FERC Pulls Enron Documents Off Web Site

WASHINGTON -- The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Monday agreed to remove temporarily from its Web site Enron Corp. e-mails after the company complained the documents could hurt creditors in the company's separate bankruptcy proceeding, Reuters reported.

The FERC took the action shortly after Enron said it also asked a federal court of appeals to intervene.

"The commission hereby gives notice that it will remove temporarily, until April 24, 2003, Enron e-mails from the agency's Web site," the FERC said in a brief notice. "During that time, the commission will consider any requests that certain personal information or information with security implications be permanently removed from public accessibility."

Neither the FERC nor Enron publicly identified the specific information the company wanted pulled off the agency's Web site.
