Subject: Hebert Statement on Open Access/Conference Call Today on FERC
Candidates

In yesterday's prepared testimony before Barton's subcommittee, Chairman
Hebert stated:  "Finally, I emphasize that the Commission's open access
program for natural gas transportation has resulted in a vibrant,
transparent, liquid competitive market for natural gas.  It is critical that
we continue to develop the same type of competitive, comparable markets for
electric energy and transmission as well, and to do so as expeditiously as
possible."
