Enron International sent an airplane with equipment to remove the tree trunks and branches that are delaying efforts of the Dominican Electricity Corporation in restoring power service throughout the DR. The CDE is using machetes to cut down branches and Enron sent several power saws. The Boeing 727 cargo jet also brought clothing, blankets, medicines, food, water purification tablets, disposable diapers, batteries, and mattresses for homeless Dominicans. Kevin Manning, executive director of the company’s operations in the DR, said that the president of Enron International, Joseph Sutton, himself coordinated the efforts to help the DR. The flight arrived from Houston, Texas.
