Subject: Ernst & Young

A friend of mine, Jim McCloskey, a Director at Ernst & Young, mentioned to me that one of his partners and former Vice Chairman of E&Y, Bob Herdman, was recently named Chief Accountant to the SEC and asked whether E&Y could be of any assistance with respect to the present SEC inquiry.
I told Jim that I would convey his request to the appropriate personnel.
If you or any one wanted to discuss this matter further with Jim he can be reached at 713-750-8206.
I do know that Jim had met with Jeff Skilling earlier this year to talk about opportunities in E&Y working with Enron and I think he has another meeting scheduled  in November with Rick Causey and others for a follow up presentation, all unrelated to the SEC inquiry.

Subject: Azurix's Case Themes

I'm attaching a copy of Azurix's Request for Arbitration with ICSID in Washington relating to Azurix Buenos Aires.
The claim should be formally registered (i.e., cleared as valid for jurisdicitional purposes) today or early next week.
King and Spalding put together a summary of the various themes to emphasize in the arbitration.
Much of it is quotations from provincial officials, in official reports or to the press, demonstrating the political nature of the Province's decisions.
This should give you a flavor of our case.

Subject: Nov. 2 Mtg of Exec Comm of Inst for Law & Tech

Dear Mr. Derrick:  	Thank you for including me in this venture.
It promises to be fun and useful.
Unfortunately, in terms of the November 2nd meeting, a faculty candidate I'm primarily responsible for is coming through the law school the same day.
He is giving a colloquium late morning/early afternoon and my wife and I are hosting the dinner for him and his wife that evening.
So, especially given the post-9/11 logistics, it doesn't seem practical for me to come to Dallas for this meeting.
One possibility might be for me to participate by phone for a portion of the afternoon meeting and I would be happy to do so.
But given the nature and length of the meeting, this probably doesn't make sense - please let me know what you think.
Best regards.

Subject: TI-USA Private Sector Luncheon Briefing

Hold the Date: November 28, 2001  Place:  Institute for International Economics 1750 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC  Speakers:  Under Secretary of State Alan Larson Under Secretary of Commerce Grant Aldonas  IIE Director Fred Bergsten TI Chairman Peter Eigen  Transparency International USA is pleased to invite you to a Private Sector Luncheon Briefing on November 28, 2001, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Washington, DC.
Our speakers from the Administration will be Under Secretary of State Alan Larson and Under Secretary of Commerce Grant Aldonas.
IIE Director Fred Bergsten has generously offered to host this event and will share his views on the continuing importance of the fight against corruption.
TI Chairman Peter Eigen will bring participants up to date on the growth of the TI global network.
TI is playing a key role in the monitoring process designed to assure enforcement of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.
With the economic downturn, effective enforcement is now even more critical to dissuade those who would use bribes to secure business.
With US attention turned to mounting a global coalition to address the terrorist attacks of September 11, we must redouble our efforts to ensure that the Administration and the Hill provide adequate political and financial resources for the anti-corruption agenda.
The private sector must continue to play a central role in this effort.
This timely and important meeting will provide a forum for the private sector to share its views with policy makers.
We will also devote time to a frank and informal discussion of TI-USA priorities and how to meet the challenges ahead.
Please let us know if you plan to join us.
Subject: support for Xcelerator

James  Given Whalley's promotion, it looks like the Xcelerator will remain under Corporate, rather than moving to EWS as expected when we last spoke.
Given that change, would you like for me to continue to request support from Mark Haedicke's group or is there someone in the corporate area you'd rather I approach.
Whatever route you suggest is fine with me.
Most pressingly, I'd like to discuss our ability to compete with a company with which we've been in discussions -- if possible by the latter part of the week.

Subject: Enron Corp. interests

Jim,   as I mentioned to you earlier we are forging ahead with the Enron Corp. interests project in Europe.
We commenced our work based on discussions with Jim Fallon, Ray Bowen and others about a week ago and plan to pay the employees with funds currently held by EEFT.
I expect to receive tomorrow a formalized structure for the teams, again organized around EEFT.
As I understand it, however, this proposal will not address any retention bonuses for the teams because this issue is still under discussion.
I have been told that there is hesitancy on the part of some in Houston to provide for such payments but I do not know the reason for that hesitancy.
May I suggest that it would be entirely appropriate to provide for retention payments in this case.
As I have mentioned, part of this project is to recover value from existing contracts in entities such as ECTRIC, which value is estimated in the aggregate to be $150 to 200 million.
Another aspect of the Corp. interest project is to properly wind up entities so as to recover value and minimize director liabilities.
A proposal was made that a percentage of the recovered value would be put into a bonus pool and shared among all of the team members, whether those individuals had focused on recovery of funds or minimizing liabilities.
I am told that this proposal was rejected in a conference call held today.
I am very concerned about our ability to keep people working on this project without some additional incentive.
The project is extremely difficult and many people, in particular the traders who are in a position to protect value in ECTRIC, have other job options.
In addition, the employees on the team are aware that many individuals who are working on PWC teams are receiving retention payments.
If the team to protect the ECTRIC interests is not retained in the short term, ECTRIC is scheduled to be put into administration on January 4, resulting in termination of many of its in-the-money contracts and a loss of an estimated 50% of its value.
Jim, if you are inclined to support retention payments to help us maintain this effort going forward, will you please communicate that fact to Jim Fallon, Jeff McMahon and Ray Bowen tomorrow, as it is likely we will begin to lose people after Christmas.
Thank you.

