               HYDROELECTRIC DEVELOPMENT  AT FEDERAL
               FACILITIES  IN THE PACIFIC IORTHWEST



Mr. Chairman and Members of  the Subcommittee:


     We appreciate the opportunity  to testify today on the
development of hydroelectric and  federal water projects in the
Pacific Northwest.  My statement  this morning will focus on three
broad policy issues:


     --should the Bonneville power Administration  (Bonneville)
       and/or the Northwest Power  Planning Council (Council)
       approve Corps of Engineers  (Corps) and Bureau of
       Reclamation  (Bureau) hydroelectric projects in the Pacific
       Northwest prior  to their development?,


     --should Bonneville be required  to repay irrigation project
       construction costs  from its power sales revenues?, and


     --should the Bureau  and the Corps allow private parties to
       develop power producing  facilities at federal projects?


     My statement today  is not intended to resolve these issues,
but rather to summarize past GAO  work related to these issues.
