Draft of Questions [from Catherine Austin Fitts] for:

Mr. Herbert S. ("Pug") Winokur
Chairman, Finance Committee, Enron
in response to his Congressional testimony [Feb. 7, 2002]:

Today in Testimony you said that the Enron bankruptcy was a result of management and Arthur Anderson and Vinson Elkins lying to you and the other directors and not doing their job, so can you explain:

1. Why your company Dyncorp uses Arthur Anderson as it auditor? I am assuming that you as a lead investor and board member in DynCorp would not jeopardize your investment and shareholder's investment by retaining an auditor who had mislead you and a board in a manner that would lead to such a collapse.

2. Why as a member of Harvard Corporation's board, would you have less foresight than your largest money manager Highfields Capital as well as your fellow board members, who all had the foresight to make substantial profits from selling Enron stock while you and your board members were in this state of "unaware" you so well described. How is that Highfields had access to this information and you did not?

3. As a member of Harvard Corporation's board and a GP of Capricorn Holding's partnerships, are you taking the appropriate action to have Vinson & Elkins and Arthur Anderson removed from any relationship or work for any of the investments of these entities? Under the laws governing your responsibilities, what is the liability to you and your fellow fiduciaries of firms that you say are responsible for causing the biggest bankruptcy in history and doing so by helping management mislead the board.

4. Is the timing of the Power's report and your testimony AFTER all the Arthur Anderson and Enron documents had been shredded and Enron OnLine, the Enron group with all the large mysterious trading with Citigroup, JP Morgan, UBS, DeutscheBank and the other large banks active with Enron in the offshore derivative and gold markets, indicative or more than coincidental?

5. Given the performance of your auditor on Enron and on DynCorp, do you believe that the federal government should continue to outsource large amounts of its most sensitive information systems and accounting and payments systems to companies like Arthur Anderson?

6. Do you believe that it is a conflict of interest for your company DynCorp to manage many of the information systems for the people working on criminal investigations of you and your colleague's role in Enron fraud and obstruction of justice, and fraud and obstruction of justice by their accountants and attorneys?

7. Would you care to comment on why HUD and DOD and some of the other federal agencies which your company DynCorp manages, highly sensitive information systems, are reported to be missing so much money; over $3 trillion since fall of 1997? Do you have any idea where that money is or how it was laundered out of the country into offshore accounts? As a highly experienced financial fiduciary with intimate knowledge of the federal information systems as the former Chairman and current board member of DynCorp, perhaps you could illuminate for us some of the ways that this much money could be fraudulently moved out of the bank accounts held by the NY Fed and its members as depository and trustee for these agencies and moved off shore through thousands of off shore subsidiaries and special purpose entities?

8. In light of the fact that the federal government is paying millions to have private contractors manage their accounting and information systems, yet those systems never seem to work and now trillions are missing, would you care to comment as to whether outsourcing our financial systems to private contractors whose investors profit from other companies who are selling goods and services to these agencies makes sense?

9. Under the standards of sound fiduciary management, you as board member and chair of the Finance Committee are responsible to ensure that the company's finances are properly managed. If you are someone who is so easily mislead by management, attorneys and auditors, do you consider yourself competent to serve on any boards of directors of organizations with large financial and resource responsibilities? Based on the results to shareholders, creditors and taxpayers, do you draw any connection between the performance of Enron or government agencies losing billions of other people's money and your performance as board member or contractor?
