Subject: Misc

Had a great time this weekend.
I'm sure glad that Travis got another good  buck under his belt.
I think he is now ready to move it up a notch on the  next deer and if everything stays good at the ranch then it should be pretty  possible next year.
I was also wondering if you and Mama talked about paying Melissa for her  painting.
Mama mentioned to Melissa that she "owed" her but nothing more  than that.
She worked for no less than 20 hours and was disappointed that  she would not be able to do the rest of the house as we really need the  money.
Our negative checking balance needs some injection of cash and  Melissa had hoped to use the money to buy a few things for Christmas this  week as well.
If you haven't already, I'm sure that you can broach the  subject with Mama without letting her know that I asked.
Anyway,  Melissa really wanted to be able to paint more and is upset that she  wasn't able to "prove" to Mama that she is willing and able to work hard.
She still gets those not so subtle jabs all the time from Mama about not  working outside the home.
For the record, she busts her ass keeping our  house clean, clothes washed and ironed, meals cooked, and doing lots of  things to make sure we have a happy, healthy, and well adjusted son.
If  there is a way (later) that you can subtly encourage Mama to hold back on  these jabs when we next visit, it will go a long way toward ensuring a good  Christmas for everyone.
Anyway, definitely keep all of this confidential between me and you.
There  is no major problem here but I wanted to check off with you on this so we can  help keep everything going smooth and folks getting along.
I'm sure you see  my point of view here.
Thanks!
Subject: Increasing Washington Concerns over Potential Instability in  Pakistan, India, and Saudi Arabia

In the wake of US and British military action in Afghanistan, Washington has become increasingly concerned about the potential for a major military conflict between Pakistan and India, according to a high level US intelligence official, and the control of nuclear weapons in the region is being monitored.
There is also fear for instability in Saudi Arabia, where little information is available about the capabilities and intentions of Islamic extremist elements.
Consensus opinion has been built in Washington that Iraq was involved in the 11 September terrorist attacks on the US, exacerbating fears that the situation in the region could spiral out of control.
According to a senior US intelligence official, US policymakers have become increasingly concerned about the prospects for instability in the Middle East and South Asia.
Washington is focused particularly on the potential for a major conflict between Pakistan and India, and intelligence officials are attempting to track the location and control of nuclear weapons in the region.
Secretary of State Powell's trip to the two countries, although portrayed publicly as part of the effort to ensure support for US military action in Afghanistan, is in fact intended to address tensions between Islamabad and New Delhi, which have grown in recent days.
(India shelled several Pakistani military outposts in the disputed Kashmir territory today; an Indian army general described it as a "punitive action.")
Washington is also significantly more concerned than media coverage would suggest over the potential for major unrest in Saudi Arabia.
This fear is heightened by a lack of detailed information available on the royal family's grip on power and the capabilities of Islamic extremist elements in Saudi Arabia, which share similar goals: removal of the Saudi dynasty, establishment of a true Islamic state, and the removal of the US military presence.
Saudi and US officials regard bin Ladin as one of the prime perpetrators of Islamic extremist violence in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the region.
Bin Ladin has been outspoken in his criticism of what he calls 'military occupation' of Saudi Arabia.
Unrest in Saudi Arabia could have a relatively dramatic impact on regional stability and the global economy because of its leading role both in the Arab world and in OPEC.
US government officials are now generally convinced that the Iraqi government played a role in supporting the 11 September terrorist strikes in the US.
The well-publicized difference of opinion between senior State and Defense Department officials over the handling of the Iraq question has been reported accurately in the media.
Concern is growing within Washington that the situation in the Middle East could spiral out of control if Iraq were drawn into the military conflict precipitously, if major hostilities between Pakistan and India were to break out, or if the Saudi royal family's grip on power were to loosen.
Subject: Sale of Hanover Compressor Position

Recently, EPI completed the sale of Enron's remaining equity ownership in Hanover Compressor.
I want to thank Dick Lydecker and Mark Meier, who managed the sale of this investment for their very effective effort.
The total proceeds from the sale over the last 3 months totals $107 million.
The total return on the $30 million Hanover Compressor investment, was nearly $150 million (excluding substantial profits from other financing transactions with Hanover).
Kevin Howard and others have played an important role in this investment over the last several years.
The exit used a proprietary and confidential structure executed by Bear Stearns.
It is a true sale and there will be no remaining structures by the end of the year.
Our exit has not been made public.
This completes part of a continuous effort by EPI to sale many of Enron's remaining equity investment positions.
Thanks,

