Hello everyone,
Hope you have had a wonderful week thus far. I have attached the revised
confirm for ESA LLC, but before a signature is applied, I would like to get
an okay from you. I spoke to Sara, and she said that we were working on
getting Jana Morse as an approved signer for ESA.
Have a great day!

I understand from Tana that she has forwarded an Eastman Nondisclosure
Agreement (NDA) to you. If there is anyway to take a look at it today, I
would really appreciate it. The CIO of Eastman has proposed a visit to
Houston next Thurs or Fri (24th or 25th) to discuss the venture in greater
detail, pending completion of the NDA. Therefore, I'd like to get it to him
today. Michael Robison has already reviewed it from the Global Markets legal
perspective and has no problem with the NDA. Since the discussions may
ultimately lead to some use of EOL, we thought it prudent to get your input
at this stage.
I'm at x-37377 if you care to discuss the background further.
Thanks,

Subject: Lone Star Points
Daren, there were several points on your list that were previously created
and the remainder have been created, with the exception explained below.
Donna and I researched your list and identified the ones that were on system
(which she would create) and the ones that were off system (which I would
create).
Standard Pooling Stations and West Texas (Line X) Pooling Stations had no
meters, so they are not set up. I will try to find the meter numbers for
these locations. I don't think we will be using them much. So, it may be a
few days before I get the info together.
The Hunt Fairway Plant (17-8477-01) was previously created as (178477), I
need to know if the (01) needs to be added. Please add the 01.
We need to verify HPL - Texoma (17-0973-13), it is set up as (17097613). Is
this the same point??? This is the same point.
Please let Donna and myself know how to proceed with the ones in red.
Thanks,
Faye | {

On this bill, I would think that as far as our competitive businesses go, we should work through EPSA. Better to have the industry speaking with one voice. To that end, do we know where EPSA is on this - Reliant and Mirant will have a much larger impact. Finally, we probably will need this ability for our Control Area operators.

Subject: Energy Infrastructure Security Legislation
Senator Schumer's office sent over a copy of the Chairman's Mark that will form the basis for a hearing tomorrow and a mark up Wednesday in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on energy infrastructure security legislation. Pat is working with the pipeline group on how it affects them since it clearly applies to natural gas pipelines.
It would also clearly apply to PGE and to physical power plant assets we operate. The main impact here would be in the area of criminal background checks, including fingerprinting, for employees in categories to be determined in DOE implementing regulations. The background check data would be shared with law enforcement. The legislative language says that the background check regulations will "enable entities" operating "critical energy infrastructure facilities" to have these background checks. "Enable" is an odd choice of language because it could mean "authorize" only or it could mean "require." We should assume that the background checks will be mandatory despite this odd language.
The definition of "critical energy infrastructure facilities" would NOT appear to pick up our trading and other energy services businesses beyond pipelines, power plants and PGE. The definition is "a facility for the generation or transmission of electrical energy, or the production, refining, transportation, or storage of petroleum, natural gas, or petroleum product, the incapacity or destruction of which would have a debilitating impact on the defense or economic security of the United States."
If there is some reason why we would want other facilities included in the definition in order to obtain authorization for background checks, please let me know. It should be pointed out that the current draft does not contain explicit legal immunity for employers who provide information about employees to authorities.

texas did go to a bowl last year and get run by an arkansas team (sec) that
was blanked 35-0 in their last regular season game against lsu. big 12 can
say they are up this year, but the fact is there are only two teams playing
football in that conference, ou/nu. the other teams in the big 12 attribute
their loses to a competitive conference from top to bottom. i think they
should change the name of the conference to the big 2. at least the sec is
full of good teams. "the big 12 - you can't shine shit!" | {

Notes for this Week's Report:
* North American Gas has kept its overall average daily EOL deal count
steady at about 2,950 trades a day since January. This is about 180 trades a
day less than the November average of 3,130, which is still the Life to Date
high. The overall average daily EOL volumes have remained steady as well.
* The East and Central Regions of North American Gas have been the main
reason EOL Gas transactions have remained steady. The East Region has
increased its overall average daily EOL deal count by about 20% since
January, from 632 to 798 deals per day. The Central Region has increased its
overall average daily EOL deal count by about 50% since January, from 676 to
1,018 deals per day.
* US Power trading via EOL has now levelled off to average daily EOL Deal
Count of about 452 deals per day. This is mostly up from 181 deals per day
in December, to 340 in January, to 449 in February. In addition, the average
daily Non-EOL Deal Count has also levelled off at about 483 deals per day.
The average daily EOL volumes have remained fairly steady.
* US East Power trading via EOL has now dropped off since February. It has
decreased its average daily EOL Deal Count by about 13% since February, from
359 deals per day to 313. In addition, the average daily Non-EOL Deal Count
has now decreased by about 7% since February, from 269 to 250 deals per day.
The average daily EOL volumes have remained steady.
* UK Gas trading has continued to see a steady increase since December on
EOL. They were averaging close to 51 transactions per day in December 2000.
Recently they have been climbing to 81 deals per day in January, 111 in
February, and now 167 in March. This represents about a 227% increase.
* LPG's has decreased its total monthly EOL deal count from a consistent 450
trades or so from November through January, to only 250 trades in the month
of February, and only about 84 trades so far in the month of March . This
represents about a 62% decrease from previous months. The total monthly EOL
volumes have decreased similarly as well.
* Enron Metals trades done via EOL has increased since February, from a
daily average of 497 to a daily average of 629 for March. This represents
about a 27% increase. The average daily EOL volumes have increased as well.

Based upon the additional information you have provided to me, I have revised
our draft of EPMI's damages calculation. Please review it ASAP, as I would
like to be able to send it to our outside counsel this afternoon. Also,
there are a couple of blanks/question marks: Doug, you indicated that you
thought you could calculate our sales price per MWH for sales to LCRA during
the months of June-September 2000 by getting an index price from your
analyst. Also, are we quoting natural gas prices in mcf or mmbtu? Please

( BW)(TX-INDUSTRIAL-INFO-RES) The State of Food & Beverage 2001
Spending, in an Advisory by Industrialinfo.com
Business Editors
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 2001--The following is an
advisory by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources Inc.;
Houston, Texas). As the Food & Beverage Industry continues
restructuring to find growth, mergers, acquisitions and consolidation
are shrinking the industry. In recent years, food processors have
shown ravenous appetites for acquiring smaller companies that can help
increase their market share and improve efficiencies. Five of the
biggest industry players control about 50% of sales in the United
States.
Since improved efficiency is one of the typical reasons for
mergers and consolidations, often the result is the closure of
less-efficient plants. Once that process begins, there are many
related decisions that need to be made that quite often can lead to
decisions regarding the consolidation of other facilities in a company
and sometimes replacing an aging facility with new construction.
Since the beginning of the year, Industrialinfo.com has been
tracking activities in mergers and acquisitions and also plant
closings. 141 plants in the US and Canada have closed their doors and
over 85 major mergers/acquisitions have been made with more in the
works or pending for the year 2001.
Excess production capacity has become a problem in some parts of
the food industry, such as grain processing and meat production. The
primary reason industry experts say is a decline in foreign demand,
partly due to increasing production by processors in South America and
Asia, particularly China.
Companies seeking to construct new facilities are also facing more
stringent state and local regulations regarding air emissions and
water pollution. Given the increasing capital investment, food
processors are more likely to expand, when possible, rather than build
new plants.
IIR's capital spending and MRO projections for 2001 are at $13.8
billion. In the top 45 publicly held companies, spending projections
are estimated at $11 billion, up 1.1% over 2000 projections. Over two
thirds of capital spending is happening within existing facilities
with money being spent mainly on production, packaging and process
control equipment. Improvements in automation and information
integration are the major trend impacting capital spending over the
next five years.
Industrialinfo.com provides daily news related to the industrial
market place including industry alerts and databases for the energy
and industrial markets. For more information on trends and upcoming
construction activities in the Food & Beverage industry as well as
other industrial sectors send inquiries to

like the list includes only the different corporate entities of NICOR. Does
that mean that there were no existing transactions with the other Corporate
families, i.e. NIPSCO, CILCO, PGL and NS?
Thanks,

I agree that we should not be opposing rate caps for small customers and
schools, but I think we should be pounding on the fact that market
participants have been putting offers in front of sdge and that allowing the
market to provide this solution is superior to legislated caps that require
the creation of huge deferrals (and more problems in the future).
Can we make that argument work?

