Subject: Economist Interviews

Jeff Skilling Mike McConnell Greg Piper John Arnold  Thank you for agreeing to interview with Vijay Vaitheeswaran of the Economist on Tuesday.
Mike is scheduled for 12:30, Jeff for 2 p.m., Greg for 3 p.m. and John for 4 p.m.  Vijay is working on a story about old economy companies embracing the Internet.
He'll be testing the idea put forward by Erik Brynjolfsson of MIT that companies profiting most from the Internet are ones with a culture of openness.
As background, he has secured an advance copy of a new Harvard Business School case on EnronOnline, which basically outlines the advent of EOL.
It's a story that you all know well, and so you should not be disadvantaged if you don't have a copy of the study.
(I can give you one if you want it.)
Specifically, he'll be probing: How did the company begin to think about using the Internet?
Have our views altered?
What role models did we use?
What changes have worked best and why?
How far has success been dependent on changing corporate culture?
Has it gone far enough?
What has been the impact on staffing?
Do we have the right people to do what needs to be done?
Has the Internet made -- or will it make -- substantial cost savings?
What is the scale of investment needed?

Subject: Enron's secret bid to save deregulation - PRIVATE MEETING Chairman  pitches his

Jeff   Candidly, this wouldn't have been my approach  (posh location, closed format, odd group, seemingly self-serving agenda).
I read the article below  as unsympatheticand almost  mocking in its tonetoward Enron.
It's  noteworthy theBeverly Hills meeting was not covered in the Los Angeles  papers.
Instead, this article comes fromthe front page of the Bay Area's San Francisco Chronicle (Democratic bastion and  home to both of California's United States Senators, power broker Willie Brown,  Attorney General Bill Lockyer and the state's public utility commission).
Consistent with myconcern about a "coast-to-coast  firestorm"engulfing Enron, the New York  Times ran two articles today that were  unsupportiveof the  company.
q        Senator Calls  for Hearings Into Energy Regulators' Moves By CHRISTOPHER MARQUIS Senator  Dianne Feinstein called for hearings into possible improprieties between members  of the F.E.R.C.
and private energy interests.
q        Enron's  Dispute With Utility in India Grows More Tangled By SARITHA RAI The  dispute between the Enron Corporation and Indian federal and state government  officials keeps getting messier.
These follow the Times'  tough piece on Ken Lay yesterday.
Undoubtedly, the Washington Post will have to get into fray  soon.
My feeling is that just as  with the "business" side, Enron's public policy strategy needs be well informed,  sophisticated and comprehensive.
I  fear that anything less will fuel the potential of undesirable outcomes for  Enron's reputation, leadership and shareholdervalue.
Subject: Africa

Jeff: My name is Tom Mashington and I'm a Construction Project Manager for EES in their Philadelphia office.
A few weeks ago, I received in the mail a Enron newsletter which contained a feature of you and your interests.
While reading the article, I noticed that you're into "Anything Africa."
Two years ago, I was working in Ghana, West Africa on a cogen plant with Stone & Webster.
Most US.
citizens have no idea what the conditions are like in these 3rd world countries.
I was curious as to how many trips you've made to the sub-Saharan section of the continent and to which countries you have visited.
Earlier, I was discussing my African experience with Marty Sunde.
I sent him a few ebony wood carvings purchased from the local villagers.
These pieces were hand carved by artisans in the area.
If you have a moment, you should stop by his office on the 8th floor where he has them on display.
I have also attached the files containing a few digital photo's from the area where I lived and worked.
These are primarily photos from the local villages near the plant.
While you're viewing the photos, you should be able to recognize me.
I'm the only American looking individual in the tribe.
Enjoy  Tom Mashington

Hi- This afternoon at 5pm I have a  conference call with moderators from forums 1,3,5 along  with Johnny Duncan  to determine  draft order for upcoming Forum draw.
J. Hines has agreed  to head the selection of the new Forum as  his Forum is not going to participate.
My understanding  is that your Forum  would pass on this draft as well ...our goal is that by next year all Forums  would  have 9-11 members with 10 as a norm target... according  to my records you should be there by  participating in next years draft...I believe this will  leave 7-8 for the new Forum along with 1 or 2  veterans to form its nucleus..Please email me if you  have any thoughts that are contrary to my thinking  or if you wish to be on the call, please notify me or  Vivian asap....

