Let it go. Ken is PR, and PR only. There are also calls where substance is
discussed. Ken can't do that. Susan J Mara 03/12/2001 06:38 PM To: Jeff Dasovich/NA/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: Re: Ken Sue Mara Enron Corp. Tel: (415) 782-7802 Fax:(415) 782-7854 ----- Forwarded by Susan J Mara/NA/Enron on 03/12/2001 04:38 PM ----- Paul Kaufman@ECT 03/12/2001 04:21 PM To: Susan J Mara/NA/Enron@ENRON cc: Janel Guerrero/Corp/Enron@Enron Subject: Re: Ken O.K. Just received Janel's call re: Sue's concerns with utlizing Ken for PR calls. Here are my thoughts: (1) There are three, and only three, purposes for spending money on the IEP, ARM and Direct Access Coalition efforts and thus three, and only three reasons, for covering the IEP, ARM, and Direct Access Coalition calls. The three reasons are: (a) to find out what these various Coalitions are doing; (b) to try and influence what they are doing so their activities advance our interests; and © to coordinate what they are doing with what we are doing so we aren't wasting time, money or opportunities. If these purposes are not being met, then let's stop wasting our time and money on these efforts (and the associated phone calls). (2) From my standpoint, to meet these four purposes we need to have: (a) somebody on the calls consistently that can advance our interests and answer questions when asked; (b) somebody on the call that knows what we are doing in our national, California, and New York efforts; © somebody preparing an email explaining what was discussed on the calls; and (d) Janel coordinating what happens on the calls with what is going on in our national, Calilfornia, and New York efforts. (3) The only question given the above is: "who can meet our purposes in participating in the IEP, ARM and Direct Access Coalition efforts." Originally I thought Ken was the person, because Ken is a PR person that we can count on (because we are paying him) to participate regularly in the calls and e-mail reports. (4) Given Sue's concerns, I certainly don't object to Sue handling the calls. However, we need to be consistent in our participation or be satisfied with inconsistent coverage. It makes no sense to me to have Ken assigned sporadically to participate in calls that Sue can't participate in due to a conflict. California is moving too quickly and too unpredictably for sporadic participation to provide any value.

Just realize that I try to cover the same calls. There is also someone from ARM's PR firm, Edelman, covering the IEP calls. Sue Mara Enron Corp.

We agreed that it would be a good idea for Ken to cover the IEP and Direct Access Coalition calls, meetings, etc. and report back to us about any conclusions reached. All future assignments for Ken should be coordinated through Janel.
