Jeff The attached "Rough & Tumble" is an electronic clipping service targeted at California politicos and policy wonks. It carried the LA Times version of the Lockyer comments a couple days ago. Today, it has the NY Times article on Ken Lay. It's pretty clear that in the near-term, Enron and it's leadership are at risk of being engulfed in a political firestorm which bounces from coast to coast, gaining strength each step of the way. However, it is the long-term challenge that draws my attention. From my research to date, I am left with the strong impression that the Enron's capacity for acquiring, distilling and assessing business information is much stronger than it's abilities with public policy information. Ken Lay, you and your team have shaped a innovative and entrepreneurial company rooted in agile arbitrage of business knowledge. Like Goldman Sachs, it is hard for the "man on the street" to understand precisely what Enron does. However, because of your presence in businesses that play out daily in homes, schools and small businesses, Enron will be scrutinized in a way the Goldman couldn't imagine in it's worst nightmares. From my perspective, the success of Enron's business model demands a sure footing in both business and public policy. Going forward, these two areas of expertise need become intertwined to assure the success of the highly sophisticated, ethical, innovative and insightful global corporation known as Enron. I would like to help you succeed with this challenge. I look forward to our discussions.
