Mr. Lay,   I wrote you a few days ago concerned about the news articles describing the amount of money passing to top management during Enron's crisis.
This morning I received an e-mail that states you are going to forgo the payment under the Change of Control Provision which amounted to between $60 to $80 million depending on which article you read.
I want to commend you on this decision which most likely would not have been made by a lesser man.
Your credibility and your personal integrity have both gone up a notch in my estimation.
Thank you,

CHANGE OF CONTROL PROVISION
