In Oregon, we are exploring a forum for working with Bonneville, 

 the customer-owned utiUties, the Power Council and others to an- 

 swer this question. We want and we need to find ways to capitalize 

 on each other's strengths, to compete fairly and to leverage our re- 

 spective sources. 



We have the plans in place. We just need to find creative ways 

 to implement them. Thank you.