I think this is symptomatic of the market conditions that have made it difficult for us to successfully market the EGA assets.
Subject: Hakluyt

Dear Mr Skilling, Following Phil Carroll's letter to you of April 16 I would be delighted to call on you to tell you more about Hakluyt.
While we have already done some work for Enron (Scott Tholan), virtually all our work for our clients is at a strategic level where our coverage of issues is of greatest value.
With your challenging international objectives I am confident we could be of value to you.
If you would find it useful to meet I will contact your office to arrange a suitable time.
Yours sincerely

Subject: I would like to help you succeed with this challenge.

Jeff   The attached  "Rough & Tumble" is an electronic clipping service targeted at California  politicos and policy wonks.
It carried the LA Times version of the Lockyer  comments a couple days ago.
Today, it has the NY Times article on Ken  Lay.
It's pretty clear that in the near-term, Enron and it's  leadership are at risk of being engulfed in a political firestorm  which bounces from coast to coast, gaining strength each step of the  way.
However, it  is the long-term challenge that draws my attention.
From my research  to date, I am left with the strong impression that the Enron's capacity  for acquiring, distilling and assessing business information is much  stronger than it's abilities with public policy information.
Ken Lay,  you and your team have shaped a innovative and entrepreneurial  company rooted in agile arbitrage of business knowledge.
Like  Goldman Sachs, it is hard for the "man on the street" to understand  precisely what Enron does.
However, because of your presence in  businesses that play out daily in homes, schools and small  businesses, Enron will be scrutinized in a way the Goldman couldn't imagine  in it's worst nightmares.
From my  perspective, the success of Enron's business model demands a sure  footing in both business and public policy.
Going  forward, these two areas of expertise need  become intertwined to assure the success of the highly  sophisticated, ethical, innovative and insightful global corporation  known as Enron.
I would like  to help you succeed with this challenge.
I look forward to our  discussions.
Subject: IF there is something useful I can do...

Jeff, Thanks for being on the panel at the CEO Forum.
I really appreciated getting to hear the Enron story and talk through the talent issues with you.
At my end, I am targeting my time to work with a few executive teams who are looking to forge a consensus response to problematic issues around managing for shareholder value, dealing with the "nasty bit," and managing context so that it does not overtake core.
If I could ever be of use to you at Enron, it would be a privilege.

Subject: Interview

In order to prepare a paper for my graduate class on Leadership, I would like to interview you as a leader.
Some questions that would be of interest would be what events conspired to bring you to Enron, what developmental process you knowingly (or unknowingly) went through in your early years and what challenges have you encountered that made a significant change in your career.
If you would be amenable and have the time, I would like to interview you sometime next week for about 30-40 minutes.
If you wish, I could provide you questions in advance to maximize your time.
Thank you for considering this request.
Subject: June 1 Deep Dive/Houston

Jeff:  The whole team and I very much enjoyed our meeting with you last Friday.
We were looking forward to having the opportunity to tell you all about the progress of our business.
We felt that the give and take and the dialogue during the course of the meeting was excellent, and we hope that in the future we will be able to have useful dialogues like this at appropriately periodic intervals.
To memorialize the follow-up steps from this, we thought it would be useful to write this down so we may remain responsive to your questions regarding our progress.
1.
We want to confirm the reasonableness of our net churn numbers; we plan to develop a fact base of churn experience over the course of the next few months and analyze these compared to the original business case model.
We would be prepared to review this churn with you in about three months.
2.
To analyze the rationale of our hedging of long term contracts against the "disaster" of falling prices; this is to be done against the assumption that our customers will leave us on the basis of strict economic rationality.
We believe that providing this type of analysis would be very useful for us as we enter the year 2002 where power and gas prices will be substantially different next year than they are now.
We would be prepared to review the results of this analysis with you in the fall.
3.
Decompose our net cash burn to indicate the "levers" to reduce that cash burn against unforeseen problems/disasters.
We would plan to do this as part of our normal budgeting process for 2002.
We would plan to review this with our Board in our fall meeting.
We believe that it is the right course of activity to review this with the Board and then follow up with you if there are any questions going forward.
We also believe that there could be an opportunity to review the cash burn significantly given the fact that a large part of our cash burn is spent on systems development for entry into specific markets.
Jeff, as I said in the beginning, we very enjoyed meeting with you and we hope that we were able to prove to you that we have made substantial progress.
I would like to feel that I will have the opportunity to get in touch with you at key juncture intervals during the development of our company.
Thanks again for your time.

