Don't see how we end ENRON problems because too many people in government are involved.
Will Congress look at the Bush administration's part? Congress should subpoena Chenney
to testify. He can always take the fifth! (lol)

DeLay Advisers Reaped Enron Windfall
By John Bresnahan and Damon Chappie
" In early 1998, Enron Corp. secured a $750,000 contract for political
operatives tied to House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Texas) to
secretly conduct an aggressive grassroots campaign pushing
energy deregulation, according to documents obtained by Roll Call
and interviews with individuals involved with the effort.
The contract was awarded after DeLay personally recommended to
Enron officials that they hire the team of strategists who make up
the inner circle of his political and fundraising machine.
In a January 1998 meeting at his home in Sugarland, Texas, DeLay
reviewed plans to have Enron bankroll a new grassroots operation
to jump-start the deregulation debate with three of his operatives:
Ed Buckham, who had just left the Congressional payroll as DeLay's
chief of staff while simultaneously launching his own lobbying firm;
Karl Gallant, a consultant to DeLay's political action committee; and
John Hoy, a partner in the California-based consulting firm of
Schuman, Hoy & Associates, which worked for DeLay during the
1996 GOP convention."
