White House Gets 24 Hours to Turn Over Enron Papers White House officials were given 24 more hours today to turn over information about their contacts with Enron, as the administration and Democrats on the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee debated how thousands of pages of documents covered by subpoenas would be handled by investigators on the panel. Even so, both Democratic and Republican staff members from the panel began reviewing the documents this afternoon in the Eisenhower executive office building. In another development today, Texas utility regulators recommended fining Enron $7.1 million because they say that the company manipulated the state's wholesale power market last August. The White House counsel, Alberto R. Gonzales, said officials had already gathered 1,745 pages of documents detailing the White House's Enron-related contacts that were subpoenaed two weeks ago by the governmental affairs panel, which is led by Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, Democrat of Connecticut. Other documents are still being gathered by the White House, Mr. Gonzales said. The White House, which faced a deadline of noon today to hand over the materials to the committee, received a one-day extension after the committee's ranking Republican, Senator Fred Thompson of Tennessee, asked Mr. Lieberman for the delay. But the White House agreed that committee staff members could begin reviewing the materials immediately. The committee voted along party lines on May 22 to issue two subpoenas to the White House, seeking all information about communications between Enron and the White House since 1992 that in any way dealt with eight federal agencies, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the subpoenas seek information about contacts between White House officials and officials at the eight agencies regarding Enron. They also seek contacts between Enron and the White House over the formulation of the national energy policy. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/04/business/04ENRO.html
