The previously approved 6 include some that should not have been approved (e.g., London Electric) and have subsequently come off the list. Additionally, my recollection is that we agreed on 25 for EOL at the discussion in Houston. Credit and Legal Europe have approved that there is only one list, either we can trade it or not. I have yet to understand why this may not be true for legal in the states but if there is some difficulty in approving additional US credits for the launch, we can replace these with European names to get up to the full 25. I am sure that Mark will be in contact with the office regardless of whether he is physically there or not. I will follow up first thing in the am Houston time. If we cannot track down Taylor, I will call Haedicke directly. bs David Forster 05/03/2000 18:46 To: Bryan Seyfried/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Mark Taylor/HOU/ECT@ECT, Paul Simons/LON/ECT@ECT, Edmund Cooper/LON/ECT@ECT, Debbie R Brackett/HOU/ECT@ECT, David Weekes/LON/ECT@ECT, William S Bradford/HOU/ECT@ECT, Rod Nelson/HOU/ECT@ECT, Mark Dilworth/LON/ECT@ECT, David Forster/HOU/ECT@ECT, Martin McDermott/LON/ECT@ECT, John Metzler/LON/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: Reference credits Bryan, I believe Mark Taylor is out of the office until Wednesday.

How kind of you and Enron to think about employees like myself who have lost a beloved family member and who are having a hard time during this holiday season. Dr. Williams' session below was very helpful, and I ran into 3 fellow employees that I work with that I didn't even know were going through a similar situation. Thank you very much. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ---------------------- Forwarded by Marie Newhouse/Corp/Enron on 12/07/2000 06:05 PM --------------------------- From: Corporate Benefits 12/04/2000 08:07 PM Sent by: Enron Announcements To: All Enron Downtown cc: Subject: Brown Bag - Dr. Kelly Williams

We missed you guys at the demo on Tuesday. I had some questions on the OUA & password application: 1) On the HPL Online password application: I would be in favor of not including the check verification regarding exchange or view access. 2) On the OUA: In the third & fourth paragraph on page 1, it mentions that counterparty has an existing transportation service contract with HPL. Some Operators on HPL may not have a service agreement with HPL. It also mentions service contracts in section #1 and section #4. 3) On the OUA: In section #7 - Confidentiality, a reference is made to 6(b). I could not find a 6(b) anywhere in the document. Also in section #8 - General, a reference is made to 6(e) and 7(e). I could not find either anywhere. Other than the above items, both doc's look real good. thanks for your help. mve Eric Gillaspie 11/15/2000 09:10 AM To: Michael Eiben/HOU/ECT@ECT, Edward D Gottlob/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Gerald Nemec/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: HPL Online Nomination User Agreement and Password Application Gentlemen, Attached for your review and comment is the DRAFT Online User Agreement and Password Application for HPL's Online Nomination-Information Exchange Website.

Day 16 is not valid for deal 51862 (track id 6155), which is where 10,000 was confirmed. The actual sale to Adonis was 10,000 which was invoiced and paid by Adonis. We are trying to clear the feedback error report. My question is why was 10,000 confirmed on 1/16/99 if the date is not valid for the deal? When Karen allocates the actual 10,000 it is prorating 5,000 for each day that is confirmed (the 5th and 16th). Should the whole 10,000 be allocated to the 5th or should 5,000 be allocated to each day? If 5,000 should be allocated to each day, the 16th needs to be added to the deal.

We are pleased to inform you that you are the winning bidder on one or more lots in our 2000/06/04 auction. IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE! It provides you with instructions on how to ensure that your wine is shipped according to your instructions, with the lowest risk of loss or breakage in shipment. YOU MUST RETURN A SEPARATE CONFIRMATION FOR EACH AUCTION IN WHICH YOU HAVE WINNING BIDS. Below you will find an invoice for the lots you won in this auction, along with the estimated charges for shipping, packaging and insurance. Follow these steps to expedite your order: 1. PRINT OUT THIS EMAIL. 2. VERIFY THAT YOUR BILLING AND SHIPPING ADDRESSES ARE SHOWN CORRECTLY, or make any necessary changes to them. Choose your shipping address carefully -- although we use our best efforts to ship your wine when weather conditions are favorable, winebid.com is not responsible for damage caused by exposure to heat or cold. Please also note any special shipping instructions. 3. INDICATE YOUR PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will charge the credit card number you have on file with us as of the close of the auction. If you have changed your credit card since please let us know. If you would prefer to send a check or use a wire transfer, please see the procedure for doing so below. 4. IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST PURCHASE of wine from winebid.com, please make a copy of your proof of age and mail it to winebid.com, P.O. Box 2550, Napa, CA 94558 with your shipping authorization. 5. FAX THE PRINTED CONFIRMATION TO 877-921-3733, or mail it to winebid.com, P.O. Box 2550, Napa, CA 94558. AS WE MUST PAY OUR SELLERS IN A TIMELY MANNER, IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE YOUR SIGNED CONFIRMATION WITHIN 20 DAYS OF THE AUCTION CLOSE YOUR CREDIT CARD ON FILE WILL BE CHARGED. HOWEVER WE CAN NOT SHIP YOUR WINE UNTIL WE RECEIVE YOUR SIGNED CONFIRMATION AND PROOF OF AGE! Once we've received your faxed confirmation, we will charge your credit card for the hammer price of the wine, the 12.5% premium, sales tax, if applicable, and shipping insurance. We will charge the shipping and handling when the wine is actually shipped. If you have purchased wine from both our West Coast and Midwest storage and service facilities, we will transfer the wine to the facility closest to your shipping address by temperature-controlled truck to consolidate your shipment. Following are answers to some common questions regarding our service and our procedures after the auction has closed: HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SHIP MY WINE? Because of the complexity in sorting individual bottles from hundreds of consignors for shipment to thousands of different customers, as well as the time it takes to transfer wine between our facilities, please allow two to three weeks after we receive your faxed confirmation before expecting shipment. If you have an urgent need for the wine, please drop us an email at [email protected] and we'll attempt to accommodate your request. Please also see the information on weather below. WHAT ABOUT TEMPERATURE ISSUES? Prior to shipping any wine, winebid.com's customer service staff checks the weather forecast at our shipping facility and at your delivery zip code. If the forecast is too warm or too cold, we will hold the shipment until the weather is more favorable. We only ship second day air shipments during the first half of the week, so your wine won't sit in the shipper's warehouse over the weekend. For older vintages or very high value wines, we recommend that you arrange to pick up the wine at one of our facilities, or use a ground carrier with temperature-controlled trucks to minimize the risk of damage. Older corks have a tendency to fail during air shipments. HOW IS MY WINE SHIPPED? We recommend the use of two-day service to ship your wines, to minimize the time the wine is exposed to temperature extremes on a truck or in a warehouse. If you would like to use next day service, or standard ground service, please let us know and we'll provide a revised estimate of shipping charges. All international shipments are sent by air. IS THE WINE INSURED? Yes. Winebid.com has found that UPS, FedEx, and other shippers frequently do not honor claims for damaged wine shipments, so we have purchased and arranged for outside insurance coverage and provide it to all of our customers at a rate of 1% of the hammer price of the wine. This insurance is mandatory, and is administrated by winebid.com. If your shipment suffers loss, damage or breakage, please contact our customer service department to make a claim. Our insurance does not cover claims of spoilage or damage from heat or cold during shipment. HOW CAN I SAVE MONEY ON FREIGHT CHARGES? We strongly recommend that fine and rare wines be shipped by air. Given the weight of wine, this can be expensive. If you would like us to use less expensive ground shipment, let us know. Also, if your purchase from this auction is for less than a full case, consider allowing us to store your wine until it can be combined with purchases from future auctions to make a single, larger shipment. Sending multiple shipments of one or two bottles at a time is far less efficient than shipping full case lots. ############## INVOICE 20093003 ### 2000/06/04 ########### Michael McKeogh (110574) Daytime Tel:(504) 524-3996 Fax Number:(504) 524-3019 E-mail:[email protected] Billing: Michael McKeogh 601 Poydras, Suite 2421 New Orleans, LA 70130 Shipping: Michael McKeogh Sara Shackleton 3915 Coleridge Houston, TX 77005 Special Instructions: Visa [563126] LOT#: 1392 VINTAGE#: 1995 Size: 750ml bottle Kistler Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir ---> 1 @ $130 [563165] LOT#: 1431 VINTAGE#: 1993 Size: 750ml bottle Williams Selyem Allen Vineyard Pinot Noir ---> 1 @ $90 [563103] LOT#: 1369 VINTAGE#: 1994 Size: 750ml bottles Gary Farrell Pinot Noir ---> 1 @ $40 [563104] LOT#: 1370 VINTAGE#: 1994 Size: 750ml bottle Gary Farrell Pinot Noir ---> 1 @ $40 [563172] LOT#: 1438 VINTAGE#: 1997 Size: 750ml bottle Williams Selyem Olivet Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir ---> 1 @ $75 ------------------------------------------------------------------- $375.00 Sub-total $25.50 Shipping (UPS 2nd Day Rates) $6.00 Packing & Handling $0.00 Tax $50.63 Premium and 1% Shipping Insurance $457.13 Total Now Due 20093003-2000/06/04 Michael McKeogh (110574) Daytime Tel:(504) 524-3996 Fax Number:(504) 524-3019 E-mail:[email protected] SHIPPING POLICY: The primary means of distribution will be common carrier.

FYI - I believe that Shona will prove to be a great asset to Enron. We are following up on her leads for talent. --Sally ---------------------- Forwarded by Sally Beck/HOU/ECT on 05/25/2000 01:53 PM --------------------------- From: Shona Wilson @ ENRON 05/25/2000 09:00 AM To: Tony Vasut/HOU/ECT@ECT, Sally Beck/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: People to consider recruiting As requested, I've created a list of people who: have mentioned to me that they are interested in changing careers/companies or I think would be a great asset to Enron. I've jotted down what I know about each person and I hope you find it useful. I've organized it from most experienced to least experienced. If you would like to talk me about any of these people or ask me to contact them, just let me know. Andy Dunn - until 2 weeks ago he was a director in the PwC risk management practice. Due to a falling out between Andy and the partners (not client related), he left the firm. He is extremely well respected by both the audit and the non-audit personnel, and his leaving came as an unexpected surprise. I have worked with him on a number of occasions and would highly recommend him to Enron. The downside to Andy is that he lives in Denver, is used to travelling a lot, but, at the last time we spoke (a few months ago), is not interested in leaving Denver. His cell phone (if still in use) is 303 807 0040. Mark (Allan) Smith - Mark is in the PwC energy risk management practice in Houston. We worked very closely together throughout 1999 on projects for Coral Energy and Equiva trading. Prior to working at PwC, Mark was at BP for 15 years where he had many different roles (he worked as a crude trader, products trader, he worked in the risk management department, in the refinery itself as an engineer). Mark was excellent to work with. Clients are extremely impressed with his knowledge and background. I would highly recommend him for a leadership role at Enron. I spoke to him yesterday and he is interested in talking with you. His direct number is 713 356 4233. His cell phone number is 713 412 3890. Alan Beaton - senior manager KPMG's systems control group (IRM). He works with my husband. I know him on a personal basis. He is trying to find opportunities outside of the audit/consulting area (general line 713 319 2000). Marilyn Chee - She currently works for Equiva trading, manager in-charge of accounting for derivatives. Her role has expanded to encompass FAS 133 and all mtm accounting entries. She liases with all book heads (crude and all products). In the past, she worked in the Texaco internal audit department. She was my main contact at Equiva when I was at PwC. She is extremely diligent and very professional. I enjoyed working with her greatly and have to say she was one of the best people I have worked with in the capacity of a client/professional relationship. Marilyn has a lot of responsibilities at the alliance and is extremely well respected. She has had a difficult year as she is doing a job that should be done by 3+ people. She has mentioned to me that she is not happy about the fact that her load continues to increase, and has even mentioned finding another job. However, due to the fact that she is so well respected where she is, she may be difficult to recruit (713 277 6280). If you contact her I would not want my name associated with it due to the PwC/alliance relationship. Rebecca Crider - She has been working at Coral Energy for approximately a year, reporting to the VP of risk control. Before that she was an audit manager at AA. I have worked with her briefly and she seemed very conscientious. I do not know if she is looking or not, but its worth a try! (713 230 3000 general line). Kim Nelson - She is a manager in the risk group at AA, and just transferred over from KPMG. I have not met her, but I did hear that she is not doing what she had expected at AA. I don't know her number but you could reach her at the general AA line. Kevin Schroder - audit manager at KPMG in the energy department. I do not know him, but do know he is looking for opportunities outside the audit/consulting area (general line 713 319 2000). Keith Considine - He is currently a senior accountant at PwC. He is the best senior PwC Houston has, as well as probably one of the best people I have ever worked with (the top of his class). Although he only has 4 years of work experience (all at PwC), he performs in a manager capacity. He worked for me on the Coral Energy audit engagement and received an excellent evaluation from both myself and the partners (we all agreed that he is one of the best people any of us have seen or worked with). He is currently working on a project at one of PwC's clients to standardize their mid office processes . He definitely does not see himself as a long time employee of PwC, but is currently planning on staying there until he is promoted to manager. I actually recommended him for a promotion to manager at July 1 this year, but due to capacity issues, I don't expect that the promotion will be approved. Since I've only been with Enron a short time and would like to continue good relations with PwC, I would appreciate whoever contacts Keith to elude that it is someone else other than myself who gave you his name. His number is 713 356 5617. Dave Simpson - analyst at Koch Energy in Houston, has a degree in accounting and has work experience of about 9 months. He is very interested in leaving Koch. I know him on a person basis, but have not worked with him. He is a good guy and very likeable. I don't have his phone number, but should be reachable through the general number for Koch. Admin assistants Connie Shugart - she is currently working at PwC as an administrative assistant. She is also involved in recruiting experienced personnel for PwC's audit and internal audit service lines. She is very interested in Enron and has asked me a few times to get her a contact here. I have not worked directly with her but due to her close proximity to my office I talked to her a number of times and was very impressed. (713 356 4000 - general PwC number). Ellen Robertson - She is an administrative assistant who is looking to leave PwC. I have never worked with her, but she did come to ask me my opinion on how she should go about finding other work. (713 356 4000 PwC general line).

