customers in the BPA system. 



In short, Bonneville still has an opportunity to reduce and manage 

 costs more effectively, by rethinking how it approaches and finances key 

 program areas. 



In closing, I want to say, again, that I appreciate the opportunity to 

 present PacifiCorp's views on making Bonneville more competitive. We ail 

 have a stake in Bonneville's future, and it is in our region's best interest 

 to help the agency evolve to a role that will serve the region's electric 

 customers best. We hope to be able to continue working with the task 

 force, Bonneville, and other interests in the region as that role evolves in 

 the months and years ahead. 



Thank you.
