Subject: El Paso

Here is the Commission's basic policy on reverse open seasons.
I've asked Randy Rich to look into the other aspects of your questions, which we'll discuss shortly.
The Commission has a two-step process for determining whether the market finds an expansion project economically viable.
The first step, which occurs prior to the certificate application, is for the pipeline to conduct an open season in which existing customers are given an opportunity to permanently relinquish their capacity.
This first step ensures that a pipeline will not expand capacity if the demand for that capacity can be filled by existing shippers relinquishing their capacity.
The second step is that the expansion shippers must be willing to purchase capacity at a rate that pays the full costs of the project, without subsidy from existing shippers through rolled-in pricing.
The reverse open season requirement (i.e., the requirement that a pipeline give customers the opportunity to turn back capacity) is established Commission policy.
It was stated in the Commission's Pricing Policy for New and Existing Facilities Constructed by Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines, 71 FERC P61,241 at p. 61,917 (1995), reh'g denied, 75 FERC P61,105, and later reiterated in Certification on New interstate Natural Gas Pipeline Facilities (Certificate Policy Statement), 88 FERC P61,227 (1999), order clarifying statement of policy, 90 FERC P61,128, order further clarifying statement of policy, 92 FERC P61,094 (2000).
My research has indicated that the Commission has provided few specifics on how a reverse open season is to be conducted.
This probably allows pipelines considerable discretion in how they conduct their solicitations of turnback.
General Commission policy would probably require only that shippers be given adequate notice of and opportunity to respond to the reverse open season.
If the procedure used by El Paso for soliciting turnback becomes an issue, please let me know and let's discuss it.
I'll be up in a few minutes for our call to Randy.
Subject: Mid Year Reviews

I have prepared the feedback forms for my employees and will be discussing it with them shortly.
I am recommending Sales/Presentations courses for both Tyrell and Paul.
Please let me know if you would agree that these would be worthwhile and, if you wish, you can suggest some that you have had experience with.

Subject: Car Repair

Barry,  I have spoken to my insurance agent.
Please take the car in for an estimate and let me know what they say.
After that I can work with the insurance company to get them to do the rest of the coordination.
Thank you.
I am sorry for the inconvenience and for the whole incident.
Subject: Counselling

Good morning Barry,  Just to let you know that I am on holidays August 11-26, so your counselling will have to be this week or when I return.
Did Enron provide you with approval for a "Post Arrival Consultation"/PAC?
This is the counselling our PwC Houston office does.
(So, in effect there are two possible counselling sessions for assignees - the predeparture counselling you are supposed to receive before you depart Canada and then there's the PAC).
PwC Houston is prepared to set up the "PAC" - they simply want to know if you received approval for it.
Thanks,
Subject: Palo Alto Confirms

Anne,  I just got another phone call from Palo Alto.

Subject: Block III Recall Rights

Further to our discussions about our EPNG capacity:   Our research had resulted in an opinion that there is little value associated with PG&E's (northern CA customers) recall rights on Block III capacity.
While it was not part of the original settlement, the 24 hour RE-recall rights to the shipper of record appear to give PG&E a DAILY call on capacity at best.
Because we have pieced this opinion together based upon rulings in various proceedings, we would like a more formal regulatory/legal opinion of the mechanics of the RE-recall provision that has been developed over time.
Is this something that either of you can provide or should it go to Randy?
The results of this inquiry will set the tone of our next round of dicussions with EPNG.
By the way, still waiting on their written reponse to our letter.....
I think they have bigger fish to fry.
Please advise.

Subject: Pension Rollover

Barry:            You probably thought I had forgotten about you!
I had not.
I wanted to       iron out some areas of concern from my end here.
As you know, I am not       supposed to do an investment for you while you are a resident of the       US.
I have discovered that if we put the money into an account and not       make moves on it until you move back to Canada, then we can do it if I       use a Canadian address.
I was advised to put the money into a balanced       fund and leave it there for now.
My thoughts are to move it to a       couple of funds in a self administered account and NOT make any moves       with it.
Please review this note, and let me know what you think.
If all is ok       I will mail you the forms to sign (which you signed here), and we will       get this moving.
Hope all is well with you down there.
Regards      Rob

Michael,  Sorry for the delay, but I finally have a revised version of your contract from our legal department.
Although we have made what appear to be substantial revisions, I believe the key aspects of the agreement remain intact and the revised contract adheres to industry standards.
Please let me know what you think.

