Dear Eric,  Details of two major pieces of energy legislation were released this week.  Washington Bureau Chief Peter Cook says we'll have more reaction on Friday to the Senate Democrats' comprehensive energy bill. We'll also have reaction to House Energy and Air Quality Chairman Joe Barton's electricity legislation.  Barton talked about the legislation on ENL Thursday afternoon and you can watch that interview in its entirety in ENL's Video Library.  On Friday during the noon ET newscast we'll hear what the American Public Power Association thinks of the bill.   The Washington bureau will also take a closer look at the debate over vehicle fuel economy standards.  A hearing took place on Thursday in the Senate.  We'll bring you the follow-up on Friday.    We'll also have the latest on the Enron situation from Washington.  Company Chairman Ken Lay is currently scheduled to participate in a hearing on the Hill next week.   On Friday, Houston Bureau Chief Myra Jolivet says we'll speak with Ann Baker Ronn and Karen Churchfield of the AFP Financial Planning Group.  They'll join us to discuss what effect the Enron business dealings are having on 401(k) programs.  Ronn and Churchfield will also discuss retirement savings and ways to avoid going down with the company in bad situations.    The electronic trading organization Tradespark is rebuilding after devastating staff losses in the attacks from September 11. On Friday, the Houston bureau will speak with Tradespark Managing Director Michael Williams about the companies operations after 9/11.   We'll also have more from the Gulf of Mexico offshore drilling conference in Houston.  Companies at the conference are exhibiting the latest technology and information from the offshore business sector.     We've got more live coverage on Friday from Platts' Day of the Trader Conference in Las Vegas.  Don't miss reports from West Coast Correspondent Kym McNicholas, live from the conference tomorrow.
