Peter Fisher
Harvard affiliation: JD, Harvard
Enron affiliation: Undesecretary of the Treasury; implicated in Enron scandal Citgroup Chairman Robert Rubin (see below) called Mr. Fisher to inquire about the possibility of Federal intervention in support of Enron. The New York Times reports:
It was Fisher's role as the administration's liaison to the markets that led Robert E. Rubin, the former Treasury secretary who is now chairman of the executive committee at Citigroup, one of Enron's two main lenders, to call him about the situation.
It also made Mr. Fisher a natural point of contact for Enron itself. Whether simply to keep the government informed of financial problems at the dominant player in the burgeoning business of trading energy, as Enron says it was doing, or seeking assistance as it fought to survive, as the administration has suggested twice in recent days was the case, Mr. Fisher was clearly the go-to guy.
In a government filing, Fisher recently disclosed that he owns at least 10,000 shares of Enron stock.

Enron affiliation: Chief White House economist; Enron advisory board; Citigroup consultant Lindsey's proximity to the president place him at the center of inquiry regarding Enron's relationship to the White House before and after the company's collapse. The New York Times reports, "Before he became the president's top economic counselor, Lawrence B. Lindsey was a paid adviser to Enron." Lindsey's position at Enron and consulting for Citigroup, Enron's banker, will continue to raise questions about the White House's relationship to the Enron scandal.

Rubin appointed to Harvard Corporation
By Associated Press,
4/7/2002CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin was appointed to Harvard University's executive governing board, the university announced Sunday.
Rubin, who served as President Clinton's Treasury Secretary from 1995 to 1999, will join the Harvard Corporation on July 1, 2002. . .
As one of the board's seven members, Rubin will work closely with university President Lawrence Summers, who served as deputy in Rubin's Treasury Department. Summers was appointed to the top post in 1999 when Rubin left to become chairman of the executive committee of financial giant Citigroup. . .
Rubin's appointment came two days after the resignation of another Harvard Corporation fellow, Herbert Winokur, head of the finance committee on Enron's board of directors, announced Friday that he would step down from the Harvard board, citing concerns that his connection to the bankrupt energy giant had become a distraction. . .MORE

By THANASSIS CAMBANIS,
