                                 ENRON

  (Mr. DeFAZIO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, finally, finally Enron chief executive 
Kenneth Lay, or ``Ken Boy'' as the President affectionately called him, 
has been indicted and done the perp walk. He masterminded Enron, a 
corporation that built billions from millions in the Western United 
States while his employees gloated about sticking it to Grandma Milly. 
Every Oregonian is paying 40 percent more for their electricity because 
of manipulation of the market by Enron.
  Now the President does not return Ken Boy's calls anymore despite his 
past generosity, but the President should do more. The President should 
return the $139,500 Ken Lay personally contributed to him, the $602,625 
that Enron gave to President Bush. This is money stolen from Grandma 
Milly and other Western consumers, and the President should give it to 
a low-income energy assistance fund. It is tainted money. Let us put 
this chapter behind us, but let us have restitution, Mr. President.