Subject: Visit to Houston

Dear Jim:  I am planning to be in Houston later this month when two of my Moscow-based partners, Bruce Bean and Ivan Marisin, will be speaking there at a Production Sharing conference.
Once being in Houston, I would very much like to pay you a visit, remembering the invitatiuon you kindly extended to me when visiting our offices a couple of years ago.
Of course, I would also like to introduce to you Bruce and Ivan, both of whom do work in the energy field and in other areas Enron is active in.
We expect to arrive in Houston in the afternoon of Tuesday May 29 and depart in the afternoon of Thursday May 31.
It would be great if you we were to have some time for us, and I would appreciate it very much if you could send me a brief email and let me know whether a meeting with you might work out.
Independently, I will also try to contact Mark Haedicke so as to see whether I could se him again, too.
With best regards

Subject: In re F&J Representation

By telefax of November 21, Uriel Dutton of F&J provided a proposed waiver letter agreement for our review.

At present,  I am not sending this e-mail to Mariner's GC.
If there is someone else I need to send this e-mail to, please let me know.
Chuck and I have reviewed the letter, believe it to be overly broad, and hope that F&J is willing to negotiate further, along the following lines:  	1.
On page 1, third full paragraph, second line, we suggest inserting "Enron Corp. and " between "representation of" and "Enron's affiliates".
Subject: Office Space

Hello Jim, I just want to keep you up on the situation with  our office spaces in Jones Hall.
The Civic Center will be going to City Council  this week to ask for monies to rebuild the SPA and Symphony offices, and the  rehearsal hall, music library, instrument storage, etc.
If approved, I'm  told the City will allow us to have the offices rebuilt by the contractor of our  choice.
We will want the contractor who originally built our offices 6 or  7 years ago.
However, the rebuild will take between 10 and 12 weeks.
That  means we will not return to offices until, say, end of February, assuming some  work will be accomplished in December.
We told Enron that we should return to Jones Hall  by the end of this year; obviously that won't happen.
Of course, we would want  to remain in our present offices on the 37th floor of Three Allen Center until  the end of February.
But, is this possible?
Do you have any idea  what might happen to your space here, and whether we can remain?
Shall we  remain quiet, hoping nobody notices us?
Let me know, please, if there is  anything I can do to remain in these offices.
Thanks

Subject: In re F&J Representation

Bob and I just spoke with Steve Susman.
I tried to mention the points you asked.
Here are his comments:  	1.
F&J probably could not simply send us our files back and put itself in a position to be adverse to us with Arthur Anderson.
Susman believes that there is a "hot potato" rule that prevents F&J from doing so.
2.
That being said, Susman doesn't care if F&J represents Arthur Anderson or anyone else potentially adverse to us in the actions he is handling.
3.
Susman would not, however, agree to a broad advance ethical waiver, as proposed by F&J.
He does not believe such waivers are effective.
Susman would agree to a waiver once we were advised who F&J wanted to represent.
I don't know whether F&J would agree to this or not.
4.
Susman recognizes that we cannot force F&J to take on the new Mariner matter, and that this is ultimately a risk/benefit decision for us to make, and that we may have to agree to terms that we otherwise wouldn't agree to.
Parenthetically, I have received no comments on F&J's proposed waiver letter.
Under the circumstances, from his standpoint, Bob is inclined for us to get the best deal on the waiver letter that we can with F&J, but that if F&J won't budge, that we take something along the lines of what they have given us (Bob, let me know if I have mischaracterized your thoughts).
From my standpoint, I unfortunately think there are some parts of the letter that we must have changed.
This would be to the extent that the letter purports to have Enron Corp. agree to bind all the Enron entities, and to the extent that it involves Enron's agreement to what will happen after the Dynegy merger (as I set out in my earlier e-mail).
My recommendation would be, as set forth in my earlier e-mail, that only the Enron entities currently being represented by F&J sign it and be bound by it, and to remove the language regarding what Enron would agree to after the Dynegy merger.
I also find the advance ethical waiver language repugnant, but could agree to it if the other modifications mentioned could be made.
I do not know whether F&J would be willing to make these changes or not.
Our biggest problem right now is time-management.
I know that Mariner wanted to make a decision by today as to who to use.
I am willing to confer with Dutton ASAP to see what F&J would agree to, and if he can agree in principle, to send him a proposed draft agreement.
I believe he is out of the office but is checking his voice-mail.
Please let me know what you want me to do.
Britt