Ned, Regarding the Waha storage, the west desk does not have a strong need for this storage but we are always willing to show a bid based on the current summer/winter spreads and cycling value. The following assumptions were made to establish our bid: 5% daily injection capacity, 10% daily withdrawal capacity, 1% fuel (injection only), 0.01/MMBtu variable injection and withdrawal fees. Also an undiscounted June 01 to January 02 spread of $0.60 existed at the time of this bid. Bid for a 1 year storage contract beginning June 01 based on above assumptions: $0.05/ MMBtu/Month ($0.60/Year). Demand charges only. I am not sure if this is exactly what you need or not. Please call or email with comments. Phillip Allen

According to Todd Peterson of Enron Global LNG, exploitation of this opportunity has been the topic of some industry articles but no one, as far as we know, has constructed such a vessel. I did come across a proposed design for an LNG floating terminal by the Italian company,Tecnomare. I contacted them and they indicated that they have not built such a vessel. It is estimated that construction of such a vessel would take 2-3 years, and as one might imagine, achieving the required operational and environmental performance in such a vessel would be quite substantial. Attached is a link to a relatively brief description of the proposed vessel, http://www.tecnomare.it/marine/project/ling.htm Please let me know if any further research is needed. Charlie Weldon

On an ISDA I am reviewing, credit has asked that all indebtedness of the Canadian counterparty to its affiliates be subordinated to us (in this case ECC). Does anyone have access to a Canadian form of subordination agreement? I imagine that a fairly bare-bones form would suffice. Thanks -- Bob

FYI- Seabron, as most of you know, is a consultant for us... his thoughts on FERC price cap order. ---------------------- Forwarded by Richard Shapiro/NA/Enron on 04/26/2001 03:14 PM --------------------------- "Seabron Adamson" <[email protected]> on 04/26/2001 02:41:45 PM To: <[email protected]> cc: Subject: What's ahead for California Rick: A thought I keep coming back to is that a lot of this has to do with bad "market definition" - always the central problem in economic questions. California has gotten itself in a pickle partially because they have always looked at the market wrong - as California alone when it is really the West. It is like looking at the market for new automobiles "West of the Mississippi" - a pretty meaningless concept as cars are produced on either side of that artificial boundary, and are freely bought and sold across it. When you get the market definition wrong it is almost impossible to make head or tails of any situation - which the Cal ISO and Gray Davis's office have in fact failed to do. The current proposal will generally fail - the market will just clear outside California. It only acts as a form of price discrimination against the California generators, who will then presumably sue for restraint of interstate commerce. There is no way there are going voluntarily to agree to be "Participating Generators" in the Cal ISO's scheme. So the entire market will become "OOM". I think if the leadership had not been so abysmal on this there could have been a rational deal between the CA gov't and the generators that would have solved the basic problem, kept the lights on and minimized the economic damage to the California economy and the state's bond rating. But it hasn't happened, and Moody's now ranks California debt at 49th of the 50 states, only notch above Louisiana. This is going to cost California's citizens billions for years to come in higher borrowing costs, even for the normal expenditure of government such as highways and schools. Time for a timeout, and to regroup. Even the old regulatory process at the CPUC wasn't this bad... Speak to you next week.

I suppose you have been following the FERC California decision pretty closely. How CA gets integrated into a new RTO appears to be the key question.

Sunday evening, December 10, 2000 COMMENT: On December 5, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan spoke. He said that the "wealth effect" has been "significantly attenuated" thanks to the drop in stock prices. He also acknowledges that our economy "is obviously at increased risk of untoward events.." He is right, of course, and in a position to reduce this risk by easing monetary policy. Ironically, his latest speech follows by exactly four years the one in which the Fed Chairman famously asked, ".how do we know when irrational exuberance has unduly escalated asset values." More and more these days, I hear from various well-connected business sources that sales "fell off a cliff" since the summer. This is confirmed by the steep drop in consumer confidence during the first half of December and Intel's warning last week about sudden order cancellations. Despite this warning, large/mid/small cap tech stocks were up last week by 8.1%, 15.2%, and 9.9%, respectively. Could it be that the bad news is mostly in stocks and that the market is starting to anticipate Fed easing soon? I think so. SUBSCRIBERS: The risk is that Fed easing might not work to avert a recession this time. This "pushing-on-a-string" fear was frequently raised by Asian investors, who I met last week in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. Many of my friends in Japan see lots of disturbing parallels in the US today with their unhappy economic and financial experience during the previous decade. I reminded them that there are still 650 basis points left between the federal funds rate and zero. For more on this subject, see my latest GLOBAL PORTFOLIO STRATEGY. The topic for Monday's WEEKLY AUDIO FORUM: "Will US follow Japan's bubble script?" PUBLIC: You can decide for yourself whether it is too late for Fed officials to avert a recession, and how quickly they can get us out once they start to ease by tracking numerous KEY WEEKLY indicators on the HOME page. You'll find initial jobless claims, bank credit, mortgage applications, and more. In his latest speech, the Fed Chairman said he still believes that the secular rebound in productivity growth is intact. I agree. You can find his speech in the GREENSPAN CENTER and our updated (Dec 6) PRODUCTIVITY TRENDS chart book on the WHAT'S NEW page.

Hey there, Thanks for the pics. What a cutie. I like the first pic a lot. I'll IM ya later on this week. Today I started my first day at the Woodlands bakery. I was up at 4am and literally rolling dough by 5:10. Later today I had 2 fillings done and my dentist accidentally anesthisized the wrong side of my mouth...TWICE...bc we got to talking about baking and the first round of shots wore off....then after the second round he realized that he was working on the wrong side. Not good! You should tell this to Phillip. We have the same dentist. It was actually not too bad but I'm super groggy. Hope all is well at work. I can't believe the stock price.

Should the word "area" after "Waha" be capitalized? It's not capitalized in the Gas Daily publication - so to consistent with the publication I did not capitalize.

Rick: In addition to our normal activities related to board reporting, PortRAC maintenance, compliance and SWAT work, we have the following major project initiatives underway: DASH SPENDING CONTROLS - We are leading the team to develop an "AFE-type" cost accumulation system so that every project in Enron will have accurate and timely cost expenditure numbers to ensure that appropriate DASH's and approval levels have been obtained. BANKRUPTCY REPORTING DATA - We have taken responsibility for developing the reporting function for the new bankruptcy group. We are working with Michael T. and Credit to develop what data we need, where in the organization we get it and what kind of reports we generate with it. POST TRANSACTION REVIEWS - We will provide the primary resources to perform these Board mandated reviews. Paper mills, Garden State and Daishowa will be reviewed this quarter in conjuction with Underwriting. EES - We are working with Credit to monitor the EES project list as well as assisting them in some counterparty and credit scoring work related to EES's mass marketing effort. PortRAC ENHANCEMENTS - We have completed the executive demos with very positive comments about the functionality of the system. Some of them (including Louise Kitchen) commented that they missed their hard copy snapshots so we are enhancing PortRAC to make it easier to print an entire snapshot book for a business unit with the "push of a button". If you have any other "big" projects that you want us to tackle, please let me know. Thanks, Rick C.

Kevin, Good point with Naheola Energy Island, but this may also apply to several other energy projects that have occurred over the past two years. The Kzoo Steam Turbines, the RO Project at Marathon, etc... Also Kevin and Richard given the fact that Naheola was not a wholly owned asset by FJ (50%), but rather an LLP with another party (Utilico) - is this asset in any way exempt from the Alliance Agreement from FJ's perspective? Thanks David Kevin Hyatt wrote: > Look a paragraph 3.5 in the Alliance.

TAB C (Baseline) -- Baseline has updated its Business Overview of Enron Corp. and the new version has been approved by Mark Palmer. TAB E (CorpTech/OneSource) -- The listing questionnaire was faxed to Meredith last week to be updated and faxed directly back to CorpTech. TAB F (DJ Interactive) -- The data in the DJ report comes from Hoover's. I am currently working with Hoover's to update the Business Description in the DJ report. TAB G (D&B) -- An updated list of officers, directors, financials and the expanded business description has been sent to the update desk at D&B. It will probably take at least 3 weeks for the D&B report to be updated. TAB H (Extel Company Report) -- Extel is now reporting updated financials for Enron Corp. Extel is also in the process of updating the Activities and Management section of the report. TAB K (Hoover's) -- Hoover's is in the process of updating its list of Officers for Enron Corp. TAB M (Market Guide) -- Market Guide is in the process of changing the Company's name to Enron Corp. and is updating its Business Summary and list of Officers for the Company. In addition, we could have Enron moved into the Oil & Gas Operations Industry of the Energy Sector within Market Guide. The peer group members of this new classification have been sent over to Enron. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. TAB O (Multex) -- Multex is in the process of updating its Business Overview of Enron, which should include changing the size of Enron's assets to $33 billion and possibly including the Company's ranking within the Fortune 500. In addition, I am exploring if there is a more advantageous industry classification for Enron. Enron is currently classified in the Basic Energy industry sector and its peer group is Major Pipeline Companies. Dynegy's peer group is Major Oil & Gas Gathering & Marketing Companies -- perhaps this is a more appropriate classification for Enron. Please let me know that you think. TAB R (Quicken) -- Quicken obtains its data from Media General Financial Services. I have spoken with an analyst at Media General and he has updated the Descriptor for Enron: "Delivers physical commodities and financial and risk management services to customers; develops, constructs and operates energy facilities worldwide; produces electricity and natural gas; and is developing a network platform to facilitate on line business." The new descriptor should appear on Quicken.com within the next several days. In addition, I am working with the analyst to develop a more appropriate Industry classification for Enron. Media General currently classifies Enron as a Basic Materials Wholesale company. TAB S (Reuters MoneyNet) -- The data on this service is provided by Market Guide (TAB M). TAB T (Reuters Business Briefing) -- Reuters is in the process of updating the Activities section for Enron, which includes changing the Company's name to Enron Corp.; changing the IR contact to Mark Koenig; and updating the number of employees at the Company. TAB W (Value Line) -- Work in progress. I will give the both of you a call tomorrow to discuss the next steps of the project. Michael

