Dear Mr. Bowsher: 



I recently announced my Intent to establish within the 

 Committee a Task Force on the Bonneville Power Administration to 

 review the many critical issues confronting BPA and the Northwest 

 region, including electric power resource acquisition, water 

 management, endangered salmon, and financial reform. As part of 

 this review, X request that GAO prepare a summary of all the work 

 it has done regarding BPA and other federal agencies involved In 

 the operations of the BPA system subsequent to the passage of the 

 Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act of 

 1980. If possible, I request that this summary be completed 

 before March 31, 1993, so that the Task Force can utilize it 

 prior to holding its first hearing. 



Thank you for your assistance.
