Protested no tolerance on imbalance based on highest or lowest daily price in
the month.

Protested additional charge to create a primary point on segmented capacity,
forced daily balancing service, and change from unauthorized overrun penalty
(which is credited) to a service which is not.  Requested technical
conference.

It wasn't like I was neglecting you.  You must understand that e-mail is
faster than sending a letter and its slower than calling someone, but there
is not always an immediate return.  Some people are lazy with returning
e-mail.  It has been really busy here.  We are working long hours and this
project is trying to close by the end of the year.  It's a $1 Billion

I am making a couple of important changes in our process that you should be aware.

In the future, we will not be generally requiring legal opinions to be delivered with the Deemed Isdas (we may however require them on a case by case basis).  We will still require legal opinions with the Master Agreements.  Also, as you all know one of the problems to get from Mexican counterparties is the agent for service of process.  In the future we will be sending as part of our package the names, fees and form of contracts for three agents for service of process.  All the Mexican counterparties need to do is to choose one, sign the contract (it is normally one page by fax) and send it in.   Because this will expedite our counterparties getting agents for service of process, I will start to ask for such information both in the Deemed Isda and the Master.

Finally, I just contacted the confirm desk to ask them to, in the future, always inform me of any Deemed Isdas they get executed from mexican counterparties.  Like this I can know and let you know exactly who is signing these documents and who is not.  Ideally, we should get these back within a matter of two to three days.  If not we should at least attempt to start contacting the counterparties.

Just in case you are wondering why I am so concerned about the deemed Isda.  Before we have a Deemed Isda executed, if there is a problem, I will have to litigate in Mexico under Mexican law (ENA does not like this option).  Only after I get an executed Deemed Isda, I am out of Mexican courts and Mexican law.

let me know if you have any questions and or suggestions to optimize our process.

The above was duly authorized and will be implemented immediately.

Hope your week is going well.  Here are a couple of things I wanted to tell you.

1.  I made the arrangements for the house rental, bought 8 baseball tickets each to two of the games where I thought day of the game seats would be hard to come by & got our airline tickets.

2.  Hopefully you got the invitation from Cyndi/Rosemary for Sat.  I know you have Karate plans that day so I understand if it doesn't suit you.  If you decide to come let me know though.  Grandpa is willing to come and stay with Chad (Kim will be in Indonesia), but I wanted to also see what D&T will be up to.

3. Does any day this week suit you for exercise - walk/run?

Dave Maxey invited us to join him and Ann Marie at the opera on November 3 --

Tannh?user
Opera in three acts
Music and libretto by Richard Wagner
Sung in German with English surtitles

He suggested doing the dinner first (starts around 5:30, he thinks) -- they have 4 Founders Box seats.  He also granted permission to leave earlier if the Wagner was too much to take after two acts.

I told him I did not know what we had on the schedule, and I would check with you.  Let's discuss when we visit next.

Cathy,

I have been getting this question a lot!

It has been communicated to every employee that if they are in Category 5, they will get a PIP.  Therefore, I recommend putting one in place.  If you are more comfortable, you can re-name it to reflect goals and objectives for the next review period -- something like "Performance Objectives" or something to that effect.

Because it has been communicated that everyone will get a plan, we really should follow through.

Hi Michelle,

For those employees that landed in Category 5 due to misclassification of job group, is it sufficient to address in the evaluation and not complete a PIP?  The employee is by no means performing poorly and presenting her with a PIP would be a contradicting message.

Through the process of the PRC, we identified that this particular person who is a Specialist was really doing an Entry Specialist job and would have faired fairly well in the lower job group, however because we had them in the Specialist job group, she did not fair so well relative to her Specialist peers.

Just want to make sure I'm not breaking any policy by making this exception.

