I don't think it is as relevant to our business as it is to many others. TERRIE JAMES@ENRON COMMUNICATIONS 07/05/2001 01:09 PM To: Steven J Kean/NA/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: Funky Business Steve, Have you had a chance to look at the book "Funky Business" and to give any thought to having Jonas present at the Management Conference? I know you have a thousand other things on your plate, not the least of which is California, so I understand if the answer is no. However, they've been contacted by someone else about the date so we may be forced to decide rather soon. On a related subject, I'm contemplating another topic for the conference. I'd seen an article in Fortune several months ago titled "Managing for the Slowdown." It talked about new challenges managers face in light of the economic downturn. (Most young managers have never experienced anything but boom times.) The article also outlines a dozen or so things companies should be thinking about now. (Use the downturn as a new opportunity to evaluate people. Overhaul your budget process. Don't stop communicating. etc.) I think it would be beneficial to address similar strategies and ideas with our managers. I'd love to get your thoughts on this idea. (Is it appropriate for Enron or am I just seeing the world through bleak-colored glasses?)

They have another inquiry about that date and wondered if Enron is still considering using Jonas. If you are still considering them I will keep him on hold. And if they get a firm offer I will let you know immediately. We will have 24 hours to make an offer or release the hold once a firm offer comes in from another company. Hope you had a great 4th of July, Alison Kravetz 800-842-4483 x239