Enron taps credit line; stock slides 10/27/2001 Associated Press Newswires Copyright 2001. The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. HOUSTON (AP) - After Enron Corp. tapped into more than $3 billion in credit in an effort to boost confidence of investors and customers, stock prices dropped. Enron Corp.'s stock price hit its lowest point in more than five years Friday. Shares fell 95 cents on Friday to $15.40, a level not seen since 1995, as analysts continued to muddle through a complicated series of bookkeeping issues revealed after the company's earnings announcement earlier this month. The stock is down more than 50 percent in two weeks, and the company lost almost $14 billion in market value. Late this week the company decided to convert $3 billion in revolving credit it has through various banks into cash. The company put about $1.1 billion in the bank in an effort to reassure business partners and investors of its liquidity and is using the $2.2 billion balance to begin an orderly repurchase of a certain kind of short-term corporate IOU known as commercial paper. "Nothing spells confidence quite like cash, which is what we want investors to understand," said Enron spokesman Mark Palmer of the $1.1 billion banked this week. Palmer could neither confirm nor deny that the company is negotiating further lines of credit with banks but described such actions as "good management decisions." On Oct. 16 Enron's third-quarter earnings release drew renewed attention to an issue investors and analysts had previously been unhappy about: Then-Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow, with the Enron board's approval, had formed and run two investment partnerships that could have created a conflict of interest. The partnerships, LJM Cayman and LJM2 Co-Investment, did complex financing and hedging deals with Enron. Fastow had resigned from his roles in the partnerships months ago when Wall Street began to question whether he could watch out for the interests of Enron's shareholders and the investment partnership simultaneously. But last week when the company reported a $35 million loss related to ending its LJM ties as well as a $1.2 billion reduction in shareholder equity, new questions began to arise. The Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Enforcement launched an informal inquiry into the partnerships, and earlier this week Fastow was put on a leave of absence. Reducing the company's debt exposure through commercial paper and putting it back into more traditional financial tools, like a revolving line of credit, could give great peace of mind to Enron's investors, said Anatol Feygin, an analyst with J.P. Morgan. "It helps them shore up their support behind their energy trading business, which is really the core of their operations," Feygin told the Houston Chronicle for Saturday's editions. Carol Coale, an analyst with Prudential Securities, still sees the move as somewhat confusing. "Just last week they were touting their unused lines of credit as a plus, but the fact that they tapped those now sends a strange, mixed message," she said. "Do they need the cash to keep the rating agencies off their back? Is it a gesture for customers? It first struck me as another one of these strangely timed actions on the part of management." ..................................................................................................................................... BARRON'S: REVIEW & PREVIEW 10/27/2001 Capital Markets Report (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) Turning Up the Heat: Energy trader Enron ousted its chief financial officer days after it said the SEC was conducting an inquiry into billions of dollars of transactions it made with entities tied to the CFO, Andrew S. Fastow. Enron said Fastow took a leave of absence to restore investor confidence. Enron shares have plunged 50% recently, after it announced the probe and reported a $618 million loss. BARRON'S: The Trader 10/27/2001 Dow Jones Commodities Service (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) Bulls Look To Recovery, As Techs Lead The Surge By Andrew Barry -- In what undoubtedly will become a business-school case study, Enron let potentially containable concerns about some asset writedowns and a formerly obscure group of partnerships mushroom into a full-blown financial crisis last week. Enron's stock plunged 10.60 to 15.45, following a 10-point drop in the prior week, and the company's bonds fell sharply as yields rose to junk levels of around 10%. By week's end, Enron had drawn down $3 billion in bank credit lines to pay off nearly $2 billion in maturing commercial paper, leaving it only about $1 billion of net liquidity. Enron's big energy trading operation, which accounts for the bulk of the company's profits and most of its equity valuation, now may be vulnerable because it hinges on a solid credit rating and the confidence of trading counterparties. Enron faces potential debt downgrades from the major rating agencies, but the company is likely to remain an investment-grade credit. Moody's Investors Service now rates its debt Baa1, three notches above junk. One doomsday scenario is that counterparties on existing Enron trades, concerned about Enron's viability, push for settlement of the trades, precipitating the kind of liquidity crisis that engulfed Long-Term Capital Management in 1998. Despite entreaties by friendly Wall Street analysts to come clean about its financial situation, Enron has resisted, refusing to disclose the size of potential liabilities involving Enron-created partnerships whose debt is guaranteed by Enron. Enron called a conference call Tuesday to clear the air, but it ended up compounding its problems by failing to answer questions posed by a Boston investor about the Marlin partnership, leaving Wall Street with the clear impression that the company faces a nearly $1 billion loss on that deal. Some suspect that Enron stonewalling is motivated by fears that further disclosure will expose the inadequacy of the asset coverage behind its partnerships and thus significant Enron liabilities that will impair the company's credit ratings. There may also be the need for potential writedowns of various Enron assets, including its money-losing broadband business. Enron now trades at only a slight premium to its second-quarter book value of $13 a share, but it's worth noting that tangible book, excluding goodwill, was only $9 a share. Book value fell in the third quarter by an undetermined about because of Enron's $1 billion asset writedown and its still-mysterious $1.2 billion reduction in shareholder equity related to one of its partnerships. The third-quarter book value won't be known until Enron releases its balance sheet, which may not occur until its quarterly 10-Q is released. The Enron situation is another black eye for Wall Street research. The company was a Street favorite for years because of its strong and consistent profit growth. Enron was able to get away with providing minimal disclosure about its energy trading activities and its partnerships because analysts and investors didn't demand it. The Enron bull case essentially boiled down to the company's leadership in the booming energy trading markets and analysts' confidence in management. The Street really didn't provide much more insight than that into a company that at one point had a $75 billion valuation. That value has since shrunk to $14 billion. Enron's woes also show how equity analysts pay too little attention to company balance sheets. Until last week, Enron analysts still were more focused on earnings dilution than the more important issue of Enron's financial health. Enron had about $15 billion in debt and preferred stock outstanding at the end of the second quarter and an undetermined amount of guaranteed off-balance-sheet debt. Enron clearly ignored the importance of its balance sheet, allowing it to grow enormously over the past few years. Judging from the company's rather meager credit lines, Enron apparently figured nobody would ever doubt the financial strength of the king of the energy markets. ..................................................................................................................................... City - Enron directors cash in shares. By Simon English. 10/27/2001 The Daily Telegraph P31 (c) Telegraph Group Limited, London, 2001 LEADING executives at Enron, the troubled US energy giant, cashed in shares worth more than $100m ( #70m) this year in the run-up to a financial crunch that has left the company's credibility in ruins. Research by Thomson Financial shows that Kenneth Lay, chief executive, sold about 400,000 shares this year, netting him more than $25m. He still held 2.8m shares until July. Other executives made similar sales, a revelation likely to anger investors who have seen the shares fall from $83 at the start of the year to $45 by July. They halved again this week and fell to below $16 yesterday. Enron declined to comment on the share sales. Mr Lay said in a statement that he is seeking to "dispel uncertainty in the financial community" by drawing on lines of credit to restore faith in Enron's financial strength. Enron will pay off debts of $2.2 billion and keep another $800,000 in cash. He said: "We know we have our work cut out for us if we are to rebuild our credibility with the investment community." The company is facing an inquiry by the Securities & Exchange Commission into partnerships managed by Andrew Fastow, former chief financial officer. Mr Fastow was ousted on Wednesday night as part of the company's moves to restore confidence, though Enron insists he has done nothing wrong. Enron lost $1 billion in the third quarter on what it has called "failed investments". ..................................................................................................................................... MONEY Briefcase BRIEFCASE 10/27/2001 Orlando Sentinel METRO B1 (Copyright 2001 by The Orlando Sentinel) ENRON STOCK SINKS TO 5-YEAR LOW Energy trading giant Enron Corp., its stocks hammered by a potential credit crunch and its chief financial officer's ouster, fell to its lowest close in more than five years on Friday. The fall was sparked by word of a big quarterly loss and a Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry into the ousted CFO's links to some of Enron's partnerships. Enron stock closed at $15.50, off 85 cents or 5.2 percent, on the New York Stock Exchange. ..................................................................................................................................... Enron Taps Credit Line; Stock Slides Tom Fowler 10/27/2001 KRTBN Knight-Ridder Tribune Business News: Houston Chronicle - Texas Copyright (C) 2001 KRTBN Knight Ridder Tribune Business News; Source: World Reporter (TM) Enron Corp.'s stock price hit its lowest point in more than five years Friday after it tapped into more than $3 billion in revolving credit in an effort to re-assure investors and customers.

But last week when the company reported a $35 million loss related to ending its LJM ties as well as a $1.2 billion reduction in shareholder equity, new questions began to arise. Analysts began to demand more details behind the workings of the partnerships, details that Enron did not provide as quickly as some would have liked. Enron Chief Executive Officer Ken Lay told analysts and investors the company was careful to ensure that the interests of Enron and its shareholders were protected, but The Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Enforcement launched an informal inquiry into the partnerships, and earlier this week Fastow was put on a leave of absence. In drawing down the $3.3 billion line of revolving credit this week, the company put about $1.1 billion in the bank to ensure liquidity and is using the balance to begin an orderly repurchase of its commercial paper. Now Enron will begin repurchasing its commercial paper. This is a way for companies to raise money over a short period at rates that are usually slightly better than what banks offer, and often with more flexible terms. Investors in commercial paper -- who are actually more like lenders, since it's actually a form of debt -- are often fund managers who often have large sums of extra cash in search of short-term investments. The investors like commercial paper because it lets them earn money on cash that would sit idle otherwise and lets them do it through something issued only by companies with top credit ratings and usually backed by bank lines of credit. "To some extent, redeeming the commercial paper is at the expense of the capital markets, which look at it negatively," said Anatol Feygin, an analyst with J.P. Morgan. But reducing the company's debt exposure through commercial paper and putting it back into more traditional financial tools, like a revolving line of credit, could give great peace of mind to Enron's investors, he said. "It helps them shore up their support behind their energy trading business, which is really the core of their operations," Feygin said. Carol Coale, an analyst with Prudential Securities, still sees the move as somewhat confusing. "Just last week they were touting their unused lines of credit as a plus, but the fact that they tapped those now sends a strange, mixed message," she said. "Do they need the cash to keep the rating agencies off their back? Is it a gesture for customers? It first struck me as another one of these strangely timed actions on the part of management." Jeff Dietert, an analyst at Simmons & Co., said Enron management needs to continue to make clear the issues that have investors confused and concerned. In a worst-case scenario, investor fears could create a vicious cycle that continues to drive the stock down, which would force bond rating agencies to consider downgrades of Enron. That could lead to lower credit ratings, which would force Enron's energy trading partners to limit their exposure to the company and cut back on business with it. "Thus, we see a big incentive for Enron to clarify the issues," Dietert wrote in a report Friday. "Our gut feel is that Enron can pull it off." Feygin said he also believes the company will continue to do better in revealing its financial dealings but thinks there may be more surprises in store. For example, a Wall Street Journal article Friday discussed for the first time another business entity with ties to Enron known as Chewco. It was formed in 1997 with about $400 million in financial backing to buy interests in unnamed Enron assets. Chewco was run by Michael Kopper, a managing director of Enron's Global Equity Markets Group. "Frankly, that was the first time I had ever heard of that entity," Feygin said. "Until now, everything that's come out I've at least heard of or had some idea of what they were from the company's filings or discussions. This is something I had never heard of before." .....................................................................................................................................

An Enron spokesman said that when the commercial paper repurchases are completed the company will retain more than $1 billion in cash. The moves did not appear to reassure investors, as Enron's share price fell to another six-year low. Shares traded as low as $15.04 yesterday, before ending the day at $15.40, down 95 cents. The move will raise the interest expense for the company, because banks normally charge more than companies have to pay in the commercial paper market, and because its outstanding debt will rise by the additional $1 billion.

Business; Financial Desk Enron Decline Continues Bloomberg News 10/27/2001 Los Angeles Times Home Edition C-2 Copyright 2001 / The Times Mirror Company HOUSTON -- Enron Corp. bonds and shares fell after the largest energy trader tapped a $3-billion credit line because it has been shut out of the leading market for low-interest, short-term loans. The company's stock has fallen 54% in the last 14 days after investors questioned its transactions with affiliates run by Enron's former chief financial officer. The shares fell 95 cents, or 5.8%, to $15.40 on the New York Stock Exchange. Investors said Chief Executive Kenneth Lay has failed to reassure them that the company's credit rating won't be cut. Enron can no longer borrow in commercial paper markets, where short-term loans carry lower rates than banks offer. "Do they have the financial flexibility they once had? No," said John Cassady, who helps manage $3 billion in bonds at Fifth Third Bancorp. "People are questioning the credibility of management." The company will use its credit line to pay off $2.2 billion in commercial paper it has outstanding, Enron spokesman Mark Palmer said. The price of Enron's 6.75% bonds, which mature in 2009, declined 11/2 points to a bid of 84 cents on the dollar and an offer of 86 cents. At that price, the bonds, which carry a rating of BBB+, yield 9.53%. Investors have grown concerned that the firm's credit rating will be cut after $1.01 billion in third-quarter losses from failed investments. Enron needs good credit to raise cash daily to keep trading partners from demanding collateral and to settle transactions. Enron's decision to tap its credit line was "a smart financial move," said Stephen Moore of Moody's Investors Service. "It took away the hassle and time-consuming nature of rolling commercial paper and insured access to capital." .....................................................................................................................................

