EOTT's bylaws currently require that we have a Chairman of the Board. As a
result of amendments to the bylaws that were made in 1994, the duties of the Chairman of the Board are quite limited. The bylaws provide that "the Chairman of the Board shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders and of the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board shall act as a liaison between the officers of the Corporation and the Board of Directors."

There appear to be no other changes. Suggest the four of us discuss the " Board Chairman" situation as soon as possible. I have a call into Baird to explore (1) whether we need a Board Chairman per se, and (2) whether there will be any "disclosure" issues around Ted stepping down as Board Chairman.

I would like to see a draft today. Walt Zimmerman 05/04/00 06:49 PM To: Michael Burke/Houston/Eott@Eott cc: Stanley Horton/Corp/Enron@Enron, Steve Duffy/Houston/Eott@Eott Subject: Annual Election of EOTT Directors and Committees Prior to the distribution of materials for the May 15 EOTT Board of Directors meeting, the sole shareholder (Enron Liquids Holding Corp.) needs to reelect EOTT's Board of Directors. This will be accomplished by a written consent that will be executed on behalf of Enron Liquids Holding Corp. Also, at the May 15 meeting, EOTT's directors will elect the members of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee for the next year. Are you aware of any changes to the EOTT Board, the Audit Committee, or the Compensation Committee? In some past years, Ted Gaylord has polled the outside directors to ensure that they intended to continue their service on EOTT's Board and committees. If you would like, I will ask Ted to poll the outside directors again this year as to their intentions for continued service. Also, we need to start preparing an agenda for the May 15 meeting. If you would like, I will forward to you tomorrow a draft agenda that is based on last year's "annual meeting" agenda. Please let me know your thoughts on these matters. Thanks.
