On the recordApril 20, 2005
As my colleague from Texas knows, the electricity title is very, very important to my consumers and my constituents in the southeast as well as in the northwest, and one of the provisions in the title that is not there is regarding participatory funding. Since that is a fairly standard thought-out thing in regional transmission organizations, I am concerned that the bill does not have any language in there to assure me and my constituents that they are not going to have to pay extra. We do really want to help people that are having blackouts and brownouts, but we do not think we should pay the whole load. What can I anticipate on participatory funding down the road?

Of course our amendment does not do that. It simply applies to every jurisdiction in the country equally, equal protection under the law. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Deal).
