He will be in this afte= rnoon and will be available to talk with you. He has re-confirmed his fait= h you in that you will be able to go to bat appropriately for him and has a= voided pushing it very much until now. He is looking for an answer by the = end of this week if at all possible. I know that we cannot tie his compens= ation to future business that he may bring in through deals with AEP. Howe= ver, I strongly believe that taking care of him properly at this point in t= ime will bear significant fruit for our P&L through 2001. This may or may = not be my place to transmit this to you, but I felt it was appropriate as I= believe it will have a real impact to our business. I have developed a st= rong commercial relationship with Mike and plan on continuing it after he l= eaves Enron as he will be a good source for getting my group into deals. M= ike has been a strong commercial resource for Enron over time, particularly= in light of the fact that he has put his future role at AEP on hold to get= this deal done. He clearly has been an unselfish, integral commercial reso= urce create significant value for Enron on a very difficult, complex deal. Nonetheless, I would talk to him this afternoon and try to get him taken ca= re of this week to close the loop appropriately. I am preparing a closing = celebration plan for your review later today. Thanks, Chris
