I am a total procrastinator.
We are leaving for snowy lands this weekend.
and as I have never been to Colorado before, it appears that I do not appreciate how cold it is there.
I am looking to borrow appropriate cold weather clothing, women's size 8 or 10, if anyone is willing.
Please let me know ASAP.
Call me at 713-807-7910.

Many of you have inquired about January reimbursements to 2002 flexible spending accounts.
Aon Consulting, Enron's flexible spending account administrator, has experienced some processing delays.
Aon has encountered difficulty in retrieving spending account deduction information, and some deductions are not appearing in Aon's records.
Enron Benefits is working with our IT group to help Aon resolve this issue.
Also, unprecedented activity at the end of 2001 flooded Aon with year-end claims.
Aon has assured us that 2001 reimbursements are now up-to-date, and that they began processing 2002 reimbursements on Monday, February 4.
Questions regarding flexible spending accounts can be directed to georgia.fogo@enron.com.

We have a great deal of work underway with our continuing operations, bankruptcy related issues, managing asset sales transitions and major operating environment issues.
While I have great confidence in our ability to overcome challenges, we will need to simultaneously direct our attention on a number of key areas to be successful.
In light of the above, I have asked Danny McCarty to take on a new role as managing director of special projects for Enron Global Services (EGS).
Danny's responsibilities will include a number of complex bankruptcy related activities, the workout of certain troubled assets and optimizing the value of selected businesses.
Until the question of our right to repurchase Northern Natural Gas is resolved, it is better to minimize organizational changes.
Consequently, I do not plan to replace Danny as managing director and chief commercial officer of Enron Transportation Services (ETS) at this time.
Steve Harris, Bob Hayes, Rob Kilmer, Shelley Corman and the business development efforts will report directly to me.
I truly appreciate Danny's willingness to take on this responsibility.
His involvement should ensure that we dedicate the necessary attention to key business issues, while allowing Jim Hughes and me to focus on the priorities of a reorganization plan and our day-to-day operations.
As always, thank you for your continued dedication and support.

Hi guys.
I'm working on the February newsletter and would like to include a tiny biography about our new officers.
About you, and about your ties to the neighborhood, or anything else you would like to include, and which space permits.
For instance, what you do for a living, who you live with, kids, what street you live on, when you moved here, why you choose this 'hood, pets, hobbies, etc.
Doin't worry - we won't be too revealing...There will probably be only a sentence or two per person.
But we think it will make people feel more like they are acquainted with the officers if we can print a little bit about them.
Please erase the EMCA address in the "To:" box, and send your response directly to me at theJulles@msn.com AND
| *EMCA* To EMCA new officers - Martha & Pat, William V-B, Jamie Evans... |
Due to the President's Day Holiday on next Monday, February 18, Steve will hold his staff meeting on Tuesday, February 19, same time, same location.

Your contributions to the discussions are crucial and deserve to be heard by all concerned.
Achieving this objective is why we ask your cooperation.
Because our attendee list has grown significantly in the past few months, arrangements have been made with facilities to have a standing order of chairs available for your convenience.
Please call if you have any concerns or questions.

Transaction Support Accounting met with Jack Boatman and Rachel Cady yesterday to discuss their notification below as related to a tie-in for the Phase V project.
: "On March 1st and 2nd our Phase V crew will be working the 24" and 36" mainline to tie-in the Gulf South Mobile Bay interconnect.
This work will require that Transco Citronelle to be partially shut-in on March 1st and completely shut-in on the 2nd.
In order to maintain delivery pressures in the Market Area during this work we will have to borrow(defer exchange) gas up to 220,000/day from Bay Gas Storage at an estimated cost of about $80,000 to $100,000.
This cost to complete the tie-in is quite unique since we are only paying to borrow the gas and we wanted to notify you about this cost so you can start thinking about how to include it in the work order for the Phase V tie-in."
Meeting Conclusion: The "borrowed gas" if used will be a part of the OBA at the interconnect and will be repaid within the month.
- No Gas Acctg.
Issues or follow-up items.
Jack indicated they previously discussed with Rate Dept.
The $80,000-$100,000 cost estimate is the fee to be paid to Bay Gas to be ready to perform during the const.
period.
To Do's: John Cobb to review construction costs treatment for this fee with Jim Saunders.
(Subject to Jim's approval this fee may be capitalized as an indirect cost of the project since it is incurred due to the required construction tie-in and is only for the construction period.)
Jack Boatman to contact Jim Alexander relative to this additional Phase V costs.
Separate discussion required to discuss the purchases of linepack and purge gas.

