Beth continues to have concerns with the no= tion of me getting on an airplane ... a fact that comes out in interesting = ways during the day. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to let the dis= comfort pass or lessen. =20 It's always been hard to determine what is essential vs. nonessential trave= l. Our jobs involve personal touch and contact. We can't stay off of airp= lanes for very long without compromising some of our effectiveness. On the= positive side, very few of our elected friends outside of California are e= ven thinking about energy issues. I've done a good job of clearing the calendar for the next two weeks, but I= 'm already booking trips the first week of October. Hopefully the world wi= ll be calm during the interim and we can all get back to some semblance of = normalcy. =20 Paul -----Original Message----- From: =09Dernehl, Ginger On Behalf Of Shapiro, Richard Sent:=09Thursday, September 20, 2001 2:52 PM To:=09O'connell, Earlene; Barnes, Lynnette; Reyna, Margo; Perez, Gus; Steph= ens, Sharonda; Lawrence, Linda L.; Alamo, Joseph; Allegretti, Daniel; Allen= , Joe; Alvarez, Ramon; Arefieva, Maria; Assad, Sergio; Assaf, Lisa; Bellas,= Kirsten; Benson, Eric; Bestard, Jose; Binns, Darran; Bolton, Scott; Boston= , Jerry; Boston, Roy; Braz, Gisele; Briggs, Tom; Buerger, Rubena; Burns, St= ephen; Canovas, Guillermo; Cantrell, Rebecca W.; Chan, Stella; Comnes, Alan= ; Connor, Joe; Cooney, Carolyn; Crowther, Mark; Dadson, Aleck; Dasovich, Je= ff; Davies, Philip; Dawson, Paul; Decker, Larry; Dernehl, Ginger; Devlin, B= rendan; Dindarova, Nailia; Dressler, Jean; Duvauchelle, Antoine; Elms, Nick= ; Fitzgibbon, Tom; Florio, Viviana; Floris, Vinio; Frank, Robert; Fromer, H= oward; Fulton, Donna; Gaillard, Bruno; Glen, Merle; Grimes, Michael; Guerre= ro, Janel; Haizmann, Jan; Hamilton, Allison; Hardy Jr, John; Hawkins, Berna= dette; Hemstock, Robert; Hennemeyer, Paul; Hetrick, Nancy; Hoatson, Tom; Hu= ang, Karen; Huertas, Alfredo; Hueter, Barbara A.; Hughes, Llewelyn; Hunter,= Bevin; Huson, Margaret; Hussain, Mustafa; Ibrahim, Amr; Imai, Makiko; Inge= rsoll, Richard; Irwin, Kerryann; Kaufman, Paul; Kean, Steven J.; Keenan, Am= ber; Keene, Patrick; Kimura, Takashi; Kingerski, Harry; Kishigami, Kikumi; = Knight, Laurie; Landwehr, Susan M.; Lassere, Donald; Lawner, Leslie; Leibma= n, Lara; Leonardo, Sam; Levy, Alberto; Linnell, Elizabeth; Mara, Susan; Mau= rer, Luiz; McVicker, Maureen; Migden, Janine; Milano, Pamela; Miller, Terri= ; Montovano, Steve; Nersesian, Carin; Neustaedter, Robert; Nicolay, Christi= L.; Nord, Sue; Noske, Linda J.; Novosel, Sarah; O'Day, Nicholas; Ogenyi, G= loria; Ozegalska, Justyna; Palmer, Germain; Perez, Carmen; Perrino, Dave; P= etrochko, Mona L.; Pharms, Melinda; Reblitz, Scott; Reis, Jose Lucio; Rishe= , Frank; Rizzo, Helen; Roan, Michael; Robertson, Linda; Robinson, Marchris;= Rodriquez, Andy; Ryall, Jean; Sampaio, Fred; Lindberg, Susan; Shapiro, Ric= hard; Shelk, John; Shortridge, Pat; Staines, Dan; Steffes, James D.; Strans= ky, Joan; Stroup, Kerry; Styles, Peter; Sullivan, Kathleen; Sullivan, Lora;= Thome, Jennifer; Tiberi, Fino; Tracy, Lysa; Twiggs, Thane; Van Biert, Teun= ; Walton, Steve; Warner, Geriann; Watanabe, Mika; Wood, Doug; Xi, Xi; Yeung= , Charles; Yoho, Lisa Subject:=09The aftermath of September 11th -- Enron Government Affairs The events of September 11th are still very much with us and will conti= nue to be for some time, perhaps for as long as we live. For those who have= not heard me say this regarding air travel,individuals should avail themse= lves of the travel services the company is offering in the way of guidance = for those that are traveling and only travel by air for essential matters( = until further notice). In addition, anyone who is currently uncomfortable = with the notion of air travel need not do so...we will work around this fo= r as long as the need exists. The company has also provided information on = the availability of counseling services should anyone have the need- please= contact HR or the Benefits Group for further information. A final couple of notes: If there is a silver lining in the events of = September 11th, it is the kindness, generosity, and humanity it brings out = in the rest of us...I have seen this play out in untold ways in our "group"= ,both in London and at home, over the last nine days , including( to a per= son) the absence of any hint of bias being shown towards the individual in = our group who is an "Arab American" and a Muslim, Amr Ibrahim. My high rega= rd and respect for the Government Affairs group and for each individual ha= s been validated many times over during the past nine days. Thank you very= much.--- Rick Shapiro .
