through the Regulatory report and iniatives.

Subject: Opposing PUHCA Stand-Alone

Dave -

FYI.

While comprehensive electricity reform legislation looks very dead, there are
those that are pushing "stand-alone" legislation before Congress. Attached
is a letter that Enron will sign on to that opposes stand-alone PUHCA
reform. This bill is being pushed by Mid-American.

Government Affairs continues to oppose all stand-alone legislation.
Basically our only real leverage is to keep PUHCA, PURPA, reliability, and
wholesale access legislation linked in a comprehensive bill. This may incent
the holdouts to agree to our needs.

If you need any additional information, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jim

Subject: PUHCA letter

Unless we hear concerns from you, we plan to lend Enron's name to the
attached letter to the Congressional leadership opposing the MidAmerican
attempt to pass modified, stand-alone PUHCA repeal. Others signing-on so far
include: ELCON, TAPS, Calpine, City Utilities of Springfield, Consumers for
Fair Competition, Missouri River Energy Services, and Northern California
Power Agency. The letter is to be sent Thursday, September 21st so please
advise if you have concerns no later than close of business the day before.

Thanks.
