Scott,
I shall attend. Vince Enron North America Corp. From: Scott Tholan 08/01/2000 04:49 PM Sent by: Sharon Purswell To: John J Lavorato/Corp/Enron@Enron, Jeffrey A Shankman/HOU/ECT@ECT, Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT, Greg Whalley/HOU/ECT@ECT, Steven J Kean/HOU/EES@EES, Jim Fallon/Enron Communications@Enron Communications, Russell Woody/Enron Communications@Enron Communications, John Brindle, David Oxley/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Alan Aronowitz/HOU/ECT@ECT, Mark E Haedicke/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Economic Espionage Act Presentation - August 15th You are cordially invited to attend a presentation entitled: "Acquiring Information: Trade Secrets and the Economic Espionage Act (EEA)". Daniel Waltz, of the law firm Patton Boggs LLP, is a leading expert on the EEA and will deliver what promises to be an interesting and informative segment. Congress passed the EEA in 1996, and it will increasingly shape how corporate America collects, uses, and protects valued information. In addition to explaining some of the intricacies of the EEA, Dan Waltz will include "hypothetical" corporate case studies (some actually torn from the headlines) to illustrate his points. This event is sponsored by ENA's Competitive Analysis and Business Controls (CABC) group and is supported by ENA legal. This event kicks-off CABC's Competitive Intelligence Standards Program, which seeks to raise awareness of issues relevant both to Enron's practitioners and senior consumers of competitive intelligence. This particular speaking engagement is designed to raise awareness of the EEA's legal guidelines, as well as to stimulate thought both on the collection opportunities against our competitors as well as how we might better protect Enron's own proprietary information. I believe the topic of the EEA is especially relevant, given that we find ourselves amidst the big bang of this new information age. All CABC staff is being asked to attend this presentation, and we are inviting a small number of other Enron employees who are engaged in aspects of serious competitive intelligence. Select executives like yourselves are being invited to attend, and I would welcome any suggestions of others that you think might benefit from attending this event. The EEA presentation is set for August 15, 1:30-3:00 PM, in the 50th floor Conference room. Please RSVP to either myself or Sharon Purswell. Hope to see you there. P.S. By the way, our next speaker segment in the CI Standards Program will concentrate on the guidelines and implications of the "Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)," and will likely be scheduled for the fall.
