RE: Marketing Affiliate Compliance

You know, Andy hasn't left the company--he's only on a leave of absence. Isn't it a little premature to push him out the NNG door so abruptly, after all he's done for us? In all seriousness, I'll defer to you guys to pick a replacement. Cindy sounds fine, but I would counsel you to get input from MKM and Joe Hartsoe just in case they have some concerns that Cindy would raise. Thanks. DF

Its appropriate to make the change. I will leave it up to you guys to choose the appropriate replacement (since I don't know Cindy). Thanks. Greg

Subject: Marketing Affiliate Compliance - Northern Natural

Drew and Greg,

Andy Fastow is currently shown in the organizational chart on Northern Natural's electronic bulletin board as "President, Northern Pipeline Sales Division". Apparently, he was named to this position because he was not an officer or director of one of our marketing affiliates and was also not an officer or director of Northern. This satisfied the requirements of the marketing affilate rule. Given recent personnel changes at Enron Corp., it's now necessary to find a replacement for Andy Fastow. Frazier King suggested Cindy Olson, who also is neither an officer or director of a marketing affiliate nor an officer or director of Northern. I wanted to run this by both of you before proceeding further. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