Thanks,
Cathy

Subject: ESA ORGANIZATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Interoffice Memorandum

To:	All ESA Employees

From:	James Bannantine
	Diomedes Christodoulou

Subject:	ESA ORGANIZATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT	    Date:  January 24, 2000

1999 was a great year for Enron South America.  In addition to consolidating
our unique position in the region and despite the economic upheaval from the
currency devaluation in Brazil, we were able to generate significant net
income and position ESA as an important business unit for Enron. Moreover,
1999 was a great year for Enron as a whole. The success of the strategy to
rely increasingly on intellectual capital is reflected in the recent rise in
our stock price.

To keep the momentum going in our region we must now steer the business
toward the creation of a regional merchant platform.  To facilitate this goal
we have decided to reorganize  by customer type.  Below are the highlights of
the new structure, which will consist of five major P/L centers:

The Wholesale Merchant Unit will be responsible for gas and power marketing
and supply at the wholesale level. This team will also handle asset
development projects, financial products and all other deals involving
wholesale suppliers and customers.  Brett Wiggs will lead the Wholesale
Merchant Unit.

The Direct Sales Unit will focus on developing the industrial market.  A key
objective will be to expand our role from that of an energy supplier at the
user gate to a broader role inside the fence and become a total energy
manager for the industrial customer through outsourcing with Enron.  Don
Black will lead the Direct Sales effort.

Our asset platform will be reorganized into three major units to include:
(a) Generation and  Pipeline Assets,  to be led by Peter Weidler; (b) Gas
Distribution Assets, which will continue to manage all our gas distribution
companies, to be led by Rick Waddell, and  (c) Electricity Distribution
Assets (Elektro), which will continue to be operated under the leadership of
Orlando Gonzalez.  All our assets will be organized internally to reflect our
merchant strategy.

In addition, we will continue to have the existing support functions with
some minor modifications.

The M&A function will be expanded to include capital management of our assets
and will become part of the Regional Finance Unit headed by Joe Kishkill. The
Regional Finance Unit will also include funding, accounting, treasury,
information systems and communications.

The Risk Management function will also be expanded and will include
structuring, modeling and pricing.   This function will support the
activities of all the P/L centers.  We are currently actively recruiting
internally for this position.

Legal, Regulatory and Government Affairs, and Human Resources/Administration
will continue to be under the leadership of Randy Young, Jos, Bestard and
Miguel Padron respectively.  We are also actively recruiting for the head of
Public Relations for the region.

The Executive Committee of ESA will be represented by all the above mentioned
individuals.  A copy of the organizational chart reflecting these changes is
included.  Further communications will be sent to all ESA employees as we
complete the organizational process.


Thanks,
I just left her another.

Subject:	East Power Meeting

We need to meet on Wednesday, the 2nd, at 2:00 pm (in the big conference on the sixth floor in ECS) to go back through the East Power contracts that we will continue to serve either through the pools or under bilateral deals.  Given the drill we went through today in preparing for the January schedules in PJM and NEPOOL, it became apparent we need to get all the team members on the same page and make sure we have a good system for notifying all relevant parties of terminations, changes, etc.

Bill/Ed - Can you please run the most recent DPR for non-terminated East Power contracts.

Casey and Stacey - will you please update the spreadsheet that you ran for Kevin last week.

Let's make sure we all agree on contracts that have been terminated.  As most of you probably have seen, a number of terminations have been received in the past several days (see below).

United Illuminating - effective January 1, 2002
HQ Energy Services - effective January 1, 2002
First Energy Solutions - effective January 2, 2002
Old Dominion - effective January 10, 2002 - we should schedule in PJM through the 10th of January (do we have any other positions with Old Dominion).
Ameren Energy
GPU Energy - effective January 21, 2002 - we should schedule in PJM through the 21st of January (they may push back, but we should remind them that they will be subject to LDs).

Thanks,

Don

Willis - that would be great.

We have some very tentative information on NYC:  there is a proposed law currently in committee at the NYC City Council level.  The law would require EGUs greater than 25 MW to reduce CO2 according to a schedule set out in the rule, eventually leading to a 30% reduction from 1999 levels.  A trading program would be possible and there is a fine of $5 for every ton above the allowed emission rates.

We are working on getting a copy of the proposed rule and the status of the rule.  Will keep you posted.

Thx.

