Dear Eric,  The White House continues to push for an economic stimulus package, 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 significant tax relief potential for energy businesses.   The Senate Commerce Committee's Consumer Affairs Subcommittee will hold its first hearing Tuesday on the collapse of Enron. 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.   When Enron wraps up its bankruptcy case, many may walk away with little or no money.  However, some will benefit from Enron's demise - bankruptcy attorneys.  On Tuesday, University of Houston Law Center Director, Dean Nancy Rapaport talks about how corporate bankruptcies equal big business for lawyers.   Continuing Enron coverage, Raymond James & Associates Oil Field Service Analyst Jim Rollyson is stopping by the Houston bureau on Thursday.  He'll talk about the effects of the Enron collapse on the oil field services industry during the 2:00 p.m. ET newscast.
