RIchard - here is Joe's E-mail. Joe - Richard called me today and said the
letter was okay except to the extent it might tip off any collateral legal
actions we may be taking.

Mary- I have briefly reviewed your re-write and will take it on the plane to
Houston.

The tone of the letter is still to Enron centered instead of Cal PX
centered. I think you began the process of softening the tone in your
rewrite, but I think we should go further. For example,

We recognised that that the Market Monitor has a difficult task of better
understanding the unintended consequences of new rules on the Market, and
Enron wants to help. When we met recently, we thought we were accomplishing
this shared goal. Now, as a consequence, you propose to publish a letter
that blames us for the problems on the __________ and may cause us to be sued
based on your findings. As we prepare to defend ourselves, we find ourselves
at a disadvantage because the severak conclusions and factual findings are
not supported and we need a better understanding of how you reached several
of the conclusions in your letter. As we discussed, I believe a meeting to
discuss these matters would be helpful to reaching a mutually acceptable
resolution. After this meeting, Enron can promptly provide a response that
better addresses your concerns, as may be necessary. We would like to help
the market monitor in these endeavours, but we cannot continue to be placed
at a disadvantage through those efforts. ...

In addition, we need to add Walley as the contact instead of Richard.

Subject: Important - Letter to Cal PX

I agree with the concept of the short letter. I have drafted some changes:
some taking more of a conciliatory tone and others suggesting a potential
settlement proposal. Due to all the PRC meetings today, I was unable run
this by anyone, so this product is simply my suggestions.
