I am pleased to announce the following changes in the Global Risk Management Operations organization: Bob Hall will lead operations for Enron Americas. Bob previously served as one of the business controllers for gas operations for Enron Americas, with direct responsibility for Gas Logistics and Volume Management. The leadership team reporting to Bob will include Peggy Hedstrom (Calgary Operations), Jeff Gossett ( U.S. Gas Risk and South America Operations), Stacey White (U.S. Power Risk), Leslie Reeves (U.S. Gas and Power Confirmations and Settlements), and Bob Superty (U.S. Gas Logistics). Brent Price will continue to lead Operations for Enron Global Markets and fulfill his dual role as Chief Accounting Officer for Enron Global Markets. I am very pleased to announce that Kevin Sweeney will lead Operations for Enron Industrial Markets. Kevin brings to his new role extensive risk and operations experience from stints in our Houston, London and Singapore offices. Kevin fills the role that was previously held by Brenda Herod, who will now report directly to Beth Apollo. Beth Apollo will be the Operations Project Manager for the assimilation of EES Wholesale. This will include Deal Capture, Risk Analysis, Confirmations, and Global Data functions which have been moved into EWS under Global Risk Management Operations. Successfully leveraging the infrastructure to support the EES business plan will also require close coordination with Gas Logistics, Settlements and the Operational Analysis (OA) process, and Beth will actively coordinate operations efforts with these teams and the commercial teams. I have asked Beth to project manage the effort to look for opportunities to streamline and improve systems, processes and controls, and to consider alignment, where it makes sense, with existing EWS processes. Reporting to Beth will be Scott Mills, with a focus on Deal Capture, Risk Analysis and Confirmations, and Brenda Herod, with a focus on invoicing control guidelines and reporting requirements. Beth will also continue to manage the Global Services function, which includes the consolidated DPR process and Global Operations Standards, led by Shona Wilson, and the Global Data function which is lead by James Scribner. Mike Jordan will continue to lead operations for Enron Europe, working closely with me and other EWS operations leads to insure the proliferation of best operational practices worldwide for Enron. Thanks for your continued support especially in exploring and seizing commercial opportunities to strengthen our contributions to Enron.

Mr Lay: It is easy for me to understand the feelings of anger of many of my co-workers and peers as the turn of events at Enron has probably taken the worst possible route. I do not understand, however, why so many people blame you personally for the whole process. This is a business issue, and as a business failure, the "fault" if there is such thing, belongs to no one. It's just a fact of life that businesses fail, and businesses succeed. Enron was always on top, and when that was the case, although people recognized your leadership, the common knowledge was that it was all a "team effort". I find it unfair and unhealthy to hear people's currennt comments about upper management including, particularly, yourself. I have the sense that for many people it has become a personal thing, and that should definitely should not be the case. As a personal note, I have to say that I feel for you. Seeing what you built for many years crumble to dust like Enron has, and then leave with that legacy must not be easy. The closest analogy I can think of is the Concorde. There are many parallels among the Concorde and Enron. Both were a marvel of innovativeness, technology and talent, each in its own time. After Concorde's first crash last year, it was imperative that it fly again. It would have been a bitter and undignified end for such a graceful, advanced machine if it did not. Many engineers, originally involved in the process of building Concorde in the 60's and 70's came out of retirement to participate in its modification process. And now, it is flying again, with pride. Given the pragmatic and cold facts of business, I do not think you will have that opportunity. Whether Enron flies again (and I'm sure it will) you will not be a participant to its re-birth. Even though for the past 2 months you have spent countless sleepless nights, away from your family and trying effortlessly to get the best possible solution, you will not be here to see the fruits of your work. For some time to come, people will associate you with Enron's demise, and will blame you for it. Few will remember that it was you who made Enron what it was, in our best days. I believe strongly that that is not fair. Thanks for what you have done, for the past 25 years and the past 3 weeks. You are probably one of the people most affected by this, at least emotionally. Thanks for your courage in keeping us updated, through voicemails and e-mails, knowing that most of them will be deleted, just by the mention of "office of the chairman". And please keep in mind that there are a lot of people out there that recognize what you've done, your recent efforts, your strength and presence of mind in these tough times.

Mark Haedicke approved the hiring of King & Spalding for this matter. I will drop Mr. Derrick a voice mail, but I would faint if he objected. John, we need to talk about the sale of the LLC, and the generation of a draft doc re same. Please let me know if you are available today to discuss this transaction with Sr. Jacoby and me. Additionally, it would be helpful to discuss the tolling arrangement with Ken. Thanks,
