Let's talk.  While there is always some value in these things it is ususally 
quite small and consumes more valuable resources in trying to capture the 
benefit than the benefit itself.

Steve-

We have been approached by the Texas A&M/George Bush Presidential Library 
Foundation and School of Public Policy to endow additional funds.

Enron had made an original contribution to the library foundation back in 
1998 totaling $250K over five years.

I am working with Community Relations and A/A Recruiting to evaluate the 
latest request and to discuss where Enron may have interest or find leverage 
for our Government Affairs, Recruiting, or PR efforts.

The Foundation is willing to work with us to establish whatever type of 
program(s) and/or participatory involvement we would like.  We have discussed 
an Enron speaker series, classroom lectures, advisory committee seats and the 
likes.

I have already had a chance to run this by Rick Shapiro and Rob Bradley.  
Although Rick was noncommittal regarding his team's time for speaking or 
lecturing, he seemed supportive of the effort.  Rob has already been 
participating in some speaking opportunities there, and supported expanded 
efforts.

What are your thoughts on contribution levels (another $250K was suggested by 
CR) and any specific program or relationship opportunities regarding the 
Library Center or School of Public Policy.

Please grab me for quick conversation when you have time.

Thanks.

Mike
