X-cc: X-bcc: X-Folder: \Kenneth_Lay_Dec2000\Notes Folders\Sent X-Origin: LAY-K X-FileName: klay.nsf Good morning, Michael. Will there be enough funds to help Sue without Shell's if I wait until Mr. Lay returns on October 3? I have not been very successful getting faxes through to the ship, so would prefer not to have to bother him with this unless absolutely necessary. Rosalee "Telle, Michael S." on 09/25/2000 06:28:00 PM To: "'kenneth.lay@enron.com'" cc: Subject: Referendum Campaign Mr. Lay-- I have been assisting John Watson with his representation of Sports Facilities, L.P., and I am in the process of coordinating the $1.4 million prepayment by the Sports Authority and the contribution of such amount by the partners to the referendum campaign. Assuming that we receive the prepayment from the Sports Authority, we expect to be able to start making contributions to the referendum campaign this week. The contributions will be paid to the referendum campaign by the partnership, on behalf of each partner, upon receipt of instructions from each such partner that its share of the amount prepaid should be contributed to the campaign instead of being distributed. I have discussed this procedure with Sue Walden. With respect to your arrangement with Shell, we were not sure what you and Shell had agreed to. The monies being contributed to the referendum campaign are being contributed to a special purpose political action committee (as required by law). This special purpose PAC is subject to the general Texas laws that govern campaign fundraising. As you know, one of these laws provides that "a person may not knowingly make or authorize a political contribution in the name of or on behalf of another unless the person discloses in writing to the recipient the name and address of the person actually making the contribution . . . ." Pending a better understanding of the Shell arrangement, we will hold Shell's $100,000 in the partnership's account. Please contact John Watson at 713-758-2556 or me at 713-758-2350 if you have any questions regarding the foregoing. Sincerely, Michael S. Telle
