Subject:=09The aftermath of September 11th -- Enron Government Affairs

The events of September 11th are still very much with us and will conti=
nue to be for some time, perhaps for as long as we live. For those who have=
not heard me say this regarding air travel,individuals should avail themse=
lves of the travel services the company is offering in the way of guidance =
for those that are traveling and only travel by air for essential matters( =
until further notice). In addition, anyone who is currently uncomfortable =
with the notion of air travel need not do so...we will work around this fo=
r as long as the need exists. The company has also provided information on =
the availability of counseling services should anyone have the need- please=
contact HR or the Benefits Group for further information.
A final couple of notes: If there is a silver lining in the events of =
September 11th, it is the kindness, generosity, and humanity it brings out =
in the rest of us...I have seen this play out in untold ways in our "group"=
,both in London and at home, over the last nine days , including( to a per=
son) the absence of any hint of bias being shown towards the individual in =
our group who is an "Arab American" and a Muslim, Amr Ibrahim. My high rega=
rd and respect for the Government Affairs group and for each individual ha=
s been validated many times over during the past nine days. Thank you very=
much.--- Rick Shapiro