This was written by Miami-Herald Columnist Leonard Pitts, an African American) _______ We'll go forward from this moment by Leonard Pitts It's my job to have something to say. They pay me to provide words that help make sense of that which troubles the American soul. But in this moment of airless shock when hot tears sting disbelieving eyes, the only thing I can find to say, the only words that seem to fit, must be addressed to the unknown author of this suffering. You monster. You beast. You unspeakable bastard. What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward's attack on our World Trade Center, our Pentagon, us? What was it you hoped we would learn? Whatever it was, please know that you failed. Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned your cause. Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve. Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us together. Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and quarrelsome family, a family rent by racial, social, political and class division, but a family nonetheless. We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending tremendous emotional energy on pop cultural minutiae -- a singer's revealing dress, a ball team's misfortune, a cartoon mouse. We're wealthy, too, spoiled by the ready availability of trinkets and material goods, and maybe because of that, we walk through life with a certain sense of blithe entitlement. We are fundamentally decent, though -- peace-loving and compassionate. We struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith, believers in a just and loving God. Some people -- you, perhaps -- think that any or all of this makes us weak. You're mistaken. We are not weak. Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be measured by arsenals. IN PAIN Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we are in shock. We're still grappling with the unreality of the awful thing you did, still working to make ourselves understand that this isn't a special effect from some Hollywood blockbuster, isn't the plot development from a Tom Clancy novel. Both in terms of the awful scope of their ambition and the probable final death toll, your attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism in the history of the United States and, probably, the history of the world. You've bloodied us as we have never been bloodied before. But there's a gulf of difference between making us bloody and making us fall. This is the lesson Japan was taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone hit us this hard, the last time anyone brought us such abrupt and monumental pain. When roused, we are righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force. When provoked by this level of barbarism, we will bear any suffering, pay any cost, go to any length, in the pursuit of justice. I tell you this without fear of contradiction. I know my people, as you, I think, do not. What I know reassures me. It also causes me to tremble with dread of the future. In the days to come, there will be recrimination and accusation, fingers pointing to determine whose failure allowed this to happen and what can be done to prevent it from happening again. There will be heightened security, misguided talk of revoking basic freedoms. We'll go forward from this moment sobered, chastened, sad. But determined, too. Unimaginably determined. THE STEEL IN US You see, the steel in us is not always readily apparent. That aspect of our character is seldom understood by people who don't know us well. On this day, the family's bickering is put on hold. As Americans we will weep, as Americans we will mourn, and as Americans, we will rise in defense of all that we cherish. So I ask again: What was it you hoped to teach us? It occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred. If that's the case, consider the message received. And take this message in exchange: You don't know my people. You don't know what we're capable of. You don't know what you just started. But you're about to learn.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Power juggling ramped up price Insiders say manipulation also strained equipment Christian Berthelsen, Scott Winokur, Chronicle Staff Writers Sunday, May 20, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Large power companies have driven up electricity prices in California by throttling their generators up and down to create artificial shortages, according to dozens of interviews with regulators, lawyers and energy industry workers. Those sources say the unusual maneuvers not only jacked up prices but also wore down equipment and contributed to the record levels of plant shutdowns that are depriving the state of much-needed electricity. The accounts are supported by an independent review of shutdown data by The Chronicle. The California Energy Commission calculates that an average of 14,990 megawatts of generating capacity, nearly a third of the state's total, was unavailable each day in April because of plant shutdowns, more than four times as much as a year ago. Such shutdowns are the subject of increasing scrutiny as California enters another period of high demand, the warm spring and summer months of May to September, when electricity usage normally grows by a third. Loretta Lynch, president of the California Public Utilities Commission, said last week the agency has found considerable evidence of suspicious plant shutdowns. And the California Independent System Operator, which manages the state's power grid, says plant shutdowns have now become the primary means of constricting supply. But an extensive investigation by The Chronicle has found that not only were generators shut down to boost prices but these "gaming" tactics contributed to the plants' deteriorating condition. "We suspected it," said Jim MacIntosh, the manager of grid operations for the ISO. "It was a sure factor in driving up prices." Such swings in unit output, he said, "would only make sense in a scenario when they're trying to game something. Otherwise, why would they do that? They're tearing their units up." Unusual phone calls Operators at a San Bernardino County power plant owned by Reliant Energy Inc. say a complex plan to manipulate the California energy market began early last year with a series of unusual telephone calls from the company's headquarters in Houston. According to the accounts of three plant operators, Reliant's operations schedulers on the energy trading floor ordered them to repeatedly decrease, then increase output at the 1,046-megawatt Etiwanda plant. This happened as many as four or five times an hour. Each time the units were ramped down and electricity production fell, plant employees watched on a control room computer screen as spot market energy prices rose. Then came the phone call to ramp the units back up. "They would tell us what to do, and we would do it," said one of the men, who only agreed to speak on condition they not be identified because they fear being fired. "Afterward, we would just sit there and watch the market change." The workers said frequent and large swings in electricity output began at a number of California power plants just as the state's power crisis began in earnest. The workers and state power authorities assert the swings were one of the primary means of gaming the wholesale energy market. "It appears the control rooms are responsive to direction from the trading floors in Houston, rather than the reliability needs of the ISO," said Carl Wood, a commissioner with the utilities commission who is overseeing that agency's investigation into plant outages. "Instead of being responsive to demands for reliability, they're responsive to demands for profitability." Corporate denial Reliant officials adamantly deny using this tactic or any other mechanism to game the California energy market. They and other power companies, including AES Corp. and a partnership between NRG Energy Inc. and Dynegy Inc., have asserted that skyrocketing electricity demand forced them to run aging, decrepit power plants harder than ever to meet California's needs. While acknowledging that the company issued changes in output levels as frequently as every 10 minutes, company officials said it was done at the instructions of the ISO to maintain supply-demand balance. "As a part of routinely doing business within California and the California market design, we are required to do that," said Kevin Frankeny, an operations official with Reliant. "When the ISO (issues dispatch orders), they dispatch on a 10-minute basis. It can go up and down many times within an hour." Frankeny said he was not aware of any instances in which Reliant schedulers in Houston ordered dispatch changes without the ISO directing them to do it first. The ISO refused to comment on operations at any specific facility, but Stephanie McCorkle, an ISO spokeswoman, said the ramping tactics were used beyond dispatch instructions during periods of tight supply. And one of the plant operators said the orders to vary output came independently of the grid managers. "ISO was not calling Reliant every 10 minutes for that," said one of the operators. "Not for an individual unit." Officials with the California attorney general's office declined to comment on the legality of the ramping practice, citing a continuing investigation into whether wholesale energy prices are being manipulated. One source familiar with the state of various inquiries said the ramping, if proved to have been done to drive up prices, could violate the state's unfair business practices laws. Invisible practice How could companies such as Reliant tinker with output and not get caught? One of the plant workers said the practice was designed to be virtually invisible to regulators and grid operators. When power companies bid on hourly contracts, they agree to produce a certain amount of electricity over the given hour. Generators are paid based on an average of the spot market prices for that hour. By driving up the spot price, they can increase their hourly profits and still produce the total amount of energy required. The plant worker said the units would be ramped down immediately after their output measurement, which was performed at the top of each hour by the ISO. Then, he said, it was brought back up as the spot market price of electricity rose in response to the reduced output. By the time the ISO measured again, the output was back at the expected level. Another operator said the units were not always ramped up and down - that if the price reached a satisfactory level, generators would raise output and remain at that level as long as the price was right. Other times, if the price was low, output was brought down and kept down. The same operator said the amount of ramping appeared to be a matter of individual will of the company schedulers in Houston, with some being more aggressive than others. "What they would do, especially late at night, is if the price tanked, they would undergenerate," an operator said. "Then, mysteriously, the price would go up. "Then, if the schedule was at 70 (required megawatt hours of output), they'd say, 'Go up to 90.' That would cause the price to tank. And they'd say, 'Bring it down again.' " Rapid changes These fluctuations occurred within time spans of as little as 10 to 15 minutes, the operators said. But acceptable rates for bringing a unit from minimum to maximum levels when the plant was owned by Southern California Edison were more like 80 minutes, to avoid stressing the machinery, one of the workers said. Moreover, they were typically run at constant levels, which also reduced wear and tear. "They were basically ramping up as fast as they can, and then slamming the brakes on," said one of the operators. "They were increasing the fatigue on the units." ISO officials say they changed market operations last fall to crack down on gaming tactics, including instituting a so-called 10-minute market, rather than the hourly market, so that it could be more easily detected when companies were withholding power. But the ISO says generator outages have now become the primary tactic in driving up energy prices. A computer analysis by The Chronicle of shutdown data over a recent 39-day period shows Reliant and three other generating companies topped the list of plant shutdowns. Reliant also represented the largest amount of wattage lost among those companies. Plants owned by Reliant, AES, Mirant Corp. and Duke Energy Inc. accounted for more than half of the state's unplanned shutdowns, even though their generating capacity was no more than 25 percent of the state's total capacity from all sources. Reliant, one of California's largest and most profitable out-of-state generators, reported 319 shutdowns during the period in March and April. It was followed by Mirant Corp. of Atlanta (310), AES Corp. of Arlington, Va. (278) and Duke Energy North America of Charlotte, N.C. (261). Reliant's unplanned shutdowns deprived the system of more than 53,000 megawatts over the 40-day period, an average of 1,368 per day - enough power for 1.4 million homes for one hour. Its Ormond Beach plant in Oxnard, with one generating unit down for 26 days, accounted for more than 30,000 of those missed megawatts. However, an operator who worked in that plant said the outages there appeared to be the result of legitimate equipment failures. Reliant says there are valid reasons for its plants now to be in need of repair. They are old: At 48, Etiwanda is the oldest of Reliant's five California plants. And the company says routine maintenance was deferred so the plants could remain in service during times of high summer demand. But the operators said the issue is not so clear-cut. One problem at Etiwanda, a tube leak, had been present for about a month and was previously reported to management, they said, but it had not deteriorated much, it was operating at full capacity and there was no immediate need to take the unit offline because of the problem. Moreover, at the time of the shutdown, the ISO had expressly asked Reliant to keep the unit online, the operators said. Richard Wheatley, a spokesman for Reliant, denied that any Reliant unit was taken offline for unnecessary maintenance. Ramping may be rampant Sources say Reliant was not alone in using the ramping practice. A source familiar with the state utilities commission investigation said output logs obtained from AES' Alamitos plant also reflected production fluctuations. And an operator who has worked at the El Segundo plant co-owned by NRG and Dynegy said the practice was used there, although less frequently. The scheduling calls came from Dynegy's trading floor in Houston, rather than NRG in Minneapolis, he said. Steve Stengel, a spokesman for Dynegy, said changes in output at El Segundo were a normal function of changing demand levels throughout the day, and denied the company was engaged in gaming the California market. In a May 2000 report, the California Energy Commission cited Reliant's Etiwanda plant, as well as the Alamitos and El Segundo plants, as some of the "major beneficiaries of high real-time prices" that spring. One way to obtain those high prices, the plant workers said, was the simple method of demanding a sky-high price and refusing to deliver power if that price was not met. On one occasion, one operator said, Reliant ordered a unit at Etiwanda to be shut off because the ISO would not meet the price of $1,000 per megawatt hour, even though the legal price cap at the time was $750. "The operator said, 'It's our unit, shut it off,' " the source said. E-mail Christian Berthelsen at [email protected] and Scott Winokur at [email protected].

As you know we have done little with the Bank since Trakya. We intended to use the Bank for Dabhol 2 but were prevented to by sanctions imposed against India. Joe is now on the EXIM Advisory Committee so it would be a good opportunity to sit down with the Bank. I understand that Ken has received a letter from EXIM about the meeting and referred it to Joe. I would propose that Joe lead the meeting with some of the regional finance people (parallel the Munoz schedule, but shorter) with a brief courtesy call on Ken or Ken could step in for a moment whenever he is available. I will check with Pam re Joe's availability and follow up with a memo re the market window initiative with EXIM where my office is heavily involved.

If we have the following information, a CA can typically be generated on a same day basis: name, address of counterparty, including name of contact person type of deal contemplated what type of information is being provided whether both parties are providing information whether exclusivity/non-circumvention provisions are desired Thanks, Kay Rusty Stevens 02/14/2001 03:06 PM To: Kathleen Carnahan/NA/Enron@Enron, Kay Mann/Corp/Enron@Enron cc: Fred Mitro/HOU/ECT@ECT, Ben Jacoby/HOU/ECT@ECT, Scott Healy/SF/ECT@ECT Subject: Confidentiality Agreements Kathleen / Kay: As you know, Fred and I are continuing to engage various parties in an attempt to sell the Illinois sites. Scott has asked that we use a CA that doesn't preclude States where we have sites he is trying to sell as we are collaborating with him on this effort. He also wants a document in place that can cover the sale of equipment. In talking to Fred, it appears that the Dynegy CA is the latest and greatest document that works for this task, however the PSEG deal may also work. Please forward me an electronic form that you feel is most appropriate - with blanks where all counterparty names are shown - so I can forward them to additional parties (such as FPL, Duke, Tenaska, Unicom, etc.). I would like to get this out to a couple of these parties tomorrow if possible since we are already talking to other parties and want to maximize price and likelihood of closure.

Joe - there is no announcement today. I tried to leave you a voicemail but apparently the system is down there. Before we can offer an outside person a VP position, the Executive Committee must sign off. We are going to be going through that process in a few minutes. Then we begin the offer extension and negotiations. The person we are recommending is Linda Robertson, one of the two people I mentioned to you before. Please guard the information carefully. Last time we talked, when the list had been narrowed to two, DeLay's office called with the exact two names and started pushing us to hire a Republican. As you know we interviewed candidates of both political affiliations and just settled on the best person. Ken told DeLay's office that's how we do things and Ken is comfortable (actually enthused) about the choice. When some external announcement is done, you will be involved and your considerable contributions will be prominently mentioned.

