Specific to my activities I need the following clarification: 1) Travel Limitations - Is there an unspoken move to limit travel and business expenditures? Is this business smart (as I currently manage) or specific to Enron's current status? 2) Strategic Asset Development - I currently have no employees committed to this group, yet my prior group is transitioning to Frank. Do I have the continued authority to build a business which includes new employees, new infrastructure, etc.? If I need to wait for some specific timeline (5 - 10 days), please give me a nod. Especially during this time, I need to be busy/head down/about business... I would appreciate your response. Thanx, Laura
