If organizational changes that are announced together are expected to be=20
bound together by a common theme, then this announcement may fall a bit=20 short. The continuing growth of the demands placed upon the Government=20 Affairs organization has, however, necessitated certain modest organization= al=20 shifts and additions, many of which have already occurred or have been in= =20 transition for the last several weeks. Rather than attempting to explain t= he=20 rationale for each change in this memo, instead, I will briefly describe th= em=20 (attached is a revised organizational chart and map), and offer to answer a= ny=20 questions anyone might have. While Sue Nord will continue to report directly to me in the role of policy= =20 development and coordination, she has been and will be spending a=20 considerable amount of her time on broadband and communications issues and= =20 will also report to Scott Bolton and Donald Lassere in that capacity. Steve Montovano will assume responsibility for an additional six southeaste= rn=20 states, including responsibility for SERC. Marchris Robinson and Tom=20 Chapman, who has agreed to join the group on a more permanent basis as a=20 Senior Regulatory Specialist, will report to Steve. Ron McNamara has also= =20 joined Steve=01,s group and will focus on the tight power pools in the Nort= heast=20 U.S. Janine Migden will assume responsibility for the states of Tennessee,=20 Arkansas, and Louisiana as well as issues related to TVA. Bill Moore will= =20 now report to Janine. In order to assure more intraregional coordination in the West, Mary Hain,= =20 who supports ENA=01,s trading desk in Portland, now reports to Paul Kaufman= . With Kathleen Magruder=01,s recent departure to ResCo, we are actively sear= ching=20 for an individual to direct our efforts in Texas and Oklahoma as well as ou= r=20 efforts at ERCOT and the Southeast Power Pool. Scott Bolton and Donald Lassere have each done an outstanding job supportin= g=20 Enron Broadband Services throughout the world these past months and will=20 share responsibility for directing those efforts in the Americas. They wil= l=20 also assume responsibility within the group for Enron=01,s E-Commerce effor= ts in=20 the Americas. In addition to Sue Nord, the group will consist of Tracy=20 McLaughlin, who supports Scott in Portland, Xi Xi, an analyst who joined us= =20 early this year in Houston and Lara Leibman who has just joined the group. = =20 Lara will also continue her activities relative to the Department of Justic= e=20 and the Federal Trade Commission. Ricardo Charvel, in addition to his responsibilities in Mexico, will assume= =20 overall responsibility for Central America, the Caribbean Basin as well as= =20 Columbia and Venezuela. Reporting to Ricardo are Alberto Levy, who is=20 primarily responsible for Venezuela and Columbia and Vinio Floris, who=20 recently joined us from Azurix, who will be primarily responsible for Centr= al=20 America and the Caribbean Basin. Tom Delaney will now report to Jeff Brown and will support him in our=20 continuing efforts to bring additional reform and standardization to=20 wholesale power markets in the U.S. Damon Harvey has also joined Jeff=01,s= =20 group as an analyst. Gloria Ogenyi, Thane Twiggs and Robert Neustaedter have all joined Harry=20 Kingerski=01,s group to enhance that group=01,s ability to provide rates an= d other=20 regulatory services throughout the Americas. With Tom Reichelderfer=01,s departure, Susan Covino will be the sole coordi= nator=20 for the government affairs group=01,s contractual relationship with ResCo. = =20 Susan will also begin to get involved in other projects over the next sever= al=20 weeks. The Federal Government Affairs group organization will have a flatter=20 organizational structure with each individual in the group reporting direct= ly=20 to Joe Hillings. Functional assignments, which are reflected on one of the= =20 attachments, have also been made in this group to bring additional focus to= =20 their efforts, with an increased emphasis on issues related to our energy,= =20 broadband services and e-commerce-based business activities and a refocusin= g=20 of the group=01,s efforts in support of commercial groups globally to bette= r=20 align them with the near and mid-term objectives of the regional commercial= =20 groups throughout the world. On a separate note, Tom Briggs will be joini= ng=20 the Federal Government Affairs group in Washington early this summer. We a= re=20 pleased to have Tom, who has most recently been in London in the Enron Euro= pe=20 Government Affairs group, join the Federal Government Affairs team. Please join me in welcoming, congratulating, and wishing well the individua= ls=20 noted in this memo.=20 One final thought. As we are quickly approaching the mid-point of the yea= r=20 2000, we must stay constantly focused on our overall group objectives for= =20 the year as well as on our respective regional group objectives (see attach= ed=20 'Top 10' objectives for U.S. & Canada). With that said, the hard work and= =20 dedication of so many individuals in the group does not go unnoticed. As t= he=20 group has grown, it has become increasingly difficult for me to visit the= =20 regions as frequently as I once did and to spend as much time on an=20 individual basis with many of you. My respect, gratitude and affection for= =20 the people in this group only grows, however, with time. Our collective=20 task, while both challenging and intellectually stimulating, is also quite= =20 daunting with both ever growing burdens and opportunities as the company=20 continues to grow and prosper. We must continue to work hard to meet our= =20 objectives, but we must also find a way to keep our work and jobs in their= =20 proper perspective and to have fun during the journey. Whatever I can do t= o=20 help meet those objectives I will do, and, of course, am always open to=20 suggestions in that regard. =20 Thank you
