Mark,
I am sorry, but there seems to be a little confusion in our shop about who
your attorney should be on this deal. I was given Andrew O'Connor's name,
and left him a message to which he finally responded. He is now expecting to
see this CA. I have now been given Wesley Fredericks name as your attorney.
I don't want to cause any conflict between attorneys, and wanted to get your
direction as to how I should handle this.
I am Tana Jones, and I am a paralegal in the Legal Department and my phone
number is 713/853-3399.

Good morning
I spoke to our lawyer yesterday on how we could possibly help you in the work
we had done to date. To be honest the majority of the effort is on the
European side (due to the multi jurisdictional issues) and we haven't really
done a lot in the US particularly on a state level.
Perhaps the most appropriate thing would be for you to give Mark Taylor in
ECT legal a ring to discuss the work we have done and see if there is
anything you can get to save duplication.

Edison filed A.00-05-027, its applications to divest its remaining SO2
credits, on May 15, 2000. ORA protested on June 30, and Edison and ORA
worked out their differences and filed a joint recommendation on October 2.
According to the joint recommendation, which I will fax over to you,
Edison's original proposal was to auction off its SO2 credits. The joint
recommendation accepts the auction approach, except that if no bids are
received for some credits, then those credits will be retained within the
regulated utility, and any future net proceeds will be credited to
ratepayers. It appears that Edison's original proposal would have
transferred such no-bid credits to an unregulated affiliate at zero cost.
The joint recommendation also states that any no-bid credits retained by the
regulated utility will be deemed to have been market valued, and will have a
zero market value for purposes of determining transition costs.
No Commission decision has been issued on this matter. No decision in this
matter appears on the Commission's agenda for March 15. I can follow up on
the status and likely date of decision if you like.
Other than the joint recommendation I am about to fax to you, the only other
documents filed in this case were Edison's application and ORA's protest.
Please let me know if you would like a copy of either of them.

I received this email and wanted to share the photo.
Beautiful but sad.
This awsome picture was taken in the Bitterroot National Forest here in
Montana on August 6, 2000 by a fire behavior analyst from Fairbanks,
Alaska by the name of John McColgan with a Digital camera. Since he
was working while he took the picture, he cannot sell or profit from it
so he should at least be recognized as the photographer of this once
in a lifetime shot.

Gerald/Eric-
I have a couple of questions regarding TGLO transport contract
012-88494-202. We are currently delivering a volume of 28.000mm into various
Midcon interconnects on this contract that are designated to go to
Reliant/Entex for the purpose of heating HISD schools. The transport
contract stipulates different rates for this delivery depending on whether
the gas is intended for state facilities or not. My first question, then,
is: are HISD schools considered state facilities? And, if HISD schools are
considered state facilities, does the fact that this gas is being delivered
to them via Reliant/Entex utilizing Midcon's pipe make any difference?
I am asking these questions not only to assure that we are recouping the
correct transport rate, but also to determine what the consequences might be
if I interrupt this delivery. We are having difficulty getting enough gas
into Midcon to cover our Entex noms and I am just exploring my options. I
would also expect that this volume should decrease when HISD closes for the
Christmas holidays- does the fact that this is an IT agreement give me enough
leverage to cut this nom if TGLO does not do so voluntarily?
Thanks for your help.

This is the amendment offered per the House Commerce Committee's request in
order to allow "a more sufficient state role." This was drafted per
sign-off from our conference call with Steve Kean, Joe Hartsoe and Dan
Watkiss yesterday plus drafted with the buy-in from numerous attorneys
representing various stakeholders with NARUC being the essential
participant. The staff and stakeholders meet again early Monday morning to
determine if this agreement is sufficient to meet the needs of Congressman
Barton so we can proceed to mark-up. If this proves the case, we will need
to immediately also lobby the other provisions which need amendment, but have
been held at bay until the transmission language loggerhead we created is
removed. The plan would be to determine on Monday the "go" vs. "no go" to
full Commerce Committee mark-up. With an affirmative decision, the mark-up
would proceed at round-the-clock, record pace with conclusion completed by
Thursday, July 27th. We will continue to advise you of the status.
As an aside, with Congressman Largent comparing this effort to a "Hail Mary"
pass; he said this with optimism. And for you football fans, with the
Congressman having been one of the best receivers in the country; our odds
are better than they would have been otherwise. Perhaps this is like
numerous state efforts before which were pronounced "dead" but resurrected
for enactment at the final hour.
With the comprehensive bill activity, the stand-alone reliability bill
viability will not be considered until September, if at all. This bill's
Savings Clause "new" agreement failure also makes bill movement problematic
as does the agreement we achieved from all the Stakeholders to share our
position to block its movement. We have drafted a letter to the Speaker
which is waiting in the wings (to be singed by numerous groups) should it
become necessary.

Best of the Web Today - December 13, 2001
By JAMES TARANTO
The Osama Video http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20011213/ts/afghan_bin_laden_tape.html
The Pentagon has released the video of Osama bin Laden, found at a house in Jalalabad; the transcript http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/12/13/tape.transcript/ is here and " Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/12/13/ret.bin.laden.quotes/index.html
USA Today reports U.S. officials are disputing yesterday's Christian Science Monitor http://www.csmonitor.com/2001/1213/p1s1-wosc.html report that bin Laden has fled to Pakistan. "I'm sure he's there," one defense official tells USA Today, referring to the Tora Bora cave hideout. "If there was any indication that he wasn't there, we'd know." The Monitor's source was Abu Jaffar, a "senior al Qaeda operative and Saudi financier," who is still in Afghanistan, in a "village still sympathetic to Mr. bin Laden and his fighters." Reuters http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011213/ts/attack_afghan_binladen_dc_9.html reports Pakistan also denies the Monitor report.
The Times of London http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,2001560016-2001573974,00.html%20 , however, reports that "the last remnants" of al Qaeda's military force "were trickling across the border into Pakistan yesterday after the death or capture of more than half their fighters. . . . Once in Pakistan, individuals are likely to try to flee to third countries, such as Somalia, Yemen or Sudan, where al-Qaeda has strong support." The Telegraph http://www.portal.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2001/12/13/wbinx13.xml&sSheet=/portal/2001/12/13/ixport.html reports that "the US navy is scouring the world's oceans and ports for a fleet of 23 merchant ships owned by Osama bin Laden, fearing that the vessels could be used to help him escape or carry weapons of mass destruction to the West."
On to Somalia http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2001/12/13/wsom13.xml&sSheet=/news/2001/12/13/ixhome.html
The Telegraph reports that Britain has persuaded Kenya to allow American special forces to use bases for a planned attack on al Qaeda operations in Somalia. President Daniel arap Moi fears that a large-scale assault on Somlia would bring a flood of refugees into Kenya, but "intensive studies of Somalia, where al-Qa'eda terrorists have been able to hide and train in the past, have shown the Pentagon that a broad military campaign as used in Afghanistan would not be necessary to destroy Osama bin Laden's limited network there."
Talk About Sick http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37022-2001Dec13.html
Thirteen injured Arab fighters have explosives tied to their waists and "threatening to blow themselves up if anyone other than medical staff entered their rooms" at a Kandahar hospital, the Associated Press reports. "They don't allow anybody to see them except just those who are treating them, dressing the wounds or cleaning the rooms," says Ghulam Mohammed Afghan, Mirwais Hospital's head nurse. "They are scared and they don't want to talk about anything. It's extremely difficult for the hospital staff because they or other patients could get injured. It's dangerous."
How hard can it be to neutralize this problem? Can't the nurses just inject the patients with a tranquilizer?
Jewish Terror Bust http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-121301jdl.story
Irv Rubin, head of the Jewish Defense League, and Earl Krugel, his West Coast coordinator, are under arrest in Los Angeles, charged with "conspiracy to destroy a building by means of an explosive" and "possession of a destructive device related to a crime of violence." Rubin and Krugel allegedly planned to blow up the King Fahd Mosque in Culver City, Calif., and an office of Rep. Darrell Issa, a California Republican who is Arab-American. The Los Angeles Times reports:
*** QUOTE ***
The alleged plot, according to an FBI affidavit, was revealed by a JDL member who was first contacted by Rubin and Krugel in October about participating in attacks on local Arab-related institutions. In a subsequent tape-recording of a meeting at Krugel's residence, the affidavit alleges, Krugel said Arabs needed "a wake-up call" and Rubin said the JDL needed to draw more attention to itself in a "militant way."
*** END QUOTE ***
Watch for the root-cause crowd to come forward with the usual explanations: The poverty and oppression under which L.A. Jews live makes this sort of thing understandable, if not inevitable; they did it as a protest against U.S. foreign policy; their alleged targets need to ask themselves: Why do they hate us? Yeah, we expect to hear this stuff any minute now.
Terror in New Delhi http://www.hindustantimes.com/nonfram/131201/dlnat125.asp
A terrorist attack on India's Parliament has claimed the lives of six cops and a Parliament staffer. Also dead are all six terrorists, who "set off massive blasts and reportedly used AK-47 rifles, RDX and Chinese-made grenades for the attack," according to the Hindustan Times. No word yet on who's behind the attack.
Israel and Arafat http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A36825-2001Dec13.html
In response to the latest Arab terrorist attacks, Israel has severed all contact with Palestinian Authority honcho Yasser Arafat, bombed his headquarters and sent troops into Arab towns. Israel's security cabinet put out a statement saying Arafat was "directly responsible" for the latest round of terrorism "and therefore is no longer relevant to Israel, and Israel will no longer have any connection with him." Israel's justice minister also says meetings of Israeli and Palestinian security commanders, arranged by U.S. envoy Anthony Zinni, will end.
USA Today http://usatoday.com/usatonline/20011213/3696554s.htm notes that "in the latest attack, a bomb was detonated under a bus outside the Israeli community of Emanuel. Palestinians opened fire on fleeing passengers and shot at rescuers who arrived to treat the injured. One gunman was killed. Taking credit [sic] for the attack was the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an underground militia affiliated with Arafat's Fatah group. The brigade said it took part in the attack with Hamas, a group opposed to the state of Israel."
Slate's " Today's Papers http://slate.msn.com/?id=2059710 " column asks: "If Hamas and Fatah members did indeed work together on the attacks, would it be the first such joint operation between the two groups? Because that would certainly be a notable development."
White House press secretary Ari Fleischer http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/12/20011212-8.html said yesterday that "it is imperative that Chairman Arafat take every step possible to stop the violence, to stop the attacks. It's hard to imagine how a peace process can be fruitful and take hold if there is no peace, if there's killing"--an obvious point, but such clarity has been lacking in Washington until recently.
Another encouraging sign from the U.S.: The Jerusalem Post http://www.jpost.com/Editions/2001/12/13/LatestNews/LatestNews.39892.html reports that "after a three-year lobbying effort by US Jewish groups and families of Americans who were murdered by Palestinian terrorists, the State Department announced this week that it plans to publicize rewards of up to $5 million for for information leading to the capture of Palestinian killers of US citizens on its "Rewards for Justice" website."
Our Friends the Saudis http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/13/international/middleeast/13SAUD.html
The New York Times (link requires registration) notes that the government of Saudi Arabia took no note of the three-month anniversary of the Sept. 11 atrocities:

