Government Reform < ranking member Henry Waxman, D-Calif., asked Burton to conduct a < hearing on what took place at the Cheney group's secret meetings < and the identities of all participants. "The Cheney task force < has conducted its meetings in private, and reportedly has < obtained input from private citizens and groups, including < political contributors," Waxman wrote in the letter. The AP < reported last month that GOP contributors - including executives < from power wholesaler Enron and the Edison Electric Institute, < the utility industry lobbying group - had met with Cheney to < discuss energy policy. A committee spokesman said the Republican < staff has not had a chance to discuss the letter with Burton. <
