IN: Today was the final ENA PRC. Relative ranking results up through the Senior Director level are final. You and your management team can begin the process of giving performance reviews to your employees. I spoke with Sheila Walton today to inquire about an expected time frame for completing and conducting the employee reviews. She indicated that the target completion date should be the end of July. Promotions will be effective August 1st. It is Dave Delainey's intent to announce ENA promotions sometime after he returns from vacation on July 24. This drives the end of July target completion date for reviews. I do not yet know if Delainey wants all ENA promotions to be announced in a single memo, or if each group within ENA will prepare such a memo. I will keep you updated on this as I get direction from him. Please note the following change since our Energy Operations PRC in June. In order to place focus on the qualitative feedback during this mid-year review process, we will not share performance clusters with employees when conducting their reviews. It is very important for all of us to be consistent in this process, so please communicate this to all in your groups who will be giving performance reviews. It is important to note, however, that the content of an employee's review should be consistent with our view of that employee's relative ranking. In other words, an employee in the Satisfactory category should not be given a review that simply states that the employee is doing a great job. Clearly, a large number of employees performed at a higher level than those employees in the Satisfactory category, so the feedback to that employee should include some specific areas of improvement needed in order for the employee to make a stronger impact in the organization, help you achieve the groups goals, etc. Also please note the following: Performance reviews for anyone in the Satisfactory, Needs Improvement or Issues categories must be reviewed by HR prior to these reviews being given to the employees. This will ensure that our feedback is commensurate with the relative performance of that employee. (This has been the stated process for the bottom two categories, and we are adding Satisfactory to this process as well.) Please remember to include a more experienced member of your management team, yourself, or an HR professional in reviews being conducted by inexperienced members of your management team, or those management team members where you have a concern over their ability or willingness to deliver candid and perhaps tough performance feedback. I believe that we have spent some time in identifying these situations. I ask your help to ensure that we follow through on this commitment. Thanks for all of your efforts in making this mid-year PRC process a meaningful one. It is Dave Delainey's intent to announce It if 0

OUT: Update on PRC Process

IN: 1. Whenever we supersede and replace one Enron guaranty with another, we are supposed to have the "supersede and replace" language in the new guaranty. Is there some reason why it's not in there, and if we can't get it in at this late date, how are we going to make sure we don't have two live Enron guarantees out with the counterparty? 2. Is there some reason one the state of Oregon is bolded in the guaranty?

IN: Dear Ken, As an Enron employee in the UK I would like to say thank you for taking the trouble of writing personally to your employees. The events of 11 September have shocked the world and forced our governments to take very difficult and far reaching decisions. As somebody from the UK I would like to say how we support President Bush and admire his handling of the very difficult decisions which have had to be made. We are pleased that Prime Minister Blair has totally backed these decisions and offered support. On a personal note we have friends in Boston and our concern for them highlighted the close bond between our two countries. The American citizens stranded in Britain at that time felt supported in their loss, grief and bewilderment. Our Queen took the initiative of the Horse Guards playing 'The Star Spangled Banner' and a melody of American tunes which was very emotional. The Archbishop of Canterbury said some inspired words regarding the Statue of Liberty and all that it stands for. Your position at Enron is at the top, mine is miniscule but we both want to say God Bless America. Regards
