Subject: Rescheduled -- Management Conference

Ken, Greg and Mark,  I wanted to provide you a suggested agenda for the rescheduled Management Conference.
After working with Joannie Williamson to coordinate open dates on your calendars with hotel availability, here is what we are proposing:  Location:   Westin La Cantera Resort, San Antonio (The Woodlands still will not have enough rooms to hold our group in February.
We are concerned that if we don't have people committed to stay over, especially on a weekend, we risk weak participation.
Also, by rebooking with the Starwood property, we hope to potentially recoup some of the loss incurred by canceling our November date and maintain a positive relationship with the company.)
Dates:   Friday, February 22 and Saturday, February 23 (We received feedback that employees may not appreciate being asked to sacrifice a weekend right now.
However, these are the dates that the hotel is available.
Available dates the previous week would interfere with Valentines Day and coincide with the peak of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.)
Agenda:	  DAY 1		Friday, February 22  2pm - 5pm	Registration  6pm - 9pm	Reception and Chairman's Dinner 		Speaker:  General Norman Schwarzkopf  (The General is currently available on this date, but has not accepted the engagement.
I feel that, if we can 		reschedule him, he would be a significant draw to ensure people arrive in time for the evening activities.)
DAY 2		Saturday, February 23  8am - 2pm	Business Agenda  (I will keep Ken and the brief business unit presentations/panel on the agenda.
I also hope to reschedule Gary Hamel.
Otherwise, I will		remain flexible on the agenda.)
2pm		Meeting Adjourns  		No planned activities  (The activities are perceived as an unnecessary extravagance at this time.)
We'd like to issue a memo about postponing the Management Conference to invitees as soon as possible.
While details on the agenda can be resolved later, please let me know if you are comfortable with the dates and location so we can include that information in the memo.
Regards,
Subject: The issue nears

Finally we're forging ahead.
We plan on publishing our much-delayed and much-changed Aspen special issue in two weeks.
We're really excited.
We're focusing now on the issue of globalization in the post-September 11 world.
All of your contributions in Aspen aided us immensely.
The issue is going to be an unusual print-online package.
In addition to articles in the magazine that relate in various ways to the Aspen meeting, we will be posting significant additional material online.
For those of you who answered our three questions prior to the meeting, we will be publishing all of those--in full--on Fortune.com.
But we also want to hear from you
Subject: Our Wonderful Company

Dear Mr. Lay,  I know that you are a very busy man and really don't have time to read messages from your employees, but I just had to write you of my thought and feelings.
I haven't been sleeping very well because I am heartbroken at what is happening to this wonderful company.
I really try to be positive about the outcome of it all, but the news seem to get worse and worse.
I am so worried about all of the lives that are being affected and what it's going to mean to all of us in the coming months.
Also, as someone who only has a few years left before retirement, I am faced with the possibility that I will not have any supplemental retirement to help me live in a decent environment.
I love Enron and all that it has made it great and will continue to work hard to make a contribution to its success.
However, I realize that it ultimately is up to you and your team to successfully resolve all the issues facing our company.
I have the faith that you can do that.
Mr. Lay, please allow me to be bold and ask you to  remember that "God is Always in Control" and he will help if only we ask him to.
Thank you so much for your time.

Subject: United Way of America's New President and CEO

Hello Members, We received the following information from United Way of America on yesterday, and wanted to share!
United Way Leaders,  United Way of America's (UWA's) Board of Governors met this afternoon to consider the Executive Search Committee's recommendation regarding UWA's next President and CEO.
It is with great pleasure that I report that we have unanimously named Brian A. Gallagher, currently President of United Way of Central Ohio in Columbus, Ohio, as our new President and CEO of UWA.
Brian is a well-known and highly respected leader.
To formally introduce you to Brian in his new role, I am convening a series of conference calls tomorrow, Tuesday, November 6, 2001, in advance of the announcement to the media and press.
We anticipate a large volume of participants on these calls, so we ask that you call during your region's assigned time and 15 minutes in advance of the call.
Additionally, we ask that you coordinate a single conference call from your United Way such that all volunteers and staff from your community can participate on one line.
Your cooperation will make it possible for the maximum number of your colleagues from across the country to participate on these important calls.
Please note the regional conference call assignments:   Mid-America Region:  10:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time Dial (800) 310-8725 and ask to be connected to the United Way call moderated by Ellie Ferdon  Southeast and Western Regions:  11:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time Dial (800) 566-2250 and ask to be connected to the United Way call moderated by Ellie Ferdon  Northeast and South Central Regions:  12:00 noon, Eastern Standard Time Dial (800) 310-8725 and ask to be connected to the United Way call moderated by Ellie Ferdon
Subject: REDUNDANCY

