Faulkner said in his letter to Bush.

Documents show the two met just two weeks before Harken's controversial sale in 1989 of its Aloha Petroleum subsidiary, a transaction which critics have compared to the accounting irregularities at bankrupt energy trader Enron Corp. .

The company's initial treatment of the Aloha sale significantly understated the losses Harken first reported for 1989. Under a subsequent agreement with the SEC, Harken restated its financial statements for 1989 and for the first nine months of 1990. As a result of accounting changes, Harken's 1989 loss widened to $12.57 million from the $3.33 million loss initially reported.

Bush has denied wrongdoing, saying the Aloha matter reflected an honest disagreement over accounting. "All I can tell you is, that in the corporate world, sometimes things aren't exactly black and white when it comes to accounting procedures," he said earlier this month.
