Enron Mail |
What an interesting idea. I worked at Williams for 5 years (pipeline and
telecom), and am pretty familiar with how they operate. If you believe that it would strengthen our chances to have them as a co-plaintiff, without significant risk to us, then let's invite them in. I don't think we are at risk of disclosing any competitive information that Williams doesn't already know about us (but, clients, please let me know immediately if you disagree), and I know that you will keep each of Williams' and Enron's confidential information separate and private. I wonder how their entry would affect the time we need to put on our case? I also wonder if there is enough to bring them in and still have a polished presentation? If you decide this would be best for Enron, then unless you hear otherwise from me, invite them in.

Kenton, I have been snooping around a little and learned that yesterday Williams Pipeline had a dispute with Mears. They were working around their gas pipeline and parked a cat on it without providing notice to Williams. I thought I would subpoena the Williams employee to substantiate our experience with Broadwing. We represent Williams in a number of things, and I am currently condemning an easement in Colorado for Williams. So I made a courtesy call to their legal department regarding the subpoena. The folks at Williams tell me that they may be interested in joining the lawsuit if they could do that by Monday. Broadwing will be crossing their pipelines and communication lines five more times in Wyoming, and they have real concerns based upon their experience so far. I assume that Williams is a competitor of Enron in some respects, and advised that I would not do so without Enron's permission. I don't believe there would be any conflict on our end, and I think the companies would be aligned. It might also make a stronger impression on the court to have another plaintiff. They have not made a decision yet, but to get the ball rolling I told them I would discuss the issue with you. Please give me your thoughts.
