Re: Those who persist in fiddling with Shays-Meehan must be told by their constituents that voters will not tolerate changes that threaten the bill.......... Doug Ose of California should also pay heed. Rep. Ose, stiffing Sacramento and the northern Central Valley, house.gov proved to an obstructionist a$$hole today in the House hearings. A request was made to swear in Harvey Pitt, and Ose and Rep. Bachus spent several minutes, astonishingly, trying to get the committee to forego the swearing in of Pitt. Unbelievably dunderheaded recalcitrance. Pitt smiled through the effort, and when time came, he volunteered to be sworn in. Go figure. And go after him! Enron Director William Powers was an excellent witness. He seem forthright and honest. Though a little ambivalent about his peer group, the attorneys at Vinson & Elkins.

Whereabouts of Enron's Lay a mystery -- US House Panel WASHINGTON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - A congressional committee trying to serve a subpoena on former Enron Corp. Chairman Kenneth Lay said on Monday his personal attorney does not know where Lay is and could not accept the subpoena. ``We made contact with Mr. Lay's attorney this afternoon ... He tells us he does not know of Lay's whereabouts, which we find quite puzzling to say the least,'' said Peggy Peterson, spokeswoman for the House Financial Services Committee. Earl Silbert, Lay's attorney, was unavailable for comment. A woman answering the phone at his home said he was ill. Lay resigned from the board of the fallen energy trading giant on Monday as two congressional committees vowed to force him to come before them to testify on Enron's collapse.
