      <p>Dear Mike,</p> 
<!-- This mail was sent to "Mike Grigsby" <Mike.Grigsby@enron.com>, who belongs to list

<!-- CONTENT START -->

<p>The <b>White House continues to push for an economic stimulus
package</b>, with time running out for Democrats and Republicans trying
to reach a deal.  Washington Bureau Chief Peter Cook says on Tuesday,
we'll continue to watch for developments with the stimulus legislation.
Some of the proposals contain <b>significant tax relief potential for
energy businesses</b>.
<p>The <b>Senate Commerce Committee's Consumer Affairs Subcommittee</b>
will hold its <b>first hearing Tuesday on the collapse of Enron</b>.
Peter says like the previous hearing on the House side, Enron management
is not expected to take part.  At least one Enron shareholder will
participate.
<p>When Enron wraps up its bankruptcy case, many may walk away with
little or no money.  However, <b>some will benefit from Enron's demise -
bankruptcy attorneys</b>.  On Tuesday, <b>University of Houston Law
Center Director, Dean Nancy Rapaport</b> talks about how corporate
bankruptcies equal big business for lawyers.
<p>Continuing Enron coverage, <b>Raymond James & Associates Oil Field
Service Analyst Jim Rollyson</b> is stopping by the Houston bureau on
Thursday.  He'll talk about the effects of the <b>Enron collapse on the
oil field services industry</b> during the 2:00 p.m. ET newscast.
<p><b>UBS PaineWebber First Vice President of Investments Robert
Young</b> will also join us from the Houston bureau on Tuesday.  He'll
bring us up to speed on <b>how the investment community views companies
cutting expenses</b>.  Catch Young during the 10:00 a.m. ET newscast
tomorrow.
<p>West Coast Correspondent Kym McNicholas will talk with <b>California
ISO President Terry Winter</b> on Tuesday about <b>transmission
constraints in the San Francisco Bay Area</b> and the outlook for this
winter and next summer.
