Bush to visit Aurora firm energy chief helped create


When President Bush visits Cabot Microelectronics Corp. in Aurora on Friday, he'll no doubt get some insight into making computer chips. That's Cabot's business.

But Bush also will see a company that his own energy secretary, Samuel Bodman, played a big role in creating.

Bodman headed Cabot Corp. when it spun off Cabot Microelectronics in 2000, and he was once a big stockholder and director of the microelectronics firm, federal securities filings show.

At the end of last year, Bodman owned less than $15,000 in Cabot Microelectronics shares. And he cashed out stock options in the firm last year, reaping $586,312, according to his most recent financial disclosure filing.
