Subject: Just when we thought it was safe....

It turns out the initial auction product will not be the emissions credits  but rather the EnBank UK synthetic gas storage product.
They want this  auction to allow bids to be revoked or revised up until the end of the  auction period and not to have the ability to accept bids until the  expiration time.
There is still no commitment to sell anything.
All  transactions will be for sales by Enron to the counterparty.
I have taken a  stab at revising the procedures language with this in mind.
Subject: Photos

I finally got my film developed - this gives you an idea of how often I use  the camera - and thought you might like these.
Unfortunately the only shot  on the roll of Bruce didn't turn out - directly attributable to the  photographer's lack of skill - and we never did have anybody take a group  shot.
There were several others that you can tell would have been great  shots if my thumb hadn't half obscured the lens.
The sunset was taken during  our last night there while you guys were swimming off in the direction the  picture was taken (if you listen carefully, you can almost hear Ted losing  his lunch down below).
Hope you guys are well - any trips to Houston on the agenda?

Subject: Reference Entity review

I received the proposed list of reference entities today.
Here is a draft of  a memo that I cobbled together to use in trying to get input from others  within Enron for the restriced list.
Would you let me know what you think?
I will be meeting with Mark H. tomorrow to talk with him about it.
It isn't  clear to me who should receive this and from whom it should come.
Since the  communications people may have relationships with some of these folks, is  Kristina the right person?
I know that EES has some kind of joint venture  with AOL - should Vicki sign off?
If it is going to such persons, should the  memo come from Mark?
Cliff Baxter?
John Sheriff?
Jim Derrick?
Subject: Australiann Power Product Long Form Decsriptions

I just looked at the first couple of documents attached and wanted to make  sure the second item listed in them works.

I think it works but I had to work through it to get there -  it wasn't immediately obvious to me.
Subject: Credit Derivatives Reference Entities

Here is the revised list - there are several European entities that we showed  in our database so I have highlightedd them as well.
There were also several  from Friday's list that were still there so I have also bolded those.

Subject: Reference Entities

Paul -   Thanks for your voice mail.
We can't print the list of Reference Entities  from the website because we have not been given access.
We do need to get  that list to the various other reviewers in Houston and I am sure that is the  list that Michael referred to.
The EnronOnline people are probably concerned because they don't have a final  list of Reference Entities for their launch.
That list absolutely must be  scrubbed by the other GC's before it is approved.

Subject: UK Courts vs. Arbitration for UK Swap Agreements

Richard:  In the US we have changed our swap agreement forms to provide for arbitration  in order to avoid having to explain the intricacies of derivatives trading to  judges or, God forbid, juries.
In Canada we are continuing to submit to the  jurisdiction of Canadian courts (on the theory that there are no juries in  civil actions and arbitration is rarely used in Canadian contracts  generally).
As we are presently in the process of revising our UK swap  agreement forms, I guess it's time to revisit the issue as it applies to UK  agreements.
Currently we agree to UK law and the jurisdiction of UK courts  (where there are no juries in civil actions).
Should this continue to be our  policy or should we begin going for arbitration in the UK contracts also?
I  would ask Paul and Scott to let Richard and me know if arbitration is widely  enough used in UK agreements that we can get away with asking for it.
Thanks,

Subject: Ken Lay on Enron's stock price volatility

Why is Enron's stock so volatile now?
Since today's session started, ENE      has lost another $2.50!
Mr. Ken Lay replies      I haven't had a chance to check our stock today, but I think for several  reasons      it's more volatile.
But before I comment on that, our stock price is  still up even      if it went down that much today.
It's up 40% since the beginning of the  year      when the Dow was down.
As recently as mid-December, the stock price is up      about 75%.
That's one reason why it's so volatile.
Some people bought in      along the way, they've had a good strong increase, particularly with the      uncertainty in the marketplace, people just want to take some money off  the      table.
As we become more of a technology stock, a high P/E stock, a  growth      stock held by growth portfolios, you're going to have more volatility,  just like all      the other companies that fit into that category.
Throughout the market,      technology stocks quite often go up or down not just $3-$4 a whack, but  often      $10-$12-$15 a whack.
What I tell Mark Koenig is I love that volatility  on the      upside, but I hate it on the down side.
We've had a change in the ownership of our stock.
Increasingly, it's  being      bought by the growth portfolio managers, and increasingly it's being  sold by      the value and other portfolio managers that picked it up at much lower      valuations, and now at these values they want to take their money and  put it      back into lower P/E stocks.
I know this makes everybody a little  nervous, but      this is probably the world we're in now.
I'd rather be in this world  with a 50 P/E      than the more stable world with a 20 P/E.

