Subject: Resume of a former FX trader

I am forwarding the resume of Wendell Licon who works for Enron in the HR department (executive compensation).
He used to be an FX trader.
I am thinking about moving him to research when his current boss is ready to release him.
I think, however, that you should take a look at him as well and see if he fits your needs.

Subject: Shalesh

Jim,  Clarification regarding Shalesh' transfer to EBS.
The request to rotate Shalesh out of Research into EBS came from Ravi Thuraisingham.
My understanding was that it was fully coordinated with you and I was more than happy to oblige.
Shalesh is concerned that his integrity is being questioned and I can assure you that he was not the instigator of the move.
My impression is that Shalesh is doing a very good job and Ravi is very happy him.
I shall be glad to keep him in the Research Group in his current role.
Have a good 4th of July.

Subject: VaR

David,  During today's VaR coordination meeting  we had a discussion of issues  related to mapping of the forward price curves into core locations.
Mapping is a  necessity dictated by the limitations of the computer system: we have to reduce the dimensionality of the problem to stay within the bounds of available CPU memory.
Also, in some cases the quality of price discovery  is poor  and it's difficult to model the price curves independently: we solve the  problem by mapping them into more liquid and better behaved core  locations curves.
We have agreed on the following:  1.
Winston will investigate the IT side and determine to what extent we can  increase the number of forward price curves that are simulated as basic (core) curves.
He will  investigate the impact of a larger number of the core curves on the time required to complete the VaR run.
2.
The curves associated with the biggest 10-20 positions in each commodity  should be modeled as core curves (i.e.
no mapping into other locations).
It makes sense  to monitor the biggest risks separately and avoid aggregating them into  less  transparent aggregates.
3.
The results of an automated clustering (mapping) procedures should be  systematically monitored by a human and corrected if they misrepresent the risks of the  trading positions.
This responsibility should be vested with one person (right now the  responsibility is dispersed through the organization and this means in practice that nobody is responsible).
Research can allocate one person to this task; cooperation of trading and RAC will be critical.

Subject: Iraq and Crude Output

An interesting piece of information from the oil markets.
Iraq is trying to extract concessions from the US and threatens to shut down production as of Oct 1 (just in time for the US elections).
The source of this info is Phil Verlaeger (an oil analyst).
He is very good but excessively concerned with Iraqi machinations.
He is the source of news (reported by Friedman of the New York Times in his op-ed columns) about massive Iraqi trading in the oil futures markets.
I personally discount this info: the volume and  transparency of the oil markets  would not support this type of huge scale operations by  Saddam's government.
There may be some trading by Iraqi officials on the side.

Subject: Akamai

Kevin,  I have followed up on your request to identify a potential hire from Akamai (a person familiar with their technology).
We can start  discussions with the targets in a few days.
Please, let me know which unit in EBS is a potential hiring agent.
If it's Research, who inside EBS can sponsor  this position?
We have to  discuss the responsibilities and job description.

Subject: Wharton Event-June10-Insead

Bryan,  I shall  call you later today when I have a chance to read the message from  Ben.
I wanted to ask you for a favor (on a very short notice).
We are talking to  the Wharton School about setting up a relationship with them and getting involved in one or  more  research projects with them.
One of the potential  topics is emerging technologies.
The Wharton offers  a  symposium in Paris on June 10  on High Tech Acquisitions  and it would make a lot of sense if you (or somebody from London you could identify) could attend and help us to  evaluate the usefulness of this project.
I am enclosing the message from the person in Wharton running this program.

Subject: Managing Enron's relationships with the universities

Jeff,  I would like to get on your calendar (together with Jeff Shankman) for 15 -  30 minutes to discuss the results of my visit at the Wharton School with Tom Piazze.
A separate message about  this visit will follow.
I would like also to talk to you  about the way we manage our relationships  with different universities.
Historically, we were rather passive customers of the academic institutions, trying to hire the best students and limiting our  presence on the campuses mostly to the recruiting trips and campus receptions.
We should rethink the way we work  with universities.
The efforts to get  the best students look more and more like a hand-to-hand combat and often we  are not very successful.
It is critical that we increase our presence on the campuses and this can be accomplished in a number of different ways:  1.
Involvement in research projects.
For  example, we are currently   underwriting two research projects at Stanford University, involving  Ph.D. students of Professor   Nicholas Bambos (a top expert on communications networks).
We shall participate in formulation of the projects' objectives and will be given access to the results.
Involvement in research projects allows us to obtain  access to current scientific developments in the leading universities and  also to lock-up some very promising students.
Most companies in the high tech industries have such  programs.
2.
Lectures and presentations by Enron employees.
Practically every  presentation I have made so far at different universities resulted in a number of resumes  and hiring decisions.
It is important that students get exposed to Enron early in their academic  program.
In many cases, the best students have already made up their mind by the time we approach  them during their  senior years.
3.
Visits by faculty members in Enron.
Closer cooperation with the universities has many advantages in addition to  getting the best students

Subject: Recommendation for John Gordon

Celeste,  I am forwarding you a letter from Prof. Duane Seppi from Carnegie Mellon  University.
I have known Duane for many years and I know that he does not make his recommendations without very good reasons.
I would recommend looking at John Gordon as a very strong candidate: I think he will make a terrific contribution to Enron.
Vince
Subject: Brad Romine

Greg,  As you may know, Brad Romine's dot.com venture fell apart.
The offer from Enron looks much better now.
I have arranged for him a number of different interviews (including one with you).
I think we should  not be too punitive and give him the 2nd chance.
I am also setting up for him interviews  with RAC and EBS  and he should be able to negotiate a good first rotation.
Please, give me a call if you have any other question.

Subject: Steve's trip to Houston

Dale, Richard,  I am ready to cover the cost of Steve's trip to Houston (one month in the  summer).
I think very highly of Steve and think about coaching him a bit to expand his horizons.
I see him as a very valuable asset of Enron and a great leader in not too distant future.
He needs exposure to more diverse business problems and areas of research.
I think it will be in the best interest of  the company to devote some resources to foster his development.

Subject: auctions with an incumbent's right of first refusal

Shelley,  My colleague, Clayton Vernon, who has a background in  economics, wrote a  short summary of arguments against the ROFR.
We are working on the second approach to the problem: we try to come up with  a numerical estimate of the value of this option.
The fact that an incumbent shipper has this option has  distributional consequences: he has something  of value he never paid for.
Having a numerical estimate of  the value of this option could help to argue against it.
The value of such an option is case specific;  so we shall rather  produce a template you can use for valuation case by case.

Subject: Joe Carson

Greg,  Two things I did not manage to mention to you at the meeting on Monday.
1.
Joe Carson.
I was very positively impressed by Joe Carson.
Enron  badly needs a senior economist of his stature and       experience.
He has many contacts in the industry and can represent       Enron well.
He is very pragmatic and, also, I expect a cool head on old       shoulders.
One negative is that he wants to work out of New York.
The tradeoff is  between      maintaining  his contacts and working closer with the desks.
2.
Tony Mends.
I think you, or Louise, should explore the possibility of  using the skills of Tony Mends.
Tony and I are good friends so I may be biased.
I think that he is a very  smart     and efficient person and can contribute a lot to the organization that  relies     on processing huge volumes of information.
