Judge says Enron has to give up documents By Emily Bazar Bee Capitol Bureau (Published Sept. 7, 2001) Enron Corp. must turn over sensitive internal documents to state legislators, a Sacramento judge ruled Thursday, but only after the two sides agree to a court-approved confidentiality agreement. For months, a special Senate committee investigating electricity price manipulation has been issuing subpoenas and gathering documents from power generators and marketers. During the process, the committee has found three companies in contempt for resisting the subpoenas, including Enron, which fought back with a lawsuit asking the court to intervene on its behalf. In his ruling stemming from the suit, Sacramento Superior Court Judge Charles Kobayashi said he wasn't convinced that "the Senate committee will be able to maintain the petitioner's right to confidentiality." As a result, he ruled, those documents handed over by Enron that contain legitimate trade secrets must be protected by a confidentiality agreement. In his ruling on another Enron motion, however, he denied the company's request to quash the committee's subpoena. Still, Enron officials considered the judge's findings on the whole a victory. "We had no certainty that anything we handed over to the Senate would remain confidential," said Enron spokeswoman Karen Denne. "We were not receiving due process from Senator (Joe) Dunn's committee. They were acting as judge and jury on this issue." Dunn, D-Santa Ana, who is the committee chairman, said he "respectfully disagrees" with the judge's decision on the confidentiality agreement, which he said will be reviewed in the next few days by the Legislature's lawyers to determine whether an appeal should be pursued. Another Enron motion seeking an injunction against the committee will be heard in court next week. Enron is one of three companies that have been found in contempt by the committee. However, the committee purged its contempt finding against Mirant in July after the company complied with the committee's requests. The committee was poised to expunge its contempt finding against Reliant Energy Inc. on Thursday as well but couldn't draw enough senators for a vote. Dunn delayed the action until the next meeting. As for the contempt charge facing Enron, the Senate Rules Committee is scheduled to review the findings Monday and possibly make a recommendation to the full Senate. Should the full Senate also find Enron in contempt, it would determine what punishments, if any, would be levied. Dunn said he believes fines would be the most appropriate punishment.

Hey buddy, what's happening? Not much up here these days. I took last week off and Phillip is out this week, so I don't have much to do. I'm pretty much done scheduling and I start next week in Gaskill's group. Anyway, you were going to send me the names of those guys in London we talked to about the synthetic storage, and if you did, I lost them. Regardless, any chance of digging them up for me? I may want to talk to them about their bid process. I think Phillip is ok with going ahead with the idea, but I think I need to keep the ball rolling here with or without him. Mat

Q: This is the official notice to sign up for our golf pool. It is now in its 12th year, the 3rd using Yahoo. Rules are described below. Necessary action: Let me know of your intention to participate by getting me your initial ante of $25 before January 2, 2002. Most of you have amount left over from last year that can be applied. We welcome new recruits, as long as they ante and have the commitment to participate all year long. The initial ante, which will serve as collateral, is due in the first week or any time the manager's collateral is more than $5.00 insufficient. After receipt of the collateral, the remainder of the year's accounting is by credit. The fee for entering each week is the greater of $5 or $2 per million of event prize money. Participation is mandatory except for three "vacation" weeks which require you to set all of your players as "reserve" or notify the members in advance of the deadline. The pool of entry fees will be distributed proportionally by each manager's credits for the week. Credits will come from three sources: (1) Margin; (2) Rank among the managers for the week; and (3) Handicap. For the weeks until Yahoo starts (probably with Pebble Beach) we will use a spreadsheet method as follows: A list of eight golfers must be submitted to me by 8:00am (Central Time) on Thursday. Managers will get points by dividing their listed golfer's winnings by the sum of one plus the number of managers who have listed that golfer. For the above Margin component, a pool of credits (equal to 100 per participating manager) will be distributed proportionally by each manager's points in excess of half of the average points. For the above Rank component, a pool of credits of equal size to the margin pool will be distributed such that each position is 41.4% higher that the next lower. (For you actuaries, this is from the square root of two; the ratio doubles with every two steps up.) For the above Handicap component, the points are 0.0014 * (average team score) * ( $ in the hole at the start of the week 2 )?After Yahoo is up and running, the procedure will remain the same as last year. You will need to make your picks according to the Yahoo website and managers will get points according to the site's scoring. ?For the above Margin component, each manager's margin will be their Yahoo points in excess of half of the average points. ?For the above Rank component, a pool of credits of equal size to the margin pool will be distributed such that each position is 41.4% higher that the next lower. (For you actuaries, this is from the square root of two; the ratio doubles with every two steps up.) ?For the above Handicap component, the points are 0.0014 * (average team score) * ( $ in the hole at the start of the week 2 ) Rules may be modified for weather delays, nonstandard tournament formats, or other special situations.

Greetings: Hope everyone had a pleasant 4th. I've read the respective Burton and Hertzberg language on amending AB 1X. The Burton language looks cleaner and simpler, though there may be reasons to include some of the Hertzberg language, too. I'm proposing to the group the following as potential amendments to the bond bill. I would appreciate your feedback. The amendments would be as follows: Customers who were on Direct Access when DWR started buying power (Jan. 17th? ), and are still on Direct Access when the bill passes, should be exempt from paying for the bonds. In short, customers should not be forced to pay for power twice--once from