The only event known to have taken place in the kingdom was a one- minute moment of silence late Tuesday afternoon at the United States Embassy in Riyadh, which no Saudi officials attended. In other Arab countries, including Egypt and Kuwait, government officials attended memorial services sponsored by American embassies.
*** END QUOTE ***
Osama bin Laden grew up in Saudi Arabia, and 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudis.
From Hot Tubs to High Treason http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/nat-gen/2001/dec/12/121208170.html
The Associated Press visits San Anselmo, Calif., hometown of Marin mujahid John Walker. This snippet says it all:
*** QUOTE ***
"I don't think it's a big deal for young people to have weird ideas," said Nahshon Nahumi, who repairs hot tubs in the hills above the home of Walker's mother. "My concern is more for his well-being, to help him recover."
*** END QUOTE ***
The AP adds that at Tamiscal High School http://tamiscal.marin.k12.ca.us/ , Walker's alma mater, "Principal Marcie Miller said the highly competitive school remains proud of Walker as well as its other students, who tend to be self-directed."
Meanwhile, the Adelaide Advertiser http://www.theadvertiser.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,3424536%255E910,00.html has identified the Australian bin Ladenite captured by the Northern Alliance. He is David Hicks, alias "Mohammed Dawood," a 26-year-old Muslim convert. His father, Terry Hicks, got a call from David Sept. 28, and son told father he was fighting for the Taliban. Cheers to Terry Hicks for being much more clear-headed than John Walker's parents. "I think of a terrorist as someone with a bomb strapped to him, but he's a terrorist in our eyes as he's fighting against his own kind," the elder Hicks tells the Advertiser. "I told him what I thought of what he was doing."
Stupidity Watch http://www.sacbee.com/state_wire/story/1307113p-1375526c.html
The Berkeley, Calif., City Council "voted Tuesday night to supply workers who answer the city's general information phones with material about the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors," the Associated Press reports. "The idea is to have information available so staff can refer anyone who calls asking about how to avoid military combat." The council defeated an amendment that would also have made available information about military recruitment.
Now, you're probably thinking: What's the news here? After all, everyone knows the majority of the Berkeley City Council is unpatriotic. Yes, but we didn't know quite how stupid they were. Didn't it occur to any of them that America has a volunteer military? If you want to avoid military service, you don't need to declare yourself a "conscientious objector." Just don't enlist!
She Should Have Walked http://www.nypost.com/news/nationalnews/36479.htm
We've heard a few stories of people trying to scam insurance companies by falsely claiming loved ones died Sept. 11, but this one takes the cake. The New York Post reports Jihad Razzaq has been indicted in New Orleans. The indictment says Razzaq "tried to cash in his wife's $100,000 life-insurance policy when in fact she had left the United States for her native Jordan":
*** QUOTE ***
The 54-year-old man apparently told New York Life that his wife was shopping at the World Trade Center site when the buildings crumbled.
Red flags were raised when he said she had taken a taxi there from New Orleans.

When I Saw This Court Order, I Thought Immediately of You http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/nm/20011212/tc/tech_magiclantern_dc_1.html
The FBI has confirmed it's working on a project called "Magic Lantern" that "would allow the agency to plant a Trojan horse keystroke logger on a target's PC by sending a computer virus over the Internet," Reuters reports. The agency would need a court order before it could send the virus.
DeLay Can't Wait http://www.rollcall.com/pages/news/00/2001/12/news1213a.html
Roll Call reports that House Republican whip Tom DeLay has the votes to succeed Dick Armey as House majority leader. Paul Gigot http://opinionjournal.com/columnists/pgigot/?id=95001582 broke the story of Armey's retirement.
Why Not Ammo Vouchers? http://www.hollandsentinel.com/stories/121201/loc_121201013.shtml
Why do some social conservatives continue to vote Democratic? The Holland (Mich.) Sentinel quotes an explanation from Mark Brewer, Michigan's Democratic chairman: "A lot of people in our party are pro-life--it's the same thing when you talk about the gun issue. What unifies us tends to be the economic issues. I tell people, 'If you don't have a job, you can't afford a gun, let alone the ammunition.' We're a very diverse party."
Those Wild Republicans http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_np=0&u_pg=36&u_sid=260627
The Omaha World-Herald reports that a melee broke out the other night at a meeting of Omaha Young Republicans--the second time in a month that police have been called to break up a fight at the GOP group's meetings. "Police arrested a 38-year-old Omaha man who had been banned from the sports bar where the group meets after starting a brawl at its Nov. 12 meeting," the paper reports. "The man was booked Tuesday on suspicion of refusing to leave and obstructing an officer, both misdemeanors. He was being held late Tuesday at the Police Headquarters."
Meanwhile, Reuters http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011212/re/people_young_dc_1.html reports that "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker announced at a convention of the liberal-left People for the American Way that they're "proud Republicans." Andrew Sullivan http://andrewsullivan.com quickly pronounced himself the third "South Park Republican."
The Lights Are On, but No One's Home http://www.nationalreview.com/derbyshire/derbyshire121301.shtml
London's Tate Gallery has awarded its prestigious Turner prize to 33-year-old Martin Creed for "an empty room with lights that flicker on and off every five seconds," National Review's John Derbyshire writes. "Mr. Creed's previous exhibits include a scrunched-up sheet of plain typing paper, a piece of plasticine stuck to a wall, and neon signs bearing cheery messages":
*** QUOTE ***
Prior to the announcement of Mr. Creed's triumph, the favorite for the prize was Mike Nelson, who (I am quoting here from a British newspaper report) "works with rubbish," and whose prize submission was a pile of planks. The other shortlisted artists were Richard Billingham, exhibiting photos of his alcoholic father, who lives in a Glasgow slum, and Isaac Julien, who entered some short films about homosexual cowboys.
*** END QUOTE ***
Then there's James Beal, who, the Associated Press http://www.mlive.com/newsflash/index.ssf?/cgi-free/getstory_ssf.cgi?g9791_BC_MI--ManureAssault&&news&newsflash-michigan reports, works with porcupine feces and worms. He won an award . . . oh, sorry, actually he was arrested:
*** QUOTE ***
According to a court affidavit from Postal Inspector Ted Andersen, Postmaster Virginia Raz called Beal on Oct. 17 and suggested that he resign [from his job as a relief postmaster in Empire, Mich.] because of poor performance.
"If you want to play rough, fire me," Beal replied, according to the affidavit. "I will roast you in this . . . town."
Raz immediately fired him. The next day, Beal said he took the two buckets of fecal matter and worms, which he had gathered in some woods, to the post office.
He said he threw the contents of one bucket at several employees, then left for about 30 seconds before returning with the second bucket to splatter more muck on mail and another employee. . . .
Beal's actions also halted local mail delivery the next day while a hazardous-materials team cleaned and repackaged mail with a note explaining the damage.
*** END QUOTE ***
If we get one of those letters, we're forwarding it to the Tate Gallery.

As indicated in the message Thursday from Cathy Phillips, please send the
following message to all groups within Enron Wholesale Services this
evening. Also, as requested, please use the Enron Global Markets - Office of
the Chairman letterhead and send the proof before final distribution. Please
send the final proof as quickly as possible. If you have any questions,
please contact Jennifer Burns at X-39440. Thanks.
To: All of Enron Wholesale Services
From: Enron Global Markets - Office of the Chairman
Subject: Organizational Announcement
Enron Global Markets (EGM) has made numerous organizational changes as its
businesses continue to grow and expand around the world. We are pleased to
announce the following changes within EGM.
Financial Trading
The Convertible Arbitrage desk has moved from EnronCredit.com to the
Financial Trading group under Gary Hickerson. Mike Bradley will manage the
desk.
Billy Lemmons has joined Gary Hickerson's group from EIM. He is exploring
the agriculture value chain and origination opportunities.
Transportation and Shipping
Dan Reck will be transitioning out of the coal group and will be exploring
our rail and trucking initiatives. These markets together represent
approximately $105 billion notionally, and we believe there are many
synergies between our energy, coal, and freight trading businesses.
Enron is currently trading dry-freight through EOL and is a leading market
maker in this new product. The shipping business is growing very quickly. We
have asked Pierre Aury and Scott Montcrief to co-lead our worldwide vessel
trading businesses. Scott will be responsible for all liquids vessel
businesses and Pierre will manage all dry vessel businesses. The LNG vessel
business currently managed by Wayne Perry will remain in the LNG group, but
will also report to and coordinate with Pierre and Scott.
Weather
Our worldwide weather operations will continue to report to Mark Tawney in
Houston. This business, which includes trading weather products in 10
countries and 40 states in the U.S., is also rapidly expanding. Mark will
have all V@R allocation responsibility between Sydney, Tokyo, Oslo, and
Houston. In addition we will be forming a weather-marketing desk in London.
Crude and Products
Bill White will be coming over from EBS and will have responsibility for all
U.S. financial crude trading. Don Schroeder will continue to have oversight
and lead our physical crude business. Mario De La Ossa has joined EGM from
Equiva and will manage our product options book.
Doug Leach will be expanding his fuel management and origination role. He
will report directly to John Nowlan.
Finance and Structuring
Andrew Makk has joined the finance team from the Middle East group. Most
recently he has been working on the Gaza project.
Jim Lewis has also joined this team. His last assignment was leading the
structuring group for CALME.
Both Andrew and Jim will report to Larry Lawyer.
Corporate Development
Mark Wadlington has joined the EGM team and will be managing this activity
and co-ordinating with all Enron Corp. He reports to Tim Detmering with
accountability to the office of the chairman of EGM.
Operations and Accounting
Todd Hall has expanded his role as Business Controller and will have
responsibility for coal and weather.
Mike Perun has joined Enron from the banking industry and is responsible for
Controls & Standards. He will focus on EGM,s operational and accounting
processes on a global basis. He reports to Brent Price.
The Ecoelectrica power plant in Puerto Rico will move reporting
responsibility into the Enron Global Assets group. Greg Curran, who is
responsible for all the activities in Puerto Rico, will report to that group
on all Ecoelectrica business and to Enron Global Markets on the remaining
businesses.
Please join us in congratulating everyone in their new roles.

The following power point presentation graphically sets forth the steps
necessary to integrate MG plc into Enron NetWorks L.P. This presentation
differs from that sent to several of you last week in that there are now
dotted lines in red around those pieces of MG that are affected at each stage
of the reorganization and solid red lines around the same pieces reflecting
where they wind up at each such stage - hopefully a more friendly on the eyes
presentation. Please do not hesitate to call regarding any piece of the
presentation. My best to all. Steve.

I didn't talk to them expressly but Rob told me at my review that Jim wanted
him to tell me that I was "on the line" for the International litigation
until you and Mark told him that I was "relieved of duty." So I have sort
of reverted back to feeling primarily responsible for it since I know you are

Subject: Cuiaba Call--legal issues
1. Consent Issue: Jose Bestard (he's the main developer who did this deal)
reported that he met with Furnas this week. Furnas had not received EPE's
letter addressing the consent issue. Furnas continues to link its failure to
sign the consent to commercial exposure to the high price from the MAE. There
are initials on the original consent and no one (including Furnas) knows
whose they are. John Novak told me he's not sure of the significance, but it
is not uncommon in Brazil to initial documents. Nevertheless, we need to ask
our Brazilian lawyers whether there is any significance under Brazilian law.
Keep in mind also that consent document was between EPE and the assignor,
Electronorte.
2. Arbitration considerations: Bestard has a meeting planned with the
ambassador. He consulted Enron's financial/business consultant in Brazil,
Winston Fernino (sp?) who advised that we should exhaust all political
avenues before resorting to litigation or arbitration. What concerns me,
however, is his advice that, politically, it is not the time to seek
assistance fromthe president for the consent, that there is a political
battle in the senate, and that we should wait until the end of February to
seek political assistance. My view on that is, to wait 4 more weeks to
progress with this notice of default, when the 90 day cure period has
expired, plus the 30 day extension which has also expired, sends the wrong
message and weakens our position. Thus, it is my recommendation that we
proceed immediately with a notice to terminate under Clause 27, paragraph 2
of the PPA, which then requires a 30day consultation period (paragraph3) at
the end of which we have the option to terminate. This buys us a little
time, but keeps the pressure on, at the end of which we can initiate
proceedings to compel the consent or to terminate. I'm not sure what
reaction the notice to terminate could bring about from Furnas. I'm not sure
how that plays out in our settlement with Siemans. Consider also that the
commercial people are not comfortable with termination yet. I am not sure
what rights, if any, we waive by waiting around doing nothing or how that may
affect our position in arbitration or litigation (something we need to look
at under the contract, although I cannot immediately recall any deadlines or
express waivers related to timing in this regard). I committed that we would
advise the team on the next call (next Thursday) our recommendation with
respect to arbitration/litigation. I want to make sure they understand
every possibility so they can make an informed decision. You have the matrix
developed already if you want to expand on that, or handle that your own
way. Bestard opines that Furnas will fight hard, that they have
traditionally been very adversarial and uncooperative. I'll find out who
represents them.
3. Force Majeure: Furnas is also taking a very strong position that EPE
does not have a valid force majeure claim. Based on my reading of the
contract, our facts appear to fit squarely under Clause 95(c). However, I'm
told we did not comply strictly to the notice terms. We'll need to show that
we were not negligent as a cause for the attorney general's action. Laine
Powell, President of the Cuiaba companies will gather the information on our
force majeure claim and we need to consider the legal issues related to our
position. Note that if FM lasts more than 12 consecutive months, both
parties have the right to terminate. No one buys the plant and we're stuck.
I'll find out the date of our last FM notice. There have been several.
4. Budget: Lets consider what it will cost to nail down this arbitration
concern and give initial advice on how to proceed over the next week, what
it will cost to prepare for arbitration and, the cost of the arbitration.
Darren I'll call you tomorrow and we can break that out. We may want to
consider the litigation route. We'll need to put together some kind of
proposed or potential time line, and what will happen in each stage and tie a
number to it. I've done this with Pete before and he seems to like it. It
needs to be subject to review as we go along.
5.NEXT: Prep for the call and get a recommended strategy in place. I'm going
to get together all our opinions on the Brazilian state of arbitration and
get a conference call with one of these experts so we can get the best
advice. We certainly have some conflicting views. Our experience in the
Brazilian courts is that nothing happens and we could be stuck for years, so
I am inclined to take our chances with arbitration and we may get stuck in
the court anyway. If we go to court, perhaps Furnas would take the position
that we must arbitrate, that is what Fernando Serec said. Who knows.
Please give me your comments or just call me. I'm open to any suggestions.
John Novak will be able to tell us about all the competing concerns that I
may be unaware of with any strategic plan.
Regards,
Michelle