Subject: Re: Daily Update/ Legislative activity - 08/24/00
I attended Cmmr. Wood's two-day hearing on Wholesale Markets, which concluded
today (8/24) in San Diego. Three Commissioner's were present (Wood, Lynch
and Neeper) with Duque and Bilas participating by phone. Administrative Law
Judge Wetzel was present and a transcript was taken. The quasi-legislative
hearing was the beginning of a record developed for the investigation into
the workings of wholesale/retail markets. This session focused on Wholesale
markets. There will be subsequent sessions on retail issues, market
structure and other related issues in the future. My conclusion from this
session is that Wood is looking for support for increasing regulatory
intervention in the market.
Dan Larcamp, Director of the Office of markets, Tariffs and Rates, FERC, was
present. He relayed FERC's concern of this matter and a desire to hold
hearings in San Diego. He also relayed that Hoecker held a press conference
announcing the opening of a 206 investigative proceeding into the operation
of the wholesale markets in California, which carried with it refund
authority.
The format of the hearing was to respond to pre-filed questions developed by
Wood/Lynch. Each member of the panel would respond to the questions and any
questions posed by the Commissioners, the Judge or the CPUC Attorney. No
questions were posed by members of the audience. Yesterday's panel of
academics were comprised of:
1. Dr. Timothy Duane-UC Berkley
2. Dr. William Hogan-Harvard
3. Dr. Frank Wolak-Stanford (ISO Market Surveillance Committee)
4. David Marcus-Energy Consultant for the Coaltion of Utility Employees
5. Dr. Gene Coyle
6. Dr. Jean-Michel Glachant, Universite Paris I Pantheon Sorbonne
The panel was asked to speak as individuals and not on behalf of any
institutions they may represent. While the purpose of the panel seemed to be
to determine that market power was being exercised and that prices were too
high and therefore not just and reasonable, the panelist stopped short of
blaming generators and market participants in behaving illegally. The
concensus generally was that market power did exist at various times, but the
mere existence did not constitute bad behavior. None, with the exception of
Dr. Wolak who is in the process of doing a study using recent data as part of
his role for the Market Surveillance Committee, had done a study. There was
some discussion, though not much, of the monopsony power of the utilities. I
think ultimately the group conceded that scarcity of supply amplified
concerns about the exercise of market power, as even the increase in gas
costs did not fully explain the recent spikes. Wolak believes that encourage
utilities to enter into forward purchases will reduce the exercise of
real-time market power.
Hogan seemed to be there with Sempra's interests in mind. He continued to
promote expansion of the ISO's abilities to dispatch load as well as maintain
system reliability. There was alot of discussion about forward purchase
ability for utilities so as to be less subject to volatile market prices.
The concerns were also discussed about the appropriateness of a distribution
utility making purchasing decisions on behalf of its customers. This
included discussion of separation of these functions and the default provider
role.
Most everyone agreed that rolling back to a regulated market was not feasible
without raising other major and serious concerns, however there seemed to be
support for some interim measures where cost-of-service regulation may be a
good idea and that was during peak periods. All agreed that a demand
response, and price signals, are important in the long-run, although not to
the extent currently experienced in San Diego.
Today's panel included representatives from SDG&E, SCE and PG&E, TURN, UCAN
and ORA.
While yesterday's panel maintained objectivity as to whether or not
generators were exercising market power to the detriment of the system,
today's panel made no bones about the generators being to blame.
SCE/PG&E indicated their need for relief for recovery of market costs in
excess of the rate freeze. SDG&E was still on the hot seat for their
inaction in hedging any of their supply. SDG&E brought up their failed PBR
proposal and ORA and UCAN thought that that may be one way to incent the
utility to be more responsible with their purchases.
UCAN discussed the Governor's direction and the potential for putting rate
caps into affect for residential and small commercial. He mentioned that C&I
customers are experience difficulties as well.
TURN raised the need for cost-based bid caps and cost-based peaking
contracts. Mike Florio, TURN, urged against any further divestitute of
assets and alleged market concentration on those assets that had been
divested. In fact, TURN urged the Commission to seek legislation to clarify
the Commission's authority to order retention of assets.
Neeper urged that part of the solution should be changing the current
requirement to use the PX as the only authorized exchange, although TURN
disagreed.

Siting related bills
1. Good new - The Williamson Act passed the Senate 34-1, It should be heard
at the assembly Saturday or Monday if it is not redirected to a Committee
hearing.
2. There was a long meeting with Ducheny with regards to AB 970. The enviro's
boycotted, they want to draft a bill with Keeley. Labor was obstructionist -
they wanted to gut all the expediting siting language with regards to all
facilities except for the peaking plants.
Rate Cap related bills
1. The Edison Language on Rate Stabilization may not go anywhere. Edison has
not found an author because of the efforts of Enron and others lobbying
against it. Furthermore there are signs that Gov. Davis opposes it.
2. The Governor's office has issued a proposed language for a rate cap bill.
The language however is not available as of yet. It may be released today or
tomorrow. SDG&E has shown concerns over the content of the bill. They seem to
think that it is worse than initially proposed by the Governor in his press
release.
The bill includes retroactive rate caps through 6/1/00.
The rate cap could reflect Wood's rate cap proposal (6.5 cts cap on the
energy component
The bill does not specify who or how the costs associated with the cap will
be recovered. (The reasoning is that UDCs will be more cautious in their
procurement if there is uncertainty on who is responsible for the costs.)
All of this is speculative. We hope to see the actual language soon.
3. Enron has been working with the Republican leadership to promote a rate
cap proposal similar to the amended language we have proposed for AB2290.
The bill focuses only on SDG&E customers and our major principals are the
following.
The Interim Rate Cap should be limited to residential and small commercial
customers, plus specific institutions that have a significant public role,
such as schools and hospitals.
The Interim Rate Cap should be limited to the period ending December 31, 2001.
The Interim Rate Cap must be structured so that any undercollection is
eventually recovered from the same customers who benefit from the lower rates
provided by the rate cap. | {

Subject: Update on Heartland Steel
Bill -
I talked to John Enerson about Heartland Steel, and he tells me that things
are OK with respect to their payments on delivered gas. Heartland has paid
Enron for all of its physical delivered gas, and we now have them on
pre-payment for future gas delivery.
The MTM exposure is another issue, of course. Enerson thinks that Heartland
will have to cease operations within the next 2-3 weeks. Do we need to take
any action with respect to the MTM exposure position???

number from Tom Brown and nom via the internet to NWPL; 2) if not, nom via
internet into Questar and fax letter; or 3) fax nom to Questar, along with
letter.
Mark - what do you think our chances of getting a Wildhorse/NWPL transport
contract number are?

We should again nominate to NWPL . In our nomination we can state that if
Wildhorse again wrongfully rejects our nom to NWPL, we then nominate to
Questar solely to mitigate damages. I can draft the appropriate letter.

Will the nominations be done via the web site? Do we have the information to
nominate to NWPL via the website?

Joan, Gerald;
What is the game plan for November nominations? Do we want to go through
the same deal as before and nominate on NWPL, get rejected, and renominate
on Questar? Or, do we want to nominate on Questar and include a statement
that we are nominating on Questar only because of last month's ordeal?
Tom Brown and Wildhorse are supposed to close today - if they didn't get
their late last Friday.

It looks to me like another case of an obvious error (i.e. the counterparty
should have known it was a mistake). I'm afraid we've just been lucky that
the numbers have been so far off - some day we're going to have one that is
too close to call obvious.

