Just a reminder....
Please advise the Rate & Currency Trading Desk when large deals are going to
be booked by 1:30 P.M. (CST). This allows the desk to hedge the deal for
interest rates on the same day that the trade is booked in the commodity
books. This eliminates Enron's exposure to markets on the following day for
these large deals.

If the Rate & Currency Trading Desk is not notified of large deals prior to
1:30 P.M., the desk will hedge the interest-rate exposure the next day on a
best efforts basis. On these deals, any resulting profit or loss in excess
of $20,000 will be passed back to the originating group by the trading desk.

We request that the book adminstrator advise Clara Carrington, 3-9224, and
the Traders should be advising Pushkar Shahi, 3-9199, or Ellen Su, 3-5256, on
the Rate & Currency Trading Desk. Europe should contact Shane Dallman,
3-4997. in the London office.

Ellen has put together some guidelines which you can share with your traders
regarding the sizing for large deals. This is included below.

Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sheila

Guidelines:
The following is a guide to the profit/loss levels in various tenors that
would require notification of the interest-rate desk.

Tenor Notional Cash Flows
2y 30,000,000
3y 20,000,000
5y 15,000,000
10y 10,000,000
15y 7,000,000
20y 5,000,000

Please remember that these amounts are not cumulative. Each bucket needs to
be evaluated alone, and then aggregated. For example, if you had a -30mm
notional cash flow in the 2-year bucket and it is offset by a +30mm notional
cash flow in the 20-year bucket, the result would still be very significant
as the net long cash flow position would still be around +25mm 20-year cash
flows.

As always, if you are ever unsure, we are more than happy to look at
deals/curve changes to determine significance. Thanks.
