In Enron,s continuing commitment to maximize both our financial and 
intellectual capital, the Office of the Chairman announced yesterday 
afternoon that the CALME group was being reorganized, including the transfer 
of the management of its Colombia and Venezuela businesses to Enron South 
America. Enron,s success has been in large part because of its innovation and 
ability to identify new businesses that allow us to create ROE faster with 
less capital investment.  At ESA we have started to implement these new 
business paradigms and this restructuring creates new opportunities for our 
business unit. 

Today, our management team is proud to officially welcome Colombia and 
Venezuela into our business unit.  Enron currently has commercial offices in 
each of these countries and other investments:

Colombia
Located in Bogot?, Enron's Colombia office focuses on identifying and 
developing new business opportunities. In addition, this office is 
responsible for managing the company's participation in two operating units, 
Promigas (Colombia,s premier natural gas pipeline operator) and Centragas 
(Enron,s first greenfield international pipeline development project).

Venezuela
Enron Venezuela, Ltd. is located in Caracas, Venezuela and focuses on 
identifying and developing new business opportunities for Enron. In addition, 
it manages and supports its operating units in the country, including Vengas 
(Venezuela,s leading transporter and distributor of LPG, serving more than 
2.5 million of Venezuela,s industrial, commercial and residential consumers), 
the electricity distribution company of Puerto Cabello, CALIFE, ACCROVEN (the 
company that has the 20-year contract to build, own and operate natural gas 
liquids facilities) and Bachaquero III, a compression facility that began 
operation in early 1998.

The operating companies will become part of the Generation & Pipeline 
business unit, under the direction of Pete Weidler.  Lewis May will have 
responsibilities for Promigas and Centragas.  Together we will make this a 
smooth and transparent transition, not only internally, but also with our 
customers, partners and other stakeholders. 

Once again, join us in welcoming our new team members.  We look forward to 
our continued success!
