The continued delay in receiving such authorization poses pra.ctical and financial diffi-culties.

accumulate with further delay may jeopardize the financial well being of the utility.
For this reason, I would appreciate receiving a status report on the Grand Gulf Nuclear Unit, as well as a proposed timetable for authorization of restart and full power operation.
I appreciate your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