Subject: Golfing with Jesus

Moses, Jesus and an old man are golfing.
Moses steps up to the tee and hits the ball.
It goes sailing over the fairway and lands in a water trap.
Moses walks down, parts the water and chips the ball onto the green.
Jesus steps up to the tee and hits the ball.
It goes sailing over the fairway and lands in the water trap.
Jesus just walks on the water and chips the ball onto the green.
The old man steps up to the tee and hits the ball.
It goes sailing over the fairway and heads for the water trap.
But just before it  falls into the water, a fish jumps up and grabs the ball in its mouth.
As the fish is falling back down into the water, an eagle swoops down  and grabs the fish in its claws.
The eagle flies over the green, where  a lightning bolt shoots from the sky and barely misses it.
Startled,  the eagle drops the fish.
When the fish hits the ground, the ball  pops out of its mouth and rolls into the hole for a hole-in-one.
Jesus turns to the old man and says, "Dad, if you don't stop fooling around, we won't bring you next time."
Subject: EOL Credit Derivatives - Long Descriptions

Edmund -   I have reviewed the long descriptions I was given for the credit derivatives  (I can't tell if they are current) and have substantial comments - I have  attached what I have come up with (sorry it's in 2 pieces).
Basically I  don't think we should be restating something in the Long Description that is  already covered (sometimes with different language) in the GTC - this only  creates an ambiguity and is not necessary to form a complete contract.
My  other concern - and I have not been able to draft language to fix it - is  that I can't find any definition of the Seller Payment amount and I don't  think the Buyer Payment language works  -  can you give me a call so we can  discuss my concerns?
Subject: Duke confidentiality query

Subject: EnronOnline Counterparty Approval Process

David:  Tana and I would like to talk with you to set up the counterparty approval  process for EnronOnline regarding Australian counterparties (trading  Australian and other products) and Australian products being traded by  non-Australian counterparties.
The EnronOnline people are anxious that Tana  be designated their liaison and we need to figure out what she can do and  what you (or someone else in Australia) need to do as part of this process  going forward.
Any chance you might be available for a telephone  conversation about this at 9:00 am your time (5:00 pm Houston time) today?

Subject: Further Koch change

I realized after I had sent the Koch confirmation to you (but before I faxed  it to Koch) that I might have given too much away by using the Effective Date  as the Buyer Payment Date.
In the version I send to Koch I will change that  to Trade Date.
You can always change it to a later date if you want to  tomorrow.

Subject: Hi!

Hi Dave:  Thanks for your note!
It's hard to believe that Washington House was over  twenty years ago now.
I left DC at the end of that summer and went to law  school in Michigan.
My first job after graduating was for a law firm in  Houston.
They opened a New York office in the mid 80's and I went there to  help out.
The office wasn't successful but I loved living in New York so I  moved to another firm there and stayed for almost 8 years total.
One of  those years was spent working in Asia - primarily Indonesia and Hong Kong.
I've now moved back to Houston where I am a lawyer with Enron - a large  energy company - and focus on derivatives and online trading legal issues.
We have offices in several countries around the world which I get to visit  periodically.
I'm actually writing this from Buenos Aires where I'm helping  them get some products ready to trade online.
I get back to Washington a  couple of times a year to do some lobbying for the company and may actually  have been there when you were in town - I think I was there the 11th & 12th.
I've stayed in touch with Doc Kieft and Mark Kopinski and get back to M.C.
from time to time.
Mark lives in New York where he manages a couple of  international mutual funds for American Century.
I was on the Alumni Board  for a few years so got back for their meetings at Homecoming and got to see  the people who came back - unfortunately I haven't really stayed in touch  very well.
There have been a number of changes to the campus since our time  so you may be surprised if you haven't been back for a while - of course  Woodbine is gone, there's a new theater, a big addition to the gym and  several major interior renovations.
And I understand there are big plans for  more - they are going to close Sixth Street, tear down Gibson and expand the  campus a block to the west with at least one new dorm, a big expansion to the  sports facilities (indoor track, pool, etc.)
and a redesign of the library.
Enrollment is up above 1000.
Congratulations on your successful career - who would have thought when we  got out of school so many years ago that Monmouth grads could do this well!
There are doctors, bankers, chemists and lawyers everywhere you look.
I  guess we really did learn something while we were there.
Let me know if you ever get to Texas.
It would be fun to get together and  catch up.

