Subject: "TW Forecast".

Body: I had a meeting with Dan Pribble and Barney Brasher this morning reviewing the current status of the TW Operation forecast. It appears, at this point in time, that we have been able to clear up and cover all the unplanned expenditures, except for a remaining stretch of approximately $1,000,000. We are working with all entities within ETS Operations on NNG and TW to find ways and means to cover this remaining stretch between the two companies (TW) and (NNG) during the month of December. Since late October, Barney and his team have uncovered expenses on TW in the amount of approximately $3 million that was not covered in the Fourth Quarter forecast. We have cleaned up all but the remaining $1 million. Dan and Barney have both held meetings face to face with the parties involved in forecasting, or lack of it, and are implementing corrective actions. We really appreciate the massive effort all personnel are taking to help alleviate this situation and we within OSS have implemented tighter controls and reviews on all the Business Units. We will initiate weekly flash reviews and monitor closely the processing of all expense invoices during the month of December. If you have any futher insights of means to relieve this situation, please advise. Morris

Subject: "Southern Trails Due Diligence".

Body: Kim, Mark listed below are the ETS Operations employees that will participate in the Southern Trails due diligence October 29th and 30th in Salt Lake City, Utah. L.D. Stephens - Team Leader/Operations Larry Campbell - Environmental ???????? - ROW (To be determined by Johnny McGee and communicated directly to you) Mike Ames - Pipeline Safety As discussed, these employees will arrive in Salt Lake, Sunday evening, October 28th prepared to go to the data room Monday 29th and Tuesday 30th. They will return to their respective home locations Wednesday morning, October 31st. Please provide a Questar contact person and address of the data room. If you could also provide the name of a hotel close to the data room, it would be appreciated. Names of other Enron parties participating in the due diligence and where they are staying would be helpful. Any specific limitations imposed upon the data room review should be communicated as soon as possible. Morris Brassfield (Operations Support) and Jerry Martin (E&C) have determined that it is not necessary for them to have personnel attend the data room. The operations team will retrieve as much information as possible to support their needs. It was also my understanding no one from Planning and System Optimization would participate. As I will be out of town the rest of the week, please communicate directly with these individuals via e mail. If you need to need to contact me, I can be reached at 713-303-2764. Don

Subject: "Eucalyptus Pulp - Final Note".

Body: Martin, Subsequent to my last e-mail I discovered an additional detail which may po= ssibly clarify why ENCE prefers to purchase the Chilean E. globulus species= to the Brazilian species for pulp production. It would appear that the E.= globulus species holds up better than the various Brazilian species during= the refining process. While most papermakers generally don't refine hardw= oods and softwoods with the same equipment, many smaller European mills are= unable to afford the capital investment of a second refiner and accordingl= y do use a single refiner for all grades. This is particularly true of the= Italian mills. Since hardwoods cannot withstand the rigorous refining req= uired for softwoods without losing their papermaking characteristics (opaci= ty, etc. ), these papermakers need to utilize the hardwood species best suit= ed for this type of processing. Accordingly, the globulus species (which i= s also the predominant species in the Iberian peninsula) holds up much bett= er under this type of heavy refining than any other species of eucalyptus. In any case, I hope this helps shed additional light on this issue, and, as= always, please feel free to revert with any questions you might have. Tha= nks. Karen