Though the electronic copy is not yet available, we have faxed out a hard copy of FERC's "Order on Rehearing" issued today in RM01-9, "Reporting of Natural Gas Sales to the California Market."
All requests for rehearing and clarification have been denied, as the requirement "is in the public interest...[and further] is necessary for the Commission to advise Congress as to whether it should change the existing regulatory framework..." Some major points are: (1) Arguments that FERC cannot require the info.
from non-jurisdictional entities is disputed by citation to the NGA and FPA, allowing FERC to collect any information in order to advise Congress on a matter of urgent concern.
The Commission also cites the FPA's authorization to investigate electricity issues, including the cost of generation (of which natural gas is a key factor).
(2) In response to Enron's arguments, the order states the following: Enron argues that the data collection should be undertaken on an as-needed basis, not regularly; FERC simply denies this.
Enron argues that the burden of reporting was underestimated; FERC says this may be true but is no reason to rescind the requirement.
Enron argues that the reporting is not based on the business method utilized by the company and that it does not have the information on a daily pricing and volume basis (matched to physical volumes); FERC answers that data should be submitted "in a manner consistent with the way the particular gas seller does business."
Examples are given in the text of the FERC order.
If Enron is contending it should only file aggregate information, FERC finds this option unacceptable.
Only Enron asked for an extension for the filing deadline, from 30 days to 45 days after the close of each month; FERC denies this request as unnecessary.
(3) CPUC request for access to all information filed is denied.
Sensitive price data will be exempt from public disclosure (with no exceptions) so that all parties must comply.
The order also states, "Moreover, the purpose in seeking the information is to enable the Commission to understand the operation of the market for gas sales into California, not to investigate the conduct of particular participants in that market."

Our UNCF Walk-a-thon was a success!
Over 300 walkers signed up to walk with the Enron team and more than 150 walkers came out in the storming rain to walk for education.
Over $20,000 in pledges has been collected as of today.
Great job team!
Now it's time to finalize collections.
Please email me your team captain worksheet and turn in collected pledges by 5 p.m. tomorrow (10/11).
The worksheets will be used to report pledges and collections, report walkers recruited, account for t-shirts, identify UNCF gifts to be awarded, identify walkers who qualify for the Special $100 drawing and complete Enron 2001 Matching.
We will also copy and paste the worksheets to create a walker master list.
Therefore, it is important that your worksheet columns are in the same order as the attached worksheet.
Leave any walker on your worksheet that received an Enron or UNCF t-shirt, even if the potential walker did not turn in the $30 minimum.
T-shirts that you received for these walkers must be turned in to me because UNCF requires a sponsor form with a minimum $30 contribution for each t-shirt awarded.
Feel free to call me (ext.
36951) if you have any questions.
I would like to have all pledges collected by Monday, October 15th so that we can pick up our prizes from the UNCF office.
NOTE: I have moved to EB4260.
It's hard to find, so call me and I will meet you in the elevator area on the 42nd floor.

For weeks we've all wondered about that unsightly dirt pile with rebar sticking up and whether the City would actually do something about it.
Well, I mentioned it last Thursday to Rick Ehrlich, the builder who is doing that project between Bomar and Peden (and who also did that terrific renovation of Las Brisas at Stanford and Fairview).
The next day he had his crew remove it.
Nice gesture from a local builder and neighbor.

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.

Be sure to read the "Neartown Notebook" article on page 10 of This Week section of today's Chronicle.
This is very important for all of us who would like to preserve both the value and the ambiance of our blocks.
It tells about a proposal by Neartown to enable property owners on a block-by-block basis to apply for adherence to existing lot sizes (50 x 100 in most cases).
As it is, when a developer buys a lot in the middle of a block, he can cut up the lot into as many as three small lots (as many as four on corners) and build out to the property line in some cases.
This, of course, makes it hard to sell the other houses on that block for anything but teardowns--very bad news if you plan to make improvements to your home or even keep it up.

