Here is an email: Vince, I simply wanted to jot you this note because I find that I am sometimes able to address things better in writing than in a conversation. I want to convey my thanks to you for putting up with me through this period. I guess I was a bit shell shocked after seeing the project I had worked on, and the team I had built from scratch just going down in a matter of days, not to mention the changes on the personal side. Through this period you offered me the type of support that perhaps no one else would have, and I want to say that I really appreciate it. Over this period I got so entangled in my own problems and worries that I forgot that leadership is all about caring for others and not yourself. My house is now in order, and I am back to my old self. I want to offer you my full support at this time, and am at your service on whatever issue it is that you wish me to take up. The company is facing trying times, and I would like to help in whatever way I can. Please do put as much pressure on me as you would like. I promise that I will push myself to the limit. I am ready for the commitment to learn new skills, and have already been doing this, though it has been a slow process. I will require yours and others guidance from time to time, but will be ready for anything you suggest. Regards,

Comrades: As a parting gift for Diane we thought (actually Lesley Keffer thought, and I always obey her more sensible commands) that we should take a group photo at Thursday night's party, enlarge to a decent size, frame and present to Diane for hanging on her new office wall so she will be forced to remember us forever more. Therefore, I have engaged a photographer to be show up in the Wells Fargo Room on Thursday at about 8. I expect there will be quite a few of us, so we will arrange some chairs and stuff for tier seating, etc. and hope for the best. Bring your cheesiest grins. See you there. JT p.s. Diane, if you read this, you just ruined your surprise. In order not to make the situation worse, don't let on that you know anything about this so we can all continue in our ignorant bliss.

QUESTION: Mr. Jeff Skilling CEO, President, and COO Enron Houston, TX. June 25, 2001. Dear Jeff, I worked at McKinsey (NY/FI) during 1985-91 and have since founded and run an IT systems integration company called Techna in Silicon Valley, with clients worldwide and Purnendu ("PC") Chatterjee (ex McK and affiliated with Soros' funds) as an equity partner. We have been working closely with Sempra Energy trading for the past couple of years and are beginning an engagement with NYMEX soon. Our president, Ben Bernstein (ex Microsoft) has been managing these clients on the east coast personally. Ben and I feel that we have interesting ideas in IT for Enron from our experience in this industry thus far, and would appreciate your indulgence in getting us in touch with the appropriate IT leaders at Enron for us to make a pitch. Your achievements at Enron since leaving McKinsey have deservedly won you quite a fan following! As an unabashed member of this group, I would love to hear from you anyway, when you find a moment in your busy day. Best regards.

IN: The letter looks good. A couple of comments for your consideration: On page three we describe the change to the definition of Public Utility and then argue that we don't fit into it. Would it be worth explaining why that makes sense? Specifically, the New Jersey restructuring law, like most efforts of its kind in other markets, is designed to separate the competitive from monopoly elements of the power (and gas) businesses. Economic regulation would then be restricted to the remaining monopoly elements of the business (eg distribution). The competitive market can not be solely relied upon to "regulate" the behavior of monopoly asset owners, such as distribution utilities. Therefore, regulators continue to be called upon to set pricing and other terms of service. What those regulators decide matters a great deal to those monopoly utilities and it consequently makes sense for lawmakers to be concerned about attempts by such entities to use campaign contributions to tacitly influence decision makers. The same public policies simply do not apply to that portion of the market which is competitive. The generation and sales business has a competitive structure (i.e. relatively low barriers to entry, multiple competitors etc.). These components of the power and gas business can be "regulated" by the market with respect to rates and terms of service. They do not require economic regulation any more than grocery stores, department stores, appliance sellers or other "retailers" (who presumably are not prohibited from making contributions. Competition and markets discipline behavior and establish competitive prices and terms of service. Because regulators don't set the prices and terms of service for such sellers, there is no reason to be concerned about campaign contribuitions from such organizations. Indeed, the legislation, and the legislative history, clearly conform to this underlying policy rationale. As a former practicing lawyer, I certainly understand the value of pleading in the alternative. But, I question how certain of our arguments woud be perceived by the public if they ever came to light (which these documents have a habit of doing).. . I can just see the press seizing on Enron's claim of "ignorance or mistake" or the fact that we pled for the favorable exercise of "prosecutorial discretion". I suggest that we add whatever we feel is necessary to the very solid looking intent argument, not make specific reference to "ignorance or mistake", and not plead for the favorable esxercise of PD. If we feel we need to write about this last item, perhaps we could suggest that it would be a waste of the public's resources to pursue a claim under such circumstances.
