Subject: Property Insurance Renewal 3/1/2001

Due to adverse loss experience the insurance market is "hardening" resulting
in higher rates and more restrictive terms and conditions. Property insurance
rates are generally rising for everyone and particularly those with poor loss
experience. Unfortunately, Enron falls in the latter category. In the past,
not withstanding our loss experience, Enron has enjoyed very competitive
rates and a deductible of $500,000 for both property damage and business
interruption (traditionally, property insurance policies contain a monetary
deductible for property damage plus a day waiting period for business
interruption (normally 30 to 90 days)). For the period 1993 through 2000
Enron paid premiums of approximately $114,100,000 and collected losses of
approximately $ 212,200.000. This trend is continuing under the current
policy which is expiring on 3/1/2001.

Current renewal terms being offered require an estimated premium of
$17,000,000 and a deductible of $5,000,000 per loss for property damage and
business interruption. This is the lowest deductible achievable unless we are
willing to accept a waiting period for business interruption.

Realising the potential costs and budgetary and contractual implications
associated with such a change, we are continuing negotiations and seeking
alternatives to the current renewal terms. However, we should all be prepared
for an increase in premiums and the level of loss which we retain through
deductibles. I will keep you advised as these negotiations progress.

Please forward this notice to all concerned parties within your group. If
there are any questions, please give me a call at ext. 36263.
