Ketan,
I do not know who Mike spoke to at Morgan Stanley. Do you agree that this is
a statement that Morgan, Stanley would make? Would you please run the traps
at Morgan to confirm but do not provide any info to Trading Edge until
confirmed by me after I have received notification from Enron Legal that they
are okay with this approach. Ketan, Mike Fowler will send you, Sara and I
the name of whom he spoke with.
Thanks. Sheila

Sara,
What do you think?

As you are aware, Jeff Kinneman would like to establish agreements for ENA
and ECT Investments to begin online bond trading with Buy Side Direct and
Trading Edge. Given that we will not provide 1) financial statements for ENA
and ECT Investments, or 2) a guarantee from Enron Corp., Trading Edge has
requested information from our prime broker Morgan Stanley in order to
determine a limit for our Trading Edge activity.

We intend to ask Trading Edge to establish a $25 million daily trading limit
for our activity. Based on a discussion with Trading Edge, it appears that
they would accept a qualitative statement from Morgan Stanley that this is
not excessive based on our relationship with Morgan Stanley. Our account rep
informed me that Enron has approximately $400 million of equity under
management with Morgan Stanley. Jeff prefers not to provide specific trading
statistics to Trading Edge, but would be comfortable with having Morgan
Stanley state that our holdings are well in excess of the proposed daily
trading limit. In addition, Morgan Stanley referred to a letter of good
standing that they could provide on our behalf to Trading Edge.

Our Morgan Stanley rep wanted to ensure that any request for information be
approved by your area. Who from your area should I work with on this matter ?

Please let me know if you would like to discuss. Thanks.

Mike