Subject: Correction to PG&E Spread Trade
I've reviewed the PG&E trade in question again and the spread value is
actually $4.62, rather than $9. Given the fact that a typical spread trade
for Nat Gas is aroung 5 or 6 cents, I know that this correction is not much
of a consolation, but I wanted to clarify the pricing nonetheless.
Deal Number Q75763.1, .2
Leg 1 = 9.38
Leg 2 = 4.76
Spread valueon trade = 4.62

Subject: RE: Coral - 5/01 Deficiency Charges
Suzanne,
I was wondering if you had a chance to research the below note. Furthermore, please note the updated file attached. There are no changes volumetrically from the last file, but there are some price differences. Basically, Coral has taken these deficiency charges in their final settlement with Nov-01 prod. So, the need is to verify the correctness of their claim to these charges. Please advise on what you might know about this from a scheduling point of view when possible.
Kam,
We talked briefly about this before the holidays. The price problem we discusses has been cleared up by Coral. However, I assume that you need to be in the loop to also verify the overall deficiency charges and ultimately approve the creation of demand charges on the appropriate deals. Please let me know where you stand on this or what might be my next steps in cleaning this up.
Thanks,

Here is the spreadsheet that we discussed earlier today. The worksheet of concern is titled "Sched". Each deal is listed by group. That is to say that they are not listed by day, but the days in question are mentioned for each group. Furthermore, the volumes on the left of each group are from Coral's data, whereas the right side contains ENA data or my calculations.

I realize the group may go a different way with this, but I remain convinced
that we should go to a pure number system (ie a pure relative ranking) and
use the behaviors and skills descriptions as a way of discussing the
differences between people. Just adding the qualifier "relative to peers"
glosses over what's really going on. The behavior and skill descriptors tell
everyone what is valued here and guide the discussion. The relative ranking
lets us have the flexibility to meet business needs by getting tighter or
"looser" on performance rankings, terminations, and comp.

Subject: PRC Cluster Descriptors
Steve,
We have revised the PRC Cluster descriptors again, in an attempt to include
"relativity" into the language. Likewise, for consistency we opted not to
change them too drastically at the year end. Instead we will look at making
other changes (for example, reducing the number of clusters from 6 to 5
and/or changing the wording) at the mid-year 2001.
The VP PRC Committee had a chance to look at the revised clusters at last
week's meeting. However, I apologize that I did not send them to you in
advance of that meeting.
Cindy has asked me to send them to the Executive Committee after you have had
a chance to review them.
Please let me know what you think.

Joe,
I spoke with Centana's attorney. According to him, they are not opposed
to the escrow account, just the hassle of paper work, but he is checking
with his commercial person and will get back to me today. I told him ENA
wants to do the deal, ENA is willing to open the escrow account, but
that's the deal. So I expect to hear from him shortly.
Attached is the email from Centana's attorney. At the very beginning of
Mike Richards' email he lists all of his claims.

Kay, Mark is aware of this transaction. The following is his response
to Centana's counsel email. I did discuss with Mark this morning, the
current course we are following with Centana and he agreed it made
sense.
As it stands now we would sell all the gas in-place to Centana and they
would net out post-petition fees. Our business people feel that we have
used the storage services post-petition and consequently those fees
would be an administrative expense. An amount equivalent to the
pre-petition fees would be held in escrow until the bankrutpcy court
resolved the pre-petition amounts. All remaining amounts would be
delivered to Enron North America.

Rick and Sue,
I exhausted many resources in my attempt to get this information (Enron
Investor Relations, our PR group, newswires, Wall Street websites, etc.). I
found nothing, and then called the TR Daily editorial staff. Here's what I
learned:
Powell met with Frank Governali on May 30 to discus Powell's
interest/determination in promoting competition in the CLEC sector.
Governali is an analyst w/ Goldman, Sachs. Accompanying Governali were 6-8
of his largest clients, primarily pension and/or mutual fund managers. The
editorial staff member I spoke with indicated that the names of the fund
managers are typically not disclosed publicly, and TR does not know their
identities.
I was also told that Powell met with Merrill Lynch analyst Ken Hexter and
possibly Adam Quinton (heavily active in the telecom industry) on
May 31. The topic was the same as the May 30 meeting w/ Goldman, Sachs.
Another meeting is planned for the near future (perhaps today?) with Lehman
Bros. The analyst is not definitively known, but is suspected to be Blake
Bath.
I hope this has been somewhat helpful. I will watch the press for any
additional information in the coming days and will forward anything that I
find to you. Please let me know if you need anything further - and keep the
inquiries coming - I enjoy the challenge!

I like this one. Although the essential functions discusses the major

FYI - according to this article, a FERC commissioner informed Dow Jones that
FERC does not plan to expand the price cap to the entire Western region.
DJ FERC: Davis Can't Force Generators To Sell Pwr In Calif
Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
LOS ANGELES (Dow Jones)--A move by California Gov. Gray Davis which seeks to
bar in-state generators from exporting their abundant power supply is a
violation of interstate commerce rules - and therefore will never be
implemented, an attorney with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission told
Dow Jones Newswires.
Last month, energy officials proposed to Davis the possibility of forcing
in-state generators to sell all of their power into California, especially
during statewide power emergencies.
Davis said Tuesday night he may still seek legislation to force generators to
sell their power supply here, which would help the state's grid operator
avoid rolling blackouts.
But according to federal law, the state cannot prohibit companies from doing
business with other states, the attorney said, adding that it violates
interstate commerce rules.
Part of the reason energy companies export some of their power is that other
states are willing to pay far above California's wholesale electricity price
cap of $250 a megawatt-hour.
Tuesday, with the state teetering on the brink of rolling blackouts, Northern
California irrigation districts - government operated utilities that supply
water and power to farmers - sold about 400 MW of excess power to the
Northwest, reaping huge profits because customers there are not bound by a
price cap.
The ISO - forced to compete with companies willing to pay $1,000/MWh for
electricity - narrowly avoided rolling blackouts Tuesday by paying about $1.1
million for 1,000 MW of power, which is $1,100 a megawatt-hour.
Still, Gov. Davis is pushing FERC to impose a $100/MWh regional price cap.
But a FERC commissioner told Dow Jones Newswires that the commission will
very likely impose a $100/MWh price in California only. FERC's final order on
remedies California must undertake to repair its flawed market is due next
week.
But the FERC commissioner said it's the state's current price cap of $250/MWh
that's destroying the wholesale market and resulting in generators exporting
their power for a profit.
"If they can make $275/MWh in Nevada they have an obligation to their
shareholders," the FERC commissioner said.
State lawmakers, meanwhile, want to force generators who conduct business in
the state to report all wholesale electricity transactions to a state energy
panel and register before selling power.

Subject: FW: where does our energy come from?
-----Original Message-----

Subject: where does our energy come from?
Assemblyman Bill Leonard's most recent e-newsletter contained the
following information. I think it is very interesting to consider in
light of the present energy situation in California and the comments of
our present Governor.
Regards,
Curt
---------------------------------------------
***Who Really Powers California?***
Governor Davis has made no secret that he believes that swashbuckling,
cattle rustling, energy barons from Texas are to blame for our energy
crisis. While Texas power companies make for good bad guys in the
Governor's transparent Kabuki theater of blame, Leonard Letter readers
may
be interested to see who really provides power to Californians. The
following list illustrates what percentage of our power supply each
group of
generators provides. (Editor's note: these percentages have been rounded
up
resulting in slightly more than 100%)
18%- Pacific Gas and Electric (California)
15%- Southern California Edison (California)
11%- Imported power from the Northwest (including Canada)
10%- Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (California)
10%- Imported power from the Southwest
7%- State and Federal Agencies
6%- AES power company
5%- Municipal Utilities and Irrigation Districts
5%- Reliant power company
4%- Duke power company
4%- Southern power company
4%- Dynegy power company
1%- Sacramento Municipal Utility District (California)
1%- Calpine power company
1%- San Diego Gas and Electric (California)
It should be noted that of this list, only Dynegy and Reliant are from
Texas. These two companies represent a total of 9% of California's
energy
portfolio. By comparison, Georgia-based Southern (Mirant), Virginia's
AES,
and North Carolina's Duke Energy, have a 14% share of our energy
portfolio.
This list does not focus on who is gaming the market. However, every
provider listed benefited from skyrocketing energy prices. In trying to
identify those power producers who used market power to ring up high
profits
on Californians, we should include ALL power producers in our
investigations. State and federal agencies, independent power
companies,
utilities, municipal utilities, and even local irrigation districts
could
all be guilty of gouging consumers. Davis's focusing on only those
companies from Texas does everyone in this state a disservice and is a
misrepresentation of fact.

