To clarify the discussion below:  I will not be discussing the promotion
candidates with Sally prior to her PRC meeting on 6/19/00.

As a reminder, our PRC meeting will be held on Tuesday, 6/13 in EB37C1,
beginning @ 12:00 Noon.  Lunch will be served, and Yvette has drinks and
snacks throughout the day.  Our goal will be NOT to have dinner, but if
necessary, we will.  I suggest each of you to make arrangements to stay as
late as needed to ensure we reach a quality work product.

Our agenda:

Review of ground rules and responsibilities of the committee.

Each of you will provide a general business assessment of your team.  HR
challenges should be identified along with needed skill sets, gap analysis
and succession planning.  The template below should be used for the format.
I am not interested in discussing the business goals, but you probably need
to think through these in order to discuss the assessments that we will want
to discuss as a group.

Review and discussion of exempt employees.  Each will be categorized into the
six descriptors used in the feedback process.  I am expecting each of you to
have a listing of accomplishments from your employees along with factual
feedback and observations which will allow you to place your employees into
appropriate categories.  I would like to stress that the data to sustantiate
the performance descriptor should be factual and documented.  The focus of
employee discussions must be on each employee's individual contribution
towards accomplishing our business goals.  We must safeguard our discussions
from "he said, she said" periferal distractors, and focus on the work product.

Promotion candidates discussion.

Once again, the PRC process is a valued process at Enron.  Each of you have
been through it, so you understand the importance of confidentiality.
Additionally, the Committee will be required to reach an unanimous vote.
Please come to the meeting with your "Enron" hat on - not your individual
group hat.  Our people are critical to our business.  Therefore, it is
important for us to be honest when evaluating our staff.  We must identify
our stengths and weaknesses, and work towards strengthening our people to
ensure the very best business service we can provide.  What this means is
that we should provide our employees with the very best constructive feedback
possible.  In some cases, you may be providing a tough message, but it is our
responsibility and obligation to ensure that each employee fully understands
expectations, where they are on point and where they are NOT on point of
meeting these expectations so that they can have the next six months to build
needed skill sets and/or correct behaviors.  This is your obligation as their
immediate supervisor.   If you have any questions, concerns or issues you
would like to talk about prior to the meeting on Tuesday, please contact me
or Hector.

In advance, I appreciate your time, energy and professionalism in this
process.
