Subject: Turkish industrialist Nuri Coalkoglu

Ken  I understand a Turkish industrialist named Nuri ?olakoglu has been in contact with you through Bill Miller and possibly Jerry Giest.
Colakoglu is an extremely wealthy and well regarded Turkish industrialist who has aggressively expanded into the Turkish energy sector.
We have had a number of meetings with Colakoglu over the years and although we appreciate his potential prospects for the future we do not see a win-win opporutnity with his organization at this time.
We expect he may try and contact you so wanted to let you know in advnace the background on his proposal.
Colakoglu has proposed that, in order to manage our Trakya payment issue, Enron utilize the Arcos turbines to build, on balance sheet, a 1200 MW power plant at the tailgate of his recently completed specualtive LNG regas facility in Turkey.
The plant would be part of a comprehensive proposal to the Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources to reduce the prices at Trakya, in exchange for an agreement by TETTA?
(the new Turkish power trading company resulting from the split up of TEA?, the former electricity monopoly) to purchase power from the new facility.
All three plants would be fuelled by LNG provided by Enron and tolled through the Colakoglu's regas facility.
In essence, Nuri wants us to build a power station as soon as possible to use the capacity at his LNG terminal which is now idle and has the potential to be a white elephant.
Our team has explained to Colakoglu  that they thought the fact that the proposal relied totally on TETTA?
's credit was fatal, but that they would discuss it with EEL management.
Lloyd Wantschek has responded to Colakoglu in the attached letter (we have highlighted the relevant portion for your information).

Subject: Quick update:  status of the Xcelerator

Ken,  As you'll recall, during the September 10th advisory board meeting, we discussed the need for strong, senior-level support to ensure an opportunity for Xcelerator's success.
At the conclusion of the meeting, we agreed you and Greg Whalley would discuss the support level with the Management Committee on the 13th.
Of course, the sad events of the 11th understandably delayed that timeline.
Since September 10th, I've revisited the Xcelerator with several members of the Management Committee including Louise Kitchen, John Lovorato, Jim Fallon, John Sheriff, and Andy Fastow.
In summary, they are supportive contingent on support from you and Greg.
Additionally, other Xcelerator board members are supportive - specifically Jeff Donahue and Kevin Garland - but all agree the sincere support from you and Greg will be necessary for success.
Greg Whalley and I have also discussed the Xcelerator on two occasions.
Greg is concerned that I will be unable to attract good talent from within Enron to this "risky" initiative, especially given the trajectory of the economy and scarcity of new jobs within the company.
I agree with him.
Greg asked if I would try the Xcelerator understanding that most if not all of the full-time team members would need to be hired from the outside.
Although not optimal, I think it is doable and told him I'd be willing to proceed under those circumstances.
While Greg was quite supportive, he was appropriately distracted by the upcoming board meeting and close of the quarter.
As a result, he and I are planning on discussing the future of the Xcelerator this Tuesday.
(Of course, the earnings announcement may delay that discussion to next week.)
As I mentioned in the Xcelerator's board meeting, I am excited about this opportunity and am committed to giving it my all, with the support of the senior team.
This effort could create tremendous value for Enron.
However, I have no delusions about how difficult it will be and the patience it will require.
If we are successful over '02, we will definitely create value for our shareholders, but are almost certain to be a drag on earnings -- albeit a small one.
If you and Greg are not able to be supportive, then let's acknowledge that and discontinue the Xcelerator's operations.
As we discussed on the 10th, lukewarm senior support will not be sufficient for success.

Subject: Partnership Information to Bernstein

Ken, Beau and I would like to share the family partnership and investment information with Bernstein to get their Family Wealth group up to speed.
We think they can provide a perspective on diversification and they will do it at no cost and without an established relationship, unlike most of the investment banks.
Painewebber needs your permission to release the information.
Would you please send Rocky a letter authorizing Beau or me to release this information to third parties so we can move forward?
Thanks, Mark
Subject: Moody's and Standard & Poor's

