It would be constructive to have a voice on the Power Council from eastern Oregon. 

 However, the fact that the Governor said she would veto a bill in the Oregon Legislature 

 to require a member from eastern Oregon, tells us that when her Administration hears 

 eastern Oregon, they think we're talking about Gresham. 



Mr. Chairman, I look forward to this testimony we will hear today, and am hopeful that it 

 will shed some light on how BPA can improve their conservation and resource acquisition 

 programs. 



Thank you.
