Jeff,
So you decided to take this gig instead of running off to South America to = be=20 a beach bum. Lucky us! (There will be plenty of time to be a beach bum=20 later.) Congratulations -- I am so happy for you. As you build your "new=20 administration," let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I'd=20 welcome the opportunity to work with you and Sherri in any capacity. Terrie James Sr. Director, Corporate Communication Enron Broadband Services 713-853-7727 (phone) 713-646-8887 (fax) terrie_james@enron.net ----- Forwarded by Terrie James/Enron Communications on 12/13/00 06:16 PM= =20 ----- =09Ken Lay@ENRON =09Sent by: Enron Announcements@ENRON =0912/13/00 06:01 AM =09=09=20 =09=09 To: All Enron Worldwide =09=09 cc:=20 =09=09 Subject: Succession Plan It is my great pleasure to announce that the Board has accepted my=20 recommendation to appoint Jeff Skilling as chief executive officer, effecti= ve=20 at the time of their next board meeting on February 12, 2001. Jeff will al= so=20 retain his duties as president and chief operating officer. I will continu= e=20 as chairman of the Board and will remain at Enron, working with Jeff on the= =20 strategic direction of the company and our day-to-day global operations. Jeff will assume the role at a time when the company is hitting on all=20 cylinders and is positioned for phenomenal growth. He is clearly ready for= =20 the job, and after 15 years as CEO of this great company, I=01,m ready for = a=20 somewhat different role. Our succession plan has been clear for some time. This has afforded Jeff a= nd=20 me the freedom to combine our strengths toward building a company that=20 continues to exceed everyone=01,s expectations, including our own. We look= =20 forward to furthering that relationship as Jeff expands his role. There are no plans for any other changes in our management team nor broad= =20 shifts in strategy and direction. Please join me in congratulating Jeff. I look forward to a great 2001.
