Lay Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Enron Corporation Dear Mr. Lay: The Earth Times/Conference News Daily has been invited to publish daily print and Web editions at the upcoming Ministerial Meeting of the World Trade Organization in Doha, November 9-13, 2001. These daily editions--which will supplement WTO and Qatar's extraordinary efforts to ensure the success of the meeting--will be distributed to delegates each morning at their hotels, and also at the Doha Conference Center. As you know, this critical meeting will consider the admission of China, and also decide on launching a new round of trade talks. It will attract thousands of top officials from government, industry, diplomacy, as well as media representatives. We will also simultaneously publish daily editions in New York, as the United Nations General Assembly reopens its fall meeting cancelled on September 11, and hosts heads-of-state from November 10-16. President George W. Bush will lead world leaders in signaling a renewed drive against terrorism and launch a new initiative to jump-start global economic growth. Our newspaper will be the paper of record at both the WTO and General Assembly meetings. It is guaranteed to reach all participants, many of whom are eager readers from our coverage of major international conferences for more than a decade, including UN gatherings and the annual meeting of the World Economic Foorum in Davos, Switzerland. Our not-for-profit newspaper has made a mark as an independent, nonpartisan editorial voice on international economic, environmental and social issues. Our Chairman and Publisher is Mr. Theodore W. Kheel, the eminent lawyer and mediator. We plan to publish a total of ten daily editions in print and on the Web from November 8 through 17. We would very much like to invite Enron to sponsor these special editions either fully or in part, and to use our publication as an effective means of conveying your position on the critical issues that will be discussed to the audiences in Qatar and New York in a position to do something about them. Our overall budget for both the WTO and General Assembly meetings is US$150,000. Enron could contribute any amount it wishes. In exchange, you will get front-page mention each day, plus a four-color ad in every issue. I would be most obliged for your consideration. Please be assured of the utmost cooperation of our newspaper and myself. With thanks again for your continuing support, and my highest personal regards, Yours sincerely, Pranay Editor-in-Chief and President ______________________ Pranay Gupte President and Editor-in-Chief Conference News Daily / The Earth Times 205 East 42nd Street, Suite 1316 New York, NY 10017 (USA) E-Mail: pranaygupte@aol.com Telephone: 1-212-297-0488, ext 17 Fax: 1-212-297-0566 ---- Chairman and Publisher: Theodore W.
