I just made some very minor typo/cosmetic changes. I guess the biggest remaining issue is the identity of the addressee? To whom should Ken send this letter? Thanks, Mark -----Original Message----- From: Long, Chris Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 10:20 AM To: Kean, Steven; Shapiro, Richard; Robertson, Linda; Metts, Mark Cc: Sullivan, Lora Subject: SEC Chair After a thorough internal review of Jim Doty's nomination, there seems to be unanimous support for the nomination of Jim Doty. This has been confirmed after receiving input from Enron management in legal, commercial, and government affairs. One concern was that a future PGE sale would be in some way be impacted if Jim Doty were to recuse himself given his relationship with Enron. All agree he would recuse himself, which we knew when he was retained, and that the impact would be minimal. Another concern, was the Washington media reported that Doty had in some way alienated Sen. or Mrs. Gramm, it was reported back to me that is not the case and the Gramm's do not oppose the Doty nomination. The SEC nomination process is still moving rather slow and that no candidate has pulled in front, according to our DC consultants. The letter states Enron's broad support for Doty's nomination. It does not advocate any particular policy position or issue. << File: SECAPP3.doc >>