I just faxed all of you the new DA language moments ago. This went to
legislative counsel last night. The bill may be heard by the Assembly
Energy Committee tomorrow. Draft language will not be available until
either late today or early tomorrow.
Late yesterday, the Governor met with various large users including the
Chamber, CMTA, WSPA, CLECA, CRA and BOMA. They are all opposed to the bill
for a variety of reasons but most importantly, because the entire repayment
burden rests on their shoulders. CLECA, CMTA and WSPA are especially upset
about self generation which essentially disappears under the new provisions
of the bill. Also, none of them consider the DA language beneficial.

Subject: CEQA ruling
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL
ATTORNEY CLIENT COMMUNICATIONS
Jeff, we wanted to make sure you were aware that the CPUC approved an
alternate decision from Loretta Lynch today that limits the ability of
Edison (CLEC light) to use leased facilities from other providers as an
alternative to getting CEQA approval and building its own facilities.
Upon initial review, it doesn't appear that the ruling would preclude
the arrangement we discussed, in which Enron would purchase SERVICE
(which could be dark fiber) from a carrier with CEQA authority even
though provision of the service would require building new facilities.
I'd like to wait until I see the final version of the decision before
giving you a more definite interpretation, but I wanted to make sure you
were aware of this development until then. Please call if you have any
immediate questions.

We still do not have a good cash flow from ERMS. Several Books which were
changed on Friday did not get added back by Risk Controls in the clean-up
process this morning, including the book, MAHII, which had the $650 milllion
prepay.

Subject: Controls needed to ensure cashflows are received by Infinity
Shona, Brent and Sally,
This morning, the cash flows from approximately 75 books were not received by
Infinity from the ERMS system. We normally get 375 books and only got 296
this morning.
Per conversation with Joyce Kuo and Mike Moscoso, Susan Trevino, Risk
Controls, and Christian, RAC, changed the book heirarchy on Friday, moving
global products books, including the prepays, out of the ECT group and into
another group. We have had discussions in the past verifying with Risk
Controls that the ECT group is the only group which automatically sends its
cash flows to Infinity. Other cash flows from books are included only by
being listed in a script. This was not done when the books were moved from
the ECT Group on Friday.
Obviously, the Rate & Currency is not able to hedge Enron's cash flows when
so much has been omitted. At this time we are about one hour away from a
good Hedging report for the trading desk. This report is due the desk daily
by 7:30 am.
Mike and I discussed the need for controls and sign-off by him or Shona for
changes in book heirarchy.

Get ready. Beginning in November, electronic pay stubs will be available to all employees who have their paychecks direct deposited into their bank account. Electronic pay stubs are an easy, fast, and efficient way for you to get your payroll information. They will also help Enron to realize a considerable savings in time and dollars spent over traditional printed pay stubs.
If you prefer to receive a hardcopy of your pay stub, click on the link below to complete a request form. This form must be submitted to Payroll by October 15, 2001. Unless you submit a form your pay stub information will default to electronic viewing.
Please click on the link below.

1) The G-IMB rate is the monthly gas adjustment rate published on their web page. For Sept., it was $3.92 per Dth. (Last winter, it exceeded $60 per Dth.) The calculation under Sec 6 of the margin agreement would always use the most recently published price.
2) Their current calculation shows a short of 76,000 Dth based on usage of 648,000 and delivery of 572,000. Brent will fax me the actual documentation.
3) Gas in storage is not pledgeable for this purpose. They are saying storage gas is already required under the contract.
Brent told me there will definitely be a letter sent to Enron today spelling out the request and consequences for non-compliance by the 13th. I need to know who all should receive this letter and proposed agreement.

Subject: ADA Findings
I have met with Gustavo Mengui, one of the most active representatives of ADA
today.
My findings are the following:
ADA is very active and taking a leading role on the NETTING ISSUE. Good news
is that they consider that they will be able to pass a law that redifines
netting on the bankrupcy law by year end. They assume that they will have
"media sanci?n" before mid December. Media sanci?n is basically having
approval by one of the chambers (Diputados) and a strong support to going to
the Senators Chamber shortly after. We will receive the law project today.
The law project was designed by Hector Alegria. Gustavo assumes that they
will be available to talking with our legal team upon request.
They have received from the Central Bank a request to propose all necessary
changes in the regulations so as to have the (interest rate mainly)
derivatives market going asap. This shows a fertile ground on this
institution for our future conversations.
On the CNV's side, he stated that the porject of law (on netting) was
actively supported by this body. ACtually, he commented that CNV officials
were active speakers when this matter was treated in the commission session
at Congress.
ADA is working with PWC on the tax issues. ADA and PWC are preparing to
present the government officials their proposal for the Ingresos Brutos
treatment of derivatives in the City of Buenos Aires (makes me think that we
have been talking to the right guys these last days).
Gustavo was crystal clear that, although they have been supported and funded
by banks, they are a Foundation and they are open to working with Enron. He
insisted that he does not expect conflict of interest to arise and that the
energy sector is strategical for them, specially considering the recent
evolution in financial energy trading.
There will be some issues regarding the support ADA will give to the Rofex
effort of creating an energy market. The OTC versus the formal exchange issue
is to be addressed.
ADA is willing to work with us on the future and we might have to do some
follow up meetings to get this type of news earlier.
My personal opinion is that we might like to go ahead with our conversations
with regulators and officials but I doubt whether we should go with ADA or
not. There are various pros and cons.
Lets talk for 5 minutes,
Bernardo

Subject: Governor's Proposals Go Public
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 1, 2000
GOVERNOR DAVIS RESPONDS TO FERC WITH INITIATIVES ON ELECTRICITY PRICES,
SUPPLY
SACRAMENTO - Responding to a draft proposal by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC), Governor Gray Davis today announced several initiatives
to ensure reliable and affordable electricity in California.
In a letter to the federal regulators, the Governor outlined a variety of
regulatory and legislative actions to keep the state,s electricity prices at
the lowest reasonable cost. They include innovative measures to encourage
the siting of power plants in compliance with the state,s environmental
laws, restructuring the state,s power-buying agencies to eliminate conflicts
of interests, and promoting energy conservation and voluntary cutbacks by
larger users during periods of high electricity demand.
"If you do your job of protecting consumers by rectifying the wholesale
markets, the steps I have to take can be transitional in nature and limited
in scope," wrote Gov. Davis, who also reiterated his call to FERC to order
retroactive refunds to San Diego and Orange County consumers, and to impose
price caps on the price of wholesale electricity. "I cannot in good
conscience, however, forego any measure that would serve to protect the
people of California until I am satisfied that the sellers in the wholesale
markets will not victimize Californians again."
Governor Davis, who inherited the problems of deregulation as a result of
legislation signed by Governor Pete Wilson in 1996, said that "The free
market applied to electricity can work, but only if market conditions allow
for real competition, and if all parties act responsibly." The Governor
added "Even though FERC had recently concluded that California,s market was
+dysfunctional,, its draft proposal fails to include measures to stop
out-of-state electrical generators from price gouging, and would lead to
higher prices next summer."
The Governor,s proposals include:
Introducing legislation to dramatically change the membership of the ISO and
PX, eliminating members of the board that have what he called "inherent
conflicts of interest" and replacing them with independent members;
Seeking legislation that will allow new approaches - such as emissions
credit trading - to aid in the siting of new power plants;
Calling on the state,s Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to promote
distributed generation and co-generation;
Accelerating voluntary efforts by the private sector as well as state
agencies to reduce their energy use during peak periods;
Expanding "forward contracting" by utilities that would allow multi-year
contracts to reduce price volatility and ensure reliability;
Asking the PUC to expedite its investigation of the state,s electricity
demand reduction programs for commercial users, and adopt new programs to
allow voluntary interruptions that will allow the reduction of electricity
use during peak power periods;
Reviewing new measures to coordinate power-plant maintenance and operating
activities;
Requiring utilities to retain their existing generation facilities instead
of selling them off at least until the market becomes competitive; and
Calling on the PUC and California Energy Commission (CEC) to study providing
"real time price signals" (such as metering) to large energy users to reduce
energy use.
Governor Davis noted that in the decade prior to his administration, no
power plants were built in the state. But since April 1999, six power plants
representing 4,700 MW of new generation have been approved. Twenty more
applications are under review and 11 more are in the pipeline.
"This represents a significant change in policy and performance and responds
to the fact that we must increase supply as rapidly as possible without
abrogating our commitment to state and federal public health and
environmental protection," he said.
The Governor,s initiatives announced today reflects his commitment to FERC
Chairman James Hoecker at a hearing last month in San Diego to provide input
into FERC,s final order on the California electricity market. That decision
could come as early as December 13, 2000.
The Governor will continue to meet with legislative leaders, consumer
groups, and other interested parties to discuss additional options. He said
a more complete plan cannot be developed until FERC,s final order has been
announced and analyzed.

Ryan,
In the follow up to the meeting we had on Wednesday I would like
to reinforce one point I made. I feel strongly that I cannot support
the valuations my group has produced so far for the LJM/Raptor
related transactions without examination of all the related legal documents.
I feel that we did solid work based on verbal information, but I cannot
guarantee the quality of the final product without looking at the contracts.
These transactions are too complex and controversial to bypass due diligence requirements
that you would expect from any professional.

Gil,
This is the infamous Year 2 Telecommunications bill that was for the T-1 or T-3 line (?) for the website that was used for day-to-day operational communications between
BUG and ENA. As we discussed last week, ENA verbally agreed to pay this bill over the term of the deal. The cost of the telecommunications service was not
explicitly covered under either the Supply or the Asset Agreement. I am assuming that the settlement agreement will be covering this under the category of "issues and
payments". Please let me know if you want me to address this directly with Ed.

As per our phone conversation please see the attached e-mail denoting
the moneys that the accounting area is claiming were never paid to
KeySpan (Brooklyn Union). If this amount isn't paid by the end of
November 2001, these charges will be booked against the Gas Control NY
budget so that accounting can close out the year 2000. We would like to
avoid this situation if at all possible. There was never any dispute
from Enron regarding these charges and they were sent all the proper
paperwork. If Enron claims that they paid us, I need proof from them to
give to accounting. Please advise.

