I am concerned how any such announcement is worded. I have shared with you my desire to seek a senior position in the George W. Bush Administration which causes my extreme interest in an announcement and the hope that I might be given words of appreciation for my tenure with Enron and its predecessor companies. Thanks.

I have not been advised of the selection and am concerned that this announcement will not treat my retirement in an appropriate and deserving manner. I have placed calls to Steve Kean since hearing this rumor but have not received a response as of now. Admittedl, our phone service because of the office construction is not totally functioning. Frankly, I think this matter has not been handled in a caring way and I have been acccused of giving information on the selection to Tom DeLay which is untrue. My office mates are all more aware of the candidates and their status than I have been. I regret having to contact you on this matter but feel that despite my total cooperation, allegiance and dedication to Enron, I am not being treated with the courtesy and sensitivity that this matter deserves.
