I have reviewed Tana's list of North American utilities and have the following comments: (1) I have tried to eliminate all governmentals and regulated entities. However, I suggest that we ask Kevin Leitao to take a quick review for obvious errors. (However, I don't want Kevin to prepare unlimited research on our behalf. I'll discuss with him). (2) I suggest that we ask Canadian counsel to review Canadian utilities on authority/regulatory issues. In my experience, Canadian outside counsel was reluctant to even comment on utilities located in provinces other than outside counsel's domicile. (3) The online omnibus does not contain the ISDA Section 3(c) rep as to absence of litigation. This rep drags in governmental bodies and all agencies (hence, a state PUC). Thus, online parties will rep as to authority to transact each time they trade but we will not know about potential PUC issues. (Under the ISDA, a party would have to notifiy us of a "Regulatory Development" and we may have an Event of Default for failure to notify; we may also have a Termination Event under our current format).

Good morning Mr. Skilling. When I arrive at work today the only e-mail I had was the EES Distribution, and my first though was great my day is going to go well. When I open and realised it was an opportunity to ask you a question, I though long and hard about it. The reasons being is that most of the little people in a company of this size never really get their voices heard on any issue, and being a contractor make it even harder so why would this be any different. Another concern was, will a person like yourself really have time in your busy schedule to read and answer every e-mail, phone call all or written correspondence he receives from an employee. But Mr Skilling I am taking the chance that you yourself can hear this voice . My question to you this morning is very important to me and I am quite sure to many others like myself. I would like to know why is it that Enron spend so much money, training and time on contractors like myself, only to turn around and hire someone else to do the same job that the contractors are doing already. Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to offer the job to the contractor, or just give them the opportunity to accept or decline the offer.? Mr. Skilling I think that Enron is a great company to work for because of all the information, that I have learned in my eight months of employment. But like most company their is always room for improvements. Also Mr. Skilling this is not a pitch for employment, it just a question of concern. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you. I wish that your day will be a great and less busy one. Have a great day. Hope to hear from you soon.

How well do you know our Code of Ethics? "It is a condition of employment that each employee accept the responsibility of complying with the foregoing policies. The Company will require each employee of the Company to complete and submit a statement in a form designated by the Company pertaining to such employee's compliance with the policies set forth in this booklet. The Company reserves the right to request any employee to complete and submit such statement at any time or as frequently as the Company may deem advisable." (Enron Code of Ethics, July 2000, page 62) What does that mean? In layman's terms, everyone employed by Enron agrees to all the policies and standards listed in the current Code of Ethics (July 2000). Who does it apply to? The Code of Ethics applies to all employees, third party contractors, guests and licensees of Enron. Additionally, employees are responsible for their family members and/or personal household who use, own, or have access to Enron's communication services and equipment -- including telephones, fax machines, computers, computer modems, long distance telephone services, cell phones, voice mail, pagers, e-mail, mail and delivery services.

Attached is a draft of the Agreement for Recruiting or Contract Personnel Services. This draft combines the Master Services Agreement, the Agreement for Project Services, and the Staffing Services Agreement into a single, comprehensive document. Attached to this, as applicable, will be a Project Work Description ("PWD") and/or a Staffing Services Description ("SSD"). I understand that HR is working on a revised PWD. I will circulate the SSD in the near future. It will contain a more specific description of staffing services (e.g. retained/contingency) as well as pay rates. Please review this draft to determine if it fits your needs. Feel free to throw darts! Let me know by return email if you have comments or questions. I will resolve as many as possible based upon your comments as well as those of others in Legal, and circulate a revised draft based upon those comments. Thank you.
