is a model comprehensive plginning document. It sets forth the 

 clear and decisive agenda for regional commitment. 



We think that the Coimcil could take much more of a leadership 

 role, however, and we'd like to see a more proactive and strategic 

 approach, all focused on the same goal. 



On the externality issue, we believe that one thing that has not 

 properly been addressed is CO2 and that needs a lot of attention. 



In simimary, we think BPA has provided leadership and can con- 

 tinue that leadership role by developing flexible programs that ad- 

 dress the needs of the commercial, industrial and institutional sec- 

 tors. 



It's these areas that have the greatest opportunities and we're 

 more than willing to work with BPA or its customers to bring our 

 experience — ^to bring comprehensive projects in and not cream- 

 skimming. 



Thank you, sir.
