Let's ask Jeff Hines(?), our opinion research guy, to put a few short questions together and send it out.
dev37
We may also want to include a link so people can view the commercials again before answering.
dev37
Also, I was talking with Beth Tilney today about our website (and the fact that every business unit now feels free to go do their own thing).
dev37
We thought it would be a good idea to add this topic to the brand conference (perhaps as part of an existing segment).
dev37
Interesting idea, but hard to see any near term benefit.
dev37
I would decline.
dev37
Please forward to Sue Walden and get her ideas.

dev37
Also, I would like you to set up a meeting with me, Cindy Olson, Beth Tilney, Kelly Kimberly, Mark koenig, Rick Causey, and Rick Buy.
dev37
I was thinking the easiest way to get us all together would be to get a room at a restaurant for 6 or 6:30 some evening.
dev37
I have contacted Beth and Cindy already, so they know what it is about, and I will leave messages for the others.
dev37
I just need to check schedules for now.
dev37
Also, I think it would be a good idea to have a get together after work once a month or so for the Public Affairs organization.
dev37
Nothing fancy .

dev37
Cadillac Bar or something similar.

dev37
spouses and significant others invited.
dev37
Talk it over with a couple of people in the group and let me know what you come up with.
dev37
I'm afraide this leaves too much room to manuever.
dev37
Having duties related to setting legislative affairs strategy and developing a plan for contacts on the Hill, will give Cynthia the idea that she can run all aspects of those duties, not just those related specifically to her substantive area.
dev37
I think it is also worth covering the heavy emphasis on teamwork and supporting, rather than directing, others in the organization.

Hey -- you're talking about our future President!
dev37
I am soooo looking forward to my next Biennial Resource Planning proceeding.
dev37
Tim I enjoyed meeting with you too.
dev37
As I mentioned, I thought your answers were thoughtful, well stated, and accurate.
dev37
In our line of work it helps to triangulate using others' insights and I found yours particularly useful.
dev37
I would like your insights.
dev37
Meredith, I'd like yours as well (particularly in light of the messageyou received from Lawson and Jefferson).

calendar -- FYI
dev37
Start with Joe hillings in DC
dev37
FYI
dev37
No, contact Rosalee Fleming (ken's assistant).
dev37
I let her know that you would be preparing the briefing.
dev37
I am interested, but it's probably more important that Jeff Dasovich and Sandi Mccubbin (in our SF office) know, so that they can keep the politicos informed (and keep them from doing something stupid).
dev37
Thanks Enron Energy Services
dev37
Tony Pryor (GPG legal) asked if we have any credentials/tickets left for die hard democrats in the company.
dev37
I know Tony will understand if they are already spoken for, but if we have some left that would go unused, we have a volunteer.
dev37
How's it going?
dev37
Are you partied out yet?
dev37
Jeff Shankman (COO of Enron Global Markets) is interested in going and would like to see the schedule.
dev37
I told him you would send it to him.
dev37
Jeff can also help us get our message across on the problems in California's power markets (Dasovich can fill you in).
dev37
Also John ( Woody) Wodraska, managing director of Azurix is interested in attending.
dev37
Please get in touch with him.
dev37
I haven't heard from Stan yet.
dev37
What about the "show cause" order route?
dev37
Palmisano left a couple of months ago to start his own business.
dev37
Jeff Keeler (in our DC office) is covering John's issues.
dev37
Also, you should contact Ken's assistant, Rosalee Fleming, to see when would be a good time to give ken a briefing and see what else he needs.
dev37
I have told Rosalee that you are preparing the materials for Ken.
dev37
I can hardly believe Peggy Noonan wrote this.
dev37
I'm a sucker for blatant heart string pulling.
dev37
I love it.
dev37
I'm misty.
dev37
Did you see Peggy Noonan's article?
dev37
Shapiro and I are getting misty eyed.
dev37
FYI
dev37
As we discussed.
dev37
Please detach the attachment, combine it with the articles Gavin Dillingham sent me and attach to an e-mail to Robert Zoellick and Irwin Stelzer with this message from me: Attached is some background information on the "reregulation" crisis in California.
dev37
I'm afraid we have our work cut out for us.
dev37
We have been working the proces at the state and federal level in the past couple of weeks.
dev37
I continue to believe (hope)
dev37
Oops.
dev37
My computer sent the message before I was finished.
dev37
I continue to hope that there is more opportunity than risk in this for us.
dev37
Price volatility is in the news like never before and our main product is price risk management.
dev37
I know that the inquiries are up, I hope EES and ENA can get some sales out of it.
dev37
More utilities have been approaching TNPC, EES and ENA about taking over their merchant functions.
dev37
On the policy side, we are working the issue on both a state and federal level.
dev37
Whether this country does anything meaningful to deal with the current crisis comes donw to one person ...
dev37
Linda Breathitt.
dev37
Ken Lay spoke with Secy Richardson and Sen Schumer about proposing rulemaking initiatives to FERC.
dev37
We are working the RTO process hard elsewhere in the country and coming up with messages to arm our remaining allies around the country.
dev37
THis is the biggest time for us on this issue since the very beginnings in California and New Hampshire.
dev37
In the current panic, however, we will be decimated if we are associated only with a move to keep price caps from going into effect (I saw your message to Mona).
dev37
I am going to read the comments next, but I start off thinking we need to avoid running headlong into the price cap movement; we may be better off trying to co-opt the movement to get broader reform.
dev37
Hang in there.
dev37
The plan was to hit the issue twice -- once in the short format of Ebiz and at greater length in the longer format of the October issue of Enron Business.
dev37
Please let Paul know.
dev37
Please go ahead with preparation of the talking points.
dev37
I'll give Ken a heads up.
dev37
Background information.
dev37
I'd like to talk to Ken about making the call.
dev37
.
dev37
.
dev37
I'll see him at Exec comm today.
dev37
We'll have the usual macroeconomic update from Larry Lindsay and Gavyn Davies, the domestic political update from Bill Kristol and some presentations from Gary Hamel and others focussing on Enron NetWorks.
dev37
for meeting file
dev37
See attached WSJ article, particularly the last paragraph.
dev37
The message is: there has not been enough deregulation; the government is still very much in the way.
dev37
California is a perfect example: the market has responded to demand increases with thousands of megawatts of new generation, but state and local officials have not sited them, and companies like Enron are offering price protection, but utilities are not allowed to take advantage.
