The sudden collapse of Enron Corporation -- formerly the seventh-largest company in the country, with 2000 revenues of over $100 billion -- has raised a number of questions. Serious allegations of fraud and self-dealing have been made against Enron’s officers and directors, who reportedly sold over $1 billion worth of stock in the company from October 1998 through November 2001. Questions have also been raised about the company’s close relationship to the Bush Administration.

Waxman and Senator Boxer also ask Secretary White about news accounts that Enron Energy Services (EES) set up a fake trading floor to mislead visiting analysts while Secretary White was EES vice chairman.
