             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 request that we provide
             additional information to supplement the cash flow
             projection previously presented in our letter UEC Cash
             Flow Projection (GAO/RCED-92-292R, Sept. 17, 1992) and
             that we provide a figure for the present value of the net
             operating income of the Uranium Enrichment Corporation
             (UEC) as would be established by the version of H.R. 776
             passed by the House. In addition, because the provisions
             of H.R. 776 require certain payments to the U.S. Treasury,
             we are providing the net present value of these projected
             future payments.

             In summary, we generated a cash flow projection similar to
             the projection in our September 17, 1992, letter. We
             extended the cash flow projection through 20111 and made
             some other minor changes. We then computed the present
             value of the revised projected net operating income to be
             about $5.2 billion in 1993 dollars. We note, however,
             that any estimate of earnings from uranium enrichment
             operations, whether performed by the UEC or the Department
             of Energy (DOE), is subject to major uncertainties because
             of the inherent difficulty in determining the amount and
             selling price of the enrichment services. Important
             market developments that are presently unforeseen could
             imply significant changes in the estimate. We used recent
             DOE revenue and cost estimates, which are subject to these
             uncertainties, for its uranium enrichment enterprise and
             adjusted them to reflect the requirements that would be
             established under H.R. 776.


             'DOE had no projections beyond 2011.