As requested at the meeting, the last couple years of history of our ethane content has been analyzed.
The data provided by Denis Alters were for four locations: Perry from the West Leg side, Perry from the old or East Leg Side, Brooker (East Leg) and West Palm Beach.
The table below shows the percent of the time the ethane content was above a given percentage at each of the locations.
For example, at Brooker, the ethane content was greater than ( > ) 3% about 25% of the time.
On the East leg, the ethane content has been greater than 2% all of the time.
On the West Leg side, it has been over 2% about 44% of the time, over 3% about 17% and almost never over 4%.
Basically, the West Leg runs about 1.5 to around 2% when all the Destin and Mobile Bay processing is operating.
Even last winter, when running processing plants was not economical, the West Leg gas exceeded 4% only one day.
If you look at the plot below (I hope it comes thru), you can see that thru July of this year, the West Leg ethane content had not returned to the levels seen prior to the gas price spike last year.
This is consistent with the Btu analyses on Mobile Bay.
Apparently they have the ability to reduce the level of ethane removal when iethane is more valuable as pipeline gas than as a chemical feedstock and are therefore have been leaving more in the gas this year than last.

Howdy - The early morning news on Channel 11 reported the arrest of someone the cops called "The Montrose Burglar".
They said he may be responsible for as many as ten armed robberies and is being charged with three, and that armed with a pistol, he would hold up people leaving bars and clubs late at night.
The mug shot showed a middle aged black guy, balding.
He doesn't sound like either the Fargo Carjacker or the Fairview Minivan Mugger but maybe, knock on wood, this arrest will put a liitle dent in the crime stats.

This is probably not anything new to some of you, but I contacted the Enron Benefits Service Center today, again, and made contact with someone almost immediately (713-332-7979).
I asked about the status of retiree health insurance benefits.
The contact person indicated that all retiree health insurance was still in force and the Service Center had not received any new information about health insurance benefits for retirees.
If you have heard anything new or different, please let me know.
The "Frequently Asked Questions" web site (www.enron.com/corp/alumni/faq.html) seems to be primarily pertaining to employees who have been a party to the layoffs.
There was some mention of COBRA insurance being available after December 31st, which seems, at this time, to pertain to employees involved in the layoffs.
I have submitted a question pertaining to retirees.
There are some retirees involved with the Enron Deferred Compensation plan, for which payments have now been stopped.
Forms are being mailed by Enron to those with unpaid Deferred Comp.
Such forms are to be used for filing as "Unsecured Creditors."
Some groups have been formed to contend with this particular situation.

I've made a tentative reservation on Continental to leave Thursday, Dec. 20, at 5:50 pm, stop in Cleveland (no change) and arrive in Houston at 10:33 pm.
Return (first class!)
on Sunday, Dec. 30, at 10:50 am, change in Cleveland, and arrive Manchester at 5:03 pm.
How about making a reservation to fly back with me (you can always cancel) and return whenever.
It cheers me just to know that you'd even consider this.
You need the break and I could use the company!!
I know you'd love Deb (friend/tenant) and she you, and ditto for Gracie.
Let me know your thoughts.

In an effort to get cash in the door for TW and to maximize revenue opportunity for TW in the coming year, I think we should look at getting two proposals on file with the FERC as soon as possible.
One would be the OBA filing we have been discussing (and trying to support with historical data) to get automatic cash-out on OBA's in "constrained" areas on TW.
Second would be to look at filing for scheduling by price at alternate FT points.
This may be the time (the market to California is not so hot) to try to implement this.
I know we will have to look hard at the cost of the system modifications required and whether we can justify them.
Glen is already scheduling a meeting next week for further discussion of the OBA tariff filing.
Could we discuss scheduling alternate FT by price at the same meeting?

At the December 11th CPUC meeting the Commission approved the Transwestern supported Comprehensive Settlement with modifications.
This decision will unbundle the SoCal's backbone transmission and storage systems, provide shippers access to receipt points at the border and create a secondary market.
These changes will be phased in during 2002.

Greetings!
I've joined the group again... You may have seen that 611 Peden has finally been torn down and is slated to be redeveloped as two 3-story townhomes.
As the result of the prevailing building line application for Peden, the new houses will be set back 21' as with other properties on the block.