Got it -- let's talk before I call the County office.  I have several questions myself.  Thanks.

http://www.co.suffolk.ny.us/exec/press/2001/emissions.html

Under the law taking affect March 1, 2002 any power plant in the county that generates over 1,800 pounds of CO2 emissions per Megawatt/hour would be fined two dollars for every ton above the limit. An additional $1 per excess ton would be charged in each consecutive year. The bill contains several alternatives to paying fines including buying emission credits through nationally recognized CO2 trading markets, investing in alternative energy sources or donating penalties to community environmental groups. The Suffolk County Department of Health Services will be responsible for compliance and will set rules and reporting requirements by October 1, 2001.

Hi,
?
How is the family???? and the multiple jobs??????
?
We just got back from Omaha --- Linda's 40th High School  reunion. I wish
someone would explain to me who all those old people were that  attended.
?
Putting $1.85 a gallon gas in that beast of hers was sure fun.  I may need a
part-time job if this keeps up long. (Just kidding -- you probably  have
enough to deal with -- right)
?
Jennifer has decided to journey off to Law school at Baylor.  She and Linda
are going to Waco Friday to finalize an apartment.
Chris is managing the I-10 Texas Land & Cattle store.  Keeps him very busy.
(can't even send an e-mail ----- like someone else I know)  (Just kidding)
?
We are looking for property on a lake (Linda's request). Like  there is
anything like that left in Texas. We will probably drop in this  house.
?
Pretty quiet here all things considered.
?
Drop me a line or give me a call when you have some time. Or  if you are
really free we could actually plan a lunch. The price of natural gas  should
help keep Tom from hassling you too much.
?

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from one generation
to the next, says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse,
the best strategy is to dismount.

However, in modern business, because of the heavy investment factors to
be taken into consideration, often other strategies have to be tried
with dead horses, including the following:

     1.   Buying a stronger whip.
     2.   Changing riders.
     3.   Threatening the horse with termination.
     4.   Appointing a committee to study the horse.
     5.   Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.
     6.   Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
     7.   Appointing an intervention team to reanimate the dead horse.
     8.   Creating a training session to increase the riders load share.
     9.   Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
     10.  Change the form so that it reads: "This horse is not dead."
     11.  Hire outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
     12.  Harness several dead horses together for increased speed.
     13.  Donate the dead horse to a recognized charity, thereby deducting
          its full original cost.
     14.  Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.
     15.  Do a time management study to see if the lighter riders would
          improve productivity.
     16.  Purchase an after-market product to make dead horses run faster.
     17.  Declare that a dead horse has lower overhead and therefore performs
          better.
     18.  Form a quality focus group to find profitable uses for dead horses.
     19.  Rewrite the expected performance requirements for horses.
     20.  Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.

Hello Janice:

 I enjoyed your recent e-mail but was sorry to hear about your dad.  It
sounds as though his health has deteriorated significantly.  These are always
difficult times.  As I watched my mother and father's health deteriorate and
ultimately watched them die, it is a very defining time in our lives.  But we
can be very thankful to have such great parents and to have had the privilege
to have been raised in such loving homes.

 Sounds as though Eric has done very well as SMSU.  He is joining an
excellent company.  I am also delighted to hear that he will continue his
education working toward an MBA.  As we are living in an age where
intellectual capital is so valuable, it is important for every young person
to obtain the very best possible education they can.  As to our family,
within the last ten days our youngest daughter Elizabeth was married to a
young man from Buenos Aires, Argentina.  They met while they were both
working on a project as lawyers in Buenos Aires.  They're currently on their
honeymoon but shortly after returning will be moving from Buenos Aires to
Miami, Florida.  This past Thursday night our sixth grandchild was born.  It
was born to our son David and his wife Courtney.  It was a 7 lb., 10 oz.,  20
inch little boy.  So we now have three grandsons and three granddaughters
ranging from about 2 years - 4 months down to a few days.  They are a great
deal of fun.  We are doing quite well.  I am looking forward to seeing Ginger
"Rees" Copeland when she comes to Houston.  I would be delighted to arrange
tickets for you and your family should you ever have occasion to visit
Houston.

