In an effort to streamline the corporate center and in recognition of the 
growing capabilities of Enron,s regional Wholesale Business, Global Asset 
Operations will be reorganized effective 1 May 2000.  Our current Global 
Asset Operations functions will be decentralized and become a business unit 
responsibility.
Enron will continue to operate all of its facilities under standardized 
guidelines and procedures and compliance will be monitored through a formal 
audit program as in the past.  However, our Wholesale Business Units will 
assume responsibility for operation and management of their specific power 
plants and other assets.
Operational Energy Corporation (OEC) will become the Enron Corp &Center of 
Excellence8 for power plant operations.  The Gas Pipeline Group is the Center 
of Excellence8 for pipeline operations.  OEC will reside in Enron North 
America.  Jim Noles will be in charge of this activity.  Mark Dobler will 
lead operations; and John Cates will lead the Development Support Activity.  
John Cates, organization will continue to provide O&M estimates and due 
diligence assistance to business units.  John will specifically approve O&M 
estimates for corporate risk assessment decisions.  Jim Noles and this new 
group will report to the Office of the Chairman in Enron North America.
The Quality Management Group (Audit Function) will be assigned to the Gas 
Pipeline Group (GPG).  Don Hawkins will continue to head Quality Management 
and will report to Phil Lowry, Managing Director, Operations, GPG. In 
addition to managing the global audit program, Don will continue his 
responsibility for standardized policies and procedures, the Crisis 
Management Program, ISO 9000 certification, the Positive Impact Program, 
operational reporting, and the Asset Operations Website.
The Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Group led by Henry Van will report 
to Mike Terraso, Enron,s Chief Environmental Officer reporting to Steve 
Kean.  As in the past, Henry,s Group will continue to provide environmental 
and safety support to the regional business units.
Enron,s Wholesale Business Unit,s can now choose from a variety of services 
provided by OEC.  These include full turnkey O&M services, O&M estimates, due 
diligence, and technical support for planned and forced outages.  Business 
units are encouraged to take advantage of these services as they operate and 
maintain the power plants in their businesses.
Kurt Huneke will help transition the Asset Operations activity as discussed 
herein, while dedicating his full attention to Enron Wind Company as its 
Chairman and CEO.
Please join us in wishing these groups success.