Brian Riley contacted me regarding the subject company and the fact that HPL
had overpaid them to the tune of $328,508.61and would it be appropriate for
HPL to withhold that amount from the next payment being sent to Upstream.
The documentation that has been provided to me shows that this amount relates
to overpayments made in 1997 and early 1998. The 1997 payments were made
pursuant to a spot contract and that they had confirmed a nomination of 500 a
day however, Killam Oil Company, the operator of the wells, has made a
reallocation of volumes from these wells from the parties that Upstream
represents to Enron Oil and Gas Company. The information provided does not
indicate when Killam made the reallocation. Based on the reallocation, HPL
or its predecessor has paid Upstream for 97,384 MMBtu that has now been
allocated to EOG. I am told that Upstream has not denied its responsibility
for repaying the money, only that it needed time to collect the money from
the parties that it represents. Upstream's attorney, Ty Kelly written
correspondence indicates that the Spot contract was not complete because it
did not provide a document evidencing the delivery point and volumes. That
contract provides that the remittance advice serves as the confirmation
evidencing the transaction. He also stated that the volumes should have been
sold to HPL under the Big Cowboy agreement which they did not have a copy
of. Brian Riley has indicated that the purchase price was the same under the
Big Cowboy and the Spot contract. Kelly also indicated that since HPL's
agreements routinely provide for arbitration, the issue should be resolved
through arbitration.
Based on my review of the information available, HPL should withhold the sum
of $328,508.61 from the next payment to be made to Upstream and hold such sum
in suspense until the issue is resolved. HPL needs to be aware that in the
event it is not able to prevail on its claim for such sum, it will need to
remit such amount together with interest to Upstream. | {

Dr. Kaminski, I would like to thank you very much for taking care of Amy and
me
during our trip to Houston. What I saw at Enron Communication was nothing
short
of revolutionary. More than that, I was impressed with the drive of the
people,
their kindness, and their proficiency. I look forward to meeting you again in
Stanford during the last weekend of February. I will send you an email next
week, so that we can arrange a meeting between you and Prof. Bambos.
All the best wishes,
Giuseppe

I'm sure that many of you are aware that there has been a great deal of
activity lately related to Enron's evaluation of possible acquisitions. John
Goodpasture's group has kept a large number of ET&S people engaged in looking
at a number of potential deals. While these deal evaluation projects have
become routine around here, we all must remember that these projects are
extremely confidential. Even after a potential seller has announced that it
is up for sale, the fact that Enron is looking at a potential deal, as well
as any of our internal analysis of the deal, remains strictly confidential.
I realize that many of you have ongoing business relationships with employees
of some of the companies that we have evaluated or may evaluate in the
future. If you find yourself in such a situation, and a business contact at
the target company asks whether Enron is evaluating the contact's company or
assets, the only appropriate response is that Enron personnel are not
permitted to discuss potential acquisitions. Please be aware that the
confidentiality agreements that we typically sign as part of the acquisition
evaluation process preclude any communication by Enron people with employees
of the target company.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this requirement, please do
not hesitate to give me a call. Thank you for your assistance.

As we discussed yesterday, the TCPL Mainline Service and Pricing Settlement
language
on the proposed Capacity Turnback Policy may be very important feature of the
Settlement
if ENA ends up reducing its sale to the plant and is responsible for
mitigating the cost of Sithe's
transportation upstream of Chippawa. The other features such as FT Make-Up
Credits and AOS
Credits on Sithe's transport will create new opportunities to generate
incremental revenues for
ENA and Sithe. The IT Floor Price will directly impact the "death spiral"
of future capacity
decontracting and resulting increased demand charges for Sithe if the IT
Floor is placed below
100% of firm tolls.
Here are some additional comments and questions on the draft language on
TCPL's
Turnback Policy:
1) Policy is good only through December 31, 2002, the ending date of the
Settlement.
There are a couple pipeline expansions (i.e. Iroquois' Eastchester and a
rumored
alternative to the Canadian portion of Millenium) that have a Fall 2003
in-service
date. Will TCPL's "queue" for new capacity kick-off the Turnback Policy?
Is there
a requirement that TCPL's upstream capacity match up with takeaway capacity
in
the U.S., for example Iroquois's 230,000 dth/d Eastchester project. Sithe's
capacity
may only partially prevent an additional expansion from Dawn to Waddington.
Sithe's capacity, however, would have higher value if the rumored Dawn to
Niagara
expansion alternative to Millenium becomes a reality. Can the language be
clarified
so that we don't lose out on turning back Sithe's capacity if an expansion
project
does not quite hit the deadline of December 31, 2002?
2) Requests for Turnback to be only posted on TCPL's bulletin board. Can
TCPL be
required to make a written notification to all FT shippers? What will be
the minimum
amount of time that shipper will have to prepare turnback bids? Several
weeks to
a month is typical for U.S. pipelines and can occur simultaneously during
the Open
Season for the expansions.
3) Existing FT shippers along the path on the Mainline System being expanded
may
offer to turnback all, or a portion of, their FT contracts. What criteria
and who
determines the path to be expanded? If a downstream expansion project is for
10 years, what if TCPL only needs to expand for the first couple of years
and then
there is more turnback? It just seems that there is so much TCPL discretion
on the
bid and evaluation process? Could some guidelines or goals established ahead
of time, in addition to the highest NPV process, that would direct how some
of these
decisions are made?
4) FT Shippers can turnback capacity on a permanent or temporary basis. Is
this
the approach that TCPL is proposing to handle that capacity is only needed
for
say 10 years to match up with Iroquois' Eastchester project? In the U.S.
shippers
have ROFR rights to extend their contract after the initial term. Is
turnback capacity
and the evaluation process that TCPL is proposing considering extending
contracts
beyond the primary term?
5) Turnback premiums and turnback discounts. I believe the goal should be
that
Shipper's such as Sithe, who have the longest contract term on TCPL's shipper
list, are protected from any increased rate base that will lead to higher
prices in
the future if the entire pipeline is not fully contracted. This is an
optimization step
that needs to be included during the bid evaluations. I am not clear whether
the proposed NPV approach and the Policy Item #7 fully protects long-term
shippers?
6) During the NPV evaluation, are 100% tolls used or just the reservation
charges?
7) The valuation of the NPV cost of new Facilities and/or "Transportation by
Others"
capacity to meet new service reuirements. Sithe's St. Clair to Chippawa
transport
is already a "TBO" capacity contract from Dawn to Chippawa. Could the
wording
be changed in the evaluation formula so that TCPL considers the net cost
impact
to the TCPL. on the net facility impact, rather than just any new savings in
"TBO"
capacity costs?
8) All turnback costs and revenues will be recorded in a Flow-Through Deferral
Account. Will remaining firm shippers see all the benefit or the cost from
how
this account will be applied in the next subsequent Test Year?
If you have any questions, please call me at x31667,

We want to update you on a new development related to our bankruptcy and our efforts to structure a new company.
Enron's sale agreement with Northwest Natural Gas to sell Portland General Electric will be terminated. The termination is a mutual decision between our company and Northwest Natural and is subject to bankruptcy court approval. Our bankruptcy added unforeseeable complications that prohibited the sale being completed as originally structured.
Once the sale agreement is terminated, we will plan to move forward with PGE as part of our existing energy asset platform while continuing to evaluate options related to PGE.