A number of you have had a lot of concern about Deferred Compensation that Enron has ceased to pay as a result of the bankruptcy.
Maybe we have some good news -- there is a "rumor" out today, in the event you have not heard, from a reliable source, that the Deferred Compensation creditors have moved up from 4th place to a little higher because of the amount of money involved.
I have heard that Mike Moran has been placed on the "Creditors Committee."
I believe that Mike Moran and Dan Ryser were working together.
Part of the rumor indicates that the largest creditors -- primarily the banks -- may buy out the Deferred Compensation creditors "to avoid having to deal with them."
That is about all that I have heard at this time, except that the "buyout" may not be 100%.

California: I99-07-003 SoCalGas Unbundling.
On December 17, 2001, the CPUC published the SoCalGas unbundling order issued last week.
Significantly, the Commission directed SoCal to include an additional 375mm/d of new backbone capacity in the open season process.
This capacity includes 50mm/d of receipt point capacity at Needles.
Marketing will contact SoCal regarding the inclusion of this RP capacity as Primary Access Rights from Transwestern.
Provided supporting references/data for this position in the Systems Adequacy proceeding and original Comprehensive Settlement document.
SoCal was directed to file an Advice Letter to establish tariff revisions and a schedule for implementation within 15 business days of the effective date which is December 11, 2001.
Taking into consideration two holidays, this makes their filing due January 3, 2002.
Comments and/or protests of the Advice Letter will be due 20 days later (Jan. 23, 2001).

Neighbors, yesterday four cars were vandalized at Bomar St.
The glass windows were shatered.
My cousin from Michigan was visiting me.
The window behind the driver's seat was broken.
The police was at Bomar and Grant with the same problem.
I am sick and tired of this abuse.
And yesterday I was also ashamed.
It's not only the broken glass is all the secondary effects that this kind of incidents cause to the victim.
And the perpetrators are probably laughing at all of us.
Because for them is probably a joke.
I am sorry of giving all of you this news in this beautiful day but we need to be aware.
Happy Holidays.
Feliz Navidad.

Merry Christmas Teb, I hope you are having one as good as possible.
I'll see you this week-end when we bring Alanna back up for school.
Not long ago I was telling you about rediscovering a couple of old Corpus Bands through an internet site calle E-Music.com, that I download free albums(as many as I want) but at the monent I couldn't remember their names.
Well I looked them back up and I'm sure you would remember them.
They are Zakary Thaks and The Bad Seeds.
In fact they made a album together called "Texas Shoot Out" which was a sort of battle of the Corpus Christi bands.
The following are Bios of the bands from another web site called The Artist Direct Network.
This web site has almost an unbelievable amount of info on every group, singer, song, or album in the History of All Modern Music.
What ever you want to know it will tell you.
One of the best garage bands of the '60s, and one of the best teenage rock groups of all time, Zakary Thaks released a half-dozen regionally distributed singles in 1966 and 1967; some were hits in their hometown of Corpus Christi, TX, but none were heard elsewhere until they achieved renown among '60s collectors.
Heavily indebted (as were so many bands) to R&B-influenced British heavyweights like the Stones, the Kinks, and the Yardbirds, the group added a thick dollop of Texas raunch to their fuzzy, distorted guitars and hell-bent energy.
Most importantly, they were first-rate songwriters, with the breakneck "Bad Girl" (later compiled on Pebbles, Vol.
2), "Won't Come Back," the smoking "Face to Face," "Can't You Hear Your Daddy's Footsteps," and the folk-rock/Merseybeat hybrid "Please" ranking among the top echelon of American '60s garage rock.
Their 1967 singles found the group moving into psychedelic territory; some songs betrayed a Moby Grape influence, and some good melodic numbers were diluted by poppy arrangements that recalled the Buckinghams and Grass Roots.
Lead singer Chris Gerniottis, only 15 when Zakary Thaks began making records, joined another interesting Corpus Christi garage/psychedelic group, the Liberty Bell.
~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide The Bad Seeds were the first rock group of note to come out of Corpus Christi, Texas, itself a hotbed of garage-rock activity during the middle/late 1960s.
They started when guitarist/singer Mike Taylor and bassist Herb Edgeington, then member of a local band called the Four Winds, met up with lead guitarist Rod Prince and drummer Robert Donahoe, who had been playing in a rival band called the Titans until its demise.
Prince wanted to form a new group, and he, Taylor and Edgeington became the core of the Bad Seeds, who were signed to the local J-Beck label in 1966.
They stayed together long enough to record three singles during 1966, of which two, "A Taste of the Same"/"I'm a King Bee" and "All Night Long"/"Sick and Tired," are unabashed classics of blues-based garage-punk, three of them originals by Taylor (who wrote most of their originals) or Prince.
Even their normally maligned second single, "Zilch Part 1"/"Zilch Part 2," has some worth as a pretty hot pair of throwaway tracks.
The band's sound was the raunchy Rolling Stones-influenced garage-punk typical of Texas rock groups in the mid-'60s.
Following the breakup of the group after the summer of 1966, Mike Taylor became a writer and producer for the the Zakary Thaks, another Corpus Christi-based band (who were signed to J-Beck after being spotted playing on a bill with the Bad Seeds), and also recorded singles in a folk-like mode as The Fabulous Michael.
Rod Prince went on to become a key member of the legendary band Bubble Puppy, who were signed to Leland Rogers' International Artists' label, and the post-psychedelic group Demian.