NEW YORK -- After more than two years of talks, Saudi Arabia is about to announce its choice of international oil companies for three huge natural-gas projects that will mark a reopening of the kingdom's energy sector to Western investment, a quarter century after it was nationalized. But the announcement, and the signing of memorandums of understanding early next month, will mark only the beginning of serious negotiations on terms for the three ventures, which together will need investment of some $25 billion. It will be months before final agreements are signed. "We expect to have an agreement -- a final agreement -- signed somewhere at the end of the year, or, hopefully, the first quarter of next year," said Saudi Oil Minister Ali Naimi in an interview last week. Saudi Arabia's 11-member Supreme Petroleum Council is expected to meet today to endorse the companies recommended by a ministerial committee led by Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal. In the following week, Saudi Arabia is expected to communicate its decision to the oil companies from both sides of the Atlantic that have been vying for a role in the three projects. By the end of the month, the chosen consortium members and Saudi officials are expected to agree on which three companies will lead the projects. This will be a prestigious role in a country that is the world's largest oil exporter, has more than a quarter of the world's oil reserves and has the fifth-largest reserves of natural gas. As with any negotiations for such huge projects, industry rumors abound. All three so-called oil supermajors -- Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch/Shell Group and BP PLC -- have been mentioned as project leaders, particularly for the plum Ghawar project, named after the world's largest onshore oil field, whose environs are expected to yield large volumes of gas. The Ghawar project, known as Core Venture 1, is projected to require about $15 billion in investment. Core Venture 2 is on the Red Sea coast. The third project is in Shaybah, a recently developed oil field in the kingdom's Empty Quarter, a southeastern region bordering the United Arab Emirates. The companies say they have no idea who will be named to the consortia, or who the Saudis will choose from a short list of 11 companies -- Exxon Mobil, Shell, BP, Chevron Corp., TotalFinaElf SA, ENI SpA, Enron Corp., Occidental Petroleum Corp., Marathon Oil Canada Inc., Conoco Inc. and Phillips Petroleum Corp. -- to lead each project. But they all have their hopes. "We would be very disappointed if we are not the lead operator" for the Shaybah project, said Archie Dunham, Conoco's chairman and chief executive. Since Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah invited major oil companies to return to the kingdom in October 1998, negotiations have focused on such broad issues as the scope of the projects and their integrated nature -- from exploration and production of gas to the making of petrochemicals and electricity -- as well as the notion that the companies will need adequate returns on their investment. Soon, the project leaders will have to start the bargaining on such issues as the roles to be played by national champions Aramco and petrochemicals company Saudi Basic Industries Corp. --- Alexei Barrionuevo in Houston contributed to this article. --- Population Pressure Saudi Arabia is opening up its energy sector, in a bid to bolster the economy as population grows -- Population 21.3 million (growing over 3.5% per year) -- Unemployment rate* 27%-35% of males -- Real GDP Growth Rate 7.6% -- Oil Production 9.3 million barrels per day -- Natural-Gas Reserves 204.5 trillion cubic feet -- Natural-Gas Production/Consumption 1.68 trillion cubic feet *Unofficial estimate for 1999 Note: Figures are estimates for 2000 except natural-gas production, which is for 1999 Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

All Rights Reserved. WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House team developing a national energy plan has met with more than 130 interest groups, from environmentalists and unions often at odds with Republicans to major Bush supporters given private sessions with Vice President Dick Cheney. The vice president, Cabinet secretaries and others on a special task force have solicited ideas behind closed doors, hoping the privacy would encourage a free exchange of ideas. The White House has declined to provide names of participants - even to Congress. But interviews with participants detail a massive outreach where diverse interests have met with task force executive director Andrew Lundquist. Cheney's time has been reserved for meetings with more select participants such as power wholesaler Enron Corp. and the Edison Electric Institute, both GOP donors. Houston-based Enron is the world's top buyer and seller of natural gas and electricity. "The way the task force is set up, they don't have the staff or time to have a huge host of companies come through the door. They have told us to work through our associations to the extent we can," said Don Duncan, vice president of government relations for Phillips Petroleum Co. Participants said the meetings, typically 20 minutes to 45 minutes, included about a dozen to 100 interest group members and a few task force members and staff. No details were disclosed. Instead, administration representatives summarized the nation's energy problems or listened as groups briefly offered background and proposals. Many sent detailed materials to the task force outlining their priorities. At a half-hour meeting in late March with White House strategist Karl Rove and Bush economic adviser Larry Lindsey, nuclear energy executives tried to make sure the two knew about the production records the industry has set over the past few years. At one point, Rove asked if anyone was looking to build a nuclear power plant. An executive with Exelon replied that his company was thinking about it, meeting participants said. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham has attended several meetings, including one with Teamsters President James Hoffa and an hourlong session in California with Democratic Gov. Gray Davis, who contends the administration has done little to help the power-strapped state. Like other governors, Davis was asked to provide one page on the state's power crisis, including a description of the problem, an anecdote about it and possible solutions. "They're asking for a one-page memo on possibly the biggest crisis ever affecting the state, with a massive ripple effect for the nation," Davis spokesman Steve Maviglio said. "I think it demands more attention than a one-page memo." Cheney spokeswoman Juleanna Glover Weiss said the task force has been studying the California problem almost daily. At a meeting between Abraham and about 100 coal industry representatives in late April, task force staffers handed out a briefing packet that outlined national energy needs, and then they listened to industry proposals. "I thought the purpose was one, to reassure people in the coal industry that coal was going to play a large role in the energy mix, and essentially when the plan is unveiled that they're going to be looking to people to help martial this through Congress," said Bill Banig, a lobbyist for the United Mineworkers Union. White House officials said the meetings are not designed to encourage lobbying and that task force members were carefully instructed on what was permissible under federal law. Cheney's meetings included Enron, Edison Electric Institute, California Republicans, and the senators from Nevada, home to the proposed Yucca Mountain federal nuclear waste site. The vice president plans to meet with the renewable-energy industry this week. Enron ranked among Bush's top 10 presidential campaign contributors, giving more than $110,000, and helped sponsor a $7 million party fund-raiser last month. The Edison Electric Institute gave Republican candidates more than two-thirds of its $193,000 in contributions last year. Edison International, whose holdings include the Southern California Edison electric utility, is also a major donor, giving $535,000 to Republicans last year and $330,000 to Democrats. Enron spokesman Mark Palmer said Cheney met with Enron executives because the power wholesaler is a respected member of the industry, not because it was a contributor. Enron wants the administration's energy plan to ease electricity transmission bottlenecks, give companies incentives to invest in new transmission and make the wholesale power market as open as possible, he said. Tom Kuhn, the institute's president, said it is "totally ludicrous" to think political donations played a role. Cheney's meeting with Edison board members, held at the institute's invitation, lasted 15 minutes to 20 minutes. Cheney spoke about the task force process, Kuhn said. He said Cheney's remarks were consistent with the vice president's public statements. Edison wants to see new generation and transmission systems built, including coal, natural gas and nuclear and hydroelectric power, Kuhn said. Democrats in Congress sought a list of participants in the meetings, but Cheney's office responded by only listing broad categories and no names. That has left fodder for political attack. "You can't just take advice from one interest group or set of interest groups when you do these things," said Dave Albersworth of the Wilderness Society, whose group has met with Lundquist but was denied its request to talk with Cheney. Weiss countered that the energy task force has collected information from more than 130 groups since January in an "almost Herculean effort" to draw input from all sides. "People deserve the right to petition their government and not expect a full laundry list of who's called to be announced," she said. Enron spokesman Palmer said he is not seeking such privacy. "I'm happy to tell people what we're advocating for. I'd rather be talking about policy than about politics," he said. --- On the Net: White House Energy Task Force: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/usbudget/blueprint/bud10.html Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

COMPANIES & FINANCE UK: Independents drill deep to strike rich seams: A new generation of smaller oil companies is emerging; a group that has discovered how to be competitive, writes David Buchan: Financial Times; May 14, 2001 By DAVID BUCHAN The UK's listed small oil companies may have dwindled in number. But they can rightly say, echoing Mark Twain's words, that reports of their collective demise are exaggerated. Indeed, many in the UK-based exploration and production companies, dubbed "independents" in the sense of being untied to any refining and marketing, believe they have more of a role than when their kind first started operating in the North Sea 30 years ago. After the takeovers in recent years of Lasmo, Monument and British Borneo, there may only be about a dozen significant UK-based "independents" left. Yet they amount to virtually the entire European E&P sector: the only significant exception being Lundin Oil of Sweden. Many of the UK independents began life as local partners of US companies in the 1970s when the Labour government of the period gave preference to consortia with a local flavour. But this rationale disappeared when the Thatcher government took a more free-for-all approach to letting anyone develop the North Sea - though at the same time it did create the biggest UK independent by floating off British Gas' oil interests as Enterprise Oil. Enterprise is the only UK independent that is more than a niche or regional player. As such its E&P assets would be a significant addition to an oil major, hence the persistently rumoured interest in taking it over. As the North Sea became more competitive and difficult, some of the UK-based independents began to look elsewhere. "Unlike US independents which have always tended to be less interested in drilling outside North America, those in the UK have always tended to be more sympathetic to exotic parts of the world", says Mark Redway of Teather and Greenwood. Unfortunately, the obvious exotic new province that happened to open up in the early 1990s was the former Soviet Union. One company, Ramco Energy, dipped in and out very successfully, recently selling its 2 per cent stake in the Azerbaijan International Oil Consortium for Dollars 150m (Pounds 104.8m). Other UK independents - Aminex, Soco and Dana Petroleum - ventured into Russia and got stuck. While Aminex finds it hard to downplay Russia (because it has little elsewhere), Soco these days stresses its Mongolia and Vietnam operations. Another UK independent, JKX Oil & Gas, went into Ukraine, a country notorious for non-payment of energy bills. With diplomatic help from Tony Blair, the prime minister, JKX has just survived a legal attempt to rob it of its Ukraine assets. Two other independents have sunk more fruitful roots in Asia. "Cairn Energy now has as big a stake in Bangladesh's gas production as Shell, and it would be left, if Enron (the US energy company) were to quit India, as the biggest foreign player in India," says Iain Reid of UBS Warburg. Premier Oil is now a substantial Asian gas company, with production in Burma, Indonesia and Pakistan and long term contracts in Thailand and Singapore. But there are risks in these Asian ties. The obvious political one concerns Burma. Last year the UK government asked Premier to quit Burma because its presence was helping the military regime. Premier refused, and said it would carry on. The other risk, according to Mr Redway, is economic and it applies also to Cairn. Because there is no real world market for gas, Cairn and Premier are "very dependent on the strength of the local economies". But then, Mr Redway is an analyst who believes that independents' competitive edge lies in exploration rather than production. He therefore rates Fusion Oil & Gas highly as "the purest exploration investment opportunity in the E&P sector". Dana similarly vaunts its exploration expertise, but to a different end. Its goal, according to Tom Cross, chief executive, is to find oil and then swap exploration for production assets. "This avoids the expensive development stage of building platforms and pipelines and so on". Then at the other end of the spectrum are production-focused companies, such as Paladin, Tullow Oil or Venture Production. Roy Franklin, Paladin's chief executive, makes no bones about his company's scavenger strategy, spotting rich pickings overlooked by the majors. The majors are not always ready to sell, particularly recently when the oil price rise has widened the gap in price expectations between buyers and sellers. But Paladin was last year able to buy PetroCanada's assets in Norway, and is this year interested in bidding for some of what the Norwegian state is selling off. As its name suggests, Venture Production, a private Aberdeen-based company with North Sea and Trinidad operations, is focused on extraction, not exploration. And so are other private companies such as Intrepid, Consort Energy and Highland Energy, formed in the past three or four years. This new generation of company tends to be more cautious than the older one. "Exploration has probably been the best way to destroy shareholder value," says one executive. The other risk the new oilmen want to avoid is the vagaries of the stock market. "By focusing on production, the new companies are more predictable in terms of cash flow and earnings," says Mike Wagstaff, Venture's finance director.

