Mr. Lay, I have received the proposal from Gulstream and will drop it off
today. As you probably already know, the flight from Beijing was a record
first for the GV into Houston.

I have met and discussed the possibility of the GV replacing a 900B or a
total fleet transition at length with John Stabler, Ron Fain and Keith
Jones. I have prepared a spread sheet showing the affect on budget as well
as our thoughts and recommendations.

Although the cabin size of the Global Express is larger, Gulfstream is a good
two years ahead of the Global in deliveries and fleet size. They have
overcome the mechanical problems that were experienced earlier in the
program, problems that the Global Express may still be facing. Worldwide
support and operational experience have the Gulfstream far ahead of the
Global Express.

Bombardier is still looking forward to demonstrating their aircraft to you on
your India trip in December.

All of us at the department stand ready to do whatever you feel necessary to
support Enron into the new millennium.
