Ex-Enron CEO will take the Fifth BY MARCY GORDON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Former Enron chairman Kenneth Lay will assert his right against self incrimination and refuse to an swer questions when he appears before Congress under subpoena this week, his spokeswoman said Sunday night. “Under the instruction of counsel, Mr. Lay will exercise his Fifth Amendment rights at the Tuesday hearing,” Kelly Kimberly said in Houston. She declined further comment. Two committees snubbed by Lay a week ago have issued sub poenas compelling him to appear. Some lawmakers had said they expected he would assert his con stitutional right against self-in crimination, though his attorney had not previously indicated he would do so. “We will be respectful but tough,” in questioning Lay, Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., chairman of a Senate Commerce panel on consumer affairs, had told CNN earlier Sunday. Lay has been subpoenaed to appear Tuesday before the Senate Commerce Committee and on Thursday at a hearing of the House Financial Services sub committee on capital markets. Lawmakers say they have not considered granting immunity from prosecution to Lay or other Enron executives in return for their testimony because they do not want to interfere with the Justice Department’s criminal in vestigation of Enron. Congress can compel witnesses to show up but cannot force them to answer po tentially incriminating questions without granting them immunity from criminal prosecution. Lay’s colleague at Enron, for mer chief executive officer Jeffrey Skilling, testified last week. But a number of leaders of Congress’ investigations of the Enron collapse made clear earlier Sunday that they didn’t believe the sworn testimony of Skilling. • One suggested Skilling could face accusations of perjury as a result of his testimony. Lay, who was a friend and po litical backer of President Bush, has not spoken publicly about the Enron disaster since the compa ny entered bankruptcy in December. ll I MBSftgafcw.

Knotts CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Committee member, defended the recommendation. Adams said this proposed merger was different from a previous attempt by the universi ty to fold the college into another academic department. He said that proposal was just focused on crimi nal justice. “This is primarily a result of consolidating not one college, but many colleges,” Adams said. The SDI Committee recommend ed, among other proposals, merging several colleges into a College of Health Sciences and several others into a College of Fine and Performing Arts. The committee also recommended combining the College of Journalism and Mass Communications with the College of Library and Information Sciences.
