Wood's name was on the list Lay gave Cheney, and after being appointed to the commission Wood rose to chairman. "The letter released Wednesday showed this is not the first time Lay asked Bush to appoint Wood to a government job that might benefit Enron. The Dec. 21, 1994, letter from Lay to then Gov.-elect Bush urged Bush to appoint Wood to the Texas Public Utility Commission -- an agency that Wood chaired when he worked with Enron and other utilities to deregulate electricity in Texas. At the time of Wood's appointment to the PUC, he was a relatively unknown lawyer working for Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Barry Williamson." PAT, I heard about it! Thanks! Lay in the letter said a recommendation for Wood's appointment to the PUC had been made by "Rich" to Bush's appointments director, Clay Johnson, and political adviser, Karl Rove.
