Steve -- Here is background for the Japan Public TV interview on Thursday
morning. Per your request, I asked Nick and Mika for the information and got this back from Mika on behalf of both. It's a pretty comprehensive memo, and I know you're busy, but it appears to be a lot of Japan perspective that you could benefit from going in. Vance ----- Forwarded by Vance Meyer/NA/Enron on 01/31/2001 08:10 AM ----- Mika Watanabe 01/31/2001 04:12 AM To: Vance Meyer/NA/Enron@ENRON cc: Nicholas O'Day/AP/Enron@Enron, Jackie Gentle/LON/ECT@ECT Subject: NHK Interview Briefing Vance, I attached a briefing material for Steve which contained major soundbites, key messages and some Japan-related issues that may be relevant for the NHK interview. Some points in this material overlap with the Nikkei briefing material which Nick gave to Steve two weeks ago. I have refrained from including some bullet points on our activities in Japan, because Joseph Hirl, Enron Japan President and CEO, did an interview with NHK yesterday for the same program. NHK's interview with Steve would likely focus on California, because many of its questions on Enron Japan's businesses here were answered by Joe. NHK plans to combine Steve and Joe's interviews for the same program. If you have any questions, please call me at 813-5219-4581 tomorrow morning our time or Wednesday afternoon your time. best regards, Mika From: Vance Meyer on 01/30/2001 05:14 PM CST To: Nicholas O'Day/AP/Enron@Enron, Mika Watanabe/AP/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: URGENT REQUEST Steve Kean will be interviewing with Japanese Public Television on Thursday morning to complement the work that has already been done on this project in Japan. Steve is being asked to talk about deregulation, specifically the lessons learned from the California crisis and how Japan might do it differently. Steve asked me to contact both of you regarding Common messages being emphasized on the Japan end. Any difficult issues to be aware of, such as biases the network might bring to this topic or potentially unanticipated questions that we might encounter. Also, Steve didn't ask for this, but it might be helpful if you could send a few bullet points on our current activity, intentions and progress in Japan. Thank you very much. Again, I'll need it today (your time) if possible as the interview is Thursday morning Houston time. Vance Meyer Director, Media Relations 713 345 4459
