This is the first that I have heard about this deal. Maybe Brian could call
me tomorrow as well to discuss this transaction. I will do some more
checking around in the meantime to see if I can find anything out about this
deal.

Regards,

Pat

Sara, I too do not have any information on the old swap. However, I would
like to get copies of any documents for review that relate to any new swap.

Thanks,

Rick

RE the message attached from Brian Swinford, Lynn advises that you are
familiar with CIESA (I am not!). I don't know anything about a prior
interest rate swap. By copy of this e-mail I am asking Pat Cini to suggest
how we might proceed. If you have further information, please let us know.
Thanks. Sara

Sara,

Bruce Harris gave me you name as a contact for getting a copy of Enron's
approved ISDA documentation. I am looking a helping our 50% owned
subsidiary, CIESA do an interest rate swap to fix rates on its $220MM
floating rate note agreement. The existing swap which was done in 1997 runs
off on 10/22/99. The tax department here at Enron (South America) have asked
me to let them review any swap documentation we plan on entering into
beforehand so they can look at any tax issues (i.e., tax law changes that may
have occured since the last swap was done).

I am not sure what documentation was used the last time around - I have asked
the financial folks at TGS which manages the CIESA FRN on behalf of Enron and
Perez Companc to send me a copy of whatever documentation was used before as
a starting place but haven't heard back from them. Do you happen to have any
information on the previous swap?

I am on my way to Dallas for the day. I will give you a call tomorrow to
check in. Thanks.

BRS
