Re: A/A program question

Gwyn:

Just because the A/A program does not have a contract does not mean
that Enron does not. Do you have a telephone number for Melly's
and I will call them directly and ask her if she has a contract.

Thanks!

Vince,

The A/A program does not have a contract in place with Melly Language
Services. It appears that by the note below from my contact in the A/A-HR
department, the reimbursement policy appears to be driven by department, not
Enron at large.

As I mentioned earlier, if I continue with my current tutor, but outside of
the Melly Language Services, the cost to the department will decrease for me
to take French classes.

Pls advise if Research will be able to continue to fund my lessons.

Many thanks,

Gwyn Koepke

Gwyn,

In the past the Associate & Analyst program use to pick-up the cost for the
classes, but they stopped doing so effective 1/99. (Although, some business
units decided to continue paying for it - you may want to double check with
your business unit to whether or not they have a contract. The A/A dept does
not.) Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you for your patience.
Sincerely,
Ivonne Brown

Subject: A/A program question

Ivonne,

I am currently enrolled in a french language class thru Enron and Melly's
Language Services, and my group is paying the cost directly.

I am considering quitting the Melly's Language Program in favor of an outside
private tutor, for a number of reasons. It will be cheaper too.

I would like to know:

1. Does Enron have a contract in place with Melly's Language Service, to be
the exclusive provider of language services to Enron?

2. Will Enron pay the costs of my language classes if they are held outside
of the Melly contract (if any)?

I just want to make sure that if I decide to "drop out" of the Melly classes
and sign up for other private tutoring courses, which will be less expensive
than the Melly Svc, that Enron will not have a problem picking up the tab.
Vince Kaminski, the MD, wants to know this, to ensure there is no legal
restriction on who must provide these language services in order to secure
Enron reimbursement.

Thanks for your help.