QATAR: UAE's Dolphin may seek new partners if Enron exits. By Kedar Sharma 05/14/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. DOHA, May 14 (Reuters) - Dolphin Energy Ltd (DEL) may invite new foreign investors to join its project to route Qatari gas to the United Arab Emirates as U.S. Enron Corp looks set to bow out, industry sources said on Monday. "New partners are a possibility," Khaldoun al-Mubarak, project manager for DEL, majority owned by the UAE's Offsets Group (UOG), told Reuters. "But at the moment we are in the midst of finalising the formal (development and production sharing) agreement with Qatar which should be done by September at the latest." Qatar and DEL in March signed a "commercial term sheet agreement" which outlined the conditions of the upstream agreement for the long-awaited $3.5 billion project. UOG currently owns 51 percent of DEL, with the remainder held equally by France's TotalFinaElf and Enron. "Enron is going through major global restructuring," Mubarak said. "(But) they haven't officially notified us about their intention to pull out." Enron officials declined comment. Mubarak said interest in DEL was running high. "Everyone is asking for a stake," he said. The gas deal would entitle DEL to develop a tract of Qatar's giant North Field and produce up to two billion cubic feet per day (cfd) of gas. UOG is to invest $2 billion in developing the North Field tract, drilling and setting up production facilities. The remaining $1.5 billion would be invested to lay a pipeline and set up receiving terminals at Dubai's Jebel Ali and Taweelah in Abu Dhabi. First gas is targeted to reach the UAE capital Abu Dhabi by late 2004 or early 2005. About one billion to 1.5 billion cfd of Qatari gas would be consumed by utilities in Abu Dhabi with the remainder supplied to Dubai. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. UAE: UPDATE 1-Saudi expected to name gas race winners on Tuesday. By Peg Mackey 05/14/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. DUBAI, May 14 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's Supreme Petroleum Council (SPC) is expected to meet on Tuesday and announce the oil majors chosen for its multi-billion dollar gas investment opening, industry sources familiar with the negotiations said on Monday. The sources said the SPC is expected to name ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch/Shell as lead players in three so-called core projects involving the kingdom's upstream gas sector - off-limits to foreign oil firms since nationalisation in 1975. Signing of memoranda of understanding (MOUs) would most probably take place in early June, the sources said. The anticipated announcement would mark the biggest advance in the kingdom's gas initiative, valued at an initial $25 billion, since Riyadh unveiled its energy investment opening over two years ago. But the hard work has yet to start on the opening of Saudi Arabia's gas sector, the world's fourth biggest. "The fiscal regime and regulatory details have not been developed," said one source. FINAL CUT Riyadh is expected to trim back its original shortlist of 11 potential foreign investors revealed last summer. Those companies had been grouped under three core venture consortia - South Ghawar, Red Sea and Shaybah. For ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch/Shell, securing the lead role in Saudi Arabia's core ventures would entitle them to operate the package and get the biggest slice of the projects, analysts said. Other industry sources said ExxonMobil, the world's biggest energy company, was tipped for the top slot in core venture 1 (South Ghawar) as well as in core venture 2 (Red Sea). Royal Dutch/Shell was in pole position for core venture 3 (Shaybah), the sources added. Both oil supermajors already have significant foreign investment in the kingdom and feature as top customers of Saudi oil, the analysts said. ENERGY DRIVERS An urgent need to create jobs and grow the economy are driving Saudi Arabia's landmark energy opening. And analysts said big oil companies were prepared to help the kingdom achieve those aims even if the return on their investment was relatively low. "Major oil companies just cannot miss this opportunity," a source said. "The gas projects will show profits." But just how much revenue oil companies will generate by selling water and electricity in the Saudi domestic market remains to be seen. On paper, at least, the kingdom's domestic gas sector looks set for impressive growth. Domestic gas demand, now running at about 3.4 billion cubic feet per day, is forecast to grow at more than seven percent a year over the coming decade. Saudi Arabia has meanwhile made clear that its prized oil sector, the world's biggest, remains off limits. Even so, oil companies still hold out hope for eventual involvement in oil, the kingdom's lifeblood. "The companies are just as happy with gas, but oil remains the ultimate objective," a regional analyst said. "Saudi Aramco is still putting up strong defence barriers, but eventually they could open up the oil sector once they feel comfortable working with the majors." The Saudi gas initiative seeks foreign oil companies' help in developing the kingdom's known gas reserves as well as investment in downstream projects fed by gas supplies, such as power and desalination. The following companies have been shortlisted for the gas projects: Core venture 1 (South Ghawar Area) - ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch/Shell, BP , TotalFinaElf , Chevron and ENI . Core venture 2 (Red Sea Area) - TotalFinaElf, ExxonMobil, Marathon , Enron /Oxy , Conoco , Royal Dutch/Shell. Core venture 3 (Shaybah Area) - Royal Dutch/Shell, ExxonMobil, Marathon, Conoco, TotalFinaElf, Phillips and Enron/Oxy. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Saudi Oil Council To Meet Tue On Gas Projects -Sources 05/14/2001 Dow Jones Energy Service (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) DUBAI -(Dow Jones)- International oil companies vying for a stake in Saudi Arabia's downstream gas projects, expect to be notified soon on whether they have been selected to participate, industry sources in the kingdom said Monday. Saudi Arabia's Supreme Petroleum Council is set to meet Tuesday and shortly after, announce its final selection for each of the three core ventures on offer, the sources said. The Saudi Arabian committee negotiating with international oil companies on the Gas Initiative, submitted its proposals for consortium members and leaders to the country's Ministerial Council in April. These were then passed on to the SPC for final approval. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah, who heads the SPC, is in Bahrain Monday attending a Gulf Cooperation Council leaders' summit along with Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, Saud Al Faisal, who heads the gas negotiating committee. Saudi Arabia invited international oil companies in October 1998 to participate in proposals for downstream gas projects and upstream gas enhancement. After a series of meetings between the negotiating committee and IOC's in the past year, the following companies were shortlisted for each project. Royal Dutch/Shell Group (RD), BP PLC (BP), Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), Chevron Corp. (CHV), Total Fina Elf S.A. (TOT) and ENI SpA (E) for Core Venture 1, the $15 billion South Ghawar Area Development. For Core Venture 2, the Red Sea Development, Enron Corp. (ENE) and Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) are bidding jointly and Exxon Mobil, Total Fina Elf, Marathon Oil Canada Inc. (T.M), Shell and Conoco Inc. (COCA) were listed. And for Core Venture 3, the Shaybah area, Total Fina Elf, Conoco, Phillips Petroleum (P), Enron and Occidental, Exxon Mobil, Shell and Marathon Oil were listed. With all those shortlisted expected to play some role, the immediate and essential question for each of the IOC's is whether they will be selected to lead and operate a project, with Core Venture 1 the most sought after, industry sources said. Exxon Mobil and Shell have been tipped as frontrunners for this venture. The operator's role will be more crucial than ever here as it will be responsible for directing further negotiations on the projects at hand which will lead to final deals probably by year end. Also, operators are expected to decide and direct how the project's individual and large components will be developed, details the Saudis haven't finalized, sources said. The three ventures have been estimated at a combined value of about $25 billion. -By Dyala Sabbagh, Dow Jones Newswires; 9714-331-4260; [email protected] Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Business RFID chip will help speed up business 05/14/2001 The New Straits Times Main/Lifestyle; 2* 26 (Copyright 2001) THE combination of recently developed "stick-on" Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip technology with a global positioning system (GSP) will transform and quicken the pace of doing business in the oil and gas industry. And Malaysia must adapt to this shift to maintain her global positioning. Global management and technology consultant Global Energy Strategy Practice which is working in partnership with Accenture Sdn Bhd wants to promote this idea locally. Global Energy Strategy Practice partner Paul Spence said that applying this latest combined technology, car owners can fill up a petrol tank without resorting to human contact or to the use of a credit card. Relevant personal data embedded in the RFID chip would be machine read and the required quantity of petrol delivered, as if right out of a science fiction movie. This surreal development is made possible through the application of ubiquitous-commerce (u-commerce) whereby computers and machines communicate with each other to affect an impression of an omnipresent intelligence. Such technology is economically available today. "There are technology suppliers who are offering these capabilities." The technology also has applications outside the oil and gas industry. Communications between machines can now allow or deny access of individuals to restricted zones. In an interview in Petaling Jaya recently, Spence said: "A lot of my clients now are asking, whether that same technology can be used to restrict access into hazardous areas, plants or production sites. "Can a warning alarm be fitted to the individual or to an assistant? There are lots of safety, health and environment applications around that." "Guru in the field" is another potential application where a combination of RFID chips, video cameras, personal digital assistants (PDA) and personal computers can deliver distant technical advice on- site. "An industry client operating in the North Sea oil fields has a prototype mounted on a workman's helmet which sends snap-shots to experts on the other side of the world. "The effect of this new combined technology on global financial and commodity markets is to lock them in tighter correlation. "The days of being able to arbitrage for profits between geographical markets are shortening within the energy industry. Enron which is the biggest oil trader in the US is now hedging on weather derivatives." Accenture partner Lim Beng Choon said that to compete globally, the oil and gas industry in Malaysia would have to implement this new technology to remain connected to global markets.

