Subject:RE: Draft Letter to Congress on Wynn Reliability Legislation

As discussed, should Congress upon its return after the Labor Day recess
appear ready to move H.R. 4941, Congressman Wynn's stand-alone reliability
legislation; a large group of stakeholders would sign and send the attached
letter. Although Enron would like the letter to be stronger, this letter
went through many revisions to reach the consensus language necessary for a
larger group to sign. Thus, while not a perfect letter, it would send a
stronger message with a multitude of signatures.

The status of the letter is that it is being "held in our back pocket" should
it become necessary. Pre-approval has been given and it stands in an
"almost" final form. Should you have any grave problems with the letter, let
me know, and I will see what's possible given the constraints posed by the
group.

On a separate but related note, we are working with Joe and Dan to prepare a
short white paper to detail the "technical problems" still remaining with the
Wynn legislative language and will communicate these problems, Enron's
opposition and lack of bill "consensus" to the Hill shortly (as soon as this
paper is ready.) I believe ELCON, EPSA and CMA will continue to share our
opposition although confusion remains on the Hill as to the exact reasons for
our opposition given the numerous versions of the legislation circulating.
thanks.