California Lawmakers Vote to Limit Power Costs
By Rebecca Smith
09/01/2000
The Wall Street Journal
Page A4
(Copyright (c) 2000, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
California lawmakers voted to extend modest relief to San Diego residents
burdened with
high electricity bills and set the groundwork for faster construction of
badly needed power
plants. They stopped short, however, of passing legislation that would
roll back retail power
rates to levels seen prior to deregulation .
Late Wednesday, lawmakers sent a bill to Gov. Gray Davis that limits to
6.5 cents per
kilowatt hour the amount that small customers of San Diego Gas & Electric
Co. can be
charged. The utility is allowed to add power-delivery and other
reasonable costs to that
commodity price.
The price, equivalent to a bulk power cost of $65 per megawatt hour, is
far higher than the
average price of power for 27 of the 31 months in which California's
market has been
deregulated. But in June and July, the average price of power obtained by
the utility from a
state-sanctioned energy auction rose to 12 cents and 10.5 cents,
respectively, compared
with the 2.3 cents and 2.8 cents charged in those months a year earlier.
Passed directly through to customers,the resulting bills sparked a near
mutiny. The
rate-cap measure applies to residential and small commercial customers,
as well as to
schools and hospitals.
In addition to the rate cap, which can be adjusted upward or downward by
the California
Public Utilities Commission until December 2002, the legislature
earmarked $150 million of
general-fund revenue, which can be used to subsidize San Diego power
costs if they greatly
exceed the 6.5-cents-per-kilowatt-hour rate. For now, the utility would
be expected to make
up any difference between revenue collected and the actual cost.
Steve Baum, chairman of Sempra Energy, parent of San Diego Gas & Electric
Co., said the
rate-cap measure is "deeply flawed" because it limits the amount prices
can rise but sets
no floor. That means any shortfall could grow -- without a mechanism for
customers to pay
it down -- until the end of the rate-cap period, which could last until
December 2002 or
December 2003.
Mr. Baum said Sempra stands to suffer an undercollection of perhaps $664
million, provided
future prices approximate the New York Mercantile Exchange forward prices
through
December 2002. "It's irreparably damaging to Sempra," he said because it
"creates
tremendous uncertainty" that makes it hard for the San Diego energy
company to finance
new projects such as a new transmission line.
The legislature also appeared likely to approve a bill speeding up the
permit process for the
construction of new power plants, in part by beefing up staffs of
regulatory agencies that
review the plans.

Subject: Proposed London Equity Trading Desk
Mark,
Further to Mark Haedicke's e-mails, for your information please see below my
e-mail of yesterday evening to Mark Haedicke and Scott Sefton re the impact
of English law on a potential Equity trading desk based in London.
Kind regards
Mark

Mark Elliott
02/02/99 06:33 PM
To: Mark E Haedicke/HOU/ECT@ECT, Scott Sefton/LON/ECT@ECT
cc:
Subject: Proposed London Equity Trading Desk
I have reviewed the above proposal (which includes having had some in-depth
conference calls with Slaughter & May, London) and conclude that the project
is technically and legally viable provided that the points listed below are
dealt with. Mark, once you have read this note, if you would like to discuss
the contents with Scott and me, please do not hesitate to give us a call.
SFA Authorisation and Structure
On account of the potential frequency and size of trading (even on an
execution-only basis for ECT Investments Inc), the London Desk should be
authorised by the SFA. The personnel involved in the activity should be
registered with the SFA as, at least, Securities Representatives, and
preferably as General Representatives.
Accordingly, subject to Tax Department's input, the London traders should be
located in EEFT (already SFA-regulated) which would act as arranger or agent
for the existing Houston-based equity trading corporation, ECT Investments,
Inc (the latter as principal).
Subject to Tax and other internal considerations, it would also be possible
for EEFT to act as agent to do this business for, as principal, either
ECTRIC, the proposed replacement vehicle for ECTRIC, or a new UK unregulated
entity (the latter would apply if a UK book was required). A UK entity, as
principal, would be "unregulated" if it was a purely passive booking company.
Provided that the ultimate principal is either ECT Investments, Inc., ECTRIC
or an unregulated UK principal, there should not be any UK regulatory capital
requirements.
The SFA would need to be informed in advance of our intention to have an
equity trading capability in London and EEFT's SFA business profile would
need to be extended to cover both arranging and dealing as agent in respect
of equities.
Transaction Reporting
As the business would be SFA regulated per the above, SFA Rule 5-49 would
require all transactions to be "Transaction Reported" - for pure cash equity
business (wherever the equities are listed) this would be accomplished by
computer-entry of trade details which would then download to one of the
London Stock Exchange's ("LSE's") systems known as either "SEQUAL" or
"CHECKING".
The purpose of such reporting is not only to enable the LSE and SFA to
establish daily market volumes, etc., but also, for example, to provide the
relevant information to the LSE's surveillance unit which actively monitors
all trades for signs of Insider Dealing.
Systems' impact
On the above structure, there should be no extra systems' requirements,
except:-
PC screens for the traders having feeds of market quotes / market
information (e.g., Reuters, Telerate, etc):
potentially a computer-link for settlement purposes
a computer-link for the Transaction Reporting of executed deals to the LSE
(see above)
a computer-link to produce exception reports of executed deals to enable a
Compliance Department to monitor for Disclosable Interests in Shares (see
below)
a computer-link to produce reports of executed deals for monitoring against
the Watch and Restricted Lists (see Insider Dealing below)
Accountants, e.g., Arthur Andersen, would be the best placed to advise on the
correct form of computer-links, especially those for Transaction Reporting
purposes.
Disclosure of Interests in shares
Re UK listed companies there are the following disclosures to be made of
equity interests:-
S. 198 Companies Act '85 - acquisition of 3 % interest or more, or disposal
to below a 3% interest, or acquisition of each whole % above a 3% interest of
a UK Public Co's voting capital requires to be disclosed to the company.
Group interests / concert party interests are aggregated to arrive at the
thresholds and "interest" includes a right or option to acquire shares.
Substantial Acquisition Rules - acquisition of over 15% interest in a UK
public company requires separate disclosure to the Company and, if listed, to
the LSE.
Rule 9 Takeover Code - acquisition of 30 % or more of UK public company's
voting shares leads to a requirement to make a cash offer for the remainder.
S. 212 Companies Act '85 - UK public companies can request at any time an
entity to disclose to the company particulars of their, and other persons',
interests in the company's share capital, including such details for the last
three years.
Rule 8.3 Takeover Code - during an "offer period" relating to a UK public
company (and the offer is a "securities exchange offer"), persons owning or
controlling directly or indirectly 1% or more of relevant securities of that
company (including cash-settled derivatives) must disclose such interests to
the Take-Over Panel.
Please note that there may be similar rules in other jurisdictions, depending
on where the relevant equities are listed - indeed in some jurisdictions
there may be prohibitions on foreign ownership of equities.
Insider Dealing
Looking just to the UK legislation (The Criminal Justice Act 1993), the
various criminal offences of Insider Dealing are committed, basically, when
an individual has Inside Information (meaning unpublished price-sensitive
information) concerning the securities of an entity or entities (whether UK
or non-UK) which are officially listed in any State within the European
Economic Area or admitted to dealing, or quoted, on a "Regulated Market"
(e.g., including the major European markets, NASDAQ, etc). Please note that
"price-sensitive" means likely to have a significant effect on the price of
any securities - not just those of the entity or entities in respect of which
one has the knowledge; and "securities" includes shares, debentures, options
to subscribe for shares / debentures, depository receipts, futures and CFDs.
Once in knowledgeable possession of insider information, the offences are
commited if one deals in price-affected securities in relation to that
information, or encourages another to so deal or discloses the information.
The offence is punishable by imprisonment and / or fines.
The offences are highly technical and there are certain defences
available.
The manner in which to try to prevent the internal commission of the offences
is to put in place, simply, "established and effective" Chinese Walls between
those individuals who would be involved in the Equity Trading facility and
others in within the Enron Group who may have such inside information, to
prevent the potential flows of Inside Information between those with such
information and the Equity Traders in London. Both I and Slaughter & May
feel that potentially replicating in London the Enron Chinese Wall policy
actively followed in Houston could suffice in this respect as it is generally
felt that the US requirements should be at least as stringent as those
required in the UK. Alan Aronowitz is in the process of sending me
Houston's policy in this regard for review and upon receipt that policy will
be reviewed accordingly.
However, the relevant Chinese Walls would need to be put in place for Insider
Dealing purposes between, in my and Slaughters' views, (a) on the one side,
the Equity Traders and (b) on the other side, originators and traders, and
persons involved in any corporate finance, M&A, Joint Venture, and financing
activity.
Not only would the Chinese Walls need to be implemented, but also they would
need to be actively monitored by a Compliance Department in London to ensure
that they were being observed and effective.
In addition to the Houston Chinese Wall policy, there should be implemented
both a "Watch List" and a "Restricted List" procedure (I understand the
latter already exists and would need to be combined with additions to such
list in London ) - the Watch List does not actively prevent trading in
relevant securities, but is an intermediate step before a stock is placed on
the Restricted List: i.e., companies in which Enron is involved in sensitive
transactions would be placed on such a list and an internal Compliance
Department should then actively monitor for any unusual deals by the Equity
Traders (e.g., by volume etc) in stocks of the Companies on such list. If
any irregular trading activity is then spotted - it could be internally
investigated. Obviously, an internal procedure would need to be established
to gather information on sensitive transactions so that they could be placed
on the Watch / Restricted Lists as appropriate.
Other Confidential Information
In addition to any specific Insider Information, various Enron Group entities
will be party to specific Confidentiality Agreements (or other forms of
Agreement, e.g., Master Agreements, containing confidentiality clauses) with
third parties, pursuant to which the Enron entities may have confidentiality
obligations to those third parties and which may prevent the contracting
Enron entities from disclosing certain information to affiliated Enron
entities.
Obviously, in order to comply with our various obligations in this regard we
would need either to check each contract or ensure that Enron personnel were
aware of their obligations in this regard and never disclosed to the London
Equity traders any information covered by the confidentiality obligations.
The Watch List could be used to log, for monitoring purposes, companies to
whom Enron owes confidentiality obligations.
Both with regard to Insider Information and this form of confidential
information, employees would need to be actively trained to ensure that only
generally available market sentiment on a third party could be passed on to
the London Equity traders and not more specific information.
Compliance Department
If this proposal moves ahead, my suggestion is that Enron in London would
need to hire an experienced Compliance professional for the following
purposes:-
active implementation of, review of, and consistent monitoring of, the
Chinese Wall policy;
active monitoring of executed deals against Watch and Restricted Lists;
active monitoring of executed deals for Disclosable Interests in Shares in
the UK and similar rules and prohibitions in other jurisdictions;
handling SFA and LSE queries on Transaction Reporting;
handling potential LSE and Takeover Panel queries on executed Transactions;
and
running continuous training courses for Enron personnel on Insider Dealing,
confidentiality obligations, etc.
In addition, such person could have responsibility for the implementation of,
monitoring of, and ensuring compliance with, SFA Conduct of Business Rules
and Moneylaundering compliance, and any relevant exchange rules, firm-wide in
London across all of Enron's business - e.g., its OTC Derivatives'
business.

