Dr. Kenneth L. Lay
Chairman & C.E.O. Enron Corporation Dear Dr. Lay: I am writing to bring your attention to an important and timely event that will be held on September 20th at the Hyatt Regency Columbus, in Columbus, Ohio - "The Governors' Natural Gas Summit: Responding to the Challenge." This event is convened by the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC).? Co-chaired by Alaska Governor Tony Knowles, IOGCC Chairman and Ohio Governor Bob Taft, with the participation of other governors, this forum promises to be an outstanding exchange of ideas among leaders of government, energy producers, transporters, distributors, and end-users on the subject of the current and long-term outlook for natural gas resources and markets in North America. A very distinguished group of speakers is assembling, including senior government officials and senior executives of companies critically involved in the energy value chain. Primary Goals of the Summit include: * Exploring and clearly communicating the current dynamics of the natural gas market * Informing the industry and the public about the current and future supply potential for gas * Providing governmental and industry leaders with an opportunity to discuss natural gas in the context of national energy policy, with the input of interested State Governors. The Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC) and the governors have asked CERA to help organize the Summit and has invited senior CERA staff to moderate panel discussions on the Natural Gas Marketplace and the Supply Response for North America. In addition, I will be providing an opening framework for participants and contributing to the wrap-up of the Summit at the close of the day with the governors.? We are very pleased to be working with the governors and with the IOGCC and its executive director, Christine Hansen. We hope that you can join us for this important event, and encourage you to view the Summit agenda on the IOGCC Web-site at: http://www.iogcc.state.ok.us/MEETINGS/2000_Governors_Natural_Gas_Summit.htm? On this site, you will also find complete registration information including fees, registration form, and logistics. You may also be interested in a recent Washington Post article on volatility in the gas and power markets, which helps provide a context for the discussion and which was co-authored by CERA Managing Director Tom Robinson and myself. This article may be found on the Washington Post Web-site at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A18653-2000Jul20.html Should you have any questions regarding the Summit or CERA's participation, please contact my colleague Ron Kapavik at +1 936 931 1416 or via e-mail to rkapavik@cera.com. Sincerely, Dan Yergin Chairman, Cambridge Energy Research Associates **************************************************************** Our relationship with you is very important to us.?