Enron CFO's Partnership Had Millions in Profit
By Rebecca Smith and John R. Emshwiller
Staff Reporters of The Wall Street Journal
10/19/2001
The Wall Street Journal
C1
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
A limited partnership organized by Enron Corp.'s chief financial officer, Andrew S. Fastow, realized millions of dollars in profits in transactions it did with Enron, according to an internal partnership document.
The partnership, in some instances, benefited from renegotiating the terms of existing deals with the Houston energy company in ways that improved the partnership's financial positions or reduced its risk of losses.
Mr. Fastow, and possibly a handful of partnership associates, realized more than $7 million last year in management fees and about $4 million in capital increases on an investment of nearly $3 million in the partnership, which was set up in December 1999 principally to do business with Enron.
The profits from the deals were disclosed in a financial report to investors in the partnership, LJM2 Co-Investment LP, that was signed by Mr. Fastow as the general partner and dated April 30. In one case, the report indicates the partnership was able to improve profits by terminating a transaction early.
The LJM2 arrangement has become controversial for Enron, as shareholders and analysts have raised questions about whether it posed a conflict by putting the company's chief financial officer, who has a fiduciary duty to Enron shareholders, in a position of reaping financial rewards for representing LJM2 investors in business deals with Enron. Investors in LJM2 include Wachovia Corp., General Electric Co.'s General Electric Capital Corp. and Credit Suisse Group's Credit Suisse First Boston.
Attention has focused on Mr. Fastow's partnership activities at a tumultuous time for Enron, which over the past decade grew enormously by becoming the nation's biggest energy-trading company.
This year, though, it has been hit by a string of troubles, from soured business initiatives to executive departures. On Tuesday, Enron announced a $618 million third-quarter loss, because of a $1.01 billion write-off on investments in broadband telecommunications, retail energy services and Azurix Corp., a water company. A small chunk of that write-off, about $35 million, was attributed to ending certain LJM2-related transactions. That termination also produced a $1.2 billion reduction in Enron shareholder equity as the company decided to repurchase 55 million shares that had been part of LJM2 deals.
At 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, Enron was down 9.9%, or $3.20, to $29 a share. Within the past year, the stock had topped $80 a share.
Enron officials didn't have any comment about the LJM2 partnership document. Enron has consistently said its dealings with LJM2 have been proper. They said the LJM2 deals, like ones done with other parties, were aimed at helping hedge against fluctuating market values of its assets and adding sources of capital.
Mr. Fastow has declined several requests for an interview about LJM2. In late July, he formally severed his ties with LJM2, as a result of what Enron officials said was growing unease by Wall Street analysts and major shareholders. Mr. Fastow has been finance chief of Enron since 1997 and has been with the firm 11 years, which included extensive work setting up and managing company investments.
Michael Kopper, a former Enron executive who an Enron spokesman said is now helping to operate LJM2, declined to comment. He also wouldn't describe his relation to LJM2.
In his April 30 report, Mr. Fastow said the partnership, which raised $394 million, had invested in several Enron-related deals involving power plants and other assets as well as company stock. The document said LJM2 sought a 29% internal rate of return. That was down from a 48% targeted rate of return at the end of 2000, which the document said was due in part to a decline in the value of LJM2's investment in New Power Co., an Enron-related energy retailer. In some transactions, LJM2 did much better than the 29% target, though this sometimes involved renegotiating individual deals.
In September 2000, the partnership invested $30 million in "Raptor III," which involved writing put options committing LJM2 to buy Enron stock at a set price for six months. Four months into this deal, LJM2 approached Enron to settle the investment early, "causing LJM2 to receive its $30 million capital invested plus $10.5 million in profit," the report said. The renegotiation was before a decline in Enron's stock price, which could have forced LJM2 to buy Enron shares at a loss of as much as $8 each, the document indicated.

Enron CFO Profited From Partnerships With Company, WSJ Reports
2001-10-19 01:00 (New York)
Houston, Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Enron Corp.'s Chief Financial
Officer Andrew Fastow realized profits through a limited
partnership that did business with Enron, the Wall Street Journal
reported, citing an internal partnership document.
LJM2 Co-Investment LP, of which Fastow is a general partner,
made millions of dollars on transactions with Enron, the paper
said. Fastow and possibly a handful of partnership associates made
$7 million last year in management fees and about $4 million in
capital increases on an investment of about $3 million in the
partnership, the paper said.
Enron shareholder Fred Greenberg filed a lawsuit yesterday,
alleging that Enron's board cost the company at least $35 million
by allowing Fastow to manage partnerships that bought Enron
assets. Enron reported $1.01 billion in third-quarter losses from
failed investments.
The Five Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week

1. Bayer Fighting the Bears?
One beneficiary of the anthrax scare has been Bayer AG (BAYZY:OTC BB ADR - news - commentary) , the German chemical maker, which has seen its share price gain 10.4% since the terrorist attacks. But investors bidding up the stock might be getting ahead of themselves.
Bayer makes Cipro, a leading treatment for anthrax. But while the demand for Cipro is high, sales from the drug are only a small portion of the company's overall revenue, which totaled 30.9 billion euros last year (and, according to analysts, will increase even more this year, due to its acquisition of Aventis CropScience, a crop protection and production company). To put the demand for Cipro in context, J.P. Morgan expects U.S. sales of the drug to be approximately 1.2 billion euros for 2001.
Even emergency purchases of Cipro probably won't add that much to Bayer's overall revenues. The president has asked for $643 million for antibiotics to combat bioterrorist attacks. While it's possible that sum will be increased, not all the money would be spent on Cipro.
Besides, it's not even clear that Bayer will remain the only producer of Cipro. Though the company holds the patent for the drug, there's some pressure in Congress for the government to purchase a generic version from other manufacturers.
On another front, Bayer is currently battling a class-action lawsuit related to an anti-cholesterol drug implicated in a number of deaths. It was forced to withdraw the drug from the market.
Bayer may offer protection against anthrax, but that doesn't mean it's a refuge for investors.
2. Losses at Twice the Price
You know things are bad for a company when its losses per share are double the price of the shares themselves. That's the case for i2 Technologies (ITWO:Nasdaq - news - commentary) , the supply-chain software maker. After market close on Tuesday, the company posted losses under generally accepted accounting principles that amounted to $5.5 billion, or $13.25 per share, for the latest quarter, including all charges.
In other words, i2's losses were more than twice the value of its share price, which closed at $5.69 before the announcement.
Much of the huge writedown reflects amortized goodwill from the purchase of Aspect Development in March 2000.
To be fair, investors in companies that have made big acquisitions like i2 typically focus on pro forma earnings, which exclude charges and extraordinary items. By that measure, i2's losses didn't look quite so bad: The company met analysts' consensus expectations with a loss of $55.3 million, or 13 cents per share.
Still, investors met i2's earnings with disapproval, knocking the stock down 25% the day after they were reported.
3. Microsoft's Bag of Tricks
In times like these, there's comfort in knowing business goes on as usual at many U.S. companies. Just like the old days, Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq - news - commentary) is in the hot seat for its sharklike behavior toward a competitor.
It stands accused of sending 3,000 fake cereal boxes emblazoned with the words "Microsoft Server Crunch" to customers of rival server software maker Novell. The boxes, according to Novell, contained "a number of false and misleading statements" intended as putdowns of Novell products.
Among the attempted insults were some not-so-clever plays on packaged food. For example, in a reference to Novell's flagship software product, a line on the Microsoft boxes read: "What's the expiration date on that NetWare platform?" (A round of applause, please, for those gut-splittingly funny engineers.)
The boxes also said Novell is shifting its focus from software to consulting services, which Novell says isn't true.
Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler said the cereal boxes were primarily intended to advertise Microsoft services, not to slight Novell. "It was all in the theme of a mock cereal box," he said. "It was a modest campaign."
In response to Novell's complaints, he says Microsoft sent out a letter in September to recipients of the boxes to clarify some of its statements, and it's just agreed to send another letter to appease the company. For the record, Novell said it's not calling off its lawsuit for unspecified money damages.
4. AMD's Feisty Pledge
CEOs don't get their jobs by being eloquent, and it probably would be too much to expect them to sound statesmanlike. But sometimes their oratorical rough edges cross the line into embarrassing.
Case in point: Comments from Jerry Sanders, the CEO of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD:NYSE - news - commentary) , which earlier this week reported a loss for the first time in almost three years. The company, facing harsh pricing competition from Intel (INTC:Nasdaq - news - commentary) , said its revenue was down 22% from a year ago and it expects a likely operating loss for the fourth quarter.
Given recent declines in consumer confidence, the downturn is likely to be extended by several quarters, Sanders admitted. But in a conference call, he indulged in some spirited fist-shaking. Citing the company's so-called "Hammer" architecture for processors, Sanders declared, "We feel that when the upturn comes, we're going to kick ---."
Does this guy carry around a surfboard in his car or what? Mr. Sanders, meet Mr. Reeves.
OK, so we actually kind of admire Sanders' never-capitulate spirit. But his comment seems a little redundant, because just about everybody will look better when the economy turns around. Because that may not be anytime soon, what matters is how companies weather the interim -- feisty pledges notwithstanding.
5. Enron's Rabbit-From-a-Hat Style
Analysts have complained for some time about Enron's (ENE:NYSE - news - commentary) rabbit-from-a-hat style accounting, with which the company produced results that wowed investors without making it quite clear where they came from. Now that its business has taken a sour turn, that tendency has gotten even more unsettling.
To cap off its disappointing earnings results this week -- Enron posted a steep loss after taking a $1.01 billion charge -- the company let drop that its shareholder equity had decreased by $1.2 billion.
In a conference call, CEO Kenneth Lay attributed the reduction in equity to the "removal of an obligation to issue a number of shares." According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Enron repurchased 55 million shares issued through a series of transactions involving LJM Capital, a partnership that until recently was headed up by Enron's CFO.
TSC's Peter Eavis has written that it appears Enron lent LJM money to buy Enron stock.
Ironically, the company boasted in its earnings release this week that it had expanded reporting of its financial results, presumably to quiet its accounting critics.
Enron's transactions have been so labyrinthine that it's hard to identify exactly if or how they were inappropriate. But the latest revelation, to say the least, does nothing to bolster the company's credibility. Enron, whose CEO resigned unexpectedly in August, had seen its stock fall 59% for the year leading up to its latest earnings release. Since then, it's dropped another 12.6%
The New Power Company Revises Its Netting Agreement With Enron; Provides For Receivables and Inventory Financing
10/19/2001
Business Wire
(Copyright (c) 2001, Business Wire)
PURCHASE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2001--The New Power Company ("NewPower"), a wholly owned subsidiary of NewPower Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NPW) today filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting that it has revised its master netting agreement with Enron North America Corp., Enron Energy Services, Inc., and Enron Power Marketing, Inc. (together, the "Enron Subsidiaries").
The amendment affects the Master Cross-Product Netting, Setoff, and Security Agreement (the "Master Netting Agreement") among NewPower and the Enron Subsidiaries, and expands through January 4, 2002, the types of collateral that NewPower is permitted to post to the Enron Subsidiaries.
The effect of the amendment is to reduce, through January 4, 2002, the amount of cash collateral that NewPower is required to post to the Enron Subsidiaries. Under the amended Master Netting Agreement, the first $70 million of posted collateral must be in the form of cash, while amounts in excess of $70 million may consist of not more than $40 million of eligible receivables and inventory of NewPower, valued at discounts specified in the amendment, and subject to a $25 million limit for October 2001. Pledging receivables and inventory is consistent with NewPower's previously announced intention to secure asset-backed financing.
With the amendment and NewPower's cost reduction efforts, and absent a similar rate of decline in commodity prices or other significant events, NewPower believes that it has sufficient financial resources to conduct its business until it secures ongoing asset-backed financing, which will be necessary upon the expiration of the amendment. NewPower has been and is actively seeking to arrange asset-backed financing with other parties, although to date no such arrangements have been secured.
The Company expects to meet its previous estimate of net loss and loss per basic and diluted share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2001. However, customer count and revenues are expected to be slightly lower than previously forecast.
The Company will provide revised guidance for the fourth quarter 2001 and an outlook for 2002 on its third quarter conference call scheduled for Thursday, November 8.

