Q: We had a wonderful, quiet weekend. The wine was very good. I drank it without food, as it was nice and light, which is how I like my reds. It would have been good with a tomato based pasta, I think. How do I find out how much vacation I have? I know there's a system on the intranet. I want to plan some time off this year, if possible. I know how difficult it can get the longer I wait. Thursday I won't be in until around noon. More Michael stuff. Kay

Late afternoon 1/3/01 news: USA: Calif utility ratings may fall too far on 7-15 pct hike. By Jonathan Stempel 01/03/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. NEW YORK, Jan 3 (Reuters) - Bankruptcy may loom and the credit ratings of the two largest California electric utilities will likely fall too far if that state's Public Utilities Commission awards them an interim rate hike of 7 to 15 percent, analysts said Wednesday. In a draft decision on Wednesday, the CPUC proposed an immediate hike of 9 percent for residential customers of Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and Southern California Edison, and hikes of seven to 15 percent for various business customers. The CPUC commission is expected to issue a final decision on Thursday. "It forces the utilities and their creditors to be limbo dancers, and skilled limbo dancers at that," said Shawn Burke, head of U.S. investment-grade research at Barclays Capital. PG&E and SCE had requested respective rate increases of 26 percent and 30 percent, a hike that would help them avoid imminent bankruptcy. The utilities have also asked the regulators to remove a freeze on retail rates imposed under California's 1996 law that deregulated the state's electricity market. On a day when most stocks roared ahead after the Federal Reserve announced surprise interest rate cuts, investors beat down the stocks of Pacific G&E's parent, San Francisco-based PG&E Corp. , and SoCal Edison's parent, Edison International . PG&E shares closed Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange at $17, down $2-9/16, or 13.1 percent, while Edison International shares closed at $12-1/4, down $2-3/4, or 18.3 percent, on the Big Board. Bond quotations were not immediately available for the utilities' bonds, which in recent weeks have traded like junk. Pacific G&E and SoCal Edison were banking on a big rate hike to allow them to pass on some of their soaring wholesale power costs to consumers. The utilities, which operate under a rate freeze, have accumulated more than $8 billion in unrecovered costs since wholesale power prices started skyrocketing last summer amid a worsening electricity shortage in the state. They claim they are running out of money due to the price freeze, and have billions of dollars of bills coming due in the next six weeks. Central to their concerns is whether credit rating agencies Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's will cut their medium investment grades to junk status. "No one knows for sure, but if we consider the average rate hike is only about 10 percent, it will be difficult for the companies to maintain investment-grade ratings," said Dorothea Matthews, a fixed-income electric utilities analyst for Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown. The utilities have already been unable to tap short-term capital markets because of their precarious financial state. Downgrades to junk, which the agencies have already threatened, would cement the door shut to these markets, and cause the utilities to default on some of their loans. Late Wednesday, PG&E Chief Executive Gordon Smith said the commission's proposed hikes could jeopardize his utility's future loans. Even a downgrade to the lowest investment grades - "Baa3" for long-term debt and "Prime-3" for short-term debt from Moody's, and "BBB-minus" and "A3" from S&P - would make the going very difficult for the utilities. The reason: short-term debt markets are often closed to companies with those ratings. "Unless this process allows the rating agencies to keep 'A2/P2' ratings on the short-term debt of both companies, then this process has largely been a waste of everyone's time," said Burke. Still, he said, "there is a reasonable chance, despite today's weak recommendation, that the situation can be salvaged with mid-'triple-B' ratings, which would allow a lifeline to conventional sources of liquidity." Moody's and S&P were not available for comment. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Can you please arrange for this message to be sent to all of Enron - Houston this evening. It should have Mike McConnell's letterhead and we would like an opportunity to preview the final message before it goes out. Please contact me at X-36898 if you have any questions. Thanks. Cathy Phillips It is my sincere honor to once again lead the Enron team in this year's Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF) walk scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 5, 2000, at the Sam Houston Race Park. I continue to serve on the board of JDF representing Enron and will be Enron's corporate executive for this year's fundraising efforts. As many of you may already know, I am an insulin dependent diabetic myself. Even though I know how difficult this disease can be to manage with the multiple finger pricks for blood samples and several shots each day, I cannot imagine how difficult it is for a small child with this disease. Taking insulin does not cure the disease nor prevent the development of complications; insulin is simply their life support system and without it they would die. Enron continues to be a major corporate sponsor for JDF again this year. JDF is a very efficient organization in which approximately 84% of all money raised goes directly to research. Enron's goal this year is to raise $225,000 and we need your help. Enron has been the number 1 walk team for 5 years in a row and we are not ready to give up first place! We need team leaders, walkers and volunteers to help us reach our goal. The theme for the walk this year is "Knock Out Diabetes" and we would like to have you join us for this great event. The Walk is truly a blast and we had about 500 Enron people participate last year and everyone enjoyed it. If you are interested in volunteering to be a walker or a team leader, or if you would like to make a pledge, you may call any of the steering committee members listed below. If you are interested in being a team leader, please contact one of the following people immediately so that you may be included in the first important and informative training session taking place this week. Thank you very much for your support.
