Once again, it's time to find out what you think about your work experience 
at Enron 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, October 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 
at your desktop or at special computer kiosks that are 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.
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 and we've already acted on many of your 
recommendations.  These are a few of the things we've accomplished or are 
working on in direct response to your input:
1. Require all executives (VP and above) to attend the Executive Impact & 
Influence course, which is a 360-degree program designed to improve 
leadership and communication skills.  By year-end, more than 90 percent will 
have attended this course, with the remaining 10 percent to be trained in the 
first quarter of 2001.
2. Offer all employees online communication courses.  These courses will be 
available in the first quarter of 2001.
3. Improve our online communication tools, beginning in the fourth quarter, 
2000:
   w Simplify and standardize Enron directories
   w Educate all employees about the availability and usage of IT tools.
   w Promote intelligent/responsible use of email.
4. Introduce Participation & Dissent (P&D) sessions to provide a vehicle for 
solving problems, addressing issues and developing new opportunities.  This 
application will launch in the first quarter of 2001 in the ThinkBank on 
eThink.

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