For the near- to medium-term, David will focus his efforts on supporting your
needs, Jim, as you identify them, in the Asian market only, with close
(emphasis) coordination with Donald Lassere. thanks for the input, Jim, and
the valuable observations. Let me know if there is anything else you need.
thanks mcs

Subject: Reallocation/redeployment of David Merrill

Mark,

I tried reaching you by phone but understand you're traveling. A quick note
about redeployment ideas for David Merrill (Gov't Affairs - Asia). I've
worked with David previously at EI/APACHI and can't say enough good things
about him. David and I have discussed some ideas for his redeployment over
the past week but I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you about
utilizing his services and skills.

Strengths:
1. Former Ambassador - he has opened many doors for me in Asia (both in EBS
and EI).
2. Enron view - David has kept me informed about many communications issues
in Asia over the past 6 months (eg. recommended and provided assistance on
EBS joining the APEC group on telecommunications in Washington, DC).
3. Understands deregulation issues and can quickly distill technology issues
of communications.
4. Thinks about issues from the commercial perspective.

Recommendations:
1. I believe he is the type of person we should invest in to be part of the
communications/EBS world.
2. He could be trained by Donald Lassere (who is fantastic and one of the
best hires for Enron in a long time).
3. Redeployment to EBS (full or part-time) for Asia, Europe, Wash DC, or
Houston.

Thanks, Jim
