last article on the web page Bush and Enron Go a Long Way Back President George W. Bush is eager to distance himself from Enron these days.... Since Enron's bankruptcy has done thousands of employees out of their life savings, The Nation has revived an article from 1994 about how W. used his family name some years earlier to try to persuade the government of Argentina to let Enron build a pipeline through that country. The incident was also reported two years ago in Mother Jones. In 1988, just after his father had been elected president, the younger Bush called Argentine Minister of Public Works and Services Rodolfo Terragno, who later described the conversation to Nation editor David Corn. At the time, the Argentine government was discussing the possibility of building a pipeline through the country to carry natural gas to Chile. Enron wanted to build the pipeline, but was annoying Terragno with requests to buy natural gas from Argentina's state-run gas company at cut-rate prices, and the proposal Enron had written was shoddy and incomplete. Terragno put them off..... Terragno's statements show that W.'s friendship with former Enron CEO Ken Lay is only the tip of the iceberg of the Bush family's relationship with Enron. They also show that the family's ties to the energy industry are so far-reaching that much of the truth about them lies outside the United States. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ctrl/message/13367 Charges of collusion with Enron, big losses raise questions about J.P. Morgan's judgment By E. Scott Reckard Los Angeles Times February 1, 2002 In the rubble of recent financial collapses, one prestigious institution seems especially vulnerable: J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., the nation's second-largest bank. The New York company, a lead lender to Enron Corp., Kmart Corp., and telecommunications firm Global Crossing Ltd., is at risk of losing billions in dealings with bankrupt firms, as well as losing heavily in Argentina's economic meltdown. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