Subject: London Equities Trading Desk - US legal advice
Further to my Questionnaire to Maureen Bartlett at Cadwalader on the
applicability of U.S. securities' laws in the context of a London Equities'
Desk, I received Maureen's responses in a lengthy telephone call yesterday
afternoon. I shall only comment where according to Maureen we shall have to
be mindful of an issue - where I do not comment, Maureen said the answer to
the Question was "no" (i.e., good news for us). Hence, Maureen's advice:-
Q 6 - Generally, ECTII would only bear responsibility to US regulatory
authorities for EEFT's acts and omissions if ECTII was a "knowing
co-conspirator" in an EEFT act or omission which violated US securities'
laws. EEFT would not have any responsibility for its acts and omissions to
any US regulatory authority. EEFT would not have any responsibility to US
regulatory authorities for any acts or omissions of ECTII except again only
to the extent that it may have colluded with ECTII. The only exceptions to
these positions are set out below.
Q 7 - U.S. disclosure requirements re interests in equities - where initially
EEFT acts as pure arranger without any discretion for ECTII (i.e., pure
execution-only facility in London), the U.S. disclosure requirements will be
down to ECTII to comply with (as the principal). This will still be the case
if EEFT moves to having agency authority (i.e., having discretion) to book
trades to ECTII - the only difference here is that there will need to be
extra careful monitoring to ensure that EEFT does not do a deal in a stock
out of London which, when aggregated with other Enron Group interests in that
stock, take us over a disclosable amount (e.g., under s 13d SEA '34, a 5 %
holding of a stock registered under s 12 SEA '34; and 10 % under s 16a SEA
'34). This will mean that we shall need extra careful use and monitoring of
Watch and Restricted Lists between London and Houston and may be London
having a policy preventing acquisition by the London desk of a large block of
stock (to be defined) in any U.S. entity without Houston's consent.
Q 8 + Q 9 - U.S. Insider Dealing laws apply to (a) stock of U.S. issuers and
(b) stock of non-U.S. issuers listed in the U.S.. EEFT would not be liable
under U.S. Insider Dealing laws unless it knew that it had price-sensitive
information (as defined under U.S. laws) and dealt in either (a) or (b) or
encouraged another to deal, etc. ECTII would not be liable vicariously to
the US authorities for EEFT in this respect - ECTII would have to have
committed the offence itself, e.g. by having the knowledge then dealing etc
or colluding with EEFT. Vice versa applies re ECTII - EEFT. Basically this
comes down, once again, to having adequate. and well monitored Chinese Walls,
procedures, education of staff re what they can and cannot do etc. As well
as other Chinese Walls, obviously ECTII staff would not be able to pass
price-sensitive information which is not publicly known to EEFT staff and
vice versa.
Q 10 + 11 - Re Reg S new issues. As ECTII would be the principal and is in
the US, not only is ECTII directly prevented from buying a Reg S offering
within the lock-out period but so would EEFT as ECTII's arranger / agent. If
EEFT purchased a Reg S offering within the lock-out period, ECTII would have
broken the rules. Obviously this would have to go into the compliance manual
governing EEFT's conduct and again London trading would need to be actively
monitored for compliance.
I still firmly believe that there is nothing in the above advice which makes
a London equities' facility for Houston legally and technically difficult -
it comes down to Chinese Walls, policies and procedures and active daily
monitoring by a compliance department of the activities of the London desk.
Maureen will shortly be sending me her written confirmation of the advice
which she gave me over the telephone.
Kind regards
Mark

Sorry I did not get back with you yesterday. We have been really busy around

The following Message was sent to members of Contract List Server, the EEI
Contract Standization Mailing List.
To Members of the Working Group:
A proposal was considered at the meeting in Houston on January 26 to add
language to Article 2.3 of the Master Agreement which would require an
agreement of both parties before any contract terms not part of the oral
Transaction (but added to the written Confirmation) could become binding.
Those in favor of adding such language hope to avoid the "long form
confirmations" which have proliferated in the marketplace in the absence of
an underlying master agreement - those containing arbitration clauses, Y2K
representations and other non-commercial terms. Those who oppose adding such
language believe it is critical to market participants to know at some point,
relatively promptly after the oral trade call, that the confirm represents
the commercial Transaction, and that trade tapes can be overwritten. They
ask only that counterparties accept or reject the commercial Transaction
terms within two Business Days. If there is a dispute about the terms of the
Transaction as it appears in the Confirmation, they want to be notified so
that tapes can be preserved and the issues can be addressed promptly.
After much discussion, the Drafting Committee has developed language that
could be added. Given the strong feelings on both sides of this issue,
however, the Drafting Committee decided to poll each company in the Working
Group as to whether such additional language should be added at all. If
the Working Group votes "yes", the additional language below would be
inserted in Article 2.3 as an option that only would apply if selected on the
cover sheet.
The following wording was developed by the Drafting Committee:
"If a Confirmation contains provisions, other than those provisions relating
to the commercial terms of the Transaction (e.g., price, special transmission
conditions), which modify or supplement the general terms and conditions of
this Master Agreement (e.g., arbitration provisions, additional
representations and warranties), then such provisions shall not be deemed to
be accepted pursuant to this Article 2.3 unless agreed to either orally or in
writing by the Parties; provided that the foregoing will not affect the
validity and binding nature of the Transaction."
Accordingly, would ONE representative from each company in the Working Group
please respond using the REPLY function of your email program to the
following questions by cob Tuesday, February 29:
1. Should the language addressing this point be inserted into the Master
Agreement? (If yes, the language will be an option selected on the Cover
Sheet.)
Yes_____ No_____

Gerald -- I left you a voice mail regarding the attached amendment to the ECS
Agreement. We would like to get this finalized as soon as possible.
Bascially, the changes just clean up certain terms --- necessary as a result
of the change of the engineering configuration. You may recall we discussed
some of the necessary changes with you and Mark in Rob Kilmer's office a few
weeks ago.
Also -- I have incorporated the June amendment into this document -- so we
won't have to keep track of more than one amendment.
Because we changed "Compressor Motor" to "Compressor Driver" we need to make
this change in the other two documents. I am uncertain if I have the last
version of these documents. Could you forward them to me by E-mail?
Thanks. Please call me or Teb if you have questions.

What...A tax book not helpful? Aren't you glad you didn't have to suffer
through that class? Everything went fine this morning. I just had to
rebuild the bench and the basis report but that's all!! Lavo seemed happy
with everything this morning. No screaming anyway. And no I didn't get
much sleep last night, but it wasn't really your fault. Even after I went to
bed I just kept waking up. It was one of those nights where you wake up and
look at the clock at least once every hour. I feel a little dazed but other
than that I'm okay.
And no I'm not glad to be back at work. Are you?

Bankruptcy
Back to Quicklinks
Issues: Whether debt was nondischargeable pursuant to o 523(a)(4); Whether
a state court magistrate's decision was a final judgment entitled to
preclusive effect; Whether the bankruptcy court's findings were sufficient
to support the conclusion that the debt was nondischargeable
Court: Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Sixth Circuit
Case Name: In re Thompson
e-Journal Number: 10248
Judge(s): Howard, Brown, and Morgenstern-Clarren
The bankruptcy court erred in giving preclusive effect to the state court
magistrate's decision in the dischargeability proceeding because there was
no final, appealable state court judgment entered in the record, which was
entitled to preclusive effect, and which could serve as a basis for the
bankruptcy court's decision as to the amount and nature of the debt. The
bankruptcy court's findings of fact were insufficient to support the
conclusion that the debt was nondischargeable pursuant to o 523(a)(4)
because the debtor's conversion amounted to "embezzlement". The bankruptcy
court's only independent finding from its trial of the matter did not
address all the elements necessary to establish nondischargeability for
embezzlement. Reversed and remanded.

Issues: Special use permit allowing property owner to operate a business in
a residential neighborhood; Alleged violations of federal procedural and
substantive due process rights resulting from issuance of special use permit
Court: U.S. Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit
Case Name: Brody v. City of Mason
e-Journal Number: 10245
Judge(s): Cohn, Boggs, and Moore
Since the plaintiffs were allowed to participate in the special use permit
decision process and the defendant-city sufficiently considered evidence and
facts pertaining to the surrounding land before approving the permit and
allowing the parking lot to be paved, the district court did not err in
finding that plaintiffs' procedural and substantive due process rights were
not violated. The city granted defendant-McCalla a special use permit
allowing her to operate a beauty salon in a residential neighborhood and to
pave the rear yard for parking. Plaintiffs were neighboring property owners
claiming to have suffered damage caused by water runoff from the parking
lot. The court concluded that plaintiffs' argument that they were denied
procedural due process via a meaningful hearing was unpersuasive and that
they failed to demonstrate that any actions by the city planning commission,
the zoning board of appeals, or the zoning administrator was the result of
favoritism or special treatment. Affirmed.

exceptions to the general rule; Premises liability
Court: Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
Case Name: Nagy v. Consumers Power Co.
e-Journal Number: 10222
Judge(s): Per Curiam - Whitbeck, McDonald, and Collins
The trial court erred in finding that a question of fact existed whether an
exception applied to the general rule that neither a general contractor nor
a landowner is liable in negligence for injuries to an independent
subcontractor's employees. Two construction workers were killed and one
injured in a construction site accident where plaintiffs inexplicably
decided to push their scaffold directly toward overhead power lines. The
court examined the three exceptions to the general rule, determined that
none of the three exceptions applied, concluded that the trial court
incorrectly found that a question of fact concerning the issue of liability
was sufficiently raised by the pleadings, and held that neither
defendant-Venchurs nor defendant-Gocon were liable in negligence for
plaintiffs' injuries. Reversed in part, affirmed in part, and remanded for
entry of an order granting defendants summary disposition.

Issues: Garbage collection and disposal service provided to residential

Due process; Rational basis test
Court: Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
Case Name: American Presidential Estates, Inc. v. Van Buren Twp.
e-Journal Number: 10223
Judge(s): Per Curiam ) McDonald, Neff, and Fitzgerald
While the trial court properly concluded that an agreement between
defendant-township and defendant-waste management company entitled mobile
homes in plaintiff,s parks to free garbage collection, plaintiff-mobile
home park owner and operator had no right to enforce the contract. The
trial court erred in concluding that plaintiff was a third-party beneficiary
of the agreement and awarding it damages on a breach of contract theory. The
agreement contained an express promise to act for the benefit of the
particular class of persons who owned and occupied private residences within
the township. Plaintiff was not an individual resident or owner of private
property within the township, and the fact that it would indirectly and
incidentally derive benefits from its residents receiving free garbage
collection services was insufficient to provide it third-party beneficiary
status. Reversed.

Fraud or misrepresentation; Fraud in the inducement
Court: Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
Case Name: Eby v. A & M Custom Built Homes, Inc.
e-Journal Number: 10230
Judge(s): Per Curiam - Bandstra, Griffin, and Collins
Although the trial court erred by failing to consider plaintiffs-employees,
parol evidence of pre-employment discussions in support of their position
that the employment relationship was not simply an at-will arrangement, the
court affirmed summary disposition in favor of defendants-employers with
respect to plaintiffs, breach of contract claim. The court held that the
error was harmless because, even if plaintiffs, proffered parol evidence was
considered, it failed to establish whether plaintiffs, employment
relationship with defendants properly could be considered other than
at-will. The letter agreement failed to contain any language that would
cause a reasonable person to believe that the employment relationship was
terminable only for just cause. Plaintiffs did not allege any specific oral
assertions made by defendants that would constitute the required "clear and
unequivocal" language to overcome the presumption of employment at-will.
Affirmed.

his trial; Whether defendant was denied a fair trial because of negative and
hostile remarks made by trial court during jury voir dire; Denial of motion
for a continuance to secure an independent examination on the issue of
criminal responsibility; Ineffective assistance of counsel; Due process
Court: Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
Case Name: People v. Washington
e-Journal Number: 10221
Judge(s): Per Curiam ) Bandstra, Wilder, and Collins
The presiding judge did not abuse her discretion in ordering a competency
hearing when defendant appeared before her on the date set for his trial.
The presiding judge took testimony from the examining psychologist, and
defense counsel was allowed the opportunity to cross-examine the witness.
The psychologist, who had interviewed defendant, opined that defendant was
able to articulate what was occurring in the court proceedings and assist
his attorney with his defense. Since defense counsel did not move in writing
for another competency hearing and there was no evidence presented that the
earlier determination that defendant was competent to stand trial was no
longer valid, the question of defendant's competence was within the
discretion of the presiding judge. Affirmed.

Issues: Unanimous verdict; Failure to instruct jury on name of the
complainant and date of offense; Ineffective assistance of counsel
Court: Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
Case Name: People v. Wicker
e-Journal Number: 10242
Judge(s): Memorandum ) Holbrook, Jr., Hood, and Griffin
Defendant,s claim that the trial court erred in failing to instruct the
jury regarding the name of the complainant and the date of the offense,
thereby depriving him of the right to a unanimous verdict, was without
merit. The general unanimity instruction was sufficient where there was no
juror confusion. The trial testimony by witness-Mason established that he
was not an intended victim, and the prosecutor emphasized throughout his
closing argument that the victim was another man. Defendant did not take
issue at trial with the date of the offense, and in fact presented an alibi
for the date alleged by the prosecution. Defendant,s convictions were
affirmed.