LOBBYING
K Street's Top 10: The Shifting Lineup
Shawn Zeller
10/20/2001
National Journal
Copyright 2001 by National Journal Group Inc. All rights reserved.
How do the Washington lobbying firms with the heftiest incomes put themselves in the upper echelon of K Street practitioners? Van Scoyoc Associates Inc. does it by signing up a stable of smaller clients and working hard to retain them. Quinn Gillespie & Associates doesn't have a long client list, but it is at the top of the heap in terms of average fee per client. Greenberg Traurig, meanwhile, lured away a rival firm's top rainmaker-and his lucrative book of clients.
These are just some of the business strategies revealed in National Journal's survey of the 10 Washington lobbying firms with the highest fee income from January 1 to June 30. The four top firms at midyear 2001 are the same ones as a year earlier: perennial powerhouses Cassidy & Associates Inc.; Patton Boggs; Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld; and Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, McPherson and Hand.
But two new players-boasting huge growth rates-are among the firms nipping at the heels of these top dogs.
Greenberg Traurig, which came in at No. 5 in National Journal's midyear 2001 rankings, had never before been in the top tier of Washington lobbying firms. According to PoliticalMoneyLine, which compiles a comprehensive annual list of all lobbying firms, Greenberg Traurig had the 35th-highest income during the first six months of last year.
And No. 7 in the midyear 2001 rankings is Quinn Gillespie, another first-time member of the top 10. Formed just a year and a half ago by former Clinton White House Counsel Jack Quinn and Ed Gillespie-a one-time adviser to House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas-the firm has seen its fortunes rocket upward. Quinn Gillespie was No. 13 in the first six months of 2000.
In between these two newcomers is Van Scoyoc Associates, ranked at No. 6. There has been a steady rise for Van Scoyoc, which was No. 28 in fee income at the end of 1996, the year in which the 1995 Lobbying Disclosure Act first took effect.
Rounding out the top 10 at midyear 2001 are stalwarts Williams & Jensen; Washington Council Ernst & Young; and Barbour Griffith & Rogers.
National Journal ranks the top-10 lobbying firms every six months by tallying the fees that firms report to the House and Senate as required under the 1995 legislation. National Journal tabulates total fees for only the 25 top firms in PoliticalMoneyLine's comprehensive annual survey.
With its $16.68 million in fees for the first six months of the year, Cassidy & Associates continued to blow away the competition. The last time any firm reported a six-month total larger than Cassidy's was during the first half of 1998, when Verner, Liipfert led the way. During the first six months of this year, Cassidy & Associates received a massive fee of $1 million from the Taiwan Studies Institute, a think tank with close ties to the Taiwanese government; Boeing Co. paid Cassidy & Associates $600,000; and Tiffany & Co. paid it $400,000 to lobby on legislation that would bar diamonds mined in conflict-ridden areas of the world from entering the global market.
Despite the economic downturn and the terrorist threat, lobbying goes on, company Chairman Gerald S.J. Cassidy said. "During difficult times, people come to Washington with their problems. During more-robust times, they come seeking opportunities."
But the biggest story at midyear was the rise of Greenberg Traurig. The firm, which posted just $1.71 million in lobbying fees during the first half of 2000, saw that amount more than quadruple to nearly $8.7 million this year. Much of the credit goes to Jack Abramoff, the conservative K Street mover and shaker who is an ally of House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas. Last year, Abramoff left his old firm, Preston Gates Ellis & Rouvelas Meeds, and brought $3 million in business with him to Greenberg Traurig. Preston Gates, which was ranked in the top five during Abramoff's tenure, dropped out of National Journal's rankings this year. The lobbying firm's fees fell by nearly 50 percent.
Abramoff continued to make rain at Greenberg Traurig, billing $860,000 to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, $500,000 to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and $300,000 to garment manufacturers that operate in that U.S. territory. A few new clients also forked over big bucks: the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana ($440,000); Voor Huisen Project Management, a homebuilder with international operations ($300,000); and the American International Center ($100,000). Despite initial concerns among some Greenberg Traurig partners about whether Abramoff would fit in, Abramoff insists that his team of lobbyists has been "totally integrated" into the firm.
But Abramoff wasn't the only one responsible for Greenberg Traurig's higher earnings. Ronald W. Kleinman, a former State Department lawyer, persuaded Congress with the help of several Greenberg Traurig colleagues to pass Section 2002 of the 2000 Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act. This section of the law ordered the Treasury Secretary to use Cuban government funds that are frozen in U.S. banks to compensate the families of three men who had won multimillion-dollar judgments against Cuba under a 1996 amendment to the Foreign Sovereignty Immunities Act. The amendment allows victims of terrorism or their families to sue states that are on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Greenberg Traurig represented the families of Armando Alejandre, Carlos Alberto Costa, and Mario M. de la Pena-three members of Brothers to the Rescue, a Cuban-American group that rescues Cubans in the waters off Florida. The three men died when their plane was shot down over international waters on February 24, 1996. The families sued Cuba and were awarded $96.7 million in damages by a U.S. District Court judge in 1997. The State Department opposed payment, but President Clinton signed the trafficking bill. Greenberg Traurig reported a fee of $4 million.
Fred W. Baggett, the chair of Greenberg Traurig's governmental practice group, said this was a one-time fee, but he added that the Cuban case "established a platform so that the firm can support undertaking those one-time efforts in the future," and noted, "We have a few coming down the pipeline."
Baggett said the firm has cases involving an American killed in Jerusalem by the Palestinian group Hamas, and Americans who were used as human shields in Iraq during the Persian Gulf War. None of the Americans was killed, and all were eventually released.
Taking the flip side of the mega-fee approach was Van Scoyoc Associates, which reported receiving no fee above $180,000. Nonetheless, the firm continued its steady rise. A key reason, said firm President H. Stewart Van Scoyoc, was the ability to recruit and retain clients. The firm signed up 34 clients between January 1 and June 30, while only nine out of 159 clients terminated contracts during the period.
"We work hard at defining the relationship with a client before we sign a contract," said Van Scoyoc. "We make sure we're clear on the goals and objectives, and in a typical relationship, we don't guarantee that we can do everything." The firm's $6.24 million total for the first half of 2001 was 23 percent higher than its fees for the same period last year.
Quinn Gillespie's ascent into the top 10 was more along the lines of Greenberg Traurig's. Quinn Gillespie's billings were almost $6.09 million at midyear 2001, a 71 percent rise over the same period last year. The firm has only 34 paying clients, but the average fee per client-$180,000-is the highest among the top 10. During the six months, the British Columbia Lumber Trade Council paid a fee of $540,000 to Quinn Gillespie, while Enron Corp. paid $525,000. The Canadian group hoped its high-powered lobbyists would win greater access for Canadian lumber in the United States, but U.S. tariffs were reinstated earlier this year. Lobbying for Enron focused on energy deregulation, particularly in California. Enron is a major creditor of Southern California Edison, the utility whose financial woes resulted in power shortages in California last summer.
Quinn Gillespie's staff has grown from nine at the time of the founding to nearly 30 today. "We like to think we have a toolbox here-people who may be Republicans or Democrats but who also have different skills that benefit the client," Quinn said.
Patton Boggs had fees of $10.26 million in the first six months of 2001, but that was just a 5 percent rise over the same period in 2000. Still, the firm leapfrogged over Verner, Liipfert to capture the No. 2 ranking. Patton Boggs earned $360,000 from Russia's government-owned NTV television network, which was at the center of a controversy earlier this year when the government took over the independent network and ousted its staff.
Akin, Gump also jumped past Verner, Liipfert to No. 3 in the rankings, posting $9.48 million in fees-a 16 percent increase over a year earlier. Akin, Gump's biggest client was the troubled tire manufacturer Bridgestone/Firestone Inc., which paid just over $1.5 million in fees. Akin, Gump also earned big money from AT&T ($800,000) and the Gila River Indian Community ($620,000).
At No. 4, Verner, Liipfert saw the biggest drop in fees, taking in $8.84 million in the first six months of 2001-down 16 percent from the same period in 2000. Verner, Liipfert lost lucrative contracts with Puerto Rico after the government there changed hands last year. (See this issue, p. 3273.)
Rounding out the top-10 rankings, Williams & Jensen at No. 8 billed $5.68 million, a 12 percent increase over the first half of 2000, while Washington Council Ernst & Young saw its fees drop 11 percent to $5.5 million. The firm fell four places to No. 9 in the rankings. Barbour Griffith & Rogers's fee income was up 7 percent to $5.48 million, putting the firm at No. 10.
Falling out of the midyear top-10 rankings were Preston Gates-No. 6 at midyear 2000-and PricewaterhouseCoopers, No. 7 last year. PricewaterhouseCoopers's billings were $5 million for the period, a 6 percent drop from the first half of 2000.

