No problem. Why fight the truth?
Just wanted to get this additional info out while Enron is in the headlines.
Especially since Ken Bentsen says "I think it would be premature for Congress to look into what happened because the story is still unfolding." Could he be trying to protect his uncle Lloyd's reputation?
In one Senate election campaign, the Democrat (Lloyd Bentsen) received more than 14,000 dollars from Enron. According to data provided to IPS by the research group, Centre for Responsive Politics, the amount is (sic) the second highest paid out by Enron to a political campaign.
I wonder how much $14,000 meant to Enron in those days? I bet it meant a lot to Lloyd Bentsen back then.
[Houston Technology Center's] board reads like a Who's Who of the city's business, academic and science leaders.
Its chairman is Lloyd Bentsen III, son of the former Treasury secretary and a venture capitalist.
Members include George Abbey, director of the Johnson Space Center; Michael Capellas, chief executive at Compaq; Ralph Feigin, president of Baylor University; and Malcolm Gillis, president of Rice. The most recent to sign on: Jeffrey Skilling, president of Enron, and Max Watson, chairman of BMC Software. The center also managed to snag personnel from Enron, consulting firm McKinsey & Co., Rice and NASA to work at the center on a pro bono basis.