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.

The following item was presented in this week's corporate change control.... Dec. 28 Beginning at 5:00 p.m., the Corporate server team will remove domain controllers CORPHOU-DCARD02 and CORPHOU-DCARD03 from service to be rebuilt.
These are just two of the numerous active domain controllers within the Corp domain.
There should be no disruption of service as user requests should automatically be redirected to an active domain controller.
Once these servers are rebuilt, they will be returned to the Corp domain.
Dec. 31 From 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., the Corporate server team will move ECTHOU-HR1 to the Ardmore data center.
This move will result in a total disruption of service for those HR users whose S:\ drive is mapped to this server.

Zelda, I am sending you 18 boxes of TW files via UPS 3 day ground.
11 boxes are miscellaneous files (marked MISC) originally from Ray Stelly and Rebecca Rangel's offices.
7 boxes are TW files that are slightly more important (marked MORE IMPORTANT).
All these files were sent from Houston to Omaha in approximately 1997.
The "miscellaneous" files have never yielded any useful information.
However, I have used the information in the "more important" files several times.
I will send the active TW files and information next week.
This will include the TW tariffs, Form 2s, Rate Case filings, FERC correspondence and electronic logs.

Chris Snyder with FPU called and asked if the New Smyrna point, poi 16160 on contract 100740 (which is the only delivery point on that contract that they permanently acquired through capacity release) could be made a division.
The point was acquired through a permanent capacity release transaction as a single point.
The problem is that they requested to combine this point into their current dpoa, contract 5002 that has points behind divisions.
The allocation reports he gets do not reflect this point since it is not in a division.
Can we make a point a division just so the reports can "pick up" the point?
Chris also mentioned that he does not want this point in a separate dpoa because he wants to be able to take advantage of the section 11 rights with their other delivery points on their dpoa.
Frazier and Teb, please let me know if we can do this so that we can make the appropriate changes in our system.

Hi Guys, I have a beautiful, 8'+ weeping ficus that has grown way too large for my place.
These are generally house plants, but I have kept it out in the shade in the yard, and it has veritably thrived on neglect.
It put two roots out of its pot down into the ground during the summer, and these were cut when I brought the plant in during this cold snap.
I don't know if this has hurt it or not.
At any rate, it will need a larger pot.
If anyone wants it, he can have it.
But...
Since I love this plant so much, I may retain rights to recall it, just in case I ever win the lottery and expand into a larger abode.
I also have a 40gallon long aquarium and stand.
I have offered this to someone already, but if he decides he doesn't want it, I will be glad to give it to anyone who wants it.
Please let me know.
I will happily deliver either item.

I spoke with Greg Healy of SoCalGas today regarding the revised offer Transwestern provided to SoCalGas before Christmas.
He said they have questions and requested a conference call early next week so that they can better understand our proposal and go forward.
I have tentatively scheduled the call for Tuesday, January 8, from 3-4 our time.
Greg indicated that it would be business people and their lawyer, Dave Gilmore.
Sharon, pls.
set up a conference bridge number for us.
I was going to call Rick Miles to let him know about the status of our discussions.
He had called me after we sent SoCalGas the revised offer about wanting to know where we were.

