The Honorable Philip R. Sharp
Chairman
Subcommittee on Energy and Power
Committee on Energy and Commerce
House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Chairman:

This letter responds to your September 11, 1992, request
that, among other things, we evaluate two cash flow
projections developed by the Timbers Corporation for the
proposed uranium enrichment corporation (UEC) that would
be created by H.R.776. In addition, as you requested, we
are providing you with a revised cash flow projection for
the proposed new corporation as contained in H.R.776. Our
revised projection will aid you and your staff as you work
with the conference committee considering the uranium
enrichment restructuring provisions of the energy policy
bills passed by the House and the Senate.

In summary, the two projections prepared by the Timbers
Corporation in March 1992 should not be used to predict
expected cash flows for the proposed corporation. These
projections incorporate several assumptions that would not
apply to the corporation that would be created by H.R.776
as passed by the House in May 1992. In addition, the
projections use revenue and cost figures that need to be
updated or revised because of recent program changes. Our
revised projection uses more recent Department of Energy
(DOE) revenue and cost estimates and makes adjustments to
reflect recent changes in H.R.776. The revised projection
shows that from 1993 through 2005, the corporation will
return revenues totaling about $3.8 billion to the
government.

In March 1992 the Timbers Corporation prepared two cash
flow projections for the proposed enrichment corporation
that would have been established by H.R.776 as approved by
the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The first
