Thanks. I have heard from just about all of Steve's reports about retainin=
g him. Steve was given the choice to stay at ETS. He made the choice that= was in his and Enron's best interest. Steve is a quality individual and a= n exceptional leader. His talents need to be showcased and I think he unde= rstood that. I appreciate your comments on Steve's replacement. We have f= inished the interviewing process and will make a choice in the next couple = of weeks or sooner. Your recommendation is appreciated. Thanks again for = the kind words. Stan -----Original Message----- From: =09Sawyer, Lisa =20 Sent:=09Friday, November 09, 2001 11:35 AM To:=09Horton, Stanley Subject:=09Organizational Items Stan, I know that you are overloaded with all the company issues, but I just want= ed to relay a few thoughts. First of all, thank you for the words of encou= ragement and confidence at your floor meeting. This is a very difficult ti= me for all of us, but you especially have a big burden. Your openness, hon= esty and confidence was very reassuring. Other thoughts on my mind are jus= t concerns about Steve Hotte leaving the organization given all the other c= hanges. Would it be possible for you to ask Steve to stay given the curren= t situation? I would think he would be very concerned about his change mov= ing into ENA right now. He might reconsider a move if you discuss it with = him. Finally, if it is best for him to move on, I feel it is extremely imp= ortant to have someone in that job that understands our business. I think = Steve's business knowledge and ability to work closely with the Commercial = group is what has made him so effective. The Technology group's greatest c= hallenge is never technology itself, but rather understanding the business = so that technology can be appropriately applied. I am aware that Brad Holm= es is on the short list and just want to say that I have been very impresse= d with him. He has very good knowledge of our business and has good techni= cal savvy. He has developed a very good working relationship with the IT o= rganization and I have enjoyed working with him. I would feel very good wi= th him in that position if we have to loose Steve. I understand there are = several other candidates to consider and that this will be a difficult deci= sion. I will certainly support and respect whatever decision you make. Th= anks for listening and I'll keep you in my prayers for strength as we work = through the toughest days that we have ever faced as Enron employees.
