munity, we're not asking for a guaranteed win. We're not asking 

 for the government to pick and choose the winners and losers. 

 We're asking for a fair process in which the winners and losers 

 have a chance to emerge on the merits and this is a critical part 

 of ensuring that fair process. 



Bonneville was well under way toward delivering it in 1991 and 

 that effort should now go forward again. 



I will conclude by simply noting that the first BPA Administrator 

 that I knew used to complain that most people couldn't see the 

 handwriting on the wall until their backs were up against it. This 

 is a room full of individuals who are prepared to spend the months 

 ahead refuting that doleful prediction. 



And, Mr, Chairman, I just want to thank you for all you're doing 

 to bring us together and to galvanize this into action. Thank you, 



[Prepared statement of Mr. Cavanagh follows:]
