Aside from our contractual obligations. BPA tnink.s It makes good buslr-ess 

 sense to enter Into future comme'cial arrangeTients with the DSIs. Tne^e are 

 many attractive attrioutes associated with DSi loads, primarily based on the 

 economies that result from operation of our system to take advantage of light 

 loadhoors and nonfirm ene'gy availability to serve a portion of that load. We 

 will continue to work, with the DSIs and other customers and interested parties 

 in the oower sales contract renegotiation process to explore the issues of 

 future ser.ice. 



I hope this letter has been helpful to you. If you have additional questions 

 or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
