One of the things I'd like to talk about next week is setting up a process to
funnel requests for Ken's time through ( Jeff andf Joe also), so that we're forwarding to him consensus high priority requests. Thanks. Joe Hillings@ENRON 02/07/2000 07:48 AM To: Kenneth Lay/Corp/Enron@Enron cc: Rosalee Fleming/Corp/Enron@Enron, Richard Shapiro/HOU/EES@EES, Mark Schroeder/LON/ECT@ECT, Steven J Kean/HOU/EES@EES Subject: OECD Meetings June 26-28, Paris Ken: While in Europe last week I arranged a meeting with Douglas Worth, Secretary General of the Business Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) to the OECD. Doug headed the Washington office of IBM until he retired a few years ago, then joined Carla Hills firm and two years ago became Secretary General of the BIAC. During his Washington service for IBM he headed up the Trade Committee of the United States Council for International Business to which we have long been a member. Doug and I discussed the promotion of energy services and he had several suggestions which I found to be excellent. He is a top level person who recommends policy to the OECD. He suggested that he would like to organize a meeting with you briefing OECD ministers and senior staff on business plans of today, changes in the market place and what is necessary to advance a business in today's atmosphere. Doug believes that having such a high level briefing advances the cause of business and competitive policies which is the priority of the OECD. He also called my attention to the OECD Forum 2000 to be held June 26-28 in Paris. Doug has offered to contact Dennis Lamb, another former Washingtonian in the diplomatic service who is arranging the program and if you are available he would ask that you be a primetime speaker. It covers the type of issues that you addressed at the WTO in Seatlle and the World Economic Forum in Davos. (I would dearly love to have a few minutes briefing from you on your Davos appearances). I think these presentations at the OECD, one a private luncheon with Ministers that Doug thinks would be an informal presentation and the possibility of a slot on the June 26-28 program would be excellent for our cause and hope that your schedule either in June or later can accommodate this opportunity. Joe PS: Doug and his eco-staff director Ms. Hanne Rosenbaum (she knows and has worked with John Palmisano) told me that one of their main themes this year is eco-efficiency which seems to fit our Enron goals.
