2-Depar tment of Justice and the Atomic Energy Commission, Gulf States, by letter dated March 20, 1974, entered into an agreement to offer certain utilities an opportunity to participate in the River Bend station. This agreement was part of the so-called

" River Bend Commitments" made by Gulf States. CAJUN eventually

.became a part owner of the River Bend station. In order to l obtain financing for its share of River Bend, CAJUN was required l by the Rural Electrification Administration to enter into an l agree =ent with Gulf States whereby CAJUN would own a portion of l the transmission facilities needed to deliver power and energy to l CAJUN's members and others (" CAJUN /GSU integrated transmission
