Nick,

Can you come to Houston Thursday night and meet me, Stinson and
Kevin Hannon (one of top 3 executives at Enron Broadband Services)

Vince,

Many thanks for arranging that. Yes, Friday 05/26/00 is good.
I'm blocking off in my calendar May 26 for the visit.

Again, many thanks. I look forward to seeing you and Stinson
in two weeks.

Nick