Subject: Calpine - How'd you like to market services for me?

My dear friends (yes I want something): I have a proposal in front of Colin for the provision of services and wondered if you might get it back in the conversation at dinner in San Fran.
Actually in all seriousness, Stephanie mentioned that you're meeting with him and I thought you might be interested in seeing what we'd proposed.
Is someone in Producer Services also selling services to Calpine, or would it fall into your shop?
Subject: Meeting with PG&E

Hi, Barry,  To help me prepare for our meeting:  What role does Stephanie play?

Most important: Do you like paella?
Ray
Subject: Southwest Gas in Nevada

Would you know, or do you know who would know, whether ENA serves any end use customers off of Southwest Gas's system in Nevada?
We have a case before the Nevada PUC where SW Gas is trying to force transportation customers who return to sales service to sign up for a minimum term of 5 years and then to give one year's notice before they can return to transportation.
Some customers went back to sales because of delivery and pricing problems last winter, so it became an issue (although most of those customers only had to sign up for 1 year of sales).
Subject: Nat Gas Orig - Meeting

As discussed in the hallways over the last couple of weeks.... getting together is probably a timely item.. Can I suggest a meeting for the end of next week.
I will ask my assistant to check calenders and get us all together.
(1 hour meeting ).
Suggestions on topics, issues agenda can be put forward at the first UNION meeting.
regards, BT
Subject: Industrial Plan

UNION members:  The attached presentation provides one format to develop a general orig "plan" for attacking the industrial market.
The objective is to encapsulate our "common view" of the industrial market opportunities, resource strategy, product strategy, etc..(it also shows Louise that we are working together), .
A more specific plan would be needed for each region driven by specific market needs.
There is no pride of authorship for this format - changes/rewrites are expected.
I you agree this has some value as a way to capture the results of our discussions, I will have an Associate from my group, JD Buss, to develop this further and coordinate comments and input from you or someone on your teams.
Let JD know who he should get in touch with.

Subject: ISDA

Gentlemen,    As you know, I have been working with Steve Lins to negotiate the ISDA agreement so that Enron and the City of Glendale are able to enter into financial transactions.
I spoke with Steve today and he plans to review our latest draft and get back to me with any final changes so that we can send him an executable copy, along with our required documents, for signature next week.
In other words, I am confident that we will have an executed ISDA within the next couple of weeks.
My boss, Barry Tycholiz, and I are going to be in southern California September 17 & 18 and would like to set up a meeting with you guys to discuss alternatives to swaping out some of your index priced gas supply.
We are available to meet with you after 2 pm on the 17th or at any time on the 18th.
Please let me know when you guys are available and I will set that time aside for you.
We look forward to meeting with you and expanding our business with the City of Glendale.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Subject: Redeployment Candidates

Barry,  As promised, here are some of the current redeployment candidates that have a marketing/structuring/trading background for consideration concerning your West Origination opening.
I believe that you have seen Jim Lowe before and expressed some limited interest in him.
The other candidates are most likely new to you.
Let me know if you would like to pursue any of these redeployed employees.
Also, I spoke with Mark McConnell today, and he mentioned that he had accepted the offer to join the Transwestern group of ETS.
He primary motivation for selection of this option was his desire to work with asset deals.
As we know, given EWS "asset light" approach to deal making, this option would be difficult to fulfill within the West Origination group.
However, he mentioned that he was very impressed with your group, and short of the asset piece maintained a high interest in your open position.

Hello Barry,  My name is Todd Neugebauer and I am a manager in EBS Wholesale Origination in Europe.
I came over here as an associate in February and was promoted in June.

If you have a need, I am going to be in Houston late next week and would be able to meet then to discuss any opportunities.