Defendant,s failure to comply with the Equal Access to Justice Act
Court: U.S. Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit
Case Name: United States v. True
e-Journal Number: 10247
Judge(s): Suhrheinrich, Guy, and Boggs
Reviewing the district court,s denial of defendant-True,s Hyde Amendment
application under an abuse of discretion standard, the court affirmed
because True failed to meet his burden of establishing that the government,
s prosecution of him on price-fixing conspiracy charges was vexatious or in
bad faith. Despite conflicting testimony at trial, there were sufficient
facts to give the government probable cause to prosecute True and therefore,
it could not be said that the government vexatiously prosecuted him. True
also failed to show that the government consciously pursued the action out
of ill will towards him so that it could be said that the government acted
in bad faith. While the court had some concerns about the government,s delay
in indicting True, there was evidence to support the government,s position
that the conspiracy extended into late 1992 and even into 1993.

Issues: Termination of parental rights; Whether failure to secure
respondent-mother,s presence at the termination hearing deprived her of due
process of law
Court: Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
Case Name: In re K.R.J.
e-Journal Number: 10236
Judge(s): Per Curiam - Griffin, Neff, and White
The family court erred by terminating respondent-mother,s parental rights
based on the failure of either parent to appear at the termination hearing
because the failure to secure the respondent,s presence at the termination
hearing deprived her of due process of law. Respondent,s parental liberty
interest in her child at the final stage of the termination proceedings was
a compelling one. The government,s interest in avoiding the burden that the
additional or substitute procedures would carry likewise clearly weighed in
respondent,s favor. Respondent was incarcerated locally, therefore the
burden on the state to secure her presence would have been minimal. The
incremental risk of an erroneous deprivation of respondent,s parental rights
in the absence of the procedure demanded, tipped the scale in her favor.
Reversed and remanded.

e-Journal Number: 10225
Judge(s): Per Curiam - Doctoroff, Cavanagh, and Meter
The trial court abused its discretion by denying defendant's motion for a
protective order in total and by ordering compliance with all of
plaintiff's discovery requests. A statutory private investigator-client
privilege exists and was examined by the court in Ravary, a published
opinion, where the court held that any communication by a client to a
licensee and any information secured in connection with an assignment for a
client is privileged. The trial court was bound to follow both the statute
and Ravary. The applicable court rule provides that parties may obtain
discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the
subject matter involved in the pending action. Accordingly, the trial court
should have determined which discovery requests were covered by the private
detective-client privilege and exempted those from discovery. Reversed and
remanded.

Court: Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
Case Name: American Presidential Estates, Inc. v. Van Buren Twp.
e-Journal Number: 10223
Judge(s): Per Curiam ) McDonald, Neff, and Fitzgerald
While the trial court properly concluded that an agreement between
defendant-township and defendant-waste management company entitled mobile
homes in plaintiff,s parks to free garbage collection, plaintiff-mobile
home park owner and operator had no right to enforce the contract. The
trial court erred in concluding that plaintiff was a third-party beneficiary
of the agreement and awarding it damages on a breach of contract theory. The
agreement contained an express promise to act for the benefit of the
particular class of persons who owned and occupied private residences within
the township. Plaintiff was not an individual resident or owner of private
property within the township, and the fact that it would indirectly and
incidentally derive benefits from its residents receiving free garbage
collection services was insufficient to provide it third-party beneficiary
status. Reversed.

Issues: Special use permit allowing property owner to operate a business in

Court: U.S. Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit
Case Name: Brody v. City of Mason
e-Journal Number: 10245
Judge(s): Cohn, Boggs, and Moore
Since the plaintiffs were allowed to participate in the special use permit
decision process and the defendant-city sufficiently considered evidence and
facts pertaining to the surrounding land before approving the permit and
allowing the parking lot to be paved, the district court did not err in
finding that plaintiffs' procedural and substantive due process rights were
not violated. The city granted defendant-McCalla a special use permit
allowing her to operate a beauty salon in a residential neighborhood and to
pave the rear yard for parking. Plaintiffs were neighboring property owners
claiming to have suffered damage caused by water runoff from the parking
lot. The court concluded that plaintiffs' argument that they were denied
procedural due process via a meaningful hearing was unpersuasive and that
they failed to demonstrate that any actions by the city planning commission,
the zoning board of appeals, or the zoning administrator was the result of
favoritism or special treatment. Affirmed.

Court: Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
Case Name: Lewkowicz v. Poe
e-Journal Number: 10228
Judge(s): Per Curiam - Zahra, Smolenski, and Gage
Since the defendant-police chief's "executive authority" included his duties
as a high ranking executive, as well as his duties as a police officer, and
he was directed by the mayor to attend the city council meeting in his
official capacity, the trial court correctly determined that the police
chief was entitled to absolute immunity from tort liability. Plaintiff
alleged that since the chief was acting as an ordinary police officer and
not in his executive capacity as chief of police, when he arrested plaintiff
for disrupting a cable TV control room during a city council meeting, the
chief was not entitled to absolute immunity under the relevant statute. The
chief acted within the authority granted him by law as a police officer when
he arrested and detained plaintiff, and was entitled to absolute immunity
under the statute by virtue of his status as the highest law enforcement
official for the city. Summary disposition in favor of defendants was
affirmed.

Case Name: Citizens Ins. Co. v. Detroit Edison
e-Journal Number: 10226
Judge(s): Per Curiam ) Bandstra, Wilder, and Collins
Plaintiffs-homeowners and their insurer failed to establish a prima facie
case of negligence against defendant-power company in connection with a
fire that occurred at the homeowners, home after defendant,s power lines
fell. Plaintiffs did not produce evidence from which a jury could infer that
defendant breached its duty of reasonable care with regard to the lines that
plaintiffs alleged caused the fire. Plaintiffs failed to offer evidence to
establish what constitutes reasonable maintenance of electrical lines, and
presented no evidence regarding when defendant last inspected or serviced
the lines in question. While two experts opined that the electrical line
must have fallen due to a lack of preventive maintenance, there was no
evidence of defendant,s conduct in that regard, and trial testimony provided
alternative theories on the causation issue. Directed verdict for Detroit
Edison was appropriate. Affirmed.

Court: Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
Case Name: Nagy v. Consumers Power Co.
e-Journal Number: 10222
Judge(s): Per Curiam - Whitbeck, McDonald, and Collins
The trial court erred in finding that a question of fact existed whether an
exception applied to the general rule that neither a general contractor nor
a landowner is liable in negligence for injuries to an independent
subcontractor's employees. Two construction workers were killed and one
injured in a construction site accident where plaintiffs inexplicably
decided to push their scaffold directly toward overhead power lines. The
court examined the three exceptions to the general rule, determined that
none of the three exceptions applied, concluded that the trial court
incorrectly found that a question of fact concerning the issue of liability
was sufficiently raised by the pleadings, and held that neither
defendant-Venchurs nor defendant-Gocon were liable in negligence for
plaintiffs' injuries. Reversed in part, affirmed in part, and remanded for
entry of an order granting defendants summary disposition.

Case Name: Varljen v. Cleveland Gear Co., Inc.
e-Journal Number: 10246
Judge(s): Siler, Nelson, and Clay
The district court erred in granting defendants, motion to dismiss based on
plaintiffs-relators failure to allege that the United States had suffered an
injury in its dealings with defendant-Cleveland Gear because the trial
court relied upon the fact that the government had inspected and accepted
the items in question. Plaintiffs, complaint should have survived the motion
because it clearly alleged an FCA "injury", it was not essential for an FCA
plaintiff to allege damages, the government inspection was irrelevant, and
the relative quality of conforming and nonconforming products in an FCA
case. Plaintiffs had a contract with the United States Department of Defense
and subcontracted with Cleveland Gear. Plaintiffs alleged that
defendant-Cleveland Gear made changes that violated the contract
specifications and attempted to produce gears more cheaply that would
nonetheless pass government inspection. Defendant-Cleveland Gear's
certification that it had complied with the "Quality Assurance
Requirements," including inspection, was false. Reversed and remanded.?????

The New Power Company Challenges Green Mountain Energy
10/30/2000
PR Newswire
(Copyright (c) 2000, PR Newswire)
GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The New Power Company (NYSE: NPW)
characterized as "completely false" the October 23 contention of Green
Mountain Energy Company that PECO did not negotiate in good faith with
regards to its award of its "Competitive Default Customers" to The New Power
Company. The New Power Company filed its response to Green Mountain's October
23 protest of the contract award to New Power on Monday October 30.
New Power's filing described the PECO bidding process and how New Power
submitted its winning bid within the bidding period established by PECO in
its RFP. By contrast, Green Mountain only submitted its current bid 12 days
after the bidding deadline and nine days after it was informed that its
higher priced bid had not been selected and PECO and The New Power Company
had begun negotiating the CDS Agreement.
In its protest to Green Mountain's October 23 filing, PECO confirmed that
Green Mountain submitted its untimely "revised" bid nine days after PECO had
selected the New Power bid. PECO explained that Green Mountain only underbid
New Power after it learned it had lost the award.
H. Eugene Lockhart, president and chief executive officer of The New Power
Company said, "We were awarded this contract fairly, following all proper and
specified procedures. We were selected because we submitted the best price
and because we agreed to satisfy the renewable power source requirement
required in PECO's RFP. Green Mountain's position is completely misleading.
Green Mountain is trying to change the rules of the game after the game is
already over."
The New Power Company is fully confident that the Pennsylvania Public Utility
Commission will resolve this matter in its favor.
The New Power Company was formed in May 2000 to provide electricity and
natural gas directly to households and small businesses in the deregulated
energy marketplace. The company draws on the expertise, experience and market
strength of such industry leaders as IBM, AOL and Enron to bring savings and
efficiencies to energy consumers.

GREENWICH, Conn. -(Dow Jones)- New Power Co. (NPW) called "completely false"
a claim by Green Mountain Energy Co. that Peco Energy Co. unfairly excluded
Green Mountain and an unnamed third bidder from the second round of bidding
for a 300,000 of Peco's residential retail electric customers.
In a press release Monday, New Power said it filed the response to Green
Mountain's Oct. 23 protest of the contract awarded to New Power on Oct. 30.
New Power said Green Mountain submitted its bid 12 days after the deadline
and nine days after it was informed that its previous bid hadn't been
selected.
New Power said it is "confident" the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission
will resolve the matter in its favor.
Last Wednesday, the commission agreed to review the dispute over the contract
award.
New Power is an online retailing venture formed in May by Enron Corp. (ENE),
America Online Inc. (AOL) and International Business Machines Corp. (IBM).

Speculation Swirls On Gore, Bush Energy Cabinet Posts
10/30/2000
Dow Jones International News
(Copyright (c) 2000, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
WASHINGTON (AP)--While the rest of the country waits to see who will be the
next U.S. president, speculation in Washington has already turned to likely
Cabinet members responsible for energy and environmental issues.
For the most part, Vice President Al Gore and Gov. George W. Bush are keeping
their own counsel on likely Cabinet members in prospective Democratic and
Republican administrations. But from sources in and out of government some
possible choices have emerged.
For Gore, one name mentioned for secretary of energy is Sen. Richard Bryan,
D-Nev., with longer odds seen for two others: Tom Grumbly, who formerly
headed a nuclear weapons cleanup effort at the Energy Department, and Deputy
Energy Secretary T.J. Glauthier.
For Bush, possible picks include Tom Kuhn, a buddy from Yale and head of the
Edison Electric Institute, and Kenneth Lay, 1996 Republican convention
chairman and chairman of the giant gas and energy concern Enron Corp. (ENE)
Another possible Republican pick for Energy would be Montana Gov. Marc
Racicot, a leading spokesman on land issues in the West.
Racicot may be a more likely pick for top job at the Interior Department. But
if Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash., loses his race for re-election, Bush might tap
him for Interior.
On the Gore side, speculation about Interior is all over the lot. There's
Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber; former Colorado Gov. Roy Roemer, who now runs the
Los Angeles school system; Sen. Bryan; George Frampton, acting head of the
White House Council on Environmental Quality and former Wilderness Society
director, and former Colorado Sen. Tim Wirth.
Bush's director for the Environmental Protection Agency might be David
Struhs, a moderate in the minds of environmentalists who directs the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection. Two more-conservative prospects are
Chris DeMuth, a regulatory expert at the American Enterprise Institute, and
Russell Harding, head of Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality.
For Gore, a front-runner appears to be Kathleen McGinty, former head of the
Council on Environmental Quality under Clinton. Another possibility is
Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening, stepping aside to elevate Lt. Gov. Kathleen
Kennedy Townsend.

