Re: regulatory support

Have also today spoken to Anthony Duenner, finally. I am afraid the message
for David is that we should be thinking about his exit. I cannot see much
mileage in putting him in front of Cliff. Do you agree that we should be
discussing exit package? thanks mcs

Mark,

Thanks for your note. It's a common misconception that we will be mostly
working on asset disposition. Our focus will be on the efficient operation
of the assets, cleaning up problems, finishing projects etc. The sales
efforts will be conducted through Cliff Baxter's group with support from us.
So, I don't believe that I will need the type of effort that you believe
David can provide and I have no other need for him at this juncture. Cliff
may feel that he has the need for David. By the way, my experience with
David when he worked for APAChi was that he had not learned much about the
business and therefore was not terribly helpful to us as we were
restructuring the group or when we were in a build mode in Thailand.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Regards,
Rebecca

With your new organisation, I expect that you will have issues that will
require support from my team, covering everything outside the Americas (Rick
Shapiro providing support in the Americas). Any thoughts either of you have
regarding what your requirements might be would be helpful. My understanding
is that a fair bit of your effort will be focussed on asset disposition. If
that is correct, I want to run one idea by you. We still have David Merrill
posted as an expat in Singapore. He is not working out as support for EBS
(totally new field to him). What are your thoughts on David returning to the
energy arena, and focussing on flying around, as appropriate, to meet with
various governments, working to secure necessary approvals, as/when/if
needed? Seems to fit his skill sets, based on prior government experience
that he has.

A second person who could also fill this role, though he is looking at other
opportunities within Enron and may not be available, is Mike Dahlke.
Thoughts on this person for this role?
