Question: Q: Vince,   I was surprised at your comments in today's PRC meeting. It must be my oversight for not sending you a copy of the briefing material that we provided Ken Lay for his trip to the White House. I spoke with Steve Kean after the meeting and he was pleased with our group's contribution. I thought you also had an opportunity to speak with Steve. Maureen

IN: Pets In the Office  It's A Growing Trend   In the dog-eat-dog world of business, there's a growing trend at some  companies. Workers are bringing their  pets to the office. Chip Paucek, who produces educational videos and television programs, has  been taking his golden retriever,  Hoss, to work for the last five years. Paucek and Hoss visited The Early  Show and talked with Co-Anchor  Jane Clayson. The dog has became the office mascot, says Paucek. "He brings a lot of  emotion and people love it. He's  very relaxed." But Paucek, as co-president of his company, has the freedom to bring Hoss to  the office if he wishes. Not  everybody can bring their pet to work. "A lot of it depends on the dog," says Paucek, who explains that Hoss is not  a rowdy dog. "He just hangs out," explains Paucek. "He's easy to get along with." Hoss has free rein at the office. When Paucek is away on trips, "My wife  brings him in and drops him off at  the office," Paucek says. While there are plenty of positives to pets in the workplace, there are also  many legal issues to consider. John  Challenger, CEO of an international placement company, agrees that the trend  of bringing pets to the work  place is really growing. "More and more companies in this tight labor market are trying to make their  working place  employee-friendly and many are looking at bringing pets into the workplace,"  says Challenger    He points out, however, that there are serious issues that employers and  employees need to explore before  they adopt a pets-in-the-office policy. "One of the things that the companies must do, before they jump into a  policy like that, is take a poll  of their employees and find out what they're thinking. If you have certain  employees that don't feel  comfortable with pets, you might want to rethink the policy." There are liability questions as well. For example, the company might be  liable if a dog or cat bites or  scratches another employee. "The company ought to talk with their attorneys before they put this kind of  policy in effect," says  Challenger. "The employee needs to understand that if their dog bites  someone or the cat scratches  someone, it can't be the company's fault." Allergies are a major deterrent to bringing cats to the office. "Many people are allergic to cat hair. You have to think, as an employer,  will you put them in a  certain part of your space. What about people who are afraid of animals? Many don't feel  comfortable with them around. Just how many do you want? Do you want cats  and dogs and what  about birds? What about the noise of birds?" Paucek admits that when there's more than one pet in the office, "It gets  chaotic." In 1997, the American Animal Hospital Association surveyed 1,225 pet owners. They found that:         21% of those surveyed had taken their pets to work        76% feel guilty about leaving their pets at home while they're on the  job        33% said they leave a TV or radio on for their animals    If a company decides to allow pets in the office, they should:         poll employees before they let the pets come        provide a written policy about pets and list which pets are not welcome  in the office        establish an off-limits-to-pets area        make sure employees bring documents proving pets are vaccinated        bar noisy, destructive, or messy animals from the office        tell employees to keep control of their animals at all times    If many employees want to bring their pets to the office, the company should  make a rotating schedule. When the pets-in-the-office policy does work, it's great. Paucek says when  he and Hoss arrive at work, "I get  off the elevator. He goes one way and I go the other. He says hello to the  employees. He has his own  web page."

QUESTION: I am forwarding the resume of Wendell Licon who works for Enron in the HR department (executive compensation). He used to be an FX trader. I am thinking about moving him to research when his current boss is ready to release him. I think, however, that you should take a look at him as well and see if he fits your needs. Vince

Team Salmon,  Carlos will be working the Enron consent/opinion docs. I suspect he is  looking for a seat at the closing dinner, but the help is appreciated  regardless of motive. Carolyn, the form of the escrow instruction letter looked fine. I spoke with GE about the turbine contract, and I am optimistic that we will  have the "final form" today. Ciao,  Kay

A "dedicated room" isn't as bad as it sounds. It would not be in use full  time and the only equipment requirements are 4 screens (which one of the team  rooms can accomodate) and a network connection (which the team rooms already  have). Let me know what you think. Also: I talked to Salisha about Lara's  move and it's ok with me (I think we were originally concerned that she  wanted space we were setting aside for graphics, but she is actually moving  deeper into her group (and next to her files)).
