In that memo, I included a quote that went as follows ? "What we do in= life echoes through eternity". I think of these words often and believe t= hem more than ever, particularly after the events, both external and intern= al to Enron, of the last few months. I do not know for sure what the next = few weeks or months will bring for any of us, but I do know that what we've= done here at Enron in Government Affairs over the last several years, whet= her in Houston, Washington, London, Brussels, Sao Paulo, etc. was very good= and will be remembered for the positive difference that we have all made i= n the industries in which we have worked and for each other. We even had a= good time doing it. The good work we do will go on for many, if not, all = of us . . . for some, here; for others, elsewhere. =20 Regardless of what the future holds, we should all be quite proud of what w= e have accomplished here and how it has been accomplished. My personal app= reciation for all that you have done as well as at having had the opportuni= ty to be part of a group that, unfortunately, will be inalterably impacted = and changed over the next few weeks, is boundless. Irrespective of where t= hese changes may take any one of us, I will continue to do all I can to ear= n your trust and respect. =20 On a more holiday-related note, for those in the U.S., who are working this= week, please feel free to leave as early as possible on Wednesday in advan= ce of Thanksgiving to spend time with your families or loved ones. For tho= se not celebrating the American Thanksgiving, you too should try and take s= ome additional time for yourself and families over the next few days, work = and business demands permitting.