This section of the order directs SoCal to outline within their tariff the Comprehensive Settlement Agreement arrangements for allocating stranded costs.
It does not address capacity or open season issues as dictated by the order.
We will investigate the filing with SoCal as to the status of addressing these issues.

In regard to filing comments on EGA's motion to strike the testimony and related materials on embedded cost-based allocation versus the long-run marginal cost methodology for the hearing on Monday, Jan. 7, 2002, it was decided not to file comments, but continue monitoring the proceeding.
By participating Transwestern will continue to have the option of addressing any of the issues raised by other parties.
CPUC Infrastructure Report.
The Commission has issued its report and assessment of the state's gas infrastructure for the three major utilities in California.
Their conclusion is that the natural gas transportation and storage systems are adequate to provide reliable amounts of competitively priced gas to residential, commercial, industrial and electric generation customers.
Therefore they recommend that the Power Authority should not finance any new natural gas projects.

We are currently discussing several potential approaches for a "Phase VII" expansion project.
We have preliminary work underway on several potential scenarios, some of which might involve Gulfstream as an upstream transporter.
As part of these discussions, Gulfstream has inquired about FGT's interest in providing a capacity lease for backhaul service (approximately 20-30 miles - they did not identify the specific market).
My questions are: (1) Backhaul capacity lease with an interstate pipeline - Do you see any problems/issues?
The lease arrangement would be with Guflstream Pipeline.
(2) If this backhaul lease capacity is used by Gulfstream to provide deliveries to an electric generator, would the FP&L Favored Nations Clause be triggered?

At the meeting yesterday, SoCalGas outlined their plan for implementing the unbundling of their backbone system including a proposed timeline which will be filed at the CPUC on Jan. 17, 2002.
Lad Lorenz state that the proposal is "not cast in concrete" and invited comments at the meeting as well as in response to the filing.
However as you might expect, when some customers expressed their concern with the timeline being too short, SoCal made no offer to push some of the dates out into the future and stuck with their proposal.
All of the proposed dates are their best estimate for timing as variables such as the system requirements may cause delays and rescheduling of some portions of the implementation plan.
Key items and dates are as follows: Jan. 17 SoCalGas files its proposed Implementation Plan and timeline.
Feb. 14 Meeting with CPUC Energy Staff and Interested Parties.
Tariff Workshop.
Feb. 22 SoCalGas files tariffs including a definition of Annual Average Usage for existing end-use customers.
This definition is important as it determines their capacity rights in the Open Season.
Mar.
15 50 mmcf/d of capacity at North Needles to be placed into service.
May 6 Distribution of informational packages on Backbone Receipt Point Rights to customers.
May 29 Begin Phase I of the Open Season.
June 5 Phase I Open Season ends.
See Slides 55 through 57 for all other Open Season dates.
June 22 SoCal will post awarded receipt point capacity.
July 1 Implementation of unbundling the backbone receipt point services.
Slide 13 Indicates North Needles has 800 mmcf/d of capacity This was described as "primarily Transwestern" Slide 15 The Core backbone receipt point capacity at Needles is set at 313 mmcf/d.
I'm faxing an entire copy of the presentation to Marketing and Regulatory Affairs for distribution and review.
Slides 11-21 describe the Backbone Receipt Services and Slides 50-63 provide the proposed timeline for implementation.

I have a question about the SFTS conversions that were done a while back so that the customer could utilize our capacity release program.
I noticed that The City of Chattahoochee converted their SFTS to FTS-1 and that the temporary acquisitions on their FTS-1 have a gap.
More specifically, they have a release in place for 10/1/02 thru 4/30/03 and the next release begins 10/1/03 thru 4/30/04.
Do the releases have to be consecutive in order for them to retain their conversion to FTS-1?
Because they will not have a release in place for May thru Sept. of 2003 according to their releases.
Is this wrong?
I haven't checked to see if this occurs on any of the other coversions and will if this is an issue.
Please advise.

| SFTS conversions |
Rachel, attached is a spreadsheet with SFTS conversion information as you requested.
I sent Frazier and Teb a note to advise if these customers must have consecutive releases in order to keep their FTS-1 contracts active and am awaiting their feedback.
Please let me know if you want to see this in a different format or with additional information.
Also, I did not fill in the date that the FTS-1 contracts revert back to SFTS because it all depends on whether we leave the contracts open for monthly releases.

