SACRAMENTO (AP) - A contempt citation against Houston-based Enron Corp. has 
been presented to the full Senate by the committee investigating possible 
price manipulation in California's energy market. 
The Senate Select Committee to Investigate Price Manipulation of the 
Wholesale Energy Market initiated contempt proceedings after the company 
failed to turn over subpoenaed documents.
Enron sued the state July 11 in an attempt to stop the subpoena of its 
financial and electricity trading records. That suit remains unresolved. 
The committee delivered a report on the contempt charges to the Senate on 
Saturday. The Senate Rules Committee will consider the vote before the full 
Senate takes it up. 
The Senate recessed early Sunday for summer break and won't return until Aug. 
20, delaying any action until then. 
If the Senate approves the report and finds Enron in contempt,it would be the 
first such move since 1929. The Senate could impose sanctions, but here are 
no set penalties. 
The last time the Senate imposed contempt sanctions was 72 years ago, when it 
briefly jailed balky witnesses during a committee's investigation of price 
fixing and price gouging allegations involving the sale of cement to the 
state. 
The state Supreme Court eventually upheld the Senate's right to jail those 
who fail to comply with its subpoenas, but determined senators hadn't 
followed all the proper procedures in the cement sale investigation.
