.... in the company we would be a $100 stock.
On a different note, I was wondering if someone in your shop could map the current A&A process from planning for on-campus recruitment to manager promotion for the typical associate including timeline.
This process mapping should be very detailed to give us the greatest insight.
I think radical change is not the answer.
The answer lies in a combination of a) slight changes in process; b) increasing participation/ownership at key points in the process by certain business units and people; and c) a credible key business spokesman or spokespersons co-opting the other units where necessary and providing the commercial leadership and representation for the program internally.
Overall this is a commercial program that needs to meet commercial objectives - the closer to the front the better.
The goals of any restructuring are: a) eliminate the perception that the program is not receptive to the business units needs or any bu's perception that they lack ownership for the program; b) increase the quality of the recruits that are brought in and retained; c) ensure we have the best people in the organization recruiting, selling and interviewing; d) ensure that we have the best commercial training program that firmly grounds the associate in the "Enron technology" which include skills in market understanding, structuring, finance, logistics and risk; e) ensure the business units have the ability to identify the outstanding talent early and give those people the responsibility necessary to move them up the curve quickly (ie) quickly identify the Whalley/Lavorato's in the program and, on the flip side, quickly deal with clear non-performance issues; f) review the effectiveness of the current PRC process as a development, retention and performance tool; g) incorporate mid-year flexibility, internet recruiting techniques, non-traditional sources of talent and h) increase cost effectiveness.
The solutions may include mandated participation by certain business units, people and teams, business tracks, etc.
I think a thorough process mapping/tracking can identify (or help me see) the key spots for change/modification/ownership that reach these goals with the least amount of wholesale change for the sake of change.
I think we need to get back to Jeff not next week but the following week with a strawman.
Let me know your thoughts.

Chris, I can assure you that I was not part of the "organization".
Got the books - going throough now and I will get back to you.
Keep Avista's feet to the fire.
speak with you soon.

Guys, as part of the new A&A program being rolled out by the ENE Office of the Chair, a new Associate and Analyst PRC is being set up.
I have nominated you as the six people from ENA to be on this PRC.
You will represent ENA's A&A's and participate in the evaluation and ranking across the entire company.
This is a very important function - please represent us well.
Regards
| Associate & Analyst PRC |
Jeff, as per our discussion, this would be a great opportunity for you to spend some time with and instill your vision for Enron to the leaders of the ENA organization.
I have attached a preliminary agenda which has you speaking to the group right after dinner the night of December 14th.
You have no time constraint on the length of your talk (ie) whatever you find find appropriate in order to get your message across.
I though it might be interesting for you to give your vision of Enron's 2001 goals, objectives and strategy.
As well, a brief business overview of EES, EBS and Networks may be valuable in building connections.

Guys, attached you will find the updated orig plan for Q4.
Trading income is slim pickings so far ..... we need some key deals of all sizes to close in the fourth quarter from your organizations.
Thanks

Guys, I spoke with Mark this morning.
He is very supportive of the structure and idea.
I had indicated that he would continue to run the producer services business in the West but would also be part of the overall team as we plot out strategy in the West.
He wants to stay in Denver which I think we should be able to accomodate as long as his group stays integrated into the overall team.
I had indicated that we would consolidate market making into Houston and Paul Lucci could decide if he wants to continue trading or not - if so he needs to move to Houston.
Phillip/Barry, go ahead and start working with Mark as you develop your plans going forward.
I will be speaking to Stephanie Miller this week and will give the green light with her shortly.
Regards
| Denver |
Barry, I have not spoken to Whitt yet - working on this week.
I would suggest that you will need to get a few bright managers/associates to manage the mid-market and a couple of more experienced originators (internal or external?)
to complement.
I would start thinking about how to get that done.
I would call Oxley for help if needed.

Mark, I am not completely sure what the other groups want to do; however, assuming a fixed amount of the "internal" legal costs are fairly represented by this allocation as ENA's "capacity" charge, you are correct.
This number will be in the P/L under your name.
The "outside" legal costs should be tracked and controlled and carried at the business unit (by deal) level.
I need an estimate of the quarterly "capacity charge" for ENA and an estimate of outside legal costs by business unit.
Regards
| 2001 Allocations |
Guys, notes from the morning meeting.
Please review and comment.
Specific action items: a) i)further calculation of ENA/Non- ENA capacity charges, ii) estimation of outside legal and iii) formulation of charge out/feedback process to the business units; b) need budget/review for competitive analysis, technical and restructuring.

Barbara, short of me coming up with the money, it will be next to impossible to get this out of either the trading or origination group.
As a significant contributor to the PAC and Enron's other adventures, I don't have the room.
Personally, I also have difficulty making campaign contributions so closely linked to specific legislation or policy.
This may not be the answer you want; however, I am all ears if you have any ideas on raising these funds.

