an apology

Kevin-

I need to apologize to you for speaking out-of-turn yesterday about
work-in-progress. Any model our group has of the natural gas system remains
completely untested and unvalidated. I have not been asked by any one of my
superiors, Vasant or Wince, to give advice to anyone at Enron concerning
natural gas; I am not an expert in trading natural gas. My work exists within
a large and professional group, and, to the point, Vince alone will decide
when, and if, any gas model is suitable for dissemination within Enron.

Sincerely,

Clayton Vernon
Manager, Research
