Excerpt from Energy and Water Development Appropriations, Vol. 1: For Fiscal Year 1994, 103d Congress, First Session The subcommittee met at 2:15 p.m., in room SD-192, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Mark O. Hatfield presiding. Present: Senators Hatfield and Gorton. Bonneville Power Administration Statement Of Randall Hardy, Administrator Accompanied By: Jack Robertson, Deputy Administrator Steve Hickok, Executive Assistant Administrator Steve Wright, Assistant Administrator For Washington, DC, Operation Norma Pizza, Head Budget Officer Opening Statement Of Senator Hatfield Senator Hatfield. The hearing will come to order. Today, this subcommittee begins its hearing on the fiscal year 1994 budget request for the Bonneville Power Administration. This afternoon, we will receive testimony from the BPA Administrator, Mr. Randall Hardy. Counting last year's budget hearing and our most recent salmon field hearing in Portland, this is Mr. Hardy's third appearance before this subcommittee. By way of contrast, this is the third BPA hearing on Capitol Hill in the last 24 hours. The DeFazio task force, under the auspices of the House Natural Resources Committee, conducted its first Bonneville hearing yesterday afternoon. The House Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee held its fiscal year 1994 BPA budget hearing this morning. As it is unlikely that any new issues will be aired at this hearing that were not discussed earlier at the House hearings, and in consideration of Mr. Hardy's physical stamina, I hope the duration of this hearing can be kept at a minimum. Mr. Hardy. Thank you, Senator. Senator Hatfield. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
