Army Secretary Thomas E. White is facing serious questions from Congress about ties to Enron he failed to sever upon joining the Bush administration.

White was a former vice chairman of an Enron unit but didn't divest his stock options in the failed company until January. He had told the Senate Armed Services Committee he would do so eight months prior.

The lack of disclosure has the bipartisan leaders of the committee upset. Political appointees are typically required to sever ties to companies so they won't make decisions based on personal interest.