Subject: Talked to Baldwin

Talked to Mark.
First thing he has to do is convince Davis' lawyers that his companies' client list (which includes TW) shouldn't conflict him out of working on DWR gas deals.
He should have that figured out by this week--sounds like he may have to make some decisions about his current client list and working for DWR.
Subject: 2002 Direct Expense Plan

Barry - For your cost center, I increased travel by $25k and Conferences & Training by $2,697.
I didn't make any other changes to Mark's.
These two files show the detail.
This file shows the combined plan for West Origination.
The "Income Statement" tab is what will be presented to Office of the Chair.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Subject: Louisiana-Pacific (L-P) natural gas

Barry, I understand you have some reservations about my involvement with L-P's request for assistance to financially hedge their natural gas exposure.
I have no problem working with Dave Fuller as I did regarding another entity or with whomever from your group regarding this matter, as long as I am financially rewarded for my time and efforts.
As you will see for the attached letter from L-P, I have put a great deal of time and effort into positioning Enron as L-P's preferred ESP to the point of being asked to join their internal energy team.
If you would please advice me how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.
Thanks,  John    - John M Energy Team Request.doc
Subject: PG&E Master

Jeff, did Mark H. sign off on us removing triangular set-off between affiliated entities.
We have removed the concept as instructed by Barry, but do not want to send to PG&E unless we have Mark's OK.  Also, Eric/Barry you were going to canvass Bill in terms of what he would require for Credit.

Subject: PG&E Capacity

We have 200,000 mmbtu/day of "Block II" capacity available through May 31, 2006.
It is labeled "Block II" because PG&E owns recall rights on the entire block through 12/31/2005.
The ROFR rights that go with this capacity add a tremendous amount of value (i.e.
market rates with short term commitment vs. 15 - 20 year obligation of new build)  Capacity currently has access to all supply basins.
However, the current FERC proceedings on receipt point reallocations will probably result in a supply split of 60% San Juan and 40% Permian.
Rates for the capacity and my Duke proposal are attached.
Please call if you have any questions.
Subject: Follow up

Hi Barry,  I have sent to you in the mail an article regarding the situation with your stock account at TD.
Our best advice is to probably close out the account per TD and do online trading, if that suits you, or move the funds to the US.
Re the cottage in Riding Mountain - go ahead.
Two things:  it isn't useable in the winter, so it's not available for your use and the second thing is that you are going to be purchasing it AFTER you've become a non-resident.
Amex Card - probably isn't a huge issue to use the Canadian one, but it is a tie.
Please call with any further enquiries or for clarification.

Subject: western states

Hey Paul----I did get together with Barry Tycholiz this afternoon when I was in Houston to review the matrix that we have on price risk management initiatives and current practice at the state PUCs in the west.
As you know, the matrix is a starting point, and I encouraged Barry to take a stronger look at his opportunities in each state and that we would do further spade work in those states as he identifies his prospects.
We talked about 3 states that he has initial interest in--- California (Barry is already talking to Dasovich and I will touch base with Jeff tomorrow to follow up), Colorado and Nevada.
Subject: EPNG ROFR Process

1.
Notice of intent to execute ROFR due six months prior to expiration (Nov 30)  2.
EPNG posts capacity on bulletin board specifying terms and conditions  3.
Open season must last for a minimum of 20 business days  4.
Bidders must conform to procedures in EPNG's tariff (sec 28.9 b)  5.
EPNG is not obligated to accept offer at less than maximum rate.
6.
Bids will be evaluated to determine best bid in accordance with tariff (Sec 28.10 b)  6.
If EPNG accepts a bid, Shipper has 5 business days to match and is not obligated to match more than five years  7.
If no competing offers received, shipper is "not entitled" to extend the contract except by agreeing to pay max rates or negotiating otherwise with EPNG.
Subject: Colorado PRM

Mark/Barry--- I finally had a chance to look this week at the Colorado PUC proposed rulemaking amendments regarding price risk management (PRM) for gas utilities.
As we had generally talked about, the appetite for meaningful change to the PUCs rules has been pretty weak by staff and to a great extent by the Commissioners themselves.
These proposed rules reflect some movement toward encouraging utilties to implement PRM, but does NOT require them to implement, nor is there a clear statement that the PUC will allow recovery of costs.
Here's a short list of what's in the rules:

One of the guys here recieved a call from a guy at EES looking for contacts at gas utilities in the Northwest.
They are hoping to sell them some sort of deal where they provide the utility structured products and the utility pushes them through to the endusers... isn't that my Cascade deal?
Let's discuss Monday, it sounds like something we need to nip in the bud.
