John Swafford spoke with David Vander in Wes' group last Tuesday and informed
him that, after reviewing matters, the Corp. State and Local Group had
reduced the charge to ENA from $821,000 to $321,000. This reduction goes far
to bringing costs in line with those from last year and, the remainder of the
increase, relates to the expansion of support at Corp. related to the
expansion of ENA's business. Best regards. Steve.

I spoke with Bob Hermann this afternoon and, in short, the single biggest
contributor to the increase in the corporate tax allocation relates to the
expansion of state and local tax support being provided to our new "business
verticals" - that is, Enron Global Markets, Enron Industrial Markets and
Enron Net Works - which expense should be specifically allocated to such
groups rather than ENA, as is currently the case. I will follow up with you
regarding the revised number after I have resolved the allocation issue.
Best regards. Steve.

Guys, I noticed that the corporate tax allocation to ENA has more than
doubled from 2000 forecast to 2001 plan ie) $1,600,000 from $700,000. Could
you please explain. Our goal which is being met in ENA's direct expense
groups is to remain flat year or year from 2000 to 2001.
