Question #4:Was Enron still ordering Bush around in 2002?Published on Friday, February 1, 2002 by the Associated PressEnron Chairman Gave List of Favored Names to White House; Bush Named Two as Energy Regulators by Marcy Gordon WASHINGTON - A few months after the White House got a list of recommended candidates from former Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay, a friend and backer of President Bush, two of them were appointed to a federal energy commission. Lay gave the list of names to Clay Johnson, Bush's personnel director, White House spokeswoman Anne Womack said Thursday. Among the eight or so names were Pat Wood, now chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and Nora Brownell, a member of the commission. "It was one of many, many recommendations that he (Johnson) received" from industry executives, members of Congress and state officials, Womack said in an interview. Disclosure of Lay's recommendations to the White House last spring comes as congressional panels investigate the relationship between Houston-based Enron Corp., which filed for bankruptcy Dec. 2, and the Bush administration. The Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating Enron's complex accounting and what role its auditor, Arthur Andersen, played in the Houston-based company's collapse. Andersen has acknowledged destroying Enron-related documents. A senator leading an investigation said Thursday that Enron had not cooperated in providing important information on the complex web of partnerships used by the company to conceal massive debts. The company's attorney said it doesn't have the documents sought. As head of a major campaign donor, Enron, wielding significant influence in Washington, Lay enjoyed access to top government officials of both parties. The White House has acknowledged that Lay met once privately last year with Vice President Dick Cheney, who headed a task force that formulated the administration's national energy policy. Lay disclosed the existence of the list of Enron favorites in an interview being broadcast Friday on PBS' "NOW with Bill Moyers." "I brought a list, we certainly presented a list. ... As I recall, I signed a letter which in fact had some recommendations as to people that we thought would be good (FERC) commissioners," Lay said in the interview, which was taped in May but never aired. Bush, as Texas governor, had appointed Wood in 1995 as head of the state's Public Utilities Commission. Wood has been an advocate of market-oriented regulation of utilities, a position espoused by Enron, a big, aggressive energy trader that had become a favorite of Wall Street. Bush appointed Wood as FERC chairman in August, replacing Curt Hebert. Hebert said in the PBS interview that Lay "has asked me to take certain positions but I've had those conversations with Ken Lay for a long time. And have disagreed with him for a long time." Brownell, a member of Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission, was nominated by Bush in March. During her time on the state commission, Brownell helped oversee Pennsylvania's electricity deregulation. Lay will be the star witness next week as a blizzard of hearings by several congressional panels put the Enron collapse under intense public scrutiny. Enron officials "just simply have not cooperated" in providing the documents sought, said Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., chairman of a Senate Commerce subcommittee. "We again renew our request." An estimated 3,000 partnerships, some with names of "Star Wars" characters such as Jedi, were created by Enron, which took a 97 percent stake in each of them and brought in outside investors for the remainder. The partnerships were kept off Enron's books and helped create the accounting debacle that pushed the company into the biggest U.S. corporate bankruptcy filing ever. Dorgan said the committee had no immediate plan to subpoena the documents from the company. Robert Bennett, a Washington attorney representing Enron, said, "We have been fully cooperating with them." Bennett said the committee has asked Enron for documents that the company doesn't have and must be obtained from the partnerships or people representing them. "We are exercising enormous good faith in cooperating with that committee," the attorney said in a telephone interview. In a related dispute between Congress and the Bush administration, investigators at the General Accounting Office told the White House on Wednesday they would sue to make officials identify the industry executives, including some from Enron, who met last year with Cheney's energy task force Question #5:+%#---Would you please fix my mistakes and Grammar? :-))?The Poem “Night” is written by Anne Hébert which is a very interesting and touching Poem. Basically, the context of the Poem is that a man is about to die and he is willing to do so. The mood of the poem is definitely very sad but this man feels relieved and calm because he is going to die and he thinks that he will find eternal peace. For instance, when he says, “I close my eyes” it means to me that he is ready to leave the world. I also think that when he says “I decipher no mysteries" it means his time has come and there is nothing strange about that because it is natural.The speaker in this Poem the author itself, she is talking to herself, she describes in what kind of situation she is in and what she will do. The audience of the Poem, would be the night, the silence and the natural environment. There are lots of poetic devices in Poem such as similes, metaphors and foreshadowing’s. For instance a simile, when it says “like a lighthouse” it describes the heart sending its beats. Moreover, it also states that at each flash of light he closes his eyes; to put it another way it means that at each heart beat he closes his eyes, this is a personification because it compares human qualities to inanimate objects. Another example for a poetic device would be Hyperbole, such as when it says “I hear my hear sending its light and dark signals”. This is an over exaggeration which shows intensity of feelings. There is also an example of foreshadowing in the last stanza , when it says “I close my eyes”. In other words gave us an idea that the Poem would come to an end and that the man would slowly die now. To sum up, the theme of the poem is that sometimes we all fell bad about things that happen, however we should approach it differently. In fact, the best way of dealing with this kind of problems is that we should sit down and talk to someone about the problem. In brief, this a very sad and dramatic poem where feelings are tossed all over the place. I really liked this poem and I would especially recommend it to other teenagers.