Subject: next tues

Liz, Greg told me on thurs to contact you regarding if he had anytime on tues aftn.
If he even has 15 min that woud suit as I'm just want to bounce some two or three ideas off him.
Greg,  If you have sometime to comment in writing or if you want to have a brief meeting on tues aftn I would appreciate it.
I am seeking your guidance as a mentor not as a manager.
1)  The group is trying something that it would seem only Morgan Stanley has achieved.
We want to be a trader and marketer of both physical oil and financial derivatives.
I liked the sound of this one year ago but thinking now we need to develop a franchise in one first rather than trying to do both in tandem.
2)  Jeff would like to see this group move away from 'view' trading to 'flow' trading.
I'm not convinced this is the right direction given our lack of existing customer business and traders with experience trading in this manner.
we seem to be taking a bunch of hockey players and asking them to go play basketball.
If we are going to go this course I would like some advise on trying to convince people to change and we need to think about the cost of changing the group to go this route.
3)  I feel we should stick to improving our fundamental analysis and working on developing a greater physical presence.
The approach to achieving that physical presense should come through aggressive pricing of physical supply to major consumers.
This is the only group that at a price will willingly outsource their oil exposure.
We should still work on trying to adapt to being more of a flow shop and develop customer business but not make it our top priority.
Subject: Organizational Announcement

Greg,  I've been helping the HR team draft this memo.
Cindy asked that I run it by you prior to having it sent out.
Any comments?
As we continue to address a number of issues facing Enron, it is critical that the company remain focused on attracting, motivating and retaining our diverse and talented workforce.
We strongly believe that our workforce is world-class - the best in any industry, so we will continue to develop and reward this tremendous talent base.
Because the lasting strength of our company is determined by the strength of our workforce, we are elevating the role employee-focused functions play within Enron.
We are pleased to announce that effective immediately Human Resources, Employee Responsibility, and Executive and Corporate Compensation will report directly to the Office of the Chairman.
David Oxley, Vice President, will continue to oversee Enron's Global HR function.
The lead HR representatives for the individual business units will report to David in addition to their respective Office of the Chairman.
Besides managing Recruiting, Staffing, Training, Compensation and the Performance Evaluation Process, David will also add Payroll and Labor Relations to his list of responsibilities.
Cindy Olson, Executive Vice President, will have responsibility for Employee Relations and Corporate Responsibility, which includes Social Responsibility, Community Relations, Diversity, Employee Relations, Redeployment, Alumni Relations, Employee Events and Programs, Benefits, Wellness, and Worklife.
Mary Joyce, Vice President, will continue to have responsibility for Executive and Corporate Compensation in addition to Global Employee Information Management and Reporting and Analysis.
David, Cindy and Mary will each report to the Office of the Chairman.
A detailed organizational chart is attached.
Please join me in congratulating them on their new responsibilities.
Subject: Hey Beast-Barracks-Buddy...!!!

Hi Greg,  Whassup?
I tried to contact you recently via your personal e-mail address, and then by sending you a letter, but got no reply.
I guess your admin staff has you behind their firewall..;~).
Hey, I'm working temorarily on a project here in Dallas until X-Mas, and just talked with Woody Woodmansee this morning.
He gave me your work address.
Said he spoke to you when you were in London recently.
We outta try to hook-up sometime while I'm here in Texas.
Please send me an e-mail or give me a call sometime, when you've got a free moment.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you...
Thanks,   Alex
Subject: CEO Letter - Open Enrollment Package

Attached is a revised draft of the letter from Ken Lay to employees about the healthcare benefits plan.
Specifically, this letter points out that Enron has elected not to increase medical costs for employees this year, but emphasizes that employees should plan for increased costs next year.
The letter will be part of an Open Enrollment package that employees will receive at their homes.
Please forward comments on the letter to me or Mikie Rath.
Subject: congrats

Hello Greg--A belated congrats on the new post at Enron--We had, as you probably read, a sort of pool going about who would get tagged for the big desk-- Most of the emails we received offering their thoughts on the question seems to favor you--most were also fmr Enron traders and the like.
I had to chuckle about the stories that ran about you in the past few weeks--you must be tired of the tanker reference by now.
I seem to recall the last time we traded emails and calls was around the time you took over the wholesale group--most of the stories at that time were equally clever--"he should know about volitility, he used to drive a tank in germany...blah blah blah.
Anyhow, hope all is well chief, would like to do an interview at some point, for either The Desk or The Risk Desk.
Your call.
By the way, who is the nominal head of the bandwidth desk these days--hawthorne?
Subject: next week

