A Message from Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling

With deep regret we announce that Joe Sutton, Vice Chairman of Enron, has
decided to leave the company. Joe has indicated his desire to pursue other
opportunities in the energy asset development and operations business.

Joe has been instrumental in making Enron a global company. We will miss his
energy and enthusiasm. We wish Joe the very best as he pursues new endeavors.

Ken and Jeff
