BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Oil Products
The Oil Products Group executed a 1 year physical transaction, whereby Enron 
supplies Delta Airlines 100,000 barrels/month for one year beginning in  
November of 2000, for a total of 1.2 million barrels.

Weather
On December 6 at 7pm, the Weather Channel will run a 15 minute special 
interest story on Weather Derivative trading.  Approximately 8 minutes of 
this telecast will focus on the Enron Weather Risk Management group, led by 
Mark Tawney, director. In September, a film crew spent two days recording the 
group's activities and interviewing Mark Tawney; Steven Vu, head of trading; 
Gary Taylor, head of marketing; and Brando Hayden, trader.  Efforts to 
publicize Enron's leading position in the Weather Risk marketplace have 
included this television show, the Enron Corp commercial focused on weather 
risk management, and several articles written by members of the Enron Weather 
Trading group.  What's next?  Enron Weather: the Movie - coming soon to 
theatres near you!

financial partner, which is Enron North America.  Westwin Energy will focus

Enron Industrial Markets Fundamentals Analysis
Following the example of other Enron entities, Enron Industrial Markets has 
established a Fundamentals Analysis Group.  Under the direction of Andrea 
Reed, the group is similar to the others, with the objective of providing 
market, industry, and regulatory information and identifying potential 
commercial opportunities for originators and traders.  Doug Moreno and Carol 
Marshall are the information experts.   They are presently working to 
aggregate all of Enron,s various resources into a library and a website 
(coming soon at http://eimfundy.dev.corp.enron.com/).  Jennifer Riley is the 
quantitative analyst, and has already analyzed a number of statistical 
relationships for the business entities to identify possible hedging 
strategies.  Peggy Determeyer (steel) and Karen Carter (paper/pulp and 
lumber) will be providing analytical services to the two primary product 
lines. Tammy Davis keeps them all organized with terrific administrative 
support.  Doug, Jennifer, Tammy, and Carol have followed Andrea from her 
previous Merchant Asset Portfolio Management assignment, while Peggy and 
Karen have joined from Enron South America and Enron North America, 
respectively.  If you have any ideas for critical analyses or information 
needs, contact one of them for help.

FINAL RESULTS FOR THE PULSE

Thanks to all who participated in Enron's annual employee survey.  The total 
participation rate for ENA/EGM/EIM was 68.90%, which was an increase of 
almost 20% from last year.  Additionally, we beat the Enron Corp. average 
68.90% to 68.87%.  Some might say that this is statistically insignificant, 
but we prefer to point out that a win is a win!

two things: specify exactly what you want and identify several bidders you 
deem qualified to fight for the business. Let your imagination roam. At Enron 
they never stop thinking about new products and services for which they can 
make markets. First gas and electricity, now bandwidth, ocean shipping, 
paper, and much else."
