To:  All Enron Gas Pipeline Group Operations Employees

Today, environmental laws govern virtually all aspects of Enron Gas Pipeline 
Group's (GPG) operations, including the design, construction, maintenance and 
operation of our pipeline and storage facilities.

At the same time, GPG,s environmental performance receives greater scrutiny 
as environmental regulations increase and the public demands better 
stewardship of the environment.

Accordingly, GPG has affirmed its commitment to environmental responsibility 
by adopting a formal policy concerning environmental compliance as well as a 
comprehensive environmental compliance program.  This commitment reinforces 
GPG,s positive and long-standing environmental record. 

One of the key areas that could effect our performance is in the realm of 
&air compliance.8 Over the past decade, the natural gas industry has faced 
continuing challenges to meet more restrictive requirements in air emissions, 
operating parameters and reporting associated with the compressor engines 
that move gas through GPG,s pipeline system.  All of these conditions are 
extremely important, and every employee within GPG should be doing everything 
possible to maintain compliance within the permitted limits.  Non-compliance 
is not an acceptable alternative.

In order to help us focus on our responsibilities in this regard, we have 
asked representatives of the Environmental, Health and Safety activity; 
Technical Services; and the Legal Department to partner in developing an 
appropriate action plan to help all of us maintain our &air permit8 
compliance.  You will be hearing more about these action plans in the coming 
weeks.  

Thanks for doing the great job you are doing, and for making our company the 
success that it is.

Sincerely,

Stan Horton
Chairman & CEO