In some areas of ENE 2 people are doing the work 1/2 person could do.
Is this magnified throughout ENE as numerous people in other departments have claimed?
Shouldn't we be reassessing our manpower needs  on a broader basis to cover the real needs?
This would result in a reduction of manpower, but employees without real jobs to do have low moral which adversely impacts the whole company.
The ultimate result would be a stronger company both financially & professionally.
Subject: Yale Dinner for William McDonough, November 27, 2001

Dear Ken,  As promised, here is some background for our off-the-record dinner discussion on November 27 that the Yale School of Management is having to honor Bill McDonough.
The evening will begin with my presenting Yale's award to Bill McDonough.
Bill will then make some personal remarks about the state of globalization as he sees it.
Gordon Brown will then respond.

Subject: Sophia

I do not know if this email will find your eyes or not....
I just wanted to tell you, as a shareholder,   since we are in a difficult time period,   to PLEASE continue to keep your chin-up,   and look at this "storm" as a time   to be strong and use your courage to make the tough   decisions to keep Enron afloat...and utilizing   all your strength and prayers...you will   be able to lead ENRON to safe harbors once again.
Do not let the negative media effect you, please    keep pushing forward, and you will be successful.
This adversity will prepare you and strengthen    you for the "perfect storm" we will run into    throughout our existence...
Thanks for listening...     PS Back in during the Econmic Summit here in       Houston, you met my daughter Sophia, and she       wrote to you, and you took the time to write       her back about 11 years old...       well now she is 21 and a       major in PR/Communications at BYU in Provo, UT,       and on November 20th at 3:00 PM she has decided       to marry to Jacob Little in Utah..
Subject: our discussion today

Ken -    I appreciate the time today.
We look  forward to working with Enron, if the opportunity presents itself.
Atlas  can assist in structuring and raising substantial new equity - we already have  $150mm (subject to due diligence and terms and conditions) that has been "soft  circled".
Please feel free to call me at any time.
Subject: as a follow-up

Ken -    As a follow-up, we realize there has been  tremendous downward pressure on the stock recently and as a result selling new  equity at these levels could be very dilutive.
We can structure an equity  financing that is a premium to today's prices.
I would welcome the chance  to discuss this with you.

Subject: Dabhol Washington Update

Here is an update on the state of play in Washington regarding Dabhol as the Indian PM arrives this evening:  	As it became apparent last week that the discussions in Delhi about the MOU were not panning out, I met with OPIC President Watson and Exec VP Connelly to bring them up to speed on the status of discussions and map out the message to be given by the Administration to the PM on his visit this week.
While OPIC certainly does not have final say re the message on Dabhol they are clearly the driver within the USG and they have been very aggressive in that regard.
Out of our meeting Watson sent to State and the NSC a message with the following two points: 	1.  the Project sponsors, the $ lenders, and OPIC and EXIM are of one mind that the negotiating time frame on Dabhol is approaching its end.
If India does not act immediately it will be too late.
2.
The President and this Administration needs to express its strong disappointment at the failure of the GOI to make an effort to engage on the Buyout, which needs to be negotiated within a particular $ range, subject to a simultaneous negotiation with the $ lenders.
The OPIC memo was sent to State and the NSC and is now embodied in talking points for President Bush in his Friday meeting with the PM.
For the last week plus I have provided daily updates to OPIC, to Larson's office at State, to the South Asia regional group and to the NSC so they know of any new developments and where we are.
Yesterday afternoon I  met with OPIC on the lawsuit and how that might change the talking points.
At this point, President Bush will raise Dabhol in his meeting with the PM Friday.
The Indian Ambassador met with the NSC yesterday to discuss the agenda and was briefed on the MOU going in.
It is being considered that Larry Lindsey will discuss Dabhol in greater detail, probably with Mishra.
There was some concern about prior relationship to Enron but I understand from State the lawyers have taken care of the concern.
Larson is in Doha but is current on the situation and can engage if necessary.
It is unfortunate he is out of town.
Amb.
Blackwill had dinner last night with Watson and Connelly of OPIC and claims he is on top of the issue.
Last, but certainly not least, we have a meeting with the PMO Secretary Ghash (?)
at 4:30 Thursday at the Indian Embassy.
I do not know if we have firmly decided yet who should attend.
If Jim is out as I understand he is perhaps Rob Walls and I can attend.
This meeting should give us an opportunity to respond in the Washington context to the proposal that I understand is in the offing in Singapore.
We will then be in a position to feed that information back into the USG so that the President's meeting with the PM reflects the current state of discussions.
Subject: Summer 2002

