John, I had lunch with Kevin and I'm 100% on board with the concept and the chance for an expanded scope for Special Assets under an Enron Corp. umbrella.  I think I will work well with Kevin.  I am sorry to leave ENA though.  I am sincere in complimenting you and Louise on the progress you are making in a short time period.

As I mentioned this morning I had scheduled a Wednesday meeting to brief you on a new business idea for Special Assets...Enron Executive Services.  Given this change and the demands upon your schedule you may prefer not to proceed with this session--although I will send you the presentation in any event.  There is one issue, however,  that I need some guidance and perhaps your help.  Next week we will be in Spain meeting with governmental and provincial development agencies exploring the feasbility of providing services (on a fee basis) for evaluating and preparing projects for presentation to developers and capital providers.  Stature and titles tend to be important in these international relationship introductions.  In other companies before coming to Enron what I've done in these cases is set up a shell company and assign senior officer titles to the members of that project.  We suggested this to legal, i.e. a shell company with no assets, who have indicated someone would need to approve using a non-standard officer slate.  Is this something you can approve?  Thanks.  Dick.