 I hope you have a great summer.

exhibit_wp-02-e-:  BPA-77

request_text:  Please provide a short description of each line in the two
tables (lines 4-24) including (a) a comparison of the differences between the
two tables (either the reasons for any differences in amounts for a line
description that is the same in both tables, or the reason for any
differences in the logic of the calculations), and (b) a &crosswalk8 showing
how each line in each table corresponds to a variable or equation (or both)
in section f of the GRSPs beginning on p. 15 of Attachment A to this
testimony.

response_text:
The following two tables are excerpted out of WP-02-E-BPA-77, page 9, lines
4-26.

Table Illustrating JCG Method

Table Illustrating BPA Method

Before beginning the comparison of the two tables, it should be pointed out
that the tables calculate gross augmentation costs.  We left out the step
that calculates the net augmentation costs.  As a result, the &Total8 line
dollar amounts ($6M and $6.2M in the JCG table, and $6M and $6M in the BPA
table) should all be reduced by the amount of augmentation resale revenue.
However, since this modification will not affect the comparison requested in
the data request, let us continue as if the &Total8 line dollar amounts are
already net of the augmentation revenue. See the attachment to the data
response.

Another item that may be confusing is the item labeled &Pre-purchase ) 0 day
rule8.  This is the incremental cost associated with purchases made between
the 120-day cut-off and the 0-day cut-off.

Also, a crosswalk of each table showing how it corresponds to a variable or
equation in section f is not possible since section f reflects the BPA
method, not the JCG method.  Perhaps an overview of BPA,s perspective on the
difference between the JCG method and the BPA method will be helpful.

JCG calculated the augmentation costs using two different cost pools, one
cost pool for the Slice product (using the 120 day rule), and a second cost
pool for all other products (using the 0 day rule).  The products then
collected a portion of the augmentation costs associated with a specific
rule.  When these two cost pools yield different net augmentation costs
(which they usually will unless all of the augmentation is purchased under
the 120-day rule), the JCG method doesn,t collect the actual amount of either
of those pools from Slice or non-Slice.  Rather it collects a proportion of
each of the cost pools.

In contrast to the JCG method, the BPA method distributes the costs using the
120-day rule proportionally between the Slice and non-Slice products, and
then assesses all the incremental cost from using the 0-day rule rather than
the 120-day rule to the non-Slice products.  In contrast to JCG method, this
assures that all the actual incremental net augmentation costs calculated by
replacing the &120-day8 rule with the &0-day8 rule are recovered  from
purchasers of non-Slice power products.  In addition, this also assures that
purchasers of the Slice product do not bear any nearer term market prices
fluctuations.

Now for a short description of each line in the two tables, and a comparison
of the differences.  The example assumes that we don,t actually purchase all
of our augmentation, that some of it is served from BPA,s secondary, or is
bought in the spot market.

&Pre-purchase ) 120 day rule8 is the total cost of augmentation purchases
made at least 120 days prior to the month of delivery.  This amount is $2M in
both tables in both columns.  This amount represents the sum of DIURNALACA
for the six-month period.  This would have represented DIURNALACA(S) in the
GRSPs proposed by the JCG in their Direct Case.

&Pre-purchase ) 0 day rule8 is the additional cost of pre-purchases made less
than 120 days prior to the month of delivery.  This amount is $1M in both
tables in the non-Slice column.  The 0-day rule pre-purchases are not
applicable to the Slice product, thus the N/A in the Slice column in both
tables.  If &Pre-purchase ) 120 day rule8 and &Pre-purchase ) 0 day rule8
were summed the sum would represent DIURNALACA(NS) in the GRSPs proposed by
the customers.  Note that the Pre-purchase ) 0 day rule appears in a
different row in the BPA table since BPA has proposed that these incremental
cost enter the calculations at a different point.

