                           U.S. SENATE

     Mr. Chairman, we appreciate the opportunity to offer our views

on S. 1606 and to discuss the status of the cleanup effort at The

Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear generating station, the financial

condition of the General Public Utilities (GPU) System, and rate-

payer costs under various funding options.

     The basis for my comments today stem from three reports 1/

and follow-up work we have completed over the last 2 years con-

cerning the serious financial and operational concerns presented

by the TMI accident.

     We believe the initial steps taken by the Federal Government,

the State of Pennslyvania, and the electric utility industry were

positive signs of a willingness by the concerned parties to move

forward at TMI.

     Some progress has been made towards cleaning up TMI-2, but

funding constraints have slowed the pace for 1982 and this will

probably continue to be the case unless additional funding is made