Two conference calls have been tenatively scheduled to allow you to directly discuss Enron's commitment to its credit ratings with senior managers at Standard & Poor's and Moody's (Ben Glisan will join you in your office at the times detailed below).
Both agencies have been briefed on the contents of next week's earnings release as well as the pending equity adjustment associated with the Raptor transactions.
On Monday, our analysts at both agencies will be briefing their rating committees on the Enron announcement.
They will then contact us with their official rating decision.
Andy, Ben and I feel that a proactive call from you today will positively impact the message our analysts deliver to their committees.
Based upon the discussions with the analysts held over the last two days it is apparent that several key assurances from Enron senior management are sought.
They are as follows:  Enron is Committed to Maintaining its Credit Ratings - emphasize that the ratings are critical to the fundamental businesses which drive our success, gas and power marketing.
Note that both our counterparties and creditors place great weight on our consistent rating profile.
Due to this, the agencies should be confident that we will aggressively defend the ratings.
Our Core Businesses are Strong - We are the leading franchise in energy marketing.
We anticipate continued strength in the financial performance from the commodity groups.
No charges to be taken are associated with our ongoing businesses.
Portland General and Other Asset Sales will Occur - Proceeds from these divestitures are material and will be applied first to allow us to get our leverage statistics back in line quickly.
Reemphasize Your Commitment To Simplifying Financial Reporting - The analysts have given considerable consideration to you public statements associated with providing more detailed information to the financial community regarding our performance.
Acknowledge Remaining Issues Facing the Company - The agencies are following the developments on Dhabol, the valuation of the EBS fiber optic network, and the ongoing Azurix/Wessex performance.
Provide comfort that we believe the ultimate resolution of these items will not have a material adverse impact on our credit.
If you have any questions or comments, Ben will join you 15 minutes prior to the first call.
Regards,
Subject: World Economic Forum, Energy Governors Meeting

Dear Jenny,  I refer to our phone conversation of today 12.10.01.
As Dr Lay has registered for our Energy Governors Meeting in Davos I sent him an invitation to the Preparatory Meeting.
The purpose of the Preparatory Meeting is to brainstorm on possible topics and discussion leaders for the programme of the Governors Meeting for Energy which will take place from 3 to 5 February 2002, and to identify the latest trends in the industry.
In order to prepare a successful Governors Meeting, the issue selection is primordial.
I am pleased that among the first confirmations for the Preparatory Meeting we received confirmations from ABB Ltd, ENI SPA, Royal Dutch/Shell, Statoil Group, Ruhrgas, EDF, Duke Energy Corporation, Engen Petroleum Ltd, Gaz de France, some of which will be represented by their top-executives.
As it is impossible for Dr Lay to participate at the Preparatory Meeting, we would be most grateful if you could nominate a delegate as well as send us his preliminary ideas on interesting issues and panellists for the programme.
Of course, I am fully aware what a long way it is to go for a one-day meeting from Houston to Geneva.
This Preparatory Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 6 November from 08.30 to 16.00 and will be held at World Economic Forum Headquarters in Cologny.
We would also like to invite this person to an informal dinner on the previous evening, Monday 5 November at 19.30, at the Hotel Beau-Rivage in Geneva (13 quai du Mont-Blanc, 1201 Geneva, Tel.
41 22/716 6666).
Please find enclosed some suggested topics for your consideration.
(See attached file: issues.doc)  Should you have any questions concerning the Governors Meeting, please do not hesitate to contact me any time.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,

Current Policy Issues in Securities Regulation  Wednesday, May 30, 2001, 9:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Wohlstetter Conference Center, Twelfth Floor, AEI 1150 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
The basic structure for the public distribution of securities in the United States-which places limits on a company's communications before a final prospectus is available-was adopted almost seventy years ago, before the revolution in electronic communications and the advent of the Internet.
The capital markets are globalized for institutions trading privately, but the access of U.S. residents to foreign securities is still restricted in various ways.
The SEC's recent Regulation FD ("Fair Disclosure"), which requires companies to disseminate material information to the public at the same time the information is distributed to selected groups, may diminish the role of analysts as information intermediaries.
Does the communications revolution require changes in the securities distribution process?
Is there a responsible way to create truly globalized securities markets?
Is Regulation FD soundly based in policy or academic work?
This conference, sponsored jointly with the Securities Industry Association, will address these and other questions.

Subject: possible reference

Sorry to have missed you at the investor presentation last week, if you or beau want any of the slides please let me know and we will forward them.
Now that our venture activity is defined and stable, we are starting to look at phase two of genesis park's evolution, which includes advisory services.
As you can imagine, we see a lot of deal flow that isn't a good fit for the fund, but we feel that we could assist on a fee basis.
To that end, we have an interest in identifying an impact player from the investment banking world who can drive that aspect of our business.
Ideal profile would be new york experience with a background that included both energy and IT.
Given the turmoil in the markets, we are asking a few of our investors if they know of anyone with those characteristics that either is in houston already or has a significant tie to the community.
Thanks, and i trust you know that we would be pleased to help enron in any way if there is a need to rationalize any business lines that now seem non-strategic.
Subject: concern

Mr. Lay,  I am writing to you this afternoon because I am concerned for the safety of me and my coworkers here at Enron.
In light of the recent events that have happened I am worried that security here at Enron is still lacking.
I only say this because just this morning I forgot my Enron badge, so I had to get a guest pass, this of course is not a big deal and happens all the time.
However, I had my backpack with me like usual and nobody seemed to even raise an eyebrow.
Now obviously I pose zero threat to Enron but I feel like somebody who walks in with a guest pass needs only a drivers license, which hasn't been a problem for most terrorists to acquire, of somebody who works here at Enron.
Can you see where I am going with this?
Anyway, I'm a first year analyst and this whole event makes me more and more nervous as time progresses and the events unfold.
I only come to you with this concern because I am not the only one of my friends who have mentioned it.
Please take this into consideration and know that I only raise this issue for the safety of everybody.
Sincerely,
Subject: Meeting with you

