Seems to me I have read some place within the past couple of days that Ken Bentsen, Dem congressman from Houston and Lloyd Bentsen's son, has been a big recipient of Enron money. If Ken Bentsen has been so connected, Lloyd Bentsen's possible connections with Enron deserve investigation, I think.

Marked for later action. Waxman, the reformer,needs to hear about this!!!

A couple of things regarding Bentsen... He's now running for the Democrat nominee to be their candidate to fill the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Gramm. Also he is a nephew of Lloyd Bentsen, not his son. Enron has passed money to many politicans..... Democrat and Republican.....
