Som= e of the changes took effect immediately (e.g. additional security personne= l) and some are phasing in. While not all of the changes will be visible, = there are a few that will have an impact on everyday activities. In all th= e steps we take and recommendations we make, we will be making our faciliti= es and systems more secure and endeavoring to increase your sense of securi= ty, while doing our best to minimize disruption to our day-to-day business. Primary responsibility for Enron Corp. Security resides in our business con= trols organization. You can contact this organization through their websit= e (), by phone (713-345-2804), or by email = (CorporateSecurity@enron.com ). John B= rindle, Senior Director, Business Controls, leads this organization. Pleas= e feel free to provide John and his team with your comments and questions, = or to report security threats. We have two areas to update you on: changes in the access procedures for t= he Enron Center Campus in Houston and changes to our travel advisory. Access to the Enron Center Over the next few days, the following access control procedures will be ins= tituted at the Enron Center (and other facilities where practical): ?=09As employees swipe their badges at the card readers to enter the Enron = Center, a guard will match the photo on the badge to the bearer. ?=09Employees and contractors who forget their badges must present a valid = picture ID to obtain access to the Enron Center (U.S. driver's license, U.S= . or foreign passport, or some form of U.S. federal, state or local identif= ication).=20 ?=09Visitors to the Enron Center must produce a valid photo ID when signing= in at the lobby reception desk and must completely fill out the visitor ca= rd. Adult visitors without a valid photo ID (U.S. driver's license, U.S. o= r foreign passport, or some form of U.S. federal, state or local identifica= tion) will not be allowed access to the Enron Center. ?=09Visitors to Enron facilities must be escorted by an Enron employee or b= adged contractor at all times. ?=09Visitors to the Enron Center will be met in the lobby by an Enron emplo= yee or badged contractor, signed into a visitor's log at the lobby receptio= n area by the employee or badged contractor, and escorted to their appointm= ent. At the conclusion of the appointment, the visitor will be escorted to= the lobby by an employee or badged contractor, the visitor badge collected= , and the visitor signed out in the log at the plaza reception area by the = escorting employee or badged contractor. ?=09Employees are also being asked to participate in the security of their = workplace by following these guidelines; report suspicious activity to Secu= rity (phone 3-6300), do not open secured doors for individuals unknown to y= ou or hold doors open, allowing "tail gating" by others. These will be the first in a series of new security procedures to be instit= uted at Enron. We ask that all employees be patient during congested times= in the lobby. As we proceed and obtain increased guard personnel and equi= pment, we expect the inconvenience to decrease. We hope you understand the= se measures are being instituted for the security of all our employees. =09 Travel Advisory Update With the beginning of retaliatory strikes, we have two important recommenda= tions: ?=09While the retaliatory strikes are ongoing, corporate security recommend= s that travel through or to the Middle East be avoided. We continue to str= ongly recommend that all travel during this time to Afghanistan, Yemen, Pak= istan, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Geo= rgia, and the Kyrgyz Republic be canceled. In addition, we recommend that = planned travel to Egypt, Israel, Gaza/West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Ara= bia, Syria, and Algeria be very carefully considered. ?=09For non-U.S. citizens traveling in the United States, corporate securit= y recommends that you carry documentation. There have been several recent = reports of non-U.S. citizens who reside in the United States being question= ed and asked for documentation when boarding U.S. domestic flights. As a re= sult, we suggest that all non-U.S. citizens who currently reside in the Uni= ted States - and who do not have Permanent Resident Alien status - carry th= eir passport, Form I-94 and Form I-797 at all times. We would also suggest= that Permanent Resident Aliens carry their Permanent Resident (Green) Card= as proof of their status as a precautionary measure. It appears that Immi= gration Officials may be applying a section of the Immigration and National= ity Act that requires individuals over the age of 18 to carry his/her "regi= stration" documentation with them at all times. This can include a Permanen= t Resident Card, Form I-94 card, Employment Authorization Card, Border Cros= sing Card, or a Temporary Resident Card. Immigration Officials have not his= torically been asking domestic travelers for "registration" documentation, = but in light of the heightened security measures and current atmosphere, it= would be best to be prepared with all of your documentation proving your c= urrent lawful status. We will keep you apprised of new information and developments on the Corpor= ate Security website and by e-mail, as appropriate.