Short position is the cost of the amount of AAMTA that is not pre-purchased.
This is the amount that is valued at PRICE in the GRSPs.  In the JCG, the
short position is different between the Slice and non-Slice columns.  This is
because the example has BPA purchasing some additional augmentation ($1M
worth) under the 0-day rule, and there is a corresponding reduction in the
value of BPA,s short position.  The change also reflects that the short
position is valued using different PRICEs for the 120 day rule and the 0 day
rule.  In the BPA example, Short position is $3M for both Slice and non-Slice
products, and the difference (-$0.8M) is found in the row &Short position 0
day rule8

&Buydown8 is the cost of all buydowns.  It is the same in both tables, for
both Slice and non-Slice products.  In the examples BPA spent $1M buying down
load.

&Total8 is the gross cost of augmentation.  As stated above, it should be
reduced by the augmentation resale revenue.  To continue on, let us assume
that &Total8 has been reduced by augmentation resale revenue, and represents
the net augmentation costs.  In the JCG  example, &Total8 is $6M for Slice
and $6.2M for non-Slice.  These would represent NACA(S) and NACA(NS) in the
GRSPs proposed by the JCG in their Direct Case..  In the BPA example, Total
is $6M for both Slice and non-Slice.  This represents NACA in the BPA GRSPs.

&Percent of CRACable revenue8 is the same in both tables.  The example shows
that the Slice revenue is 30% of the total CRACable revenue, and the
non-Slice revenue is 70% of the total CRACable revenue.

&LB CRAC Costs8 only appears in the BPA example.  It is the NACA distributed
between Slice and non-Slice products in proportion to actual revenue.

&Pre-purchase 0 day rule8 and &Short position 0 day rule8 are the changes in
the valuation of pre-purchases ($1M) and Short position (-$0.8M) between the
120 day rule and the 0 day rule.  The net difference of $0.2M is equivalent
to the difference that is seen in &Total8 in the JCG example (the difference
between $6M and $6.2M).  This difference is also equivalent to NACDIFF in the
BPA GRSPs.

&Total LB CRAC Cost(s)8 is the cost that the Slice and non-Slice groups true
up to.  In the JCG example, the Slice product trues up to 30% of $6M, or
$1.8M while the non-Slice products true up to 70% of $6.2M for a total from
both groups of $6.14M.  In BPA,s example, the Slice product pays 30% of $6M
or $1.8M (the same as in the JCG example) while the non-Slice products pay
70% of $6M plus the net difference between valuation of net augmentation
costs using the 120 day rule and valuation using the 0 day rule.  The
non-Slice amount is $4.2M plus $0.2M or $4.4M.

Barry, et al:

FYI.  Some initial info I got from our outside council regarding utility
authority to engage in financial risk management tools.  More info to follow
as we get it.  If you have quesitons, comments, or suggestions for additional
research needed, just holler. Please forward to others who might need it.

Best,
Jeff

Electric:  SCE, PG&E and SDG&E are all authorized to enter into bilateral
forward transactions with non-ISO or PX parties.  D.00-08-023 and
D.00-09-075.  These transactions are limited to contracts which must expire
on or before 12-31-05.  Initial contracts are subject to a blanket
reasonableness test (if less than 5% above cost of non-forward cost of
portfolio=deemed reasonable)  but contracts after 12-31-02 will be subject
to a CPUC preapproval process.

Gas:   PG&E authorized to use gas hedges for all purposes (D.98-12-082) but
limited to contracts expiring on or beforce 12-31-02 and limited to $200
million in cost or 800 MMcfd in volume.  We are looking for a similar
resolution or decision for Sempra.  Haven't found it yet, but we believe
they have been given similar authority.


you inner loop people lead such the lifestyle.  I'll take a rain check and plan on taking you to lunch later this week.  Let me know what day is good-- and we're taking your new truck!!!!

The Last Concert Cafe is in the far northeast section of downtown in the warehouse district just south of I-10.  They have decent Tex-Mex if you want to grab a bite earlier.  Carolyn Wonderland is a young singer/songwriter who singing style is kind of a cross between Marcia Ball and Janice Joplin.  Expect an eclectic crowd and dress warm if it is cool that evening, it's a semi-outdoor event.