Houston Chronicle
Houston entrepreneurs added to Texas Business Hall of Fame
By TOM FOWLER
Copyright 2001 Houston Chronicle
The Texas Business Hall of Fame's annual awards ceremony Thursday night honored four Houston business leaders.
The event at the George R. Brown Convention Center put the spotlight on Weingarten Realty Investors Chairman Stanford Alexander; Compaq Computer founder and former Chief Executive Officer Rod Canion; retired Reliant Energy Chairman and CEO Don Jordan; and Dynegy Chairman and CEO Chuck Watson.
This is the 19th year the nonprofit Texas Business Hall of Fame Foundation has honored the state's business leaders with a dinner and induction event.
As chairman of Weingarten Realty Investors, Stanford Alexander built the company into one of the nation's largest publicly traded real estate companies.
After serving in the U.S. Air Force, Alexander joined J. Weingarten, a Houston-based chain of 87 supermarkets. He later became an executive with Weingarten Markets Realty Co., an affiliated real estate firm that developed free-standing supermarket stores.
The firm later changed its name to Weingarten Realty. The Houston-based company is now publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
Weingarten owns shopping centers, warehouses and other property in 17 states from coast to coast.
Weingarten's notable developments in Houston include the upscale Village Arcade near Rice University and the Centre at Post Oak, across from the Galleria.
Rod Canion came up with the idea behind Compaq in 1982 after a trip to a local ComputerLand store. Along with colleagues from Texas Instruments, Jim Harris and industrial designer Ted Papajohn, Canion envisioned a portable computer that ran all the programs that operated on the IBM PC.
By the next year, the company was producing the original Compaq luggable computer, a move that essentially created the modern PC industry. By 1987, its fifth year, the company made business history by breaking $1 billion in sales, the fastest pace ever for a corporate startup.
Canion left Compaq in October 1991 but continued to be active in other ventures. In 1992, he founded Insource Technology Group, a consulting services and network engineering firm, and continues to serve as chairman.
Don Jordan has been in the forefront of Houston business and society for decades. And even though he retired from the post of chairman and chief executive at Reliant Energy in late 1999, he has remained active in the city's growth and development.
Jordan was with Reliant and its predecessor Houston Industries for 44 years and helped position the company for its eventual split between the company's regulated businesses, such as HL&P and Entex, and unregulated business that is now called Reliant Resources.
Jordan, along with his corporate rival Ken Lay of Enron, was instrumental in the successful campaign last year to convince voters to approve the use of public funds to build a new arena downtown for the Houston Rockets.
Jordan has spent a lot of time on the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo board and many other civic groups.
Chuck Watson has built Dynegy into one of Houston's leading energy companies, but he is more well-known for his forays into the world of sports.
Watson established NGC Corp., Dynegy's predecessor, in 1985 and served as president until becoming chairman and chief executive officer in 1989.
Recently Watson was revealed to be the largest investor in the limited partnership assembled to put together the Texans, Houston's National Football League franchise. It begins playing next year.
Watson also owns the Aeros, Houston's American Hockey League team.
Watson's support was also pivotal to getting voters last year to approve the use of public funds for the new downtown arena. Watson had opposed an earlier deal to use public money to build the facility.
Watson has also been a strong supporter of Houston's bid to land the 2012 Olympic Games.
To date, the foundation has awarded more than $1.8 million in scholarships to students pursuing business degree at Texas colleges and universities.
Recession, Budget Cuts, Travel Fears To Subdue LME Week
By Mark Long
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
10/19/2001

