Dear Eric,  Let the Enron hearings begin - both the Senate and House begin hearings on the fallen energy giant Thursday.  The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee hearing will focus on whether federal agencies should have foreseen the company's demise.  A second Enron hearing on Thursday in the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Oversight and Investigations subcommittee will look into the destruction of Enron-related documents by Andersen.  The Washington bureau will have live reports and highlights from the hearings on Capitol Hill throughout the day.   Also from Washington on Thursday, another Senate subcommittee will look at whether it's time to raise the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards.  Senate Democrats are expected to add CAFE increases in their comprehensive energy bill and this hearing is the next step in the process.     Vinson & Elkins attorney Bill Weiland talks with the Houston bureau about bringing oil and gas from Russia to the United States through the Caspian region. Weiland says there are rules over which countries' ships are allowed into ports in the Caspian Sea.  On Thursday, Weiland will talk about the complications and added expenses these rules place on U.S. imports from the Caspian region.       Also from Houston, we'll have a report on a class-action lawsuit filed against Andersen.  The plaintiffs are accusing the auditing firm of racketeering.  This is the first lawsuit against Andersen charging the firm with violations under the RICO act.   From the West Coast on Thursday, Portland General Electric Spokesperson Scott Simms joins us to discuss electricity restructuring in Oregon.  ENL's Kym McNicholas will speak with Simms about some new options for electricity customers starting March 1, 2002.  Simms joins us during the 1:00 p.m. ET newscast.
