I don't think there is anything else you need to do right now. Let me know, though, if there are requests for information you consider inappropriate. From: Cynthia Sandherr 09/14/2000 11:53 AM To: Steven J Kean/NA/Enron@Enron cc: Joe Hillings/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Richard Shapiro/HOU/EES@EES, Chris Long/Corp/Enron@ENRON Subject: washington contacts Steve: As discussed, I spoke with Clay and raised the points we discussed. Thus, I'm a bit surprised to receive this "cover" type memo. To be clear with you, as I was with Clay (he repeated back my message verbatim so I feel he understood the issue), the issue is not maintaining excellent relationships, rather the issue is inappropriate requests for insider information. By the way, the Administration meeting which set off the problem, Clay stated he doesn't remember where that information came from. I have followed up with DOE and the Hill as discussed. Please let me know if we need to do anything further. thanks. ---------------------- Forwarded by Cynthia Sandherr/Corp/Enron on 09/14/2000 12:57 PM --------------------------- Clayton Seigle@ECT 09/14/2000 11:41 AM To: Cynthia Sandherr/Corp/Enron@ENRON cc: Joe Hillings/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Scott Tholan/Corp/Enron@Enron, Robert Johnston/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: washington contacts Dear Cynthia: Just wanted to follow up with you from our conversation this morning.