LONDON -(Dow Jones)- The many travails of the metals industry will dampen the spirits of those who make it to the annual round of meetings and parties at London Metal Exchange Week, which starts Monday.
In what is expected to be a much smaller group of delegates than usual, conversations will be dominated by fears of global recession smothering already-lousy demand, the increasingly pressing need for production cuts, and the exit of several important participants from the metals business.
Cuts in companies' travel budgets and fears of flying are keeping many of the usual attendees away from London this year, dealers and analysts said.
"Sentiment is going to be bearish, and we've just heard in the past few days of people who were previously going to come along not coming, largely on their companies' advice," said Adam Rowley, an analyst at MacQuarie Bank in London.
Indeed, a representative at another major bank said fully half of the guests expected at its satellite activities have canceled.
Forecasts for base metals demand and average prices have been widely revised downward in the past few weeks, particularly since the impact of the Sept. 11 terror attacks accelerated the world economic slowdown.
Just this week, Standard Bank ratcheted its expectations lower, with LME cash copper - a bellwether for the complex that's especially sensitive to industrial productivity - seen at $1,350 a metric ton in December 2001, down from an actual year-to-date average in 2001 of $1,619/ton.
Producers are reluctant to cut copper output, and declining Chinese imports and weak demand in the west mean there is still further downside potential for copper, Standard Bank analyst Robin Bhar said.
With demand for base metals slumping so sharply, eyes have been turning to the producers to make moves on the supply side.
In copper, analysts say U.S. producers are the most likely to cut back, as the recent strength in the dollar hits their bottom line the hardest. However, a recent slump in energy prices has kept the wolves from the door so far for some producers in an industry that's energy-intensive.
Elsewhere, zinc is suffering from a supply glut that recently pressured the LME three-month price to a 17-year low of $766 a metric ton.
The troubles of Australian zinc producer Pasminco Ltd. (A.PAS) will surely be a hot topic, following the company's move to voluntary administration due to its large debt load, dealers said.
But aside from all the market concerns, the most worrisome topic will likely be the recent succession of companies bailing out of or reducing their commitment to the metals business, market participants said.
In the past week, N.M. Rothschild & Sons Ltd. quit the base metals business and ScotiaMocatta - the metals trading arm of the Bank of Nova Scotia (T.BNS) - removed itself from open-outcry ring trade at the LME. Earlier this month, Enron Metals said it would cut staff by 10%-20% in Europe, and all these moves follow Mitsui Bussan Commodities Ltd. ditching its market-making activities in the metals business earlier this year.
Who's next?
"It could be anyone," is the refrain from nearly all market participants surveyed.

HC to hear DPC's plea
10/19/2001
The Times of India
Copyright (C) 2001 The Times of India; Source: World Reporter (TM)
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court will, on December 11, begin hearing a petition filed by Enron-promoted Dhabol Power Company (DPC), challenging the jurisdiction of the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) to adjudicate the US-based multinational's dispute with Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB).
A division bench headed by Justice Ajit Shah decided to hear the matter at a stretch for a week beginning from December 11. The court permitted MERC members P. Subrahmanyam and Venkat Chary to be impleaded as respondents. They have been asked to file affidavits by November 9.
The multinational power giant had levelled certain allegations of bias against an MERC member Jayant Deo. Mr Deo urged the court that he would like to recluse himself from the proceedings.
DPC was allowed to amend its main petition in view of the allegations levelled against Mr Deo and were asked to amend it within week.
In his affidavit replying to allegations of bias by the DPC, Mr Deo said he was neutral in his stand as a MERC member.
The court has made it clear that when the hearing in the case commences, two intervening parties, US Exim Bank and a consortium of 11 offshore lenders of DPC would not be allowed to make any pleadings. The court, however, said they would be permitted to assist the court by making oral submissions.

Sally,
I just wanted to follow up with you on John Postlewaite's options that we
discussed when we enticed him to stay here at Enron. I asked Kim Melodick
and Norma Villareal if they knew anything about them and they did not. I
know you spoke to David Oxley about this. Can I follow up with him? Thanks.

California's Price Caps Raising Average Cost of Power
The retail price caps imposed in California are leading to higher average
prices for longer periods of time as demand responsiveness is dulled and
supply is retarded, according to a report released by Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter. Traders interviewed by the firm said that calendar strips for 2001
through 2003 have traded in excess of $100/MWh, or around $30/MWh higher than
a month ago. What's more, the firm said, the expected trough in the forward
curve * projected in the 2002-2003 time frame * "continues to move out in
time."
The Dean Witter study reported that the change in futures pricing for the
California Oregon Border (a proxy for Northern California pricing) and at
Palo Verde (a proxy for Southern California pricing) trading hubs show
similar upward trends from June through August.
The study said the most alarming thing for the state is the increased threat
of power outages. Higher priced regions like the desert Southwest and the
Northwest "will suck exports out of the state and deter imports," Dean Witter
said. The tight supply situation is pushing average prices higher, more
often, and increasing the risk imports won't arrive at all when they are
truly needed. | {

Subject: Hawaii II 125-0 Facility
Attached, in Word Perfect, are the initial drafts of the closing documents
necessary for the new Hawaii II 125-0 two year facility. The documents are
marked against the original Hawaii 125-0 facility entered into in March of
this year.
Please note that it is the intention of Enron to roll over all of the
tranches in the current Hawaii facility into this two year facility on the
closing date. Accordingly, we have utilized the existing trust and merely
amended and restated the trust agreement (renaming the trust Hawaii II
125-0). Because we are utilizing the same trust, I believe that we can roll
over the existing tranches with minimal paperwork - perhaps one omnibus
amendment for each series, setting forth the appropriate references to the
new Nov 15 documents.
I will send Hawaii I 125-0 Facility documents, marked against the Hawaii
II125-0 Facility documents on or before Monday morning.
The attached documents are identified as follows:

The Austin Group Energy, L.P.
Monthly Newsletter
Let's describe a typical and recurring nightmare for generating unit
operators. It's noon on August 15, temperatures have reached the upper 90s
all week; you're well into your reserve margin to serve native load, when a
unit trips off line. Do you scramble to find replacement power at record
high prices and worry about the consequences later? Or, have you prepared
for this event?
When the degree of risk has not been quantified, fear of the unknown can
lead to restless nights, and understandably so. The financial implications
can be astounding when a unit outage occurs during a period of high spikes
in market prices.
How does this relate to the recruitment and hiring of talent within your
shop? Allow me to bring the story together. What would you do if your top
employee came to you and said, "You've been great to me and I've learned
alot, but I just accepted a job at your level right down the road and they
like me so much they want me to start tomorrow." Do you spring into 911 mode
or are you ready for this day.
Start a relationship today with The Austin Group Energy. We will keep you
aware of all available talent in your market area. These candidates are
currently employed and do not answer ads. They stay in touch with
opportunities through us to ensure confidentiality. Why would Top 5
marketing companies pay us for the recruitment and placement of over 400
successful hires when they could hire them on their own. The smart and
proactive companies understand how to outpace the pack when it comes to

I have spoken to Reliant,TXU, AEP, Coral, El Paso, and Aquila about buying the supply we have in storage. They have either told me they don't have any interest in buying it or they just don't respond. Centana is willing to buy the inventory if we will pay for the gas we received in December off of MRT. I have gotten Shemin Proctor's opinion on the situation (see attached). I would like to move forward and settle these issues with Duke/Centana. I have also included estimated cash flows on the transactions. Thoughts?

Guys, currently we have two meetings a week between the business unit heads
to discuss deal flow and communicate issues and opportunties - the Monday
morning meeting and the Friday managing director meeting. I would suggest
that we eliminate both these meetings. I would propose that we replace them
with a single Friday afternoon meeting from 2:30PM to 4:00PM. The business
unit heads identified above would be invited. At this meeting, I would
expect less of a reporting focus and employ a more candid and detailed
discussion of opportunities, problems and issues between the "partners" in
this company. It would include (i) a review of current DASH's, (ii) a more
detailed discussion around the opportunities identified on the "Hot Sheet",
(iii) a more candid discussion around the P&L and tactics required to meet
overall financial targets and (iv) provide a forum to provide input into and
communicate business strategies between the business units. In other words,
employ the goals of the Friday managing director meeting with all the
business unit leaders represented.
Given the religious holidays this week, there will be no meeting this
Friday. I would suggest that we have a regular Monday morning meeting next
Monday and we will start this new forum a week from this Friday. This
meeting would be held in 30C1 and Monterrey, Calgary and Portland should be
connected via video conference. In order for this to work and be effective,
the business unit heads need to be available and participate actively in the
discussion.
If you have questions, comments or concerns do not hesitate to let me know.
Regards