Monday, October 8, 2001  Dear Ken: I am writing to request a meeting with you during the month of November.
I plan to be in Houston several times throughout the month, and I'm available to meet at your convenience.
I'd like to update you on Children First America's recent successes and upcoming plans, as well as learn more about your interests and priorities.
With the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on school choice, our opportunities have never been better for helping children distressed in innercity schools.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Cheryl Hillen will contact your office to see if an appointment might be arranged.

Subject: Center for Houston's Future

I participated last weekend in the Leadership Forum for Fall 2001 of the Center for Houston's Future.
I wanted to thank you for recommending me as a member of the Forum.
I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet so many interesting, talented members of the Houston community.
I know that I will enjoy working with the group during our second session, November 1-3, as well as collaborating on some "homework" assignments that we will complete between now and then.
I especially am excited about the possibilities of making an impact on Houston's future through developing both relationships and action steps  through my association with the Center.
Thanks again for making this opportunity available to me.

Subject: The Center for Houston's Future -- Capital Campaign

Susie Lewis in Exxon-Mobil's Public Affairs Department called me today for an update on The Center's capital campaign.
Terry Koonce has just passed on to her The Center's funds solicitation packet for consideration and Susie wanted to know how corporations, other than Enron, are responding to The Center's request.
I indicated to her that the follow-up calling was just beginning and that as soon as I could give her an update, I would.
I tried to get information from her regarding Exxon-Mobil's take on the request.
She hesitated a bit.
I said that the request was for an effort of the business community that was unprecedented in the history of Houston.
She agreed and said that Exxon-Mobil has two guiding factors in funding any effort:  1) the potential for impact on E-M business 2) the philanthropic value.
She went on to indicate that attracting workforce to the Houston region was a key necessity of E-M.  She also agreed that unless this region had a plan, it would be left behind.
She was upbeat, asked intelligent questions and appeared genuinely interested in and enthusiastic about The Center's efforts.
She has asked that I call her back next week.
In addition, Dennis Winkler, Manager, Community Relations - Houston for Shell (and Partnership liaison for Steve Miller) approached me at the Partnership's board meeting on Tuesday to chat about The Center.
He mentioned the fact that Steve Miller had asked him to go to Shell's Foundation and put Center for Houston's Future in line to receive funding.
Note:  Dennis did this prior to our solicitation packet being mailed.
I asked Dennis if Steve had received The Center's solicitation packet and if so, had Dennis heard any comment.
He said that he didn't know, but asked for a copy of the packet.
This was sent to him.
I am setting up a lunch with Dennis next week at his request to talk about The Center.
Please let me know how to proceed.
At this point, I have not received the final list of your calling preferences.
If I can fill-in or customize the list for you to facilitate your follow-up telephone calling effort, please let me know.
I would be more than glad to help.
Thank you for all of your help.
Subject: Additional Info for Harry Clark

Ken, it is my understanding the Harry was recommended to us by Irwin Setlzer and is going to talk to our Advisory Committe and maybe the Management Committee at the end of the month in London.
( I think that Steve organized this at your request?)
I had breakfast with Harry  in D.C. and  while I don't know a lot about him, I was impressed by some of his initial thoughts and the "totalilty" of his thinking as it relates to rebuilding our image and reputation.
He told me he had spent some time talking with Steve, Mark and Greg in an attempt to prepare his presentation but, as noted below, he would like to have some additional information.
I want to be careful here as I am not officially involved and I do not think Steve knows I met Harry, therefore I thought I should check with you before sharing  our internal survey with him, or the external "image" study.
Again, only a first impression, but he may be able to  fill a role for us that I suggested to you that Shelly Lazarus might, in terms of educating our folks on what makes up a company's image and why it matters.
Please let me know how you would like me to handle this.
Thank-you, Beth
Subject: Laura Bush

Dear Ken,  I can understand Mrs. Bush's scheduling dilema.
We will move ahead and look into other speakers and or entertainers for the event with the ability to cancel in order to accomodate Mrs. Bush if she were able to attend.
We, as a committee would love to be able to announce that she is coming, but understand the need for security.
It is our hope and prayer that she would grace us with her presence, her wisdom, and her wealth of informatiom about education.
I have emailed JHD and given him an idea I have to honor my dad in some way at the event because of his endless support in our school and his grandchildren.
I will let you know more about that as it develops.
My dad knows nothing about it so  I thought I could run it by John and he could give me sound advice.
I have big vision for our school and this community.
My dad taught me that.
Thank you for everything you are trying to do for us.
Sincerely,