You moved to Turkey to write - now you have someone to share your life experiences.
Life is good.
I am doing great.

Speaking of field,  I went to Enron Field last night.
Fantastic baseball stadium.
A must on your travel list.
I'm sure someone else you may know  also feels the same way.
Yes, it's premium time again.

I told Jeff when he made the gift, I would be contacting you to make the premium payment at the end of the month  I will e-mail you on 5/30/01 the exact amount your are responsible to pay.
As last year, I will e-mail a Word attachment you can sign and fax back to me.

If you guys watched the Monaco Grand Prix this past Sunday...  perhaps you saw the fellow from the Ferrari team who went on the podium to  receive the winner's trophy from Prince Ranier?
That was my good friend Luca Baldisserri, who is the chief  engineer for Ferrari and won almost everything these past few years with his  driver Michael Schumacher...Luca is likely the best car engineer in the world,  and is interested to join me in the future as a partner to operate a team in the  U.S. based CART "IndyCar" series...
I invited you both as our sport requires strong corporate  partners to function... and thought you may have interest with knowledge that  you would be working with some of the best people in the world... which would  make it reasonable to achieve a very positive return on any corporate  investment.
Please feel welcome to keep in touch... and to join us  for a race this summer if you wish.

Subject: Online application issues

Jeff,  I have been researching Enron and understand some of the difficulties with running global applications.
Many companies have problems with database replication over a wide area network.
Traditional database replication is great for local area replication within one data center.
Once you scale to multiple data centers, traditional replication is unreliable, complicated to set up and manage, and very expensive.
Zembu's software was designed to address this exact problem.
Our data replication and synchronization solution can be used with 2 to n geographically dispersed data centers.
Zembu also alleviates problems with:

Subject: The Morning Market Call - Friday June 1st, 2001

<<MF June 1st 2001.pdf>>  			Good Friday Morning - Comments From The Local Guys!
In comments made by Steve Slifer, Lehman Brothers' economist, he indicates that the U.S. economy remains in limbo - neither in recession nor in recovery.
After a string of weaker-than-expected economic data, Friday's employment report came in stronger than expected.
Payroll employment fell 19,000 in May, as expected, but there were large net upward revisions of 153,000 to March and April.
The unemployment rate fell a tenth, to 4.4%.
On the surface, this suggests strength in the economy; however, the drop was caused  by a decline in the number of people looking for jobs.
This is a sign of weakness, not strength.
However, there has been  a rise in both major measures of consumer confidence in May, and Congress passed a major tax cut, including almost a percentage point worth of economic stimulus in 3Q.
All of this leaves us where we started: more near-term economic weakness and another 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve  on June 27,  The 30-year US T-Bond yield is 5.70%.
.
The 5-year is trading at 4.90%.
Spot crude oil is trading at $27.90 p/b.
Natural Gas - Henry Hub -  is trading at $3.94 p/mcf.
AD Time:  New Federal Insider-Trading Rule (Rule 10b5-1) have been adopted by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
This rule greatly enhances an insider's/employee's ability to trade his/her corporate shares during blackout periods.
Previously, without the protection of this new SEC rule, employees and insiders could safely trade only outside of designated blackout windows.
Under this new rule, insiders/employees may have the ability to purchase and sell their corporate shares even during blackout periods if a written plan was established and in force when the insider/employee was not in possession of material, non-public information.
The new rule contains other restrictions and should be reviewed carefully.
Lehman Brothers has established a turn-key plan that take into account the regulatory procedures for establishing such a plan.