India: Godbole panel report may suggest MSEB bifurcation 05/14/2001 Business Line (The Hindu) Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd (KSL); Source: World Reporter (TM) - Asia Intelligence Wire MUMBAI, May 13. THE second part of the Dr Madhav Godbole committee report is expected to be submitted to the State Government on May 15. While the first part of the report recommended renegotiation of the power purchase agreement with Enron's Dabhol Power Company, the second part is expected to suggest bifurcation of the Maharashtra State Electricity Board, sources said. The committee, which has been given the mandate to negotiate with Enron officials to make DPC power more acceptable, had a marathon meeting on May 11 to finalise the second half of the report. "The committee has been considering the bifurcation of MSEB," a source said. "The idea is to try and separate the distribution from generation and transmission." While generation and transmission can be controlled by the State, there may be a suggestion to privatise the distribution arm. Over 1.5 lakh MSEB employees had gone on a strike to oppose a Bill to unbundle the board into three divisions - generation, transmission and distribution - due to fear of privatisation. MSEB, the State's leading power company, has been facing huge losses due to delay in payments and theft of power. The second part of the report is expected to address the problem in detail. Part one of the report submitted on April 10 had said: "...none of the solutions espoused for independent power producers, in general, and DPC, in particular, is tenable without the reforms of MSEB, especially its distribution business, which it shall address in part II of the report." The report is expected to "suggest appropriate measures to ensure that the interests of the State, MSEB and electricity consumers of the State of Maharashtra are properly and adequately considered, evaluated and safeguarded," according to the terms of reference laid down when forming the committee. The committee originally consisted of Dr Madhav Godbole, Mr Deepak Parekh, Dr E.A.S. Sarma, Dr Rajendra Pachauri and the State Energy Secretary, Mr Vinay Mohan Lal. The MSEB Chairman, Mr Vinay Bansal, has been inducted as part of the panel after the submission of the first part and before the beginning of negotiations with Enron. Archana Chaudhary Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Smart Investor Tertiary will be primary Indira Vergis 05/14/2001 Business Standard 2 Copyright (c) Business Standard These are volatile times for world business. There are increasing jitters that a slowing US economy could dampen prospects for the global economies. Many developing regions, especially in Asia, are bracing themselves for a bout of slightly lower growth. But two countries, India and China which together account for about half the region's gross domestic product (GDP_ will still continue to see their GDP grow at six per cent, forecasts the Asian Development Bank. Many Indian economists agree with ADB's projections. In fact, they view the prediction of a six per cent growth in India's GDP as benign. Nearly 54 per cent of India's GDP is delivered by its services sector and a modest performance by this sector, some economists say, will be enough to hold up the GDP at six per cent. There are others who hope that better agricultural performance could prompt the economy to hand in a better scorecard. However, the Indian industry remains trapped in the doldrums, suffering from a lack of consumer confidence and investments. Very few economists expect to see signs of recovery sprouting any time soon. An interest rate cut is considered vital by many to energise the sector. And, they argue, there are certain economic indicators that encourage such a move. Inflation is running at very low levels and the nation's foreign exchange reserves are currently high enough to provide a strong defence to the Indian currency. Surprisingly, our trade balance, which threatened to spiral out of control by surging oil prices last year, has been contained. Since then, oil prices have retreated and are expected to remain subdued. While a rate cut may go some way in reviving sentiment and activity in the industrial sector, stirring up consumer demand will still hinge on a normal monsoon. Rain, rain, come again For many economists, the prediction of India clinging to its current GDP level is heavily contingent on a normal spell of monsoon this year. "According to our assessment, we believe the Indian economy will grow by around 6.5 per cent this fiscal year," says Chetan Ahya, vice president at J M Morgan Stanley Securities. In 2000-01, agricultural growth withered under a poor monsoon and a subsequent drought in many parts of the country. For the second year in a row, growth in the sector sank below one per cent. It stood at 0.9 per cent compared with 0.7 per cent the previous year. While agriculture accounts for only 24 per cent of GDP, it remains the most keenly-watched sector by economists. "The performance of the agricultural sector is important because of its linkages to the economy both on the supply side and on the consumption side," says Mohan Nagarajan, chief economist at Credit Analysis and Research Ltd (CARE). "It would lead to a better performance of agro-based industries," he adds. More significantly, roughly 60 per cent of Indians still depend on agriculture for their livelihood. "A good crop means that demand for everything, from everyday use goods like toothpaste to larger items like tractors will pick up," says Nagarajan. Economists are hoping that a good monsoon will budge growth in the sector to around 1.5 to 2.5 per cent. In service of the economy Another key sector economists will be watching out for will be services. India's services sector ranging from finance, insurance, hospitality to transportation and communication slowed its pace in 2000-01. With growth weakening by a whole per cent to 8.4 in 2000-01, sluggishness in this important sector has been blamed for dragging down the overall GDP. Most economists expect the sector to post either relatively flat growth or edge slightly higher this year. But, it's performance will be vital to ensure that overall GDP holds at six per cent. "Even if the agriculture and industry numbers fall again but services sees even seven to eight per cent growth, it will be enough to keep the GDP around six per cent," says Nagarajan. Construction activity a services component that includes housing, roads and other infrastructure projects demonstrated surprisingly good growth of 8.7 per cent and is expected to maintain the pace. Road construction is tipped to show increasing levels of activity as work on the ambitious highway linking Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Calcutta intensifies. Chiming in will be the housing industry, benefiting in recent years from tax reliefs and attractive financing schemes, and which have encouraged more people to buy houses. Another segment slated to witness good growth will be IT-enabled services, says Morgan Stanley's Ahya. "We are emerging as the services workshop of the world," he says. IT-enabled services like call centres and data processing, though currently generating tiny revenues, are slated to turn into big money spinners in the years ahead. The telecommunications industry will also see improving levels of investment. "The penetration of services is so low, that it has an intrinsic high growth rate," says Ahya. For a taste of the market, consider this: out of the 100 Indians, only one uses the Internet and less than three own a telephone. A good home show And there could be a pleasant surprise in store for industry amid all the gloom over its performance. Adequate liquidity conditions are spurring expectations of a cut in interest rates. Broad money(M3) a gauge of total money available in the economy increased 16.2 per cent in 2000-01 against 14.6 per cent last year. While the Reserve Bank of India had cut the bank rate in March, the belief is that a further cut of 50 basis points is imminent. The bank rate the rate at which the central bank lends to commercial banks currently stands at seven per cent. Aiding the cause is the inflation data which shows the wholesale price index at a tame 5.84 per cent. With economists betting that oil prices will remain in the $24-28 a barrel range, inflation is not expected to exhibit the oil price-inspired gyrations of last year. A cut could coax the industry to step up activity, though admittedly, much would still depend on rural demand. Neighbours' envy And while many Asian countries watch with increasing nervousness the impact of an American downturn on their economies, India and China can afford to remain relatively placid about global developments. That's because they are less dependent on the US for their own economic health. That is expected to shield them somewhat from being blown off-course like some other Asian nations by the ill-wind of an American slump in demand. With exports making up less than 10 per cent of India's GDP, its economy is clearly not export-driven. In contrast, nearly 35 per cent of Indonesia's GDP comes from exports, 57 per cent for Thailand, and 50 per cent for the Philippines. Yet, despite claiming only a small percentage of GDP, India's exports remained a bright spot amid some gloomy economic data. Exports raced ahead 20 per cent to $44.1 billion in 2000-01. It was the second consecutive year of good exports growth. On the flip side, imports rose, too, during the same period to Rs $49.1 billion. But non-oil imports, however, declined 15 per cent to $34.2 billion. That helped narrow the trade gap to $5.74 billion from $12.79 billion the previous year. Still, India can ill-afford to ignore completely the risks of an American slump in demand. The US is India's largest trading partner and, in 2000-01, a quarter of its exports headed to that nation. Besides, by taking in nearly 70 per cent of India's software exports, it is also India's most important software exports destination. Booming software exports accompanied by remittances by Indians living overseas have been the primary factors exerting a calming influence on India's balance of payments of position, especially in times of economic turbulence. For example, last year, while a surging oil import bill threatened to rattle the nation's trade gap, inflows from invisibles(including income from software and Indians living abroad) came to the rescue helping India limit its overall current account deficit. It's a sobering realisation that has compelled the National Association of Software and Service Companies(NASSCOM) to lower its exports forecast to between $8.5 billion to $9 billion from its previous figure of $9.5 billion. Earlier, it had also revised estimates for 2000-01 lower to $6.2 billion from $6.3 billion. Still, observers say it isn't a cause for depression. "They are still talking about growth. It is a decline in the growth rate and not an actual downturn itself," points out John Band, chief executive officer, ASK-Raymond James and Associates. And remittances look set to maintain their pace as well. "Most remittances are still from Indians who live in the Middle East, and I don't see any slowdown from this segment," says CARE's Nagarajan. Remittances totalled $9.8 billion in the nine months to December 2000. Software exports brought in $4.6 billion during the same period. Foreign institutions support Another recent 'feel-good' sign has been evident in the stock markets too. Between January and April 2001, eigners poured in Rs 7,368 crore into India's equity markets - a phenomenal 15 per cent more than what they invested in the whole of calendar 2000. Yet, experts aren't reading too much into it. In the past few months, investors have been fleeing from a shower of profit warnings in the US and seeking cover in alternative investments. As they rejuggle their portfolios, some money will inevitably flow into India and other countries, experts say. Because it isn't affected so much by what's happening externally, they see India as some kind of a safe haven," says ASK's Band. Yet some hesitation Recently, gunning for more foreign direct investments (FDI), the government opened more sectors for foreign and private participation, including pharmaceuticals, hotels, banking and astonishingly, even defence. However, tempting FDI has always been a vexing issue for India. In 2000-01, FDI did improve slightly, moving 26 per cent higher than the previous year to $2.4 billion. Yet, China a market India is frequently compared with in terms of size and potential attracted 20 times more FDI in the same period. Economists now shrug off FDI as a tool to kick-start investment in the country. "It's a pittance and it probably will remain stagnant," says an economist at a foreign research house. The reasons are not hard to find. Foreigners seeking to invest in India have many fences to cross. Frequent changes in sector policies, chaotic infrastructure facilities and nightmarish bureaucratic redtape have often left foreigners tired and wary of doing business in India. The stress of investing in India is most clearly visible in the recurring concerns that have stubbornly dogged US energy giant Enron's 2,148 MW power project in Dabhol in Maharashtra. After being forced to renegotiate a power supply deal in 1995 after concluding it in 1992, Enron has hit the headlines once again. This time, an almost bankrupt state electricity board (SEB) refuses to pay its dues for power received and the state government refuses to honour its commitment to pay in case the SEB defaults.It's led to intense speculation that, after suffering repeated snags for nearly a decade, Enron might simply pull out of the project altogether. A disturbing turn of events, since, till recently, Enron Corp was the biggest foreign investor in India. It will not be the first time that exasperation will have egged on a foreign investor to pull out of a project. Earlier, US-based Cogentrix Energy had also walked out of its $1.5 billion 1,000 MW Mangalore power project citing endless bureaucratic hurdles. And there has also been some disappointment over India's much-hyped 300 million middle class which was supposed to be growing rapidly. Many international firms, inspired by this figure, had scrambled to set up operations to conquer a huge chunk of this market. Now many are struggling to break even and still learning to adapt to local tastes a key ingredient for success. That's why despite all its attempts to open up various sectors, India still remains a tough sell. Outlook With a little help from the rains, India could notch up a growth rate of six per cent. Many economists have also pointed out that a reforms-studded budget could also inject some enthusiasm in the patient that is the economy. Strong measures include plans to reform labour laws and government employment. These are expected to boost the economy's development, though in the long run. The recent opening up of various sectors could also revive sentiment, although whether this will translate into FDI flows is arguable. Still, every bit helps. The fact remains that it will have to persist in trying to accelerate the pace of growth if its ambitions of turning into an economic powerhouse are to be realised. After all, for the second most populous nation in the world with one of the biggest markets, its economic power is still nowhere near the figure its size suggests. Acegas shares, potential for growth (Acegas, le potenzialita di crescita del titolo) 05/14/2001 La Repubblica 41 Copyright (C) 2001 Abstracted from La Repubblica in Italian; Source: World Reporter (TM) Italian brokers Rasfin SIM have indicated the potential for growth in the shares of Acegas, the former municipal utility of the Italian city of Trieste. Acegas closed the first quarter of this year with turnover of L137bn (+45 per cent). Results attributed in part to the start of production of Estenergy, a consortium of the utilities of Udine, Trieste, Gorizia and Enron of the US, which supplies energy and services to parts of Friuli. Also significant, according to Rasfin, were investments over the period, which totalled L43bn. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. A Section IN THE LOOP Al Kamen Roundabout to the Oval Office Al Kamen 05/14/2001 The Washington Post FINAL A19 Copyright 2001, The Washington Post Co. All Rights Reserved Sometimes even Cabinet officers can lose their way in the White House. So there was Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson, clearly lost Friday at a fork in a corridor near White House spokesman Ari Fleischer's office. "How do you get to the Oval Office?" he asked a group of reporters and was directed to the right door, according to a wire report. Fleischer, though, told reporters that was the wrong answer. "How do you get to the Oval Office? First you win the Iowa caucus, then you lose the New Hampshire primary, then you make a comeback in South Carolina," he quipped as he recalled President Bush's early primary campaign last year. Passport, Please Meanwhile, folks at Thompson's HHS may be taking to calling him "Tightwad Tommy." Seems a memo went out March 15 undermining Alaska and Hawaii's claims to be part of the United States. Employees "must clear . . . international travel" with the office of the deputy chief of staff for operations, said the memo from the deputy chief, Ed Sontag. To clarify, "HHS employees seeking to travel outside the continental U.S." for meetings and conferences, must get permission and then file trip reports within two weeks. This sent officials calling around, asking whether trips to those states were to go through the international travel approval system just as if they were going to Russia or the Congo. Apparently so. The edict would appear to include even the nearby Virgin Islands and practically next-door Puerto Rico as well. Loop Fans can only hope this outrage doesn't spread to other agencies. It would make for some cold winters. Chewing Out on the Bush Beat Speaking of Fleischer, the usually affable spokesman is not reluctant to get tough with reporters when he believes they've stepped out of line. Sheriff Fleischer was on duty Thursday and upset with Houston Chronicle reporter Bennett Roth. Bush that morning urged parents to talk more to their kids about the dangers of drugs. Roth, at Fleischer's daily briefing, asked: "Ari, the president talked about parental involvement today. How much has he talked to his own daughters about both drugs and drinking? And given the fact that his own daughter was cited for underage drinking, isn't that a sign that there's only so much effect that a parent can have on their children's behavior?" Fleischer responded brusquely: "No, I think, frankly, there are some issues where I think it's very important for you all in the press corps to recognize that he is the president of the United States; he's also a father. And the press corps has been very respectful in the past of treating family matters with privacy, and I'm certain that you're going to do so again. I hope so." Fleischer later called Roth to chastise him, telling him his question had been "noted in the building." Competing to Oversee the Corps Former Mississippi representative Mike Parker, a Democrat-turned-Republican who lost a gubernatorial bid a couple of years back, had been seen as the pick to be assistant secretary of the Army for civil works, overseeing the Army Corps of Engineers. Parker, a former undertaker, had support from the barge industry, the various corps constituencies and fellow Mississippian Trent Lott, the majority leader of the Senate. But the Pentagon's choice was Lawrence Izzo, recently retired president of Enron Engineering and Construction Co. who has been in the mix for several jobs. Izzo, a West Point grad, had 23 years at the Corps before going to Enron, former home of Army secretary-designate Thomas White. The majority leader was said to be most unhappy. The latest word is Parker's getting the job. Ex-Reporters Move On Kenneth J. Klein, a former reporter who has worked for 17 years for Florida Sen. Bob Graham (D), most recently as chief of staff, is joining the Outdoor Advertising Association of America as executive vice president for government relations. Former Washington Post colleague Thomas W. Lippman, a 33-year national, foreign and financial reporter and author who became vice president of communications at the World Wildlife Fund in 1999, is moving next month to be managing director at communications consulting firm Chlopak, Leonard, Schechter & Associates.

Largest LNG 13 Conference Opens Today 05/14/2001 Korea Times Copyright (C) 2001 Korea Times; Source: World Reporter (TM) The largest-ever International Conference and Exhibition on liquefied natural gas (LNG 13) opens today for a four-day run at the Convention and Exhibition Center (COEX) in southern Seoul. A total of 125 companies and organizations represented by 2,500 delegates and exhibitors from 50-odd countries, including Japan, the United States, Britain and Australia, are participating in the international event, co- organized by the Korea Gas Union and the Korea Gas Corp. (KOGAS). Commerce, Industry and Energy Minister Chang Che-shik will be delivering congratulatory remarks on behalf of Prime Minister Lee Han-dong who is currently on an official trip to the Middle East. There will be a visual presentation from Lee during the opening ceremony. ``We have spent more than a year preparing for this international event which is the largest in terms of the number of participants and exhibitors,'' said Lee Seung-hwan, chairman of the Korean National Organizing Committee. LNG 13 is 15 percent larger than the conference and exhibition held in Australia back in 1998 which reflects the growth of the industry, Lee explained, adding that the demand for LNG has been increasing rapidly here in Korea. A wide range of topics will be presented during the four days of conferences and exhibitions, helping to showcase the importance of the LNG industry. Among the numerous papers to be presented at the triennial event are ``Old World, New World, Tomorrow's World: How LNG Has Changed Since LNG 12'' and ``The Next Generation of LNG Plants.'' ``Hosting this meaningful event in Korea will help elevate Korea's image in the international market, particularly with the sheer scale and size of LNG 13,'' said Kim Myung-kyu, president and CEO of KOGAS and chairman of the Korea gas Union. The conference will include paper sessions, workshops, poster sessions and film presentations while exhibitors will demonstrate their exclusive technologies for the exploration and production of LNG as well as plant construction. The official sponsors of LNG 13 are the International Gas Union, the Gas Technology Institute and the International institute of Refrigeration while the major sponsors are Shell Gas and Power, KOGAS, LG-Caltex, SK-Enron, the Qatari Group, TotalFinaElf, British Petroleum and Exxon Mobile. In addition to the conference and exhibition, there will be a technical visit to the Inchon LNG Receiving Terminal in Inchon, about 50 kilometers west of Seoul, on Friday.

Mark nothing has changed since our meeting last week, but here's a quick summary for your convenience: 1. Deliberation 15: COMAE (board for ASMAE, which acts as the clearinghouse for the MAE) issued Deliberation 15 directing ASMAE to do its accounting without applying Annex V by Oct. 31, 2001. The generators object because without Annex V, they are 20% short instead 5% short. Elektro and the LDCs object because failure to apply Annex V ignores the contract which is registered with the MAE, and a 20% long position will never be upheld. Deliberation 15 further directs ASMAE to gather and supply to the generators and LDCs the information for application of Annex V, seven days prior to Oct 31. This is good because it gives Elektro the information it needs to calculate the set off against the generators for its 5% long position. Thus, it is unnecessary for Elektro to seek an injunction against ASMAE compelling the information. 2. Letter to COMAE/ASMAE: To preserve its position, Elektro sent a letter objecting to the COMAE's failure to direct ASMAE to apply Annex V. The letter confirms a list of information LDCs require for the calculation. If the information is not provided or is delayed, Elektro will go to court to compel the information. Once it gets the information, Elektro can go to court to force ASMAE to apply Annex V. Prior to taking the set off, Elektro will seek an injunction to protect its assets from seizure by the generators under Annex VI. Subsequently, Elektro will file a suit against the generators to enforce the contractual application of Annex V. 3. Two suits are being filed immediately to compel ANEEL to permit Elektro to recover or pass through various costs increases pursuant to its concession agreement. Regards, Michelle