Guessing the new Cabinet while Gore, Bush campaign
By DEB RIECHMANN
Associated Press Writer
10/30/2000
Associated Press Newswires
Copyright 2000. The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
WASHINGTON (AP) - While the rest of the country waits to see who will be the
next president, in this city - where politics is both vocation and avocation
- a lot of the speculation is about who will be in the next Cabinet.
The top economic post? For treasury secretary, George W. Bush could pick
former Federal Reserve member Lawrence Lindsey, who has been traveling on
some of Bush's campaign trips. Or someone from Wall Street. Al Gore might
well keep the incumbent secretary, Lawrence Summers, in hopes of keeping the
economy thriving.
If Bush wins, Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson or the school superintendent from
Houston back home in Texas could wind up in his Cabinet - along with a
handful of people who served in his father's administration.
If Gore wins, newcomers could include the mayor of Detroit or the governor of
Maryland, or North Carolina, or Delaware - but with many positions going to
familiar faces from the Clinton administration.
And whichever man wins, the job running the Department of Agriculture could
go to the same person - veteran Texas Rep. Charles Stenholm, who is in danger
of losing his seat to redistricting.
Richard Holbrooke, with a foreign policy resume stretching back to Vietnam
and Lyndon Johnson, is the frequently heard choice for secretary of state in
a Gore administration. And everyone - even Bush, it seems - expects Colin
Powell to get that job in a Bush administration.
On the campaign trail, Bush introduces the former chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff as "a man who used to be in government, and if all goes well,
well. ..."
Holbrooke, who is ambassador to the United Nations, isn't a sure thing for a
Gore Cabinet. Speculation also includes former Senate Majority Leader George
Mitchell and former Indiana Rep. Lee Hamilton, who was chairman of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
For the most part, the presidential candidates are keeping their own counsel
on their likely Cabinet members. They may be the only people who are. From
sources in and out of government, these are some possible choices:
FOREIGN POLICY:
In addition to Holbrooke, Mitchell or Hamilton at State, conventional wisdom
has Gore's foreign policy adviser, Leon Fuerth, as a shoo-in for national
security adviser.
Joining Powell at the top of foreign policy under Bush would be Stanford
University scholar Condoleezza Rice as national security adviser. She served
in President Bush's White House.
DEFENSE:
Frequently mentioned for the Pentagon in a Bush administration: Paul
Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and Richard Armitage. Of the three, Armitage has
been the most active in the Bush campaign, traveling with the candidate on
trips when the candidate touches on defense policy.
Wolfowitz, dean of international studies at Johns Hopkins University, was
undersecretary of defense for policy when Dick Cheney, Bush's running mate,
was defense secretary. Perle, defense braintruster at the American Enterprise
Institute, was assistant defense secretary during the Reagan administration.
Armitage was ambassador to the newly independent Soviet states and he served
at State and Defense under President Bush.
A possible Gore Pentagon chief, former Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., was chairman of
the Senate Armed Services Committee. Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig,
who served in Jimmy Carter's Pentagon, is another possibility.
TREASURY:
Should Gore win, Summers could stay on. Other names being floated: William
Daley, secretary of commerce in the Clinton administration and head of Gore's
campaign, former Fannie Mae chairman Jim Johnson and Steve Rattner, a
Democratic contributor who is a partner in a private equity firm, Quadrangle
Group.
Bush's most prominent economic adviser has been Lindsey, who was appointed to
the Federal Reserve Board by Bush's father. Lindsey has been on many recent
Bush campaign trips.
A name heard on Wall Street is Donald Marron, who runs the PaineWebber
brokerage house. John Cogan, a Stanford University economist and policy
adviser to Presidents Reagan and Bush, also is said to be in the running.
Cogan also has accompanied the Texas governor on campaign swings.
JUSTICE:
If Gore wins, some former Justice Department officials think the next
attorney general could be Charles Burson, former Texas attorney general and
the vice president's current chief of staff.
Other contenders are Eric Holder, the current deputy attorney general, and
Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer, a former Supreme Court justice in Michigan.
Still other names are Gore's brother-in-law Frank Hunger, formerly an
assistant attorney general; former deputy attorney general Jamie Gorelick,
now vice chairman at Fannie Mae, and Walter Dellinger, former solicitor
general.
Often mentioned for Bush is Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, who was No. 3 at
Justice during Bush's father's administration; Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., who
helped Bush prepare for his debates, and Sen. John Ashcroft, R-Mo., should he
lose his re-election bid.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES:
Current Secretary Donna Shalala appears headed for a university post but is
the choice of some women's advocates for White House chief of staff under
Gore.
If Gore wins, Surgeon General David Satcher could be given HHS. He's a former
director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
Other names: Leon Panetta, former White House chief of staff and President
Clinton's former budget director; Alice Rivlin, also a former Clinton budget
director and Federal Reserve Board member; David Kessler, former
administrator of the Food and Drug Administration, and Nancy-Ann Min DeParle,
former administrator of the Health Care Financing Administration, which
oversees Medicare and Medicaid.
One other name is former Rep. Tom Downey, D-N.Y., a Gore campaign aide.
If Bush wins, American Red Cross president Bernadine Healy is a possible
choice. President Bush appointed her to head the National Institutes of
Health.
Two others: Gail Wilensky, who helped craft Bush's Medicare prescription drug
plan and directed health care financing in his father's administration, and
Bill Roper, dean of the School of Public Health at the University of North
Carolina and a former director of the CDC.
EDUCATION:
A Bush possibility is Rod Paige, superintendent of the Houston Independent
School District who has appeared with Bush to talk about education in Texas.
Another is Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, chairman of the National Education
Goals Panel. (His experience with welfare reform could make him a pick for
secretary of health and human services as well.)
Other Bush possibilities: Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, Colorado Gov. Bill
Owens and Lisa Graham Keegan, Arizona's superintendent of public instruction,
a staunch supporter of charter schools and vouchers. Also, a possible
Democrat in Bush's cabinet: former Dallas Democratic Party chairman Sandy
Kress, who has been an informal adviser.
Figuring in the Gore speculation are North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt, who is
seen as a conciliator respected in both parties, Delaware Gov. Tom Carper and
White House domestic policy adviser Bruce Reed.
AGRICULTURE:
Rep. Stenholm, a conservative Democrat who could lose his seat when Texas is
redistricted, is being mentioned in both political camps.
Other Bush possibilities include Ann Veneman, former agricultural
commissioner in California and a senior Agriculture Department official in
the Bush administration; Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., and Charles Kruse, a
Missouri farmer and former state agriculture commissioner.
Other names on the Gore side: Rep. Cal Dooley, D-Calif.; Rep. Gary Condit,
D-Calif., and two Agriculture Department undersecretaries, August Schumacher
Jr. and Jill Long Thompson.
COMMERCE:
Insiders were at a loss to name prospective GOP candidates, saying more
visible Cabinet posts would have to be decided first.
If Gore is elected, Norman Mineta, the first Asian-American member of the
Cabinet, might be asked to stay on. Or Labor Secretary Alexis Herman might
move over. The names of top fund-raisers Peter Knight and Terry McAuliffe
also are being mentioned.
EPA:
Bush's EPA director might be David Struhs, a moderate in the minds of
environmentalists who directs the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection. Two other, more conservative, prospects: Chris DeMuth, a
regulatory expert at the American Enterprise Institute, and Russell Harding,
head of Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality.
For Gore, a front-runner appears to be Kathleen McGinty, former head of the
Council on Environmental Quality in the Clinton White House. Another
possibility is Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening, stepping aside to elevate Lt.
Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.
INTERIOR:
On the Gore side, speculation is all over the lot. There's Oregon Gov. John
Kitzhaber; former Colorado Gov. Roy Roemer, who now runs the Los Angeles
school system; Sen. Richard Bryan of Nevada; George Frampton, acting head of
the White House Council on Environmental Quality and former director of the
Wilderness Society, and former Colorado Sen. Tim Wirth.
For Bush, bets are on Montana Gov. Marc Racicot, who has been a leading
spokesman on land issues in the West. If Sen. Slade Gorton loses his race for
re-election in Washington, however, Bush might tap him.
ENERGY:
If Gorton gets Interior, Racicot might end up at Energy. Other possible Bush
picks include Tom Kuhn, a buddy from Yale and head of the Edison Electric
Institute, and 1996 GOP convention chairman Kenneth Lay, chairman of the
giant gas and energy company, Enron.
For Gore, one name mentioned is Bryan, the Democratic senator from Nevada.
There are longer odds for two others, Tom Grumbly, who formerly headed a
nuclear weapons cleanup effort at Energy, and Deputy Energy Secretary T.J.
Glauthier.

XL Capital Creates Weather-Risk Reinsurer
10/30/2000
Best's Insurance News
Copyright 2000 (c) A.M. Best Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
HAMILTON, Bermuda (BestWire) - XL Capital Ltd. formed a new reinsurance unit
to provide weather-risk-management insurance, reinsurance and financial
products.
The new unit, Element Re, will offer noncatastrophic weather risk-mitigation
products designed to protect against the negative impact that normal weather
fluctuations can have on the financial performance of companies in a variety
of industries, XL Capital said in a statement.
Element Re will be led by Chief Executive Jeffrey Bortniker and Lynda
Clemmons, president and chief operating officer. "Until now, businesses have
had a limited choice in terms of how they managed their weather-related
risk," Bortniker said. "To date, derivatives have been the primary mechanism.
We have identified a growing demand for weather protection in insurance
form--something that is more appealing to corporations around the world."
Clemmons added that the primary market for weather-related-risk-management
products is expanding beyond the traditional customers, such as energy and
utility companies, to include agriculture, construction, retail,
transportation and entertainment.
Element Re is one example of the movement by traditional property/casualty
reinsurers into new markets, in response to declining demand for traditional
reinsurance and new competitors (BestWire, Oct. 23, 2000).
A recent report from insurance consultant Conning & Co., "Property-Casualty
Reinsurance: Developing the Next Frontier," said demand for traditional
property/casualty reinsurance will continue to decline for the next five
years as primary insurers consolidate, grow bigger and improve their ability
to manage their own exposures.
The Conning study found that traditional reinsurers have been hurt by lack of
demand, which sparked price competition to retain market share. As a result,
many reinsurers are exploring alternative markets to expand their businesses.
Element Re's risk management team previously formed the core of the weather
derivatives group at Enron North America, an energy company.
Element Re Advisors Inc., Element Re Capital Products Inc. and Element
Reinsurance Ltd. are subsidiaries of XL Capital Ltd., a provider of insurance
and reinsurance coverage and financial products to industrial, commercial and
professional services firms, insurance companies and other enterprises
worldwide.
The financial strength of XL Capital Ltd. is rated A+ (Superior) by A.M. Best
Co.

