I am ok with it so long as you don't spend much time at it. If there is a
material time commitment or the company is competing head to head with Enron,
then it would be a problem. Mark

Subject: Code of Ethics - Notice of Potential Conflict of Interest

Mark - back in June you and I had a brief discussion re: the topic below.
Nexus has now extended a formal invitation for me to join their board so
complying with the Code of Ethics I sent the e-mail below to Sharon Butcher
this morning. She responded by asking if I'd discussed this with you and I
relayed the essence of our brief conversation and forwarded to her the first
e-mail I'd sent to you. Call if you have any questions. x33212.

Sharon - eight years ago before coming to work for Enron, I was a partner in
a cogen development company which we sold in 1993. It was through that
company that I developed a relationship with Enron and subsequently came to
work here in 1993.

Since coming to Enron, I have maintained regular contact and networks with
several of my former partners. One of them, Barry Curtiss-Lusher, started up
his own oil and gas exploration and production company, Nexus Resources, in
Denver. Barry has recently asked me to join his Board of Directors.
Reviewing the Enron Code of Ethics (specifically, page 57, July 2000 edition)
I wanted to provide the following information:

Nexus Resources, 650 S. Cherry St., Suite 420, Denver, CO 80246
Barry Curtiss-Lusher, President/CEO
privately owned
principle business is oil and gas exploration and production in various
basins throughout the U.S., primarily in Louisiana, Kansas and the Rocky
Mountain states

My role as a Board member would be similar to any other Board role with
regular meetings on a quarterly basis (teleconferencing is permitted under
Nexus' bylaws) with all expenses, if any, paid by Nexus. Currently, Nexus
does not pay any cash stipend to its Directors. It does, however, compensate
Board members with Nexus stock. Additionally, I would be making a minor
personal investment in Nexus stock.

Pursuant to the Enron Code of Ethics, I would/will NOT be performing any
managerial, professional or other duties which would interfere with my own
specific job performance at Enron. Nor is Nexus currently involved in any
business which competes, directly or indirectly, with that of Enron Corp. or
any of its subsidiaries.

Although I have been nominated and approved by the current Board of Directors
of Nexus Resources, I have NOT yet accepted the position pending resolution
and approval by Enron Management pursuant to the Code of Ethics. Please let
me know if you have any questions regarding the information above and/or what
other steps need to be taken.
