the State of Virginia recently enacted a law to delay our utilities from joining a regional transmission organization until July 2004. There is great concern in my State that the benefit that our consumers enjoy, low-price electricity, will not stay in our State if our utilities join an RTO.

At this time, I would ask the chairman if he can assist me.