Guys, attached you will find the final plan to meet our origination targets for Q4 consistent with our discussions.
It is important that we hit our numbers in order for Enron to meet its targets for the year.

Guys, Joe Sutton had passed down an opportunity that probably fits your capabilities better than ours.
In a nutshell, a consultant on retainer by Mass.
General Hospital in Boston, part of the Healthcare Partners system, is desiring a steam and electric contract.
The steam load could be as high as 500,000 pd of steam and 22 MW of power.
I think they are very open to an energy partner to manage all their needs perhaps including the six or seven other hospitals that HP controls in the nation.
The consultants name is Joe Petrowski (203)451-9747.
I spoke to him yesterday afternoon and promised that one of you would be in contact.
Joe is a big fan of Enron's and could see the logic of a more robust product like the full energy outsourcing versus just a steam agreement.
It may be a good lead into the health care segment.
Regards
| Mass. General |
Ken, I have taken a look at the material you had sent me on the ARC Northern Gas Pipeline Route.
Ultimately, I believe that ARC is looking for certain strategic investors to provide founding capital to fund the development of this proposal.
To the extent that this is a open access non-discriminatory pipe, ENA's opportunity lies in being a shipper to capitalize on basis markets or customer transactions that provide attractive risk reward characteristics.
Other than understanding the potential flows and costs, there is probably not much we need to do today given a 2006 start from an ENA point of view.
The ARC consortium needs to fund approximately $30M to develop this project.
The US and Canadian aboriginal groups will receive 33% ownership for $10M.
the remaining $20M and 67% will be funded by a group of producers, pipelines, venture capital and the "organizing group" (40%!!).
Stan Horton, if he believes this is a commercial possibility, may want to provide a few million of founding capital to the venture in order to preserve him the option to participate as an equity holder or operator if this becomes a reality.
Regards

Guys, I would like your opinion on this potential transaction.
This has been sold through GE for some time and it is reasonably likely that if we employed some additional resources that this could be completed over the next quarter or so.
Ultimately, Rodney and his team would like to see EES take control of the deal with EIM folks staying involved to ensure continuity and to assist to closure.
Assuming that the sales process is largely completed, I see some value for Enron to take this deal including: a) $200 M in TCV for 2000; b) $3 to $5 M in value; c) GE on our EES resume of companies which will help in future sales to the large industrial customers; and d) provides an "in" to the GE family of companies which could result in significant up-sell capability in the future if we provide a quality product.

Guys, we have the following un-allocated turbines (approximately $100M in nominal value): a) 2 power barges - Brian - $13M b) 2 ABB 11N1 - Rob- $35M c) 1 501D5A - Janet/Chris - $25M d) 1 7EA - Janet/Chris- $20M All other turbines appear to be allocated to high probability projects.
Could you please provide me your plan with these units.
I would like to flatten out our book (ie) ensure there are good homes for or divest of all our existing turbines before we look at purchasing additional units for 2002.
Regards
| Un-allocated Turbines |
Janet, what is the status of this turbine - would we be able to turn it back in exchange for foregoing on the ld's?
Or do we want this turbine?

Guys, what is this!!!!
No - I think that Ahlstrom should take this risk or it should be reflected in a price reduction.
I vote not to do the deal otherwise.

Guys, please mark your calendars for the 2000 ENA Management Offsite scheduled for December 14th and 15th at the Venetian in Las Vegas.
We envision people flying in the afternoon/evening of December 13th with the offsite being held on December 14th and 15th.
Departure would occur the morning of December 16th.
It is important that everyone stays for the entire period including Friday night.
Jeff Skilling and Greg Whalley have taken time out their schedule to speak to us on Thursday and Friday night about Enron Corps strategy and our eCommerce/Networks strategy respectively.
A complete agenda will follow shortly.
Dorie Hitchcock will manage all the logistics.

Guys, attached you will find a list of key transactions identified in the Hot List for each business unit.
The performance of your group is key to making our targets for Q4 and to meet budgeted origination performance for the year.
Independent of specific budgets for the groups, the origination organization needs to generate $250M for Q4.
Ultimately, a strong performance in Q4 by the origination organization will help build momentum into the year-end PRC.
I will be setting up time with each of you to go through your numbers and specifics on the deals.
Regards
| Q4 Plan |
Eric, like the United Way, our goal should be 100%participation.
In order to reach that goal, we need the reporting mechanisms to determine which groups and managers have very low participation rates.
I strongly believe that ENA's numbers would be better if we had north of 80% participation (ie) the "unhappy" folks are more likely to input info than the "happy" folks.

Janet, he can approve but can't sign as a director.
You need to continue to manage.
This would take a board resolution to change (ie) he can not bind the company as a director.
