Mr. Pace is mistaken on the facts. If the matter of the power subsidy was a simple as letting the contract expire, there would have been no need for lengthy Public Utility Commission proceedings in both Oregon and California to determine whether or not the subsidies would continue.  And the Klamath irrigators and federal government would not have expended considerable resources and costly attorney time fighting against PacifiCorp, salmon fishermen, and conservationists in both these proceedings.  Anyone who is interested in the facts of this matter should refer to  Oregon Public Utility Commission rate proceedings UE 170 and 171 during the years 2005 and 2006, as well as California Public Utility Commission proceeding A.05-11-022 of year 2006.
