“Then I do have a second amendment which I am glad to offer this evening as well. I indicated there are several organizations that have supported the amendment I have sent to the desk, the American Association for Retired Persons, AARP, the Air Conditioning Contractors of America, Consumers for Fair Competition, the Consumers Union, the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates, National Electrical Contractors Association, Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors, National Association of Public Citizens, U.S. PIRG. All of those groups support the amendment I have offered. In addition to that, we have a statement from the Bush administration which was from last year supporting FERC review of transfers of generation assets, which is part of what the amendment does that I have sent to the desk.”
