Dirk--
I would really appreciate it if you would not send any more correspondence re chronology to CSUF or anyone else outside of Enron without Legal and P&GA signoff. Regardless of our relationship with CSUF, there is no such thing as "draft" correspondence outside of Enron. Everything that is sent outside the company, and most correspondence within the company, is discoverable in litigation, whether it has been blessed or not. I am especially concerned about that statement that Enron intends to escalate this matter within Enron, PG&E and/or the CPUC, since with Project Mercury going on we may have strategic reasons not to discuss this project with PG&E or the CPUC that override our interest in CSUF. In addition, I am concerned that if PG&E gets a hold of this correspondence, it may be used against us in the future as a means to twist our chronology around. I also need to get clear verification of the chronology and breakdown of costs so that we can be sure that we present our story in the best possible light. Again, please do not send any more correspondence to CSUF regarding this project, and especially regarding Enron's future actions with regard to this project, without clearing it beforehand with Legal and Gov't Affairs, whether "draft" or otherwise. In addition, we will need to send CSUF an email either "retracting" the correspondence you just sent or stating that CSUF must not rely on the correspondence until we have verified all of the facts surrounding our view of the project. I will assist you in drafting this email to CSUF. Thanks for helping keep this under control until we have all of the stakeholders, including our betters in Houston, fully apprised of the situation. Pls call or email if you would like to discuss further.