Just a quick note to let you know that if your considering a charter next summer, we are already working on quite a few.
I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that next summer will see the arrival of plenty of new choices, some new and some new to the charter world.
If you have any dates in mind drop me a line.

Subject: concerned shareholder  (lay it on the line)

Dear Mr Lay,  I'm not sure if you remember, but I am the one who came up with the Lay it on the Line slogan.
I am no longer with the company and am currently with General Electric.
Regardless, I still have a stake in Enron.
Besides everything that is going on that we can all read in the press, what concerns me is it seems that some current leaders still don't care.
I was infuriated to learn that Enron (EES in particular) still rented a corporate house on the golf course for the tour championship in Houston and was seen grilling steaks, lobsters and having a great time.
I wouldn't consider it entertaining clients if Managing Directors such as Dan Leff were there with thier kids (rumor has it).
That is a completely irresponsible waste of what little money is left in the company and it shows the arrogance that Enron is perceived to have.
People should be fired for this.
I would hope that Christmas parties, bonues etc will be scaled down this year and to at least make some sort of effort to slash costs and get the company back on track.
I have faith in you as a leader and I hope for a turnaround.
Thank you.

Subject: Former Enron Employee

Mr. Lay, I worked for ENRON from 5/97 until 5/01 and I just want to say that I am so sorry that all of this is coming down on 'our Company'.
I have worked for two companies that I feel are the strongest in their sector, Bechtel and Enron.
Both Companies have back-bone and care about their employees.
Please pull Enron through this economically trying time.
Things look tough but sometimes when the tough times hit - we have to hit back.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you try to do the best for Enron, the Company and the people that are still there backing you.
Sincerely,
Subject: Concerns With the Current Stock Price

Hi Ken,  You have always told us that we can email at any time with comments or questions.
Employees are really getting worried about what's happened with our stock price.
It's not looking too good.
I know you and upper management are working hard to sort this out.
Please let us know what is really going on.
Rumors are flying about layoffs, bankruptcy, and takeovers.
All of our lives are affected.
People are trying to hang in here, but the future is too uncertain.
We are wondering whether to stay or bail out.
We need more answers.
Another comment which is constantly being made is that, "It is not encouraging when we don't see upper management buying shares at these historically low prices".
Any comments?
Thanks,

Subject: ENRON SITUATION

Mr. Lay,   I have been with Enron for 33 years.
I have found these years to have been interesting, to say the least, and have seen many changes during this time.
I am proud to be part of an aggressive, growing company.
And I have always had a high regard for the people driving the company.
I am now 60 years of age and I have been contemplating retirement and "pursuing other interests" as they say, with my remaining years.
Imagine my despair at the state of affairs Enron has fallen to through what appears to be gross mismanagement.
What was once envisioned as "those comfortable golden years" are now simply smoke.
And after giving many of my years to this company it is devastating.
It is hard for me to understand how this could happen without the knowledge of those of you at the head of the company, in my mind it was a "look the other way" situation without concern for anyone but yourselves and all that money for the fancy house, fancy cars, travel, etc.
I will never understand everything that took place and why.
I am certainly not alone in these feelings.
But I would hope that Jeff Skilling, Andy Fastow and others involved in this travesty have as much trouble sleeping at night as I do.

Subject: Fund raiser for Enron

Dear Mr. Lay,  My manager and I were discussing the possibility of doing a fund raiser for Enron.
We contributed an absorbant amount of money to charities this year and last, would it not be possible to raise money to help our company.
Do a little belt tightening.
We could do without the Christmas party, do without our bonuses and next year at this time, when we are back on top, it would be a sweeter glory knowing that the employees helped turn everything around.
I have spoken with my HR rep and several other employees about this possibility and we feel that we would be able to raise a substantial amount of money.
Please let me know what your view on this would be and we will work on what steps we need to take to make it happen.
Thank you for your time.
