Assembly Member Tim Leslie is interested in sponsoring a bill which would grant air credits to prospective power plant owners in exchange for using reclaimed water. The bill is in its infancy and none of the details have been worked out. His office would like to know if Enron would be interested in providing technical assistance with the measure. They approached Enron because of the Roseville plant, recognizing that Roseville already has its air credits and is already scheduled to use reclaimed water. Thoughts?
Answer: Water
Here is an email: Greg, I'm sure these days have been tremendously busy for you and I hope that, whatever the outcome, it turns out to be the best for you, your family and colleagues. I've been following the news very closely and it really unfortunate to read about it. I am still shocked how a handful of people can cause so much trouble. Hope everything pulls through; if anyone is the right for the job, it's got to be you. With this said, I realize that you probably have very little "bandwidth" for matters outside of Enron these days. However, it is that season again where MBA applications are due and I would be honored if I could get another recommendation from you. Unfortunately, I did not get into Harvard last year. To make your life easier, I WILL DO ALL OF THE WORK - i.e. write the letter and fill out the forms, etc. - and only ask for your John Hancock (signature). Since I have a rather extensive list of applications, it will be perfectly appropriate to draft a general letter of recommendation that addresses topics from all of the schools. I will write this letter and if you accept my request, I would send you ten-personalized copies (one for each school that I am applying to) for you signatures. That's all! This way, you will spend very little time in providing me superb letters of recommendations, and both you and I will be very happy. Anyway, I would actually like to speak with you about this and just "life in general" if possible. I know your schedule at work probably doesn't permit you to have free-time (god forbid). I do have your home number, but I like to save it only for special occaisions. I think this might be one! Please advise.

A: Hi!
Q: Below is a summary of the discussions last week regarding the complaint against El Paso for oversubscribing the Socal Topock Point. The meeting started out by summarizing the dollar impact of the Border cuts to Amoco and Burlington of $3 million dollars and the additional fuel costs of $15 million that they have incurred when the mainline fuel was reduced and the gathering fuel was increased. Accordingly, producers are seeking a minimum of $17 million in compensation in some form or another. The biggest concern is that a total of 1.2 bcf/day is being nominated at the Socal Topock which can only deliver 540000 mmbtu/day. Socal Gas stated that this problem should go away when there system becomes unbundled (referred to as Gatekeeper).. The proceeding is currently pending CPUC approval and could be implemented as early as October 1, 2001. When the Gatekeeper is implemented , only 540000 mmbtu/day will be accepted at the Socal Topock border and must match up with the intra-state transport. SoCal Gas suggested taking the 1.2 bcf/day of nominations at the Topock delivery point and divide it up based on the original intent of the capapcity- 400 to Mohave; 540 to Socal Topock; and 180 to PGE Topock. They also stated they would accept less than 540 at Topock but needed a minimum of 300 to meet core needs. However, they wanted some type of compensation if their volume was reduced. They also agreed to live with the status quo until the Gatekeeper was implemented. This would result in firm rights being established at Socal Topock based on downstream rights. Williams owns Block 3 capacity and is willing to look at a CD reduction or a reduced take requirement or use of alternate points with a rate adjustment. After much discussion, El Paso came back with the following counter proposal: Recommended interim solution until Socal Gatekeeper implemented. Does not relate to receipt point rights. 1) Block 1 Capacity will always be alternate to Socal Topock (198000); 2)Block II Capacity can not be sold at PGE Topock (614000) 3) Amoco and OneOk each have a contract 45000/d which can go to Topock or Ehrenberg. It is recommended that they give up their Ehrenberg right and keep Topock right and Socal will give up like amount at Topock as well as shift an additional 70000 mmbtu/day from Topock to Ehrenberg resulting in approx. 115000 being shifted to Ehrenberg. 4) Rights fro expansion shippers would be carved up as follows: Socal Topock PGE/Mohave Topock Texaco 40 135 Burlington 26 74 Aero 5 15 Borax 7 12 LADWP 0 36 SWGas 0 20 5) Socal Topock would now be divided as follows: Expansion Shippers 78000 Socal Gas 425000 BLK 3 348000 (25-Amoco;20-Oneok;99-Williams;189 El Paso Merchant;15-Wlliams) Total 851000 540 divided by 841 would result in 37 percent cuts or 63 percent thruput. The producers were not happy with having to live with 37 percent cuts and felt that any transport sold after their Sept 28 complaint should be cut off the top which would be El Paso merchant services Blk 3. Separate meetings were then held amongst the Topock shippers to duscuss El Paso's counter -proposal.

IN: Sally, some thoughts/ideas that I thought about after your meeting. Lets promote the positive - some very exciting things are happening such as the move to the new building, lets make sure we get the PR out there to talk about the new features, move in plans, etc. I know security is tight but how about a mini open house. At this point it would do us good to go beyond the "Building Guy". I know I get excited whenever I'm over there. Things like vendors in the lobby to push new technology etc. I believe it's important to keep that almost "electric" atmosphere that surrounds the company. Lets show our employees that our outside business relationships are as strong as ever and our vendors/business partners still view Enron as someone they are eager to continue doing business with. I always get charged up when the lobby is full of activity. Keeps the pulse of Enron at a high level. Get some fun things out there, things the employees can purchase, electronic devices are always attractive. Work out a decent discount to make it exciting. Give it a holiday twist. Even if it costs us a few bucks to make that happen might be worth it. Make a push to host more industry meetings (GISB is one that I can help with). Lets get our counterparties in here and let them know nothing has changed. We can include mini tours of the new building to get the word back on the street about how we might be down but boy are we poised to grow, grow and grow some more. I mentioned to you that I believe it's important for the Executive team to show up often to reassure our employees that yes there are real, caring people running this company. Maybe some impromptu floor meetings to talk about recent events. Let them feel like there is a real connection. Make it personal and regular. Thanks for listening, the sense from my group has been okay. Lots of concerns but nobody running out the door at this point. I'll keep you posted. Bob Superty
