While this may sound a bit like I am tooting my own horn for having done 
things that I am paid and expected to do, I thought I would let you know that 
I am quite proud of having accomplished the results we achieved in relation 
to identifying the regulatory risks and advocating for changes that would 
mitigate or eliminate many of the risks in the PPAs over the last few 
months.  In particular, I thought to write this note to you because I am 
proud of the comment I received from Larry Charach this evening during our 
final conversation in relation to the issues described below.  Larry said to 
me that his decision to take steps to address Enron's concerns at this late 
date was based in large part on our relationship and the trust that he has 
developed in me as a result of having worked with me for some time.

I spoke to Larry Charach and he advised:

1) He has authority from the Deputy Minister to request and recommend the 
Registrar of Regulations that he accept the PPAs for filing under the 
Regulations Act.  ADRD legal counsel has apparently discussed this with the 
Registrar of Regulations and it is not expected that there will be any 
problem.  Larry may have to have a discussion on Monday morning directly with 
the Registrar to answer questions respecting why this is necessary and what 
it needs to be done on an expedited basis.  Apparently, even expedited it 
will take a week for the registration process such that the ADRD intends to 
send a notice to all bidders on Monday that it has received approval for the 
PPAs to be registered as a regulation and that such registration will not 
likely be effective after the PPA auction has commenced. 

2) He has spoken with the Executive Director of the AEUB, Bob Heggie, who has 
indicated that he intends to recommend to the Chairman of the AEUB on Monday 
morning that the AEUB issue an AEUB Order accepting the 26 
errata/clarifications identified by PWC on June 2000 and the subsequent 
errata/clarifications that have been identified since.  Apparently PWC will 
have this letter done on Monday and I expect it will include the FRDT and 
PRDT issue.
I believe all of the following outstanding errata/clarifications have now 
been addressed to Enron's satisfaction:

(a) NPV in the RBPA;
(b) parasitic load
(c) change in law - more profitable
(d) clarification of FCR
(e) FRDT and PRDT (Article C7).

Regards,

Rob
