We believe additional legislation may be necessary to ensure full 

 implementation of the Power Act. A legislative package could 

 foster implementation a number of ways, including: 



o transfer Fish and Wildlife Program funds and responsibility 

 for preparing a detailed implementation plan to the Fish and 

 Wildlife Service or other fish agency; 



o establish flow and/or travel-time objectives as hard 

 constraints in the PNCA planning process; 



o hold up new contracts and agreements if the federal agencies 

 failed to stay on an implementation schedule 



The most important thing the Task Force can do is realign the 

 federal agencies under its jurisdiction with the purposes of the 

 Power Act, and rein Bonneville in from its effort to control 

 fishery decisions not under its purview. We stand ready to 

 assist you in any way we can.
