 	 	    Dear Charlie,  International Correspondent Wolfgang Vale is on his way to the 115th OPEC Conference Tuesday and Wednesday, and is scheduled to speak with OPEC Secretary General Ali Rodriguez.  We'll bring you Wolfgang's exclusive interview with Rodriguez later next week.  Wolfgang also tells us he may have an interview with Senior Energy Analyst at the Center for Global Energy Studies Julian Lee.  Log on all next week for updates from Wolfgang's trip.   The House and Senate are back in session next week, and Washington Bureau Chief Jay Cranford expects a chaotic week of reorganization ahead.  The power shift in the Senate is the big news on Capitol Hill, and Jay anticipates official movement to begin by Tuesday.  The Washington bureau will follow the changes taking place in leadership and the key energy chairmanships.     Jay also says Interior Secretary Gale Norton is scheduled to testify before the House Resources Committee.  She's expected to defend the administration's national energy policy.  Additionally next week, the House Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee will conduct a hearing on conservation and energy efficiency.  We'll follow these stories and more from the Washington bureau next week.     Houston Correspondent Kim Benestante reports the current boom in the energy industry is creating a need for qualified employees.  Next week Kim is scheduled to take a look at companies implementing training programs for high school and college students that groom them for positions within the industry.     Also from Houston, ENL's Gale Smith brings us a report on minority-owned energy-related businesses.  Gale is scheduled to speak with a Houston businessman who turned his company into a multi-million dollar operation that employs mostly minorities.  The Houston bureau will bring us details next week.   We're also scheduled to talk with Vice President of Omega Oil Company Andy Ashby from Houston next week.  Ashby knows the ins and outs of production methods, and will discuss below the reservoir production, coal bed methane production and domestic oil and gas production.  We're scheduled to speak with Ashby on Tuesday.    I'm leaving for vacation on Friday, and ENL's Stephanie Stanton and Washington Correspondent Peter Cook are sharing anchoring duties next week.  I'm also passing the pen to Peter.  He'll bring you the nightly e-mail wrap while I'm away.      Keep in mind things are subject to change at a moment's notice.  Occasionally guests cancel or change time slots.  We'll continue to do our best to keep you updated on future interviews and events.
