> Dear Mr. Minister:

> It was a pleasure to meet with you here in Washington in
> mid-September, especially as Indonesia celebrates is 50th
> anniversary of independence.  I especially enjoyed participating
> with you in the "Opportunity Indonesia 95" event on September
> 13, which is a good example of how to promote new trade and
> investment opportunities between our private sector companies.
> Clearly, Indonesia's geographic location as an Asian gateway,
> its expanding economy, and focus on technology development have
> attracted many companies to take a new look at trade and
> investment opportunities in Indonesia.  I trust that the
> American firms which took part in "Opportunity Indonesia 95"
> will play a leading role in promoting further bilateral economic
> cooperation and development by establishing long-term
> partnerships with businesses in your country.
>
> In this regard, the development of the Asia Pacific Economic
> Cooperation has proven to be a powerful stimulus in each
> member's economy, as the annual summits have focused the world's
> attention on the Pacific Rim's potential to be a supplier of,
> and market for, products and services the world over.  However,
> we know that it is important that intentions and commitments
> translate into contracts.
>
> I would like to bring to your attention a number of project
> involving American companies which seem to be stalled, including
> several independent power projects.  These projects include the
> Tarahan power project, which involves Southern Electric; the gas
> powered projects in East Jave and East Kalimantan, which
> involves Enron; the Invicta power project, which involves
> British Gas with Raytheon as engineering/construction company
> and General Electric as the power equipment supplier for the
> project; and Ormat's geothermal power project at the Lahendong
> site.  I know that privatization of power generation is an
> objective of the Indonesian Government and these projects would
> aid significantly in achieving that goal.  In addition, we would
> welcome the conclusion of the negotiations on phase II of the
> auxiliary dredging equipment project with Ellicott Machine
> Corporation and on Time Warner's investment in Indonesia's
> recording sector.
>
> Your support for prompt resolution of the remaining issues
> associated with each of these projects would be most
> appreciated.  Moreover, as each project is concluded, your
> public and private sectors will demonstrate Indonesia's serious
> commitment to economic expansion by providing a stable and
> healthy climate for additional investment.  Ultimately, this
> will promote great participation by American companies in
> Indonesia's future development.  I look forward to the
> opportunity of again meeting with you in Osaka.

The Clinton/Lewinski full report is due out today!

Thanks for the info- I was not aware of this!

[PhiKapMom]

Having lived in Texas during the reign of ma, I thought Lay was involved in her Administration somehow and was actually more of a democRAT but I thought I must have dreamed it. Thanks for posting this -- I am not going nuts!

On the ill-fated Ron Brown flight, an Enron executive cancelled out. Enron and Ron Brown were tight.

Thanks.

On the ill-fated Ron Brown flight, an Enron executive cancelled out. Enron and Ron Brown were tight.

That is extremely interesting. For an Enron executive to get the word to cancel out of Ron Brown's fatal flight, Enron would have to have been tight with more people than Ron Brown.

I wonder if the DemocRATs realize what they're getting themselves into. If the Ron Brown flight matter is reopened, we -- and the DemocRATs (who may, for all we know, want this result) -- may finally be rid of the Clintons.

Can anybody confirm spectre's report about the fatal Ron Brown flight?

[spectre]

Joseph W. Sutton, president, Enron Development Corp, Houston

Google search. The list is from cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1106/news/960

Keyword on Google, Joseph W. Sutton.

[aristeides]

Thanks.

Yes, here's the link: List Of Executives On Brown Trip :

Here, according to the Associated Press, is a list of the executives who had been planning to accompany Brown on his visit to Bosnia and Croatia, and their status, if known. NOT ON BROWN'S PLANE, COMPANIES SAY: Ronald B. Woodard, president, Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, Renton, Wash. Joseph W. Sutton, president, Enron Development Corp, Houston Alfred Checchi, co-chairman, Northwest Airlines CANCELED TRIP AT LAST MOMENT: Daniel R. Bannister, president and chief executive officer of DynCorp, Reston, Va.

The list then goes on to those who were on the flight, and died.

Among those who missed the flight, Checchi is a highly connected DemocRAT who later tried to run for governor of California. Dyncorp is a "private" outfit that does a lot of contract work for the CIA. Boeing should speak for itself.

No Democrat will reopen the Ron Brown flight. The Bush administration will not reopen the Ron Brown flight. Don't expect many beyond FreeRepublic to reopen the Ron Brown flight.

[aristeides]

I realize, given the way people have behaved with respect to that flight up to now, that you're probably right. But I must say, the assiduous lack of interest most people display about the Ron Brown flight puzzles me greatly. What explains it? I thought everybody loved a mystery.

[Alamo-Girl]

I see you've found the information. For lurkers, more on Ron Brown contained here.

[Fred Mertz]

Thanks much, spectre's wife, for the excellent research.

[Plummz]

Jesse Jackson, the Brown family and the Congressional Black Caucus initially asked questions, but they shut up. The son got a nice job with the DNC.

Bob Grant raised questions and Disney promptly booted him from his post-Limbaugh slot on flagship station WABC-FM in favor of Sean Hannity. And that was the last heard on the matter outside of FreeRepublic and WorldNetDaily.

[backhoe]

I was wondering on another thread if we at FR should do some opposition research on Waxman
( a man I truly despise! )
and send the links to Rush, Hannity, etc.?

Appreciate the link- I'll use it!

Locator bump!

Enron is more tied to the bubba bunch than the Bush crowd.

B, I think your right. During the election the democrats were hollering about Bush and his oil connections. IMHO the democrats knew this was about to happen, and somehow had to try to spin it off onto Bush, weather he became president or not. It ain't working that way however.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

"No Democrat will reopen the Ron Brown flight. The Bush administration will not reopen the Ron Brown flight. Don't expect many beyond FreeRepublic to reopen the Ron Brown flight."

Maybe not. But the Clinton crime gang KNOW that a deep exploration of Enron connections to political figures WILL BREAK WIDE OPEN THEIR COZY COMMERCE FLIGHTS FOR CAMPAIGN CASH - and it wouldn't take much to move from that little nightmare into what really happened to those unfortunate ones on Ron Brown's final flight - which has already been shown did not have the Enron exec on it - who was, however, with Ron Brown and the others at that particular time on its swing through the Balkans - just not on that plane!

Precisely!