Thinking ASP?
Don't Forget Security!
Before you sign a contract with an ASP, don't forget to scrutinize its
commitment to keeping your organization's data secure. By Deborah Radcliff

If the rapid convergence of business and the Internet isn't enough of a
security threat, there's now a new bugaboo keeping information technology
managers up at night: application service providers (ASP).
"You've now got a third party responsible for the integrity, confidentiality
and availability of your data," says Pete van de Gohm, director of
information asset protection at Enron Energy Services Inc. in Houston.
Once an organization has handed its applications over to a third party, its
biggest concerns include who's handling and accessing that data and what
guards the connections from the outside, says Amit Yoran, CEO of RipTech
Inc., a security services firm in Alexandria, Va. "ASP users are worried
about the connectivity from the customer to the ASP and how that's protected
from the Internet," he says.
While ASPs say they won't offer any guarantees, many put standard security
offerings in their contracts, such as firewalling and traffic monitoring. But
those who want to earn the business of the Fortune 1,000 companies are also
agreeing to contracts with specified custom security requests for additional
fees, such as scanning the content of incoming mail, setting up and
maintaining virtual private networks or managing firewall and intrusion
detection services.
"Some ASPs are looking at the big picture," says Mitchell Hryckowian, senior
director of security and infrastructure at Interliant Inc., an ASP in
Purchase, N.Y. Interliant, for example, appends its contracts with a security
clause to provide basic traffic monitoring services. In addition, high-end
customers can demand -- and receive -- customized security services be added
to their contracts.
The Threat
Tony Parziale, chief technology officer at online fashion retailer Folded
Edge Inc. in Duluth, Ga., negotiated for customer-centric security clauses
with his ASP, now-defunct Pandesic LLC in Sunnyvale, Calif. [Page One, Aug.
7]
"Security clauses in the initial Pandesic contract were very vague," Parziale
says. So he worked out service-level agreements for customer credit-card
security on transactions and data security for Folded Edge's SAP modules in
addition to setting minimum access and connectivity requirements.
Because his ASP partnered with several back-end service providers, getting
these assurances was complex. For example, Intel Online Services in Santa
Clara, Calif., set up Folded Edge's frame-relay connection and served as
Pandesic's back-end host. It was up to Parziale to track down Intel's
security controls before he could request contract specifications.
Folded Edge didn't encounter any security problems during its two and a half
months with Pandesic, something Parziale attributes to beefed-up security
clauses in the contract between Pandesic and Folded Edge. But that contract
didn't protect the company when Pandesic went out of business, leaving Folded
Edge without an ASP since September.
As Folded Edge searches for another round of funding to get back online,
Parziale is looking for an ASP that handles its own hosting, security and
Internet connectivity so he doesn't have such a tough time tracking down
security policies from multiple vendors.
Additional Measures
Having sat through hundreds of contract negotiations himself, Hryckowian
advises potential ASP customers to read the entire contract carefully. In
addition, he suggests that you:
1. Prequalify the security backgrounds of those who deploy security at your
ASP.
2. Inquire about service-level agreements that suit your business needs.
3. Make sure the contract also includes maintenance windows for regular code
upgrades and patches.
4. Balance acceptable risk against security requests.
5. Know the security products and tools the ASP will deploy.
6. Define what action the ASP will take in case of a breach.
Even with the most comprehensive coverage, ASPs make no guarantees.

Gentlemen--here is the revised draft of the all-employee memo that we could
send from the Office of the Chairman. Since Diomedes and David aren't
pushing this, I'd rather just keep it in reserve right now rather than keep
it moving. (I am not sending this latest version to them.) Mark, for your
info I am including the version that Diomedes and I have tentatively agreed
on that he would send to his region as well.
I am getting mixed signals on NoCal. Michael Miller says he is still working
on their IM, yet today Frank Stabler said that he doesn't want the news clips
any more due to their "change in status". What does this mean?

Subject: Stanford MBA- Interview
Dear Vincent,
As I told you on the phone on Friday, I am very interested in a summer
internship at Enron. I would like to point out that I want to pursue a
career in trading, and I am especially interested in derivatives. Given that
Enron is a pioneer in the market making of energy, broadband and weather
derivatives, I find it a company I would be most interested in working for.
I believe that you will find my background of interest to your firm, and I
hope to be interviewed by yourself and other colleagues of yours. I have
final exams from March 19-22, but would be most willing to travel to Houston
for interviews any time from Friday March 23rd onwards. I hope to hear from
you soon.
Best regards,

Sorry to bother you with this one again -
in 1999 and 2000, what were the revenues and costs associated with the base gas sales - the footnote disclosure indicates $53 million and $34 million in sales but not the cost. In addition, going forward, how much of the 2001 and 2002 TG&S expense is solely related to this transaction (i.e. expenses that would not be incurred but for this transaction)? My question may be a bit confusing - call me if I am totally off base!

WE'll likely move Joe Weber to FB. He's ~225 lbs and pretty fast for a FB so
he'll do. Whitaker will still be TB but we've got a redshirt frosh named
Keith Joseph who has the dimensions of Eddie George and played really well on
the scout team. I'll bet he sees a lot of PT at TB if he's really that
good. He was one of the very few guys that RC got over MacIII in the last
few years of recruiting.

a few more things have firmed up since yesterday:
1) Gene Lockhart was adamant at staff meeting today that the S-1 will be
filed May 15. There will be no slippage. Consequently, the timetable we
discussed will hold. Also seems that Lay and Skilling both want Enron to be
featured in the rollout presentation.
2) Lockhart wants testimonials from people in TX, PA, and a state of my
choosing. I choose CA and Jesse Knight. After conferring with Steve
Montovano, we've agreed it should be Chick Tulli. I am going tomorrow to
Dallas to solicit Steve Wolens, the TX House bill sponsor who chastised me so
roundly for Enron's "pullout" from CA. I also hope to get a meeting with Pat
Wood (TX PUC chair) next Monday.
3) I plan to make visits to TX, CA, PA, NJ, NY, OH, and CT before the May 1
rollout. Ideally, I will have Enron people with me.
4) Mark Manly feels strongly, as do I, that Susan and Thom should be at these
meetings.
Hope to see you next week.

Answers to your quetions:
Yes; no; maybe
Just kidding....
Interconnects for Calp and Dayton handled the same...just add those meters to
the sell tkts to CES and the buys are the delivery points. Don't path the
actual contract in Unify...When we hold that capacity and EDI, we'll path in
Unify.... We don't get the bills from TCO in January for that contract. Get
em in February (when we hold the capacity). They are set up in Unify but we
won't actually use....We are providing that service for those guys.
Try your best for trueing up the transport tkts and the CALP and Dayton tkts
in Sitara. Impact is on P and L for the desk daily and later on for the
(O/A) operational analysis where the accountants compare what we estimated
our costs and revenues for the desk were and what they actually came in
at.......We know January will be messy...
Go ahead and true up the PAL agreement to match physical flow......
BUY/SELLS with ENA and CES. We talked at the beginning of the month about
this. Sales/buys to/from ENA on the CES reports and sales/buys to/from CES
on the ENA facilitation by location reports should just be pahted as
buy/sells. (hopefully should be done already......)
I have a meeting from 3-4 today...other than that I'll be downstairs with
y'all to answer any questions....
THANKS!!!!

Subject: Re: Dayton Stuff & Calp & other fun stuff
You were a busy little bee last night!!!! Thanks for the help.
FSS 63304 - we are not using. I'll ask John Hodge what this storage had been
used for in the past.
Clarification needed for the Dayton and Calp sell at the pool. How is the
interconnect gas supply done... we had some on Calp with Virginia Power and
Coral. In the past we have some on Dayton... don't think we have any in
January yet. Does this through another monkey wrench into the works?
We will probably have to run some report out of navigator to true-up
transport tickets. There are a ton of cuts lately and Joann receives daily
request from CES retail for volume changes. Not sure the best, efficient way
to maintain these tickets daily.
PAL for CES was physically flowed on January 1. Should we change the tickets
to match physical flow???
I'm bummed about the storage ticket change again... but will redo the paths.
This will be a couple hours of rework for me... not sure about Joann.
You have lost me on the ENA to CES and CES to ENA buy sell tickets. Can't
think of any examples yet. Hope this doesn't cause repathing.

Subject: Dayton Stuff & Calp & other fun stuff
Hello my favorite TCO people: Here's what we here at team TCO have done so
far....Let's recap shall we..........
Dayton and Calp get the invoices from the p/l and we re-imburse them for the
transport differenentials so......
Dayton capacity buy at the citygate = Sitara #151878 - path as buy/sell with
your markets.
Dayton capacity sell at the pool = Sitara #151877 - path as buy sell from
pool. These 2 tkts should be released by Stephanie tomorrow morning. True
these up as best you can daily.
Also:
Calp capacity buy at the citygate = Sitara #149776 - path as buy/sell wth
your markets.
Calp capacity sell at the pool = Sitara #149775 - path as buy/sell at pool.
These 2 tkts should be released by Stephanie tomorrow morning. True these up
as best you can daily.
Our transport tkts from pool to city gate for all other transport still
remains Sitara# 95448 and Sitara# 95449. Please true up as best you can.
NEXT:
Do ya'll have 2 FSS Storages Contracts # 51407 and 63304?
Deal # 151879 covers storage K# 63304 and deal # 151880 covers storage K#
51407. The Sitara gods have to approve, bounce the server and then it will
appear in Unify for you to path....
Deal # 149778 is the storage w/d ticket for both K# 63304 and K#51407. Deal
# 151882 is the storage injection ticket for the same. The counterparty had
to be changed back to CPR storage. You guys have to unpath and re-path that
piece showing the purchase from CES for the storage w/d. Really SORRY about
this!!! Counterparty could not be CES --- We can't path on stg. contract and
out of inventory and buy from CES at the same time w/o the point not being
balanced.
Park and Lend contract #64031 and # 64041 are being set up by Chris in Sitara
but we have to get the Sitara gods to set up PAL contracts as ENA agency
deals for CES so he can't put the deals in the system just yet. They should
be available tomorrow hopefully!!!! They are for 250,000 on the first and
the 300,000 on the second of January. Path them accordingly depending on
where that PAL gas went.
In addition all deals that are ENA to CES or CES to ENA should be pathed as
buy/sells.
I think that is it for now. Let me know if anything else stops you from
pathing, running tracking and balancing and finally from bridging back the
first to Sitara. Let's set a GOAL to have the first totally pathed and
tracked and balanced and bridged back and clean by close of business the
19th. YEAH BABY!!!!
By the way, we really appreciate the monumental effort you three have made in
meeting all logistical requirements of the old and new TCO business and
keeping track of the volumes in Sitara, Unify and Navigator...We're are
zeroing in on end of month balance tie outs between Navigator and Sitara for
the 4 CES pools and the 2 ENA pools. We've kept a bunch of balls in the air
for the last 4 weeks and to my knowledge haven't dropped one darn ball yet.
Thanks.........

I am sending via fed ex a copy of the following info on Boston Gas/Colonial:
1. 11x17 map showing Tennessee routing through Colonial system
2. 8x14 map showing the various upgrades under discussion w/Boston Gas
3. recent information from Boston Gas on capacity/delivery pressure from BG.
Our understanding/expectation is that Tennessee will be increasing its line
pressure to accomadate potential back hauls now that Maritimes is tied in.
The
expected pressure on TGP is expected to rise over 600 psi. This will have a
big
impact on deliverability. Colonial serves ULP by drawing from Tennessee at
Tewksbury, and also has a LNG facility at that site. In order to ensure that
LNG can always be injected into their system, BG needs to regulate pressure to
no more than 600psi at the city gate. Currently the line is running from
300psi
to 600psi throughout the year.
Can you confirm our assumptions?
We are looking at the various options, but clearly option 3 looks best. We
will
be sending follow up questions tomorrow on quality of service (pressure drop,
"firm" service), throughput charges, and other clarifications.
We are asking BG for a meeting date next week, on either March 29 or 30; we
would like ENA to join us in these negotiations. Let us know if these dates
work for you.
Lets discuss tomorrow once you receive this information.

Subject: Trading Agreements
Bob:
It was nice talking to you today. I wanted to pass along Derek's contact
information and vice versa. Derek will be sending you our trading agreement
shortly, per your request. Please note that the version we are using does
not differ materially from the version Enron reviewed during 4Q 2000. Derek
Gamble is thoroughly familiar with our trading agreements and will be able
to answer any questions you may have for HoustonStreet. Please do not
hesitate to contact me directly though, if I can be of any assistance. As I
mentioned during our call, Enron is my top priority.
Best Regards,
John

In order for UBS Warburg to timely process your paycheck, I am requesting that all employee's accepting offers return any outstanding forms to my new desk location at 05852 on the 5th floor of ECS (Look for the Hamburg Flag) by noon this Friday 2/01/02. This will prevent any benefit deductions from having to be "Double Deducted" on future checks. Please attach a deposit slip or voided check stub to your direct deposit form. Attached below are the forms needed for payroll/benefits, in case you did not turn these in at Orientation. Lastly, please verify that your EHRonline home address is showing your current home address because all live checks will be mailed to your home residence.
Thanks, Tony Jarrett
