                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of Congress that the Attorney General should 
  appoint a special counsel on matters relating to Enron Corporation.

Whereas officers and directors of Enron Corporation sold $1,000,000,000 worth of 
        stock in the company during the period from October 1998 to November 
        2001;
Whereas Enron executives had 6 separate meetings with the Vice President or the 
        White House energy task force during the period from February 22, 2001, 
        to October 10, 2001;
Whereas Enron was the seventh largest company in the United States in 2000, with 
        revenues of more than $100,000,000,000 and a stock value of more than 
        $90 per share;
Whereas the collapse of Enron, and the resulting decline in stock value to less 
        than $1 per share, has hurt thousands of workers throughout the country 
        whose 401(k) portfolios contained Enron stock;
Whereas Enron was one of the largest contributors to President Bush's 
        presidential campaign, donating $110,000 to the campaign; and
Whereas Enron officers, directors, and employees have been a significant 
        contributor to President Bush from before the presidential campaign, 
        donating nearly $2,000,000 in support since 1993: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that the Attorney General should 
appoint a special counsel on matters relating to Enron Corporation, 
including--
            (1) the relationship between Enron and the manipulation in 
        the stock market of its value per share;
            (2) the relationship between contributions by Enron to the 
        President, the Vice President, Cabinet officers, and other 
        Administration officials and Enron's rise and fall;
            (3) the influence of Enron on Federal and State 
        legislation, including in particular the effort to deregulate 
        the energy markets; and
            (4) the relationship between Enron and the Federal and 
        State regulatory system.
