Subject: "Terrorism Audit".

Body: Michelle: Here is the first response I received from one of our senior partners in SF: I think the best thing such a client can do is to use a reputable security outfit (such as Kroll Associates) to give the co. a very thorough assessment. I think, quite frankly, that relying on the advice of such an outfit would provide more legal protection than talking to all of the lawyers in the world, although our advice could be an additional benefit. As you know, we have an extensive task force report on workplace violence that would be relevant to this inquiry and could provide the basis for an analysis of this issue, although other areas would have to be explored. I am soliciting comments about the HR consultant you referenced. Kerry E Notestine Littler Mendelson, PC 1900 Chevron Tower 1301 McKinney Street Houston, Texas 77010

Subject: "Enron Naturl Gas".

Body: Regarding our conversation on September 27 and 28, 2001, I am requesting that a representative from Enron get in touch with us on Monday, October 1, 2001. Presently, CSN, LLC and Enron do not have a natural gas contract in place. CSN was billed and paid on Enron's August invoice #200108-01M for 46,500 mmbtu under the Heartland Steel, Inc. contract. Our actual consumption for August was 16,290 mmbtu. CSN requests that the difference between what was paid on the August invoice for 46,500 and the actual consumption of 16,290 mmbtu (30,210 mmbtu) be reimbursed to CSN. CSN is being billed under the Heartland Steel, Inc. contract which is incorrect. For September's invoice from Enron, CSN should be billed for their actual consumption, and pricing should be the average market price for natural gas agreed between the parties. Please be prepared to advise on the above on our Monday conversation. Thanking you in advance.

Subject: "Rockies Term Markets".

Body:
Jay: In my travels looking for index 2 ways in the various rockies term markets you need I am running into several issues. First off, as you are aware, these markets don't tend to change much from day to day especially for the more obscure points and longer dated periods. Secondly, the time of year being the holidays is keeping most traders focused on Jan, Jan-Mar and April-Oct02 for the most part. Getting traders to show numbers beyond that, much less getting them to do it every day is not productive or practical. I suggest we keep in touch as we always do on a daily basis and I will pass on whatever we pick up in the market. However, attempting to refresh 2-5 year index markets on a daily basis isn't going to yield much in the way of "new" news. I look forward to seeing your shop get back on its feet down the road and to working with you. Thanks, Jim Kornmann - DataLine Energy
