QUESTIONS FOR HERBERT S. WINOKUR, JR., CHAIRMAN, ENRON FINANCE COMMITTEE, IN RESPONSE TO HIS CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY ON MAY 7, 2002 AS IT RELATES TO HIS AND HIS PARTNERS PROFITS FROM PRIVITIZATION AND DEREGULATION AND THE RELATED GROWTH OF GLOBAL POVERTY

Given the costs of both Enron’s success and failure on ordinary men and women in the US and globally, we would like to also ask you some questions about the impact of you and your various investments on communities and taxpayers worldwide.
Latin America:
- Your company DynCorp has significant government contracts supporting the War on Drugs in Colombia, Peru and Bolivia funded by the U.S. taxpayers. Do you believe that your activities are helping to eradicate illegal narcotics or simply to ensure that private investors control the land and cash flows related to illegal narcotics and other assets in Latin America? What are the implications to US tax supported credit in the region?
