| Message | We would support this bill in its current form. |

| Message | This will provide more of an oppertunity for private power companies to become prevelant while still ensuring that the transition process of going away from the reliable serivce we have now towards private untested ownership is smooth. That was a long sentence, i know, but stick with it. It is as gold as this bill. Admitingly, I would still rather start with small private firms and phase in more as time goes on but if this what it takes to ensure that we have real competition in the power field, so be it. |

| Message | We, also, would prefer the gradual approach, but in the interest of teamwork can support this proposal. |

| Message | I will support this bill, however I will insist that electricity be totally private relatively soon. Therefore I support this as an incremental approach - not a gradual one. Gradual reform is too slow in this case; the whole system must be reformed in no more than a few years. |

| Message | We support - this legislation is at the very least a step in the right direction. We would like to see power-stations completely privatized in future, but we understand that privatization is a gradual process, and so this is certainly a good place to begin. |
