QUESTION: George, Dave Cobrain of the NMED has verbally approved of the soil characterization work plan which you submitted to him for review and has said that we can begin work as soon as the plan is approved by the OCD. I have not heard from Bill Olson of the OCD yet. Dave was going to inform the OCD that their office has given approval of the plan and that this might expidite Bill's review process. Ill let you know when I hear from the OCD.

QUESTION: DRAFT (Can we allow employees the afternoon of December 14 off?) This is a trying time for all of us. I carefully considered whether a holiday celebration is appropriate this year and, to be honest, employee feedback was mixed. Many viewed the holiday party as a unique opportunity for us to come together as Enron employees to share the spirit of the season. After all, the challenges we face as a company seem small in relation to the significance of this holiday season, especially in light of the events of September 11. However, I have ultimately decided to cancel the all-Enron holiday party that was scheduled for December 8. Given what has transpired over the past month, it would be imprudent for Enron to incur the expense of such an event. I regret that this action is necessary because I recognize that your hard work throughout the year merits a holiday celebration and so much more. While Enron cannot provide parties this year, we will give employees worldwide the afternoon off on Friday, December 14, so that they can spend time with their families and friends. I wish you the best this holiday season, Ken Lay

QUESTION: Many of you have asked about procedures to evaluate employee performance. We are finalizing a performance process designed to track and provide feedback on individual accomplishments for the benefit of each employee, the company and the unsecured creditors' committee. A very simple and straight-forward online performance assessment system (PAS) will allow us to automate parts of the process. PAS will open next week on Monday, May 13, and remain open through Friday, May 24, 2002. As an employee of a debtor company, you should access the system and complete your self assessment by Friday, May 17, 2002. Your supervisor will review and approve submitted accomplishments and schedule a face-to-face meeting to discuss your contributions, offer feedback, set priorities for the upcoming period, discuss challenges and potential development opportunities, and if applicable, confirm your quarterly retention payout and project a target for the upcoming quarter. PAS will be accessible through the HR Global Launch Zone. We'll send a reminder with more details next week. In the meantime, if you have questions about the process you can contact your HR Representative.
