Many apologies comrade! By the way, "organization" is spelled with a "z" not
an "s" in American English. Or do you write in English American now?

This is a great time to be at Enron. The challenges and opportunities at Enron seem to be expanding with every passing day. This presents enormous challenges for Government Affairs as a group and for each of us individually. As we discussed at the staff meeting last month, this requires us to constantly reevaluate our priorities, our methods of getting things done, and whether our organization is properly structured to meet the needs of the entire company. While we have done an outstanding job as a group within our current structure, changes are necessary at this time. The primary change in the organizational structure is to complete the assignments for and reinforce the leadership roles of the individuals within the group who have primary responsibility for setting the Government Affairs strategy and agenda for the respective Enron operating companies. The below mentioned individuals will have the following responsibilities: 1. Enron North America and Enron Industrial Markets: Jim Steffes 2. The Enron Energy Services Group of Companies: Harry Kingerski 3. Enron Broadband Services: Sue Nord 4. Enron Global Markets and Enron Networks: Lisa Yoho 5. Enron South America: Jose Bestard 6. Federal Government Affairs: Linda Robertson With the impending retirement on March 31, 2001 of Joe Hillings, I am pleased to announce that Linda Robertson will be joining the office on November 6, 2000, as a Vice President who will immediately assume responsibility for leading the Federal Government Affairs group in our Washington office. Linda was a Congressional staffer and partner/principal in two Washington law firms prior to spending the last eight years with the U.S. Department of Treasury, the last five as Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs and Public Liaison, for Secretaries Rubin & Summers. Linda brings a terrific background, both in energy and financial services, and is a welcome addition to our team. In order to more effectively integrate the Government Affairs groups and strategy in Washington, the Federal Regulatory Affairs group under Joe Hartsoe's direction will also report to Linda. Joe Hartsoe will also retain primary responsibility for NERC activities, although Charles Yeung and Dick Ingersoll will have a dotted line reporting relationship to Jim Steffes in his capacity of directing our activities for ENA. Ray Alvarez will be transferring from his current role with Transredes in Bolivia during the 1st quarter of 2001 and will join the Federal Regulatory Affairs group, reporting to Joe Hartsoe. On a personal note, I would like to acknowledge the significant contributions that Joe Hillings has made to this company in his eighteen years of service. Joe's work ethic, intellect, and integrity have established Enron as a company that is respected throughout Washington. I will have more to say about this as Joe's retirement draws closer, but I look to him to be a vital part of the leadership transition in our Washington office that will occur over the next days and weeks. I will be relying heavily on the above-identified six individuals to ensure that Government Affairs is firmly embedded within each of our operating companies; that we as a group thoroughly understand their current business strategies as well as new directions they may be taking in the future; and, most importantly, to thoroughly understand how our organization can contribute and add value to each of these companies on a continuing basis. Communicating that understanding on a regular basis to the rest of the Government Affairs organization and developing a Government Affairs wide execution strategy will be a key objective for each of these individuals. In order to ensure the success of these individuals and the Government Affairs organization; the following changes are being made. In addition to his leadership role with Government Affairs on behalf of the EES group of companies, Harry Kingerski will continue to head up the rates/regulatory group, now renamed Government Affairs Support Services. This group will continue to provide valuable technical support services throughout Government Affairs and will be expanding its scope of expertise over the next months to some of the new markets that the company has and will soon be entering. Nancy Hetrick and Vinio Floris will join this organization and report to Harry. Jeff Brown, Tom Delaney, Mary Hain, Ron McNamara, Christi Nicolay, Thane Twiggs, and Steve Walton will now report to Jim Steffes in his role supporting Enron North America and Enron Industrial Markets. Alberto Levy will be relocating from our Caracas, Venezuela office and will also report to Jim. A couple of special mentions: Jeff Brown has done an outstanding job in leading the CUBR (Coalition for Uniform Business Rules) process over the last year and his current leadership of the Midwest ISO and Alliance RTO efforts for Enron will be critical to the development of well functioning wholesale electric markets in the U.S. It is also my hope that Steve Walton will play an increased leadership role across North America on wholesale electric market issues. The incredible knowledge that Steve Walton possesses of the electric industry, coupled with his industry-wide credibility, will provide much needed support to our wholesale electric market reform efforts across North America. Tom Hoatson will now report to Steve Montovano in his new role in supporting the company's efforts at PJM. Tom will also continue to be an organization-wide resource on technical issues regarding generation interconnection and distributed generation. Kathleen Sullivan has recently joined Steve's group from Azurix and will be primarily assisting Howard Fromer in New York. Sue Nord will head up the group that supports EBS. Scott Bolton and Donald Lassere, while reporting to Sue, will continue to provide leadership on telecommunications issues. Scott and Donald have done outstanding work and will continue to be integral to our efforts in this area. Finally, the Resource Commitment Review (RCR) process, beginning 1/1/01, will be extended to all of Government Affairs in North America, including Federal Government Affairs and Mexico. The RCR Committee, beginning immediately, will be expanded and will consist of Harry Kingerski, Sue Nord, Linda Roberston, Jim Steffes, Lisa Yoho & myself. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions. Thank you
