Dear Mr. Lay, As a former Enron employee who is suffering from the recent Enron stock price drop I would like to respectfully request that if there's anything you or anyone can do at Enron to keep Jessie Jackson's hands off of Enron, please do it. Jackson is nothing more than a extortionist and the less anyone has to do with this man the better. I still have my 401 K plus another 2100 stock options invested. Maybe it's more than Jackson has, I don't know, but from my point of view I trust your leadership and don't want him involved. If there is anything I can do as an Enron stockholder, please let me know. As for the buy out, I feel that all of us who own Enron stock will be the loser since the stock will more likely increase in value much quicker on it's own... I was an employee of Enrons for a number of years or until Enron started bringing in New York Talent such as Phillippe Bibi and his best friend's Arshak Sarkissian, Lenna Pearlman and the like. We had an excellent technology shop and while I was there I built the EDS later to be ETC trading floor infrastructure. It worked great but Bibi and Arshak treated our technical support staff like a bunch of country bumpkins. I'm originally from Missouri and made Texas my home and it was just too much to take the abuse from someone with just a green card. I know it's too late to say it now, but Enron lost a lot of great talent since the foreigners took over. Best regards,
Answer: Buy Out?
Let's try something a little bit different regarding Real Time deal disputes.... When Virginia and Mike receive a dispute from Houston, they'll file the pertinent information in a drawer (marked DMS) to the right of my desk, in a folder with your name on it. Please consult this folder at the beginning of every shift to determine whether you have any trades to clear up and how many. Sometime over the course of your shift, take a minute to address the discrepancy, make strides to resolve it. If it happens to be more complicated than an "intra-shift fix," talk to me so we can determine what needs to be done to expediate its resolution (pull tapes, pull our hair out, etc.) The most important step of this new procedure is post-op - TELL SOMEONE WHAT YOU'VE DONE. Sign the corresponding DMS sheet and write a legible explanation of measures taken on the back. Return it to Virginia, Mike, or me. Whatever you do, don't leave without a trace. I'd like to know if this sounds like a feasible plan; so feedback is welcome. In the meantime, this procedure will be effective immediately. Some of you already have disputes in your files.....Enjoy. Thanks,

Vince, I was surprised at your comments in today's PRC meeting. It must be my oversight for not sending you a copy of the briefing material that we provided Ken Lay for his trip to the White House. I spoke with Steve Kean after the meeting and he was pleased with our group's contribution. I thought you also had an opportunity to speak with Steve. Maureen
