City of Chicago Deal

A phone call was held today. Some issues / actions from the call ---

1. Right now it appears that this would be announced around June 5 at the
Mayor's regular press meeting. Checking this out. Need to make sure that PR
will be able to cover the meeting and answer any background the press may
have on us.

2. Deal team wants Enron PR to meet with DEP PR next week (May 30?) to begin
working up the Mayor's statement on the benefits of this transaction. Should
we have a Govt Affairs person at the meeting to pick up the "politics" of the
message? Just a thought.

3. No one really wants to hire any outside PR support. Everyone was
comfortable with Peggy and her team taking the lead. Don't want to appear
that Enron is "selling" the deal. The deal is good and we should let it
speak for itself. Does everyone agree?

4. We are looking for a consultant to support us on MWBE issues. This
should be done (at least contracted) by June 1.

5. What have we told outside political support about this deal (eg, Piper,
Marbury)? Sue Landwehr and Roy we need to make sure that you have some time
the week of June 5 to cover any political issues that may arise. Can we
coordinate our schedules?

Thanks,

Jim
