FORMER ENRON CEO KENNETH LAY SWORN IN BEFORE TAKING FIFTH ON CAPITOL HILL, 2002-02-12 (photo)

Former Enron Corp. Chairman Kenneth Lay is sworn in before refusing to answer questions from lawmakers about his role in the collapse of the former energy trading giant for fear of incriminating himself on Capitol Hill, February 12, 2002. "After agonizing consideration, I cannot disregard my counsel's instruction, therefore I must respectfully decline to answer on Fifth Amendment grounds all the questions of this committee and subcommittee and of those of any other congressional committee and subcommittee," a somber Lay said in his first appearance before Congress since the company filed for bankruptcy in December.
