I had put a message on Ken's messages last evening asking if you could handle this if you are available, so hopefully he will say yes - especially after he sees your message. Rosie Rebecca McDonald@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT 02/29/2000 11:51 AM To: Kenneth Lay@ENRON cc: Subject: Ghana Ken. I wanted to get back with regarding your question of Ghana. You might remember that Ralph Hodge had indicated to you that you may well be hearing from the Ghanaian Ambassador. Ralph believes that he will try to facilitate a meeting between you and Chevron. We have been working Ghana pretty hard, including the West African Gas Pipeline, the Effasu Power Project, a marketing company and a host of other possibilities. We have told the Ghanaians that with what is going on right now in Nigeria, the loss of projects in Cote d'Ivoire due to the coup d'etat, and the lack of speed in moving forward in Ghana , that we are slowing down a bit to determine if we can resolve current projects before taking on additional ones. Clearly this is a bit of a "cop out". I am reluctant to tell Ghana that we are slowing down generally in Africa because I don't want to hurt the barge deal or jepordize the possible resolution of the large snowball in Mozambique and there is truth to the Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria issues. And, of course, I don't want to alienate Ghana generally. I have a good relationship with the Ambassador from Ghana, in fact, I just got a postcard from him two days ago, and when he returns to the US he has indicated that he will call me. I will deliver this message, hopefully diverting the call to you. If he does get to you first, he won't be upset for you to send him on to me, I don't believe. If there is any clarification, please give me a holler. I hope the office opening has gone well. I've extracted many a promise from participants to drink a pint for me. Regards Rebecca