Subject: El Paso Natural Gas Company Dockets RP00-336, RP01-484, RP01-486, 	 RP00-139

Salt River Project, in an effort to bring resolution to the mainline and receipt point allocation issues pending in the above-captioned proceedings, is filing today (and serving hard copies of) the attached "Motion of SRP for Adoption of Strawman Alternative to March 28, 2000 Proposal of El Paso Natural Gas Company".
Unlike any other proposal before it, it seeks to weave into one workable solution, the concerns raised by shippers in their initial and reply comments filed in the Order 637 proceeding, as well as address the 3 complaints.
It is a share-the-pain proposal among CD - Converted FR - and El Paso.
Under it, FR shippers would convert to CDs at levels reflecting actual usage over the past 5 years, weighted to the present.
It assures each westward flowing firm shipper, based on the current physical mainline capacity (including L. 2000), 93.1%(winter) and 94.2% (summer) of their contractual entitlement.
On a daily basis, all westward FT shippers are assured of receiving approximately 60% of their 93.1 and 94.2% allocation from the San Juan.
FT-2 shippers would continue to be served off the top.
This Strawman adopts the in-line pooling methodology set forth in SoCal Gas' initial comments.
It includes North and South system segmentation rights, and narrowly defined demand charge credits for unprovided capacity as long as there is a shortfall.
Provision is made to encourage turn-back of capacity and to have capacity under expired contracts dedicated by El Paso to meeting the approximately 7% shortfall.
Provision is also made to treat each primary delivery point as a receipt point, and to give priority to Alternate Receipt- to- Primary Delivery point in the systemwide scheduling process, all intended to encourage a strong supplemental market to meet peak seasonal needs.
Subject: Addition of OXY point to Enron online

Janie  As we discussed, we would like you to consider adding the OXY point for Elk Hills deliveries into SOCAL at the Gosford intertie to the "NGI Socal/PG&E KRS" physical point.
If you look on SOCAL's System Operations report our deliveries are listed as "Elk Hills - Gosford Intertie".
Our flows on this pipeline typically range from 80MM to 165MM/day.
Our gas from  this point interconnects with the PG&E Kern River station gas that then is delivered through Wheeler Ridge into SOCAL.
Separately we would also be very interested in an SOCAL In state Production point on Enron OnLine.

Subject: LADWP Gas Contract

Dear Potential Gas Supplier  As some of you may know our authority to buy gas off our existing spot agreement will come to an end on December 31, 2001.
While we will honor current commitments for gas to be delivered after that date, but we will not be able to use the spot agreement to buy any more gas.
The reason that this is happening is that our City Attorney has interpreted the new City Charter as not allowing delegations of authority such as employed in the way we buy gas now.
We are seeking approval for an ordinance which must be approved by the City Council that will restore our former ability to buy gas with the kind of agreement most gas suppliers are familiar.
We have the ordinance approved by the City Attorney and it will shortly be in the pipeline for approval by our Board and the City Council, but until then, this contract is a stop gap to keep us operating.
I've attached the new contract and a cover letter which explains what we are doing.
The deadline is November 8, 2001 at 4:00 PM.
We will take the executed contracts to our Board with the counterparties listed on a Board Resolution and, if it is approved, we will be allowed to buy gas from this group after the new year begins.
This is not the ideal contract but one we feel our Board will be comfortable with until we can get around the Charter problem.
I can't make any changes to this contract.
There is a notice published in the LA Times about the availability of the contract but I am sending it to you directly as someone we have already done business with (and undoubtedly have satisfied all our boilerplate requirements) and will probably be interested in what we are trying to do here.
I Hope most of you will respond.
Thanks  (See attached file: Spot Gas Cover Letter.doc)(See attached file: New Spot Gas Contract.doc)   - Spot Gas Cover Letter.doc   - New Spot Gas Contract.doc
