Once again, it's time to find out what you think about your work experience 
at Enron and Enron Transportation Services Company, and what we can do to 
help make it better.  That's why we want to check your pulse.  In fact, we've 
changed the name of last year's "Excellence Through Communication" employee 
survey to The Pulse.  We believe The Pulse more accurately captures the 
purpose of the survey.  Your diagnosis will help us correct problem areas so 
we can continue to make Enron a great place to work.

Is available:  Monday, Oct. 16 - Friday, Oct. 27
Is located at: survey.enron.com

There are a few things we want you to remember about The Pulse:

1. Your survey responses will be confidential.  You can complete your survey 
from special computer kiosks that will be set up in some of our larger 
offices.  Several group computer terminals also will be available in smaller 
field offices. We want to provide you with the most comfortable environment 
possible, as your participation is of vital importance to us. Alternatively, 
you can key in your responses from your desktop computer. The responses keyed 
from your desktop will be confidential as well.

2. We will respond actively to your comments.  We are going to do our best to 
cure some of the current problems that exist and put into action preventative 
processes that will help identify smaller problems before they become major 
ones.  We may ask for your help in resolving some of the issues that are 
collected in the survey - your active role will help us identify the best 
solutions.
In last year's survey, you identified several problem areas regarding 
internal communications, workload and performance management. We've already 
acted on many of your recommendations.  These are a few of the things we've 
accomplished in direct response to your input:

  ETS strengthened management focus on intellectual capital and employee 
through the initiation of:
  Table Talk sessions with ETS Office of the Chairman, which give employees 
the opportunity to have frontline discussions,
  The "Innovation Series," which invites employees to share their ideas 
openly and ensures management commitment to evaluating ideas,
  E-Speak sessions with ETS leaders to exchange ideas, and
  Our name change to Enron Transportation Services to recognize our most 
strategic asset - you.

  We made workload planning and management training/development available to 
ETS employees to address workload issues, the greatest ETS concern in the 
survey.

  We improved the consistency of performance management, the survey topic 
that received the most employee comments, by extending the use of the 
Performance Evaluation Process (PEP) system and the Performance Review 
Committee (PRC) process to all levels in ETS at mid-year in 2000.

Please take a few minutes to check your pulse and tell us what you think and 
how you feel about your job and about Enron.

We look forward to hearing from you
