Ken- I am a Director at EES and have been at Enron for 9 years. I am extremely proud of Enron and our many successes. The creativity and collective brainpower at Enron is unmatched in the industry. I attended the All Employee meeting you held before I left for vacation.  I left with a strengthened resolve and commitment to Enron. I thought a lot about your very effective handling of the issues in front of us. I am extremely disappointed in many of the prevailing negative attitudes internally and particularly some of the terribly disrespectful questions and comments thrown at you in the meeting. You as always handled the situation with grace, humor and poise. You have tremendous support internally despite what I perceive to be a relatively spoiled group of people who have no concept how good we all have it despite our current issues. I have total faith in our management team and am happy to see a very proactive offensive underway. Thank you for your commitment to Enron and know that many of us long term employees know from experience we will beat these challenges. The daily communication updates are forthright and honest and help people better understand what is going on. 

I hope you can disengage and find some enjoyment this weekend!
