 Office of the Chairman
&Who Wants to Help Millions?8 is our theme for Enron,s 2000 Houston United 
Way campaign, which officially kicks off on August 9, 2000.  Last year, Enron 
achieved a 17 percent increase overour 1998 campaign.  This success would not 
have been possible without the support of all levels of management.  

Enron,s Executive Solicitation begins today, and we are counting on your 
leadership and strong support this year.  Your generous contribution will 
enable United Way agencies in our community to continue providing quality 
programs and services. 

Our goal this year is $2,310,000 ) a challenging goal, but we believe it is 
achievable with your help.  Including the dollar for dollar corporate match, 
Enron,s total pledge to United Way in 2000 will be more than $4.5 million.  
To get there, we invite you to &Help Millions8 by making your pledge in one

Last year, Enron,s executive team pledged a total of $2.9 million, including 
the corporate match, which accounted for approximately 66 percent of the 
total Enron dollars pledged.  Enron also ranked among the highest in per

tremendous achievement, and you played a significant role in making it a 
reality.  Let,s continue the momentum in 2000.