First, good luck next week.
Also, I will be in the office all next week and if you need anything, ENW related or not, call me or have someone call me and I will help.
I am focused on making sure EOL and ENW do not pop up on your list of things to think about.
Webb and Richter have been told that EOL up and performing well is critical.
As you know, the trade counts looked good last week and Jay and Brad have been getting data to Louise on the specifics of certain counterparties, etc.
Subject: View on Global Crossing

Here is my initial perspective.
I am still waiting for call backs on some information.
Bull Case Best positioned among emerging backbone carriers Core network build done Cash EBITDA positive (adjusted for IRU sales) Broad network coverage Reasonable liquidity: $2.6B forecast YE01 Potential upside $21   Bear Case: Extreme capacity supply/demand imbalance Pricing pressure, no apparent elasticity Low visibility in IRU and dark fiber sales business (28% revenue) $9B debt & pref Hard to make a constructive case on demand in intermediate term Potential issue with cash movement between Parent and Subs, covenant test Seems fairly valued on peer group risk-adjusted basis, absolute fair value $6  Conclusion: Debt yielding 23%, why would you buy equity?
Probability of recap: 50% Chance of survival without restructuring: 25%  If a proposed deal involved some cash exchange for equity upside I would be hard pressed to recommend that transaction.
I don't understand all the dynamics of a deal so if you want me to do any more in-depth work let me know.
I will pass on the additional information as I get it.
Regards,

Subject: Assessment of Global Crossing

Greg,  As you asked, I have taken a quick look at Global Crossing.
I think it is a close call, but they certainly have a decent shot of making it (by "making it" I mean the equity will have value and the company will not be restructured through bankruptcy).
Their assets, customers, and cash might marginally outweigh the debt load that the company has.
Most importantly, they definitely have a currency (Global Crossing stock) that has more value than anything in EBS.
If there is a potential deal to contribute assets of EBS into Global Crossing in exchange for equity, then I would recommend pursuing it even if it means contributing up to $100 million in cash to get it done.
However, I would make sure that Enron has no more contingent liabilities, consolidated burn or cash commitments.
The real question is will Global Crossing want what we have at any price.
I suspect that once they perform due diligence, they will "run away" (just as the knights did when faced with the killer rabbit in Monte Python's Search for the Holy Grail).
Thanks,
Subject: Economists for the Management Conference

Greg,  Below are a list of economists that we may want to consider for the Management Conference.
You may have thoughts or insights on one or more of them.
I've looked into Robert Rubins, but he is not accepting speaking engagements at the present time.
Of those listed below, I like Todd Buchholz, William Freund, Ron Insana and Paul Volcker.
(I really like Louis Rukeyser, but he's very expensive.)
I welcome your input on this.
I'm going to begin checking availability on those I mentioned tomorrow.

Lawrence, I hope you and your family are fine.
Is there someone from your friends and relatives, who is involved in this terrible strikes in New York and Washington?
I hope not, if yes let me know who.
You may remember Dan Plice, who made a joke on Hub's party as he told us, that Ronald Reagen is his uncle.
He lives since 10 years in NewYork, doing business in IT.
At the moment I have no living sign form him but hope he is ok. Unfortunatly this is a bad time to congratulate and feel happy with someone, who did a great step foreward in his career, but I want to use this email to do so.
Believe me, all members of the Stammtisch are proud to have you, the new COO of ENRON, as a friend.
Say hello to Kathrin, Mary and Nicolas.
Servus Ferdl   PS: You missed a big trinking time on the weekend of the 25th aniversary of the Stammtisch.
More info's and pictures will follow later.
Subject: Real Time Pricing In Effect

Greg, we maybe should discuss - I don't know that I disagree with Rogers action.
My understanding is that we have added $10/MWhr premium on all deals until further notice;  however, the impact of possible customer decision delays, un-available curves and the resulting idle sales force could cause a significant issue for Q3 retail financials.
If the net result is some downtime for a couple days probably no problem - if it is more than a couple days it is very difficult to catch up.
I will keep you in the loop.

Subject: Consultants - Office Space

Since 1/1/99, 84 people at an MD or above level left the company.
The only executives who maintained an office in an Enron building after they left were Cliff Baxter, David Haug and Ken Rice.
Cliff's runs through 10/31/01, David through 9/30/01 and Ken's access will probably be turned off in a week.
If you need any other information, just give me a call at x33993.
Also, David mentioned that you all had discussed potential changes to the PRC/Bonus process.
It might be very helpful if the 3 of us could brainstorm and I'd be happy to go through the Board/Shareholder approval process.
We may be limited in what we can do given how late in the year it is.
Thanks!
