Enron, as a pacesetter company, is preparing for the annual United Way 
campaign. The official kick-off is Wednesday, August 9th and Enron is hard at 
work preparing for this event.  In 1999, Enron achieved a 17% increase in 
contributions compared to 1998 and for the 10th consecutive year we were one 
of Houston,s largest contributors.  With your help, we can continue this 
trend and achieve our Enron-wide goal for 2000 of $2,310,000.

We are poised to play a significant role in this year's campaign.  I am 
asking that the head of each business unit nominate one or more individuals 
from their department to serve as "United Way Cheerleaders" (aka ENA UW 
Campaigners).  Please provide one person for every 20 employees in your 
business unit.   These volunteers will help ENA,s United Way coordinators 
promote and educate employees about the United Way and Enron's campaign. 

Last year Enron's company-wide participation level was 78%. Several business 
units had 100% participation. However, ENA had the worst rate at 56%.  
Needless to say, this is not the position we want to be in at the end of this 
year,s campaign and the campaigners you appoint are vital to improving our 
performance. 

I realize everyone has a busy schedule, but this is an important cause and 
Enron is the recognized champion in the Houston area for our efforts. 

The following individuals, who can answer any questions you may have, are 
leading the ENA Campaign:

Kathie Grabstald, ext. 3-9610
Michelle Vitrella, ext. 3-9767
Kim Hillis, ext. 3-0681
Jennifer Burns, ext. 3-9440

Once you've selected your department's campaigners, please forward their 
names to Kathie, who will coordinate directly with them concerning the 
responsibilities of a Campaigner and provide support throughout the campaign.

All campaigners must attend a short training session within the next week, so 
we need your department,s names no later than August 2 at 9:00AM.

Additional Note for Executives (VP & above and those making more than 
$10,000/mo):