Dear Investor, So far, so good. My early-October projection of Dow 10,000 by Thanksgiving came true a few days early. Now I expect the market to zigzag its way somewhat higher over the course of the next two years. But please, don't go out and "buy the market." Index funds and the like may make you richer...but they won't make you truly RICH. That's because the gap between winners and losers will be quite large -- in some cases HUGE -- in the reawakening ahead. YOU SEE, in some ways the economic and market pessimists are RIGHT. Things are different this time around. And it's unwise to expect a rising tide that lifts all boats. But the right stocks will pay you handsomely if you buy them now. The pessimists may rail about Japan's debt load, the mess in Argentina and Enron's collapse. But frankly, my friend, the sky is not all gray. We're actually beginning to see some upward earnings revisions. And a handful of stocks we own -- like Cendant, SEI Investments and Harrah's Entertainment -- are already UP 40%-to-50% from September's lows. More will follow. As you'll discover, the pessimists are WRONG about the most important issue: We're not headed for some deflationary death grip or worldwide economic disaster -- despite the evidence they cite. Rather we are in the midst of economic change -- marked by harsh competition, rapid innovation and hand wringing -- that is a STOCK PICKER'S DREAM. And in just a moment, I'll share my finely-honed strategy for market-beating gains -- one that could easily make you 50% RICHER by the end of the year. SO PLEASE excuse me if I don't buy all the doom and gloom. I respect the intelligence and opinions of the pessimists. But for more than 20 years, I've chosen to go my own way...discover the facts on my own...and stand up for what I see. In fact, I visited 18 countries on five continents last year. I live part of the year in Europe; just visited Argentina to size up that situation for myself; and regularly spend weeks at a time in Greater China. Why? Because like it or not, we truly live in a global economy. And by understanding how it works, I help my clients SAFELY GROW RICH. HOW? A time-tested strategy that identifies hot growth prospects, when the risk of owning them is near -- or at -- its lowest point. That's why the companies I choose span a host of industries, but they all have four things in common: 1. Financials that show a company solidly in an upward trend; 2. Management with a laser-like focus on improving the bottom line; 3. Distinct competitive advantages within its market niche; 4. And a stock price selling at the low end of its usual trading range. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY to invest for low-risk, fortune- building gains. And once you join me, I know you'll agree. I've just put the finishing touches on my annual list of "PROFIT ROCKETS" for my Investor's World clients and thought you might want a peek, as well. In fact, you can get it IMMEDIATELY with a few simple mouse-clicks -- and 100% RISK-FREE, as well. Since I first issued this annual forecast back in 1995, my clients have really cleaned up -- shouldn't you make a pile of money this year, too? From the beginning of 1995 through the end of 2001, this annual portfolio of "Profit Rockets" has racked up a cumulative gain of 287.5%! That's over a seven- year period. Do the division yourself and see how it looks. NOT BAD! And that time period includes the worst bear market of the last 25 years -- we were actually UP another 14% in 2001. Today, I provide this portfolio solely to my Investor's World clients. But I first started making this "annual forecast" in 1995 as a regular panelist on Wall $treet Week With Louis Rukeyser. IN 1995, I was #1 among over 20 world-class investors with gains of 63.3% -- as audited by Bloomberg. In 1996, I "slipped" to #2. And in 1999, I just missed out on top honors with a NICE FAT 60.4% GAIN. And frankly, I've been helping investors like you to oversized gains for more than twenty years now. When the pessimists cried that oil was going to $100 a barrel in the 1980s, I led my clients to the rational truth and more big profits. After the crash of 1987, I debated every pessimist I could find. And back in 1993 -- with stocks in the dumps and the pessimists having a field day -- I told clients to buy for the greatest bull market in history. I was right each time. And I'm staking my reputation -- and my own money -- on the well-considered belief that I'm right again. So please, I urge you, try my Investor's World advisory RISK-FREE.

Vittorio Mincato, Eni's chief executive, confirmed that the group is on the verge of finalizing the sale of its Immobiliare Metanopoli property subsidiary (Eni's real estate company) with assets valued between $856 million and $1.3 billion. Eni's decision to divest its property assets has been viewed by many observers of the company as an attempt to release funds to facilitate a merger with another company. Enron Corp. has been among those on a rumored short list of merger prospects for Eni. ANALYSIS: Is the foundation being established for a mega-merger between Eni and Enron? It is not too difficult to formulate a theoretical argument in that direction. Eni is Italy's state-owned, multi-faceted energy company, operating in the oil and gas, power generation, petrochemicals, oilfield services, and engineering industries. The company has a market capitalization of about 47 billion euros (approximately $40 billion), is present in over 70 countries and produces more than one million barrels of oil equivalent a day. Across the European energy market-which once it has fully privatized will represent an arguably larger market than the United States-Eni is unquestionably one of the Continent's leading champions. Illustrating this point, Eni has taken several important steps within Europe to, as it says, "play an increasingly important role" in the Continent's competitive energy market. For instance, earlier this month, Eni inked a deal to sell 2 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Gaz de France. This deal followed a previous agreement in which Eni agreed to sell 4 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Italy's largest private energy supplier, Edison. With both agreements, Eni has given a substantial kick start to the opening of the European natural-gas market. CEO Mincato has said that Eni would recoup the losses made by giving up its market hold in Italy by "focusing on international markets." One move that Eni has made outside of Europe also came earlier this month. Eni made a bid for Australia's Petroz NL, which wields an 8.25 percent stake in Bayu-Undan, the giant gas and liquids project located off the northern coast of Australia. Eni already owns 6.7 percent of Bayu-Undan and apparently is attempting to gain a majority ownership over the project. It is no wonder why-the Bayu-Undan field has recoverable reserves of 400 million barrels of liquefied petroleum gas and gas reserves of 3.4 trillion cubic feet. Petroz has not yet accepted Eni's offer, but a favorable decision is expected shortly. Thus, whatever Eni may be divesting in Italy it is trying to regain in other key areas of the world. In fact, Mincato recently confirmed that Eni plans to increase its daily output of oil from a current level of 1.2 million barrels to 1.5 million barrels by 2003. Moreover, Eni has been making aggressive attempts at expansion, both within Europe and beyond. Along with that expansion comes the development of merger strategy. Eni does not want to be left as a target for a takeover, which could be a strong possibility given its recent divestitures and the fact that its profits remain strong. Net income for the company for the first half of 2000 was 2,606 millions of euros (equivalent to approximately $2.2 billion), representing a 119-percent increase. Eni is largely considered one of the best buys among the big oil stocks, but it would rather merge with an equal partner than be sold to another company. As consolidation of the oil industry continues, Eni reportedly believes that the only way to remain a top player is to marry an equally large player on the world stage. Enron may be at the top of Eni's list of merger partners. Negotiations with Spain's largest oil company, Repsol, appear to have stalled, as was confirmed when Mincato stated that any "link-up with Repsol would not be a merger of equals." French oil company TotalFina is also interested, but is preoccupied with its own acquisition of fellow French oil company Elf. Other companies that have been mentioned include Conoco and Phillips Petroleum. It is quite obvious that Eni's merger prospects are predominantly oil companies, which is quite clearly the company's intention. Thus, it may seem odd that Enron is also included as a top prospect. Enron, while unquestionably a world player, is known for its unorthodox approach to hard assets. Put succinctly, Enron believes that it doesn't need to own physical assets in order to be a major player, but rather it only needs to rely on strategic contractual agreements. However, if Eni wants to continue to expand globally, it arguably could not find a better partner than Enron, generally considered North America's biggest buyer and seller of electricity and natural gas. Enron's gas trading and distribution activities in particular-along with its electricity production, raw material trading and broadband expansion-would all appear to be good compliments to Eni's portfolio. Reports of talks between the two companies first appeared in the Italian financial paper iL Sole 24 Ore, based on input from an unnamed source. The report indicated that Enron is being targeted by Eni for an equity partnership or even a full merger. Mincato, as recently as Tuesday of this week, continues to adamantly deny that any deal with Enron is being studied. Not surprisingly, Enron is remaining mum on the rumors and has not even mentioned Eni in any recent disclosures. However, the incorporation of Eni's power production portfolio would support Enron's expansion into new markets such as Japan, for example. Back in March, the Japanese government began allowing non-utility firms to supply power to industrial and commercial end-users. Almost simultaneously, Enron established a new subsidiary, Enron Japan Corp., to capitalize on new opportunities in the country. Enron Japan's first offer is a 10-percent discount off current electricity prices for customers who sign on with Enron for two to four years. Operating against its North American strategy, Enron also plans to build a power station in northern Japan, beating to the punch several of its key rivals, including Vivendi, Texaco and Royal Dutch Shell, which also have expressed interest in establishing operations in the country. Enron's proposed power plant should give the company prime access to companies in the Tohoku and Kanto regions, as well as Tokyo, the "big catch" of the Japanese market. In my opinion, herein lies the primary synergy that would make the partnership between Eni and Enron a strategic step for both companies. As Eni attempts to position itself in various key markets, Japan seems like a natural location, and I've seen no reports that indicate Eni is moving into Japan on its own. The fact that Enron is already there, along with most other lucrative international markets, must certainly be appealing to Eni. Regarding Enron's perspective on any potential partnering, Eni's substantial oil and natural-gas generation assets, along with its current lock on the European market, must be very attractive. Enron's current market capitalization is about $48 billion, which actually makes it larger than Eni. This raises the question of which company would be the buying partner if a merger were to indeed take place. All of the rumors flying around currently speak of Eni pursuing Enron, but it could just as easily be the other way around. Those of us who follow Enron closely may find it hard to believe that the powerhouse company would ever be the target for a takeover or even a merger. In any case, the rumors continue to fly as Eni responds to claims of "thou doth protest too much." Whether or not any such merger between Eni and Enron, which appears smart on paper, will materialize remains to be seen. However, it certainly seems like Eni is lining up its chess pieces to cement some kind of partnership in the very near future. ============================================================== SCIENTECH can help you find the answers you need.

Having worked on the Enron Advisory council process, I have one observation: consider having some or all of these individuals as "guest speakers" rather than formal memebers. You can still have them review information, do their homework, and tailor their remarks to Enron specifics. Also, you should definitely include Paul Portney at Resources for the Future. He sits on the Enron Advisory Council and knows the company well.

This council will be comprised of global experts on environmental and social issues, from non-governmental organizations and potentially other businesses, to advise us on trends and issues in this area. An outline of the advisory council structure, along with categories of experts and proposed names is attached below. We expect to convene meetings with this group twice a year, inviting the Enron executive committee and board of directors, as well as the Corporate Responsibility task force, to engage in a dialogue. We plan to present a slate of possible candidates to Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling later this month, and would appreciate your input and any ideas by March 16. Thanks for your consideration.

Legislative package only delays pain, critics warn By Craig D. Rose UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER September 1, 2000 Consumer and political leaders -- as well as Sempra Energy's chief executive -- said yesterday that the three electricity bills before Gov. Gray Davis do nothing to fix the fundamental cause of soaring bills. The cause, they say, is that power generators can continue to charge what most characterize as exorbitant prices for their electricity -- and consumers ultimately face the daunting task of paying them. No matter if all of the bills are signed, the leaders say California's power market will remain a seller's game that gouges overmatched consumers. And while San Diego Gas and Electric Co.'s hard-pressed customers may pay less now, they will pay back all or nearly all the savings -- plus interest -- beginning in 2003. "The governor's bill postpones the pain, but the pain is still there," said Maureen O'Connor, a former mayor of San Diego who has been active in seeking relief from the soaring bills afflicting SDG&E's 1.2 million electricity customers. The rate bill promoted by Davis and now awaiting his signature will have SDG&E's customers pay about 6.5 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity, or 70 percent more than what they paid as recently as May. Power companies, however, will continue to charge the customers as they have; presently, they're charging about 21 cents per kilowatt hour for SDG&E customers. The difference between 6.5 cents and whatever prices above that level emerge from the state's volatile power market will be recorded as IOUs for each customer in so-called balancing accounts. A second bill before the governor could provide up to $150 million in state money to help pay the balancing accounts, but the bulk of the IOUs will almost certainly be paid by SDG&E customers themselves when they become due in 2003 or 2004. A third bill before the governor would speed the construction of power plants. So while the rate bill lets customers pay less now than they owe, it obligates them to pay the balance with interest later. The situation creates the potential for a troublesome compounding effect: The higher electricity prices grow, the more is set aside in the balancing accounts -- and the greater the wallop to customer wallets when the accounts come due. Based upon prices now paid for future electric deliveries, Sempra Energy estimates customers will owe $664 million by 2003. IOUs of that magnitude, said SDG&E, will require that customers pay a surcharge of $40 monthly for a year on top of whatever they are already paying for their power bills. Keep in mind that typical residential bills at this time last year were about $55; they now stand at about $130. Consumer advocates say it's likely power prices will remain at levels that will lead to huge debts for customers under the Davis proposal. "The generators have shown themselves to be unconscionable in extorting profits," said Nettie Hoge, executive director of TURN, a San Francisco-based consumer group. Hoge said the bills that emerged "seemed the best a corrupt system could spit out." She added that TURN and other groups will shift their focus to pressuring the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to restrain the electric generating companies and wholesale power markets. FERC, she said, must legally determine if charges from generating companies are reasonable. TURN and other groups will also press for re-regulation of the industry and will begin to explore municipally owned generating plants. Michael Shames of the Utility Consumers' Action Network supports the Davis bill, although he said it won't fix "the almost irreparably broken California energy system." "The problem is that California's electricity customers have been subjected to market prices in a dysfunctional energy market," Shames said. "It's a market controlled by the sellers of power and their cronies." But Shames said the Davis bill provides at least temporary protection against further rate shocks, and he expects taxpayers across the state will ultimately assist SDG&E's customers in paying their electricity bills. But Jamie Court, executive director of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, which has called for re-regulation of the industry, opposes the rate-cap legislation. "This keeps ratepayers and taxpayers on the hook for the costs," said Court, who added that the bill also locks in near doubling of power rates compared to last year. Stephen Baum, chief executive officer of Sempra, said the bill puts SDG&E -- a Sempra subsidiary -- in the position of financing the difference between what power companies charge for their power and what it collect from customers over the next three years. The balancing accounts, Baum said, could grow so large that they will challenge Sempra's ability to borrow to cover them. "The problem is with the wholesale markets," said Baum, who today becomes chairman as well as chief executive of Sempra. "This legislation does nothing but postpone a big bill." He added that Sempra believed the bill included ambiguities that could be illegal if not later clarified by the California Public Utilities Commission. "If (the PUC) can't or won't, then I think the legislation is legally flawed and can't stand," Baum said.
