As Mike and I look across all of our business units, we continue to look for
optimal organizational structures that will enable each business unit to
achieve it's targets for 2001 and beyond. In our weather business, there
appears to be a lack of seamlessness. Reporting relationships, P&L, and
vision for this business are not best alligned as this business exists
today.

Mike and I would like to address this as follows: all employees in the
weather business will now become full time employees of EGM and report to
Mark Tawney. We need 100% full time dedication from each of these employees
in the weather business. Accordingly Mark and I will be looking at, with
each of you, the employees that may be affected by this transition. It is
important that both business units work together to determine which
individuals will be in Weather, or will be in EEL. Once done, Mark will
begin adding to the weather team in each of your regions. It is obvious
that the organizations and product lines can lever each other and the
synergies will provide powerful results in our regional gas and power
businesses in particular.

If you look at coal, lng, equities, etc, we have employees based in each of
your regions who report back into the appropriate business unit within EGM.
This restructure will similarly align weather.
