I know Jeff will have all of our strong support as he expands his= =20 role. Since I left for my wedding and honeymoon just before Thanksgiving nothin= g=20 has happened on the Sports Authority stuff - - -we are still awaiting some= =20 promised deliverables from Mr Campo. Yesterday I relit the fire on our V&E= =20 team to start nudging him gently. No action on your part needed at present = -=20 - -I'll keep you informed. I'll be pushing to get this resolved by mid=20 January in a manner that works for the Sports Authority and the financings= =20 without upseting our partners. - - -DLH Sent by: Enron Announcements@ENRON To: All Enron Worldwide cc: =20 Subject: Succession Plan It is my great pleasure to announce that the Board has accepted my=20 recommendation to appoint Jeff Skilling as chief executive officer, effecti= ve=20 at the time of their next board meeting on February 12, 2001. Jeff will al= so=20 retain his duties as president and chief operating officer. I will continu= e=20 as chairman of the Board and will remain at Enron, working with Jeff on the= =20 strategic direction of the company and our day-to-day global operations. Jeff will assume the role at a time when the company is hitting on all=20 cylinders and is positioned for phenomenal growth. He is clearly ready for= =20 the job, and after 15 years as CEO of this great company, I=01,m ready for = a=20 somewhat different role. Our succession plan has been clear for some time. This has afforded Jeff a= nd=20 me the freedom to combine our strengths toward building a company that=20 continues to exceed everyone=01,s expectations, including our own. We look= =20 forward to furthering that relationship as Jeff expands his role. There are no plans for any other changes in our management team nor broad= =20 shifts in strategy and direction. Please join me in congratulating Jeff. I look forward to a great 2001.
