The subpoena for production of documents calls for

~

documents from Gulf States Utilities Company ("GSU") that are relevant to the general issue of competition in the electric utility industry and, in particular, in Texas and adjacent areas. Areas addressed by the request include the effect of changing fuel supplies and of fuel planning on generation costs of utilities in Texas and adjacent areas; the extent of joint planning of generation and transmission facilities in Texas; relations of GSU, a company operating in interstate commerce, sith members of TIS, entirely intrastate; relations of GSU with municipal utilities (such as Brownsville) and cooperative utilities that are located in Texas.

The subpoena for deposition is directed towards a representative of Union Carbide Company, an industry with plants located in Texas, including a plant located in the Brownsville Navigation District that is in the process of changing its supplier of electric power. Central Power &

Light Company ("CP&L") has already requsted from the Board issuance of a subpoena directing Mr. Robert L. Wright of Union Carbide Company to appear at the Best Western Shellfish Inn, Highway 35 North, Box 2 e 7 in the City of Port Lavaca, Texas on the 16th day of March, 1979 at 9:30 A.M. CP&L stated to the Board that the purpose of this deposition was to develop further testimony made by Union Carbide in Texas Public Utilities Commission Docket No. 1776. Brownsville attorneys have been informed that this subpoena was returned, signed by Chairman Miller, to CP&L's attorneys.

Brownsville received notice of this deposition, and plans to have one of its attorneys in attendance, in order to protect its own interests in this proceeding. At the deposi-tion Brownsville may wish to direct its own questions to Mr.

Wright concerning competition in the electric utility industry in Texas, including alternative sources of energy supply and transmission services to Union Carbide plants located in Texas, and contacts between Union Carbide and representatives of any electric utility located in Texas.

These topics are within the purview of the deposition noticed by CP&L, and CP&L's attorney Mr. Ryan has stated that

there would be no objection to attorneys in attendance at the deposition putting direct questions to the deponent on any subject. Nevertheless, in order to be fully assured of the opportunity to raise the above-described topics at the deposition noticed by CP&L, Brownsville w' auld like to submit its own notice of deposition for the same time and place, specifying the areas in which Brownsville may wish to ask additional questions.

The Public Utilities Board of the City of Brownsville, Texas requests this Board to sign the enclosed subpoenas and return then to the undersigned at Spiegel & McDiarmid, Washington, D.C.