Read/Update access to TW's CBS system.
2.
Access to the twadhoc database on the etsadhoc server.
(However, I do still need access to the nngadhoc & etsadhoc databases on the same etsadhoc server.)
3.

(I still need access to non-TW universes.)
My usercode in all cases is "rbianchi".

Hey guys, If you read the January EMCA newsletter, you prolly noticed that there were stories that were amazingly similar to what has been buzzing around on our e-mail-internet site.
Well, I often go to our e-group for information that can be printed in the newsletter, but this month your stories practically were the entire newsletter.
I hope you don't mind that I took this information and wrote it in the newsletter... Actually, for me, the newsletter editor, it was a goldmine, because those are exactly the types of things that make our newsletter newsy and personal.
I have been wanting restaurant and business reviews (Cheryl has been a big help), and I've been meaning to get down to the new little antique store so I could write about it, but haven't made it during business hours.
Your information made it possible to let the neighborhood know about these places.
Thanks guys.
| *EMCA* Thanks to Ben, Hilary, and etc. |
Corporate Charges Tracy Geaccone has suggested (and discussed with Terry West in Corporate Planning) that the pipelines be allowed access to the 2002 Plan once it has been loaded in SAP for the Corporate cost centers that bill us.
The Plan would be recorded by GL account within each of the applicable cost centers.
Corporate prepares a schedule that shows which cost centers bill us, the methodologies used and the amounts billed.
It would be quite an undertaking because of the number of Corporate cost centers involved, but each of the pipelines would be able to derive a FERC breakdown using the Plan, plus the schedule from Corporate.
The main issue would be manpower.
Tracy mentioned the possibility of having one of the associate analysts perform this task, but said that the Plan would not be finalized and loaded until probably the end of November.
Is this an acceptable solution?
Do we need a meeting to discuss this further?
I am still waiting for return phone calls from Enron Networks and Global Finance.
There are just a few Global Finance cost centers that bill us.
However, the method proposed above may also be a solution for Enron Networks billings.
Enron Property and Services Corp.
The mandate that these billings be recorded in individual cost centers rather than at a company level originated with Tracy Geaccone with a promise of cost savings to Stan.
However, Tracy told me that rather than coding to a cost center, she has requested that the coding be to a FAR order.
I told her that would mean multiple FAR orders.
Her thinking is that each cost center already has a FAR order.
I attempted to describe our use of custom variants.
She said that she would work through Bob Chandler.
If we intend to continue using the custom variants, it would mean creating a large number of new FAR orders.
Again, is this an acceptable solution?
Do we need a meeting to discuss this further?

Jeanette brought to my attention that we need to change the name/address under Procedures regarding complaints for TW.
I agree that my name/address should be deleted and Bill Rapp's name/address should be substituted therefor.
Thanks, Maria

To add to the next Newsletter: Julie, My partner and I have not been very visable at any of the local meetings, however we ALWAYS anxiously await the next installment of the newsletter.
We have been extremely busy making the house we bought on Bomar liveable, it was barely that way when we bought it.
We wanted to add to your restaurant review.
Cole's on Waugh is a fairly decent restaurant with an OK menu.
The Garlic soup was a definite hit, and the atmosphere was great.
The wine list is good and the prices were very reasonable.
The entrees need a bit of work, the beef was very "Gamey", the chicken dishes were dry, and the fried shrimp were a bit greasy.
All things aside we have eaten there three times, and deem it worth while.
We have seen the menu and service improve with each visit.
Our hope is that if enough people visit Cole's the menu will improve.
It is in a very convenient location and the owners and staff are very friendly.
Thanks
| *EMCA* An additional Restaurant Review..... Cole's on Waugh |
Teb - could you review the attached affidavit - which is substantially similar to the other 2 that you signed.
The only difference this time is the name of the plaintiffs.
If you could fill in the blanks for me as much as possible.
If not, I'll get them filled tomorrow.
If you're OK with it - I'll have Iris bring down an original for your signature and she'll notarize it.
THANKS!
