Q: Here's a draft of a research memo on options. While I am hopeful that we can overcome FERC's policy on reservation of capacity, our arguments obviously need to be developed a little more before we can do that. I know the business folks are anxious to hear our strategy. I would appreciate your comments on the attached.

Q: Patrice/Geoff, How do you guys want to handle the contract with this customer? Will he stay on ENA paper or do we, EES, send him a new contract? I need these answers today because the customer will be moved an EES pool today for June 1. I would also like to see the contract you guys have with them so I can understand what obligations I would owe them. Thanks,

Q: I asked Credit to put the referenced counterparty on the re-approval list for financial because momentarily we hope to get the signed ISDA Master Agreement in from the Counterparty and if certain things don't happen when I open them up they will have a cow!! 1. When I approve them to trade financial online we need to make sure they are coded for having the master swap agreement in place. They are insistent that they do not see the GTC and that the confirms and procedures agreed to in the master apply. 2. All US and Canadian financial transactions, whether online or offline, should roll up under the master. As soon as we get the executed ISDA Master Agreement in I will send an email. I thank you and I know Sara Shackleton thanks you...!! !

Q: The approval process initiated in 1998 for all meeting and event expenditures in excess of $5,000 has enabled Enron Americas to better assess the business value of events, accurately track our activities and save money. These events include customer and employee meetings, and trade shows. EA has made some modifications to the process, which are described in this memo. The $5,000 threshold remains in effect for all customer events. However, the threshold for approval for employee meetings and events has been lowered to $500, and some additional requirements must be met prior to approval. Please be sure to follow the procedures described below for all meetings and events, so we can continue to successfully manage these events. 1) Prior to making any commitments to customers or vendors, all customer events with anticipated costs in excess of $5,000, and all employee events with anticipated costs in excess of $500 must be reviewed by the Enron Americas Public Relations department and approved by the Enron Americas Office of the Chairman 2) The PR department will handle the site search and hotel contract negotiations for all such events. Once this is completed, the PR department will work with you to plan and produce your event in its entirety; or they can provide as much or as little assistance as you require. The PR department will be responsible for helping you achieve the best value for your program and EA. 3) A completed expenditure request form (see attached) and supporting documentation is required for each event. Employee meetings require a detailed agenda as part of the event documentation prior to approval. Please submit the completed expenditure request form and documentation to the PR department at EB 3642, or work with PR department employees to complete the form. 4) After PR review, the expenditure will be submitted to the EA Office of the Chairman for final approval. Additionally, the PR department can assist in the procurement of tickets for various local sporting events and concerts. If you have any questions regarding this process, would like assistance planning an event, or need tickets for a Houston event, please contact Dorie Hitchcock in the PR department at (713) 853-6978. Thank you for your cooperation.
