It is my fervent hope that the lawyers give your group and other Enron entities the go ahead to speak publicly before more hearings and other public forums are scheduled. Otherwise, it makes it so hard on you and other innocents to be painted with a broad brush and thus continue to get villified with "the bad apples" by the media. However, you have an impeccable reputation of honesty, integrity, intelligence, sound judgement, so it's merely a matter of time before you and the innocents can set the record straight. But keep telling them the time for message management is NOW! Last week, NBC assigned one of their veteran political reporters to the Enron story, and she displayed a woeful paucity of understanding about the world of finance. The resulting story was detrimental to the innocents and wouldn't have happened, were the various E groups permitted to manage their stories. I hope your meetings today and tomorrow are productive for your team! Keep the faith! (And yes, I'm reading everything I can get my hands on.)

I had read it along with many others. These read awful but how else could they read when one considers the final result. It is all so sad. Believe me, we, Enron, had some bad apples in the financial department and they were there long enough to do the damage for all but themselves. So, now we simply wait for "time to tell" the full story. I met all day yesterday with "the lawyers" working with the independent directors and "they said" not to worry but one has to worry when he reads hundreds of articles like the one you E-mailed to me. Keep thinking and reading for me as you may soon become my PR agent. And, have a happy holiday. John
