Thaniks for the note. Christie is now organizing our university
relationships, so direct the communication to her. Thanks again David Merrill@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT 09/09/2000 05:59 AM To: Steven J Kean/NA/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: Fletcher School/Enron Dear Steve: Last month while at my reunion at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, some of the school officials told me that Enron has hired about eight Fletcher graduates recently and is happy with them. The school is also happy and wants to strengthen its relationship with Enron. They had earlier this year contacted a Laura Kalmans, Director of Community Development at Enron, to discuss various ideas for cooperation with Enron that would strengthen our capacity in environmental matters and give the students exposure to real world issues, but nothing happened and they lost contact. They asked me who they should contact to find out how to pursue this and I said I thought it might be you or someone under you. They now want to send a letter to someone at Enron on this proposal. It is OK if it is addressed to you or should I tell them another name? Please advise me how to steer them in the right direction. Many thanks.

Thank you for generously offering to help us explore this connection. We believe there are strong synergies between Professor Bill Moomaw's International Environment and Resource Policy program and Enron's business model. There is currently a strong recruiting relationship between Enron and Fletcher; there are nine Fletcherites at Enron at this time. I'm confident that our strong recruiting relationship is a solid first step from which to launch an even stronger partnership. In order to explore expanding this relationship Ms. Elise Kalmans, Director of Community Development, agreed to arrange a meeting for Bill and me last spring. Unfortunately, the scheduling did not work out, and Ms. Kalmans then began a maternity leave so we had trouble identifying a new point of contact. I appreciate your suggestion that we aim to work through Stephen Kean. As Senior Vice President for Public and Environmental and Government Affairs, he does sound like the ideal contact with whom to discuss Professor Moomaw's program and its students. How do you suggest we proceed? Should we send a letter from Interim Dean Trachtman to ask if Mr. Kean would be willing to meet with Professor Moomaw? May I mention that you suggested we write him? At Betsy's suggestion, I have attached the presentation outline we prepared for Enron, along with the letter we originally mailed to Elise. I would be very interested in any suggestions you may have. If you have any trouble opening the powerpoint file or word document, please let me know and I would be happy to mail or fax them. Thank you again for your kind offer of assistance. Sincerely, Laura Karch Associate Director, External Relations Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy 617-627-2720 - IERP enron.ppt - enron Kalmans.doc
