Dear Mr. Chairman:

,Subject: CAlignment of Recommepdations in EMD-79-105
with Senate bill 88. (EMD-80-35)

Your recent letter requested that we give our views on
how Senate bill 885, the Pacific Northwest Electric Planning
and Conservation Act, aligns with the recommendations made
in our recent report. 1/ This report addressed three
primary issues of House bill 3508, the unamended version
of Senate bill 885. The three issues were:

--Could the legislation expose regional power
consumers to more rate increases from con-
struction cost overruns on non-Federal power
plants backed by the Bonneville Power
Administration?

--How would passage or failure of the legislation
impact on Bonneville's direct service industrial
customers?

--How would the legislation impact on runs of
anadromous salmon and steelhead trout in the
Columbia River system? 71
