BPA power sale negotiations
called give away by governor
SALEM, (AP) - Gov Vic
Atiyeh has accused the Bon
neville Power Administration of
trying to negotiate a
"sweetheart power sales deal
with California."
In a sharply worded letter,
Atiyeh told BPA Administrator
Peter Johnson on Thursday that
if the federal power agency is
going to give away electricity, it
should give it to someone in the
Pacific Northwest
Atiyeh said he would prefer
the BPA sell its surplus power at
competitive rates to users in the
Southwest
The governor said he was
alarmed that the federal power
agency apparently is thinking
about selling the electricity to
justify restarting work on Wash
ington Public Power Supply Sy
tem plant No. 1.

EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED
IN A BIER. AND LESS.
“That would be foolish in the
extreme," Atiyeh wrote “We do
not need WPPSS No. 1 in the
foreseeable future Power sup
plies will be more than adequate
in this region through 1990 “
Atiyeh continued: “Peter, you
must give consideration to the
needs of the Pacific Northwest
All summer long, you have been
selling power to California for
less than one cent a kilowatt
hour. This is less than the price
you charge our own Northwest
irrigators."
The governor said he is work
ing on a power marketing plan
that he will forward to Johnson
in the near future "I suggest
you call off your power sales
negotiators until you have had
time to review it,” Atiyeh said
No capsules
found tainted
in Northwest
SEATTLE (AP) - Tests on
nearly 150,000 capsules of Ex
tra-Strength and Regular Tylen
ol from Pacific Northwest stores
showed no trace of poison, a
Food and Drug Administration
spokeswoman said Thursday
"We found absolutely noth
ing," said FDA spokeswoman
Susan Hutchcroft in Seattle
She said investigators feel there
is no tainted Tylenol in the
Northwest
However, she repeated the
precaution that consumers not
use Tylenol in either Extra
Strength or Regular capsules
Some lots of Tylenol capsules
were recalled by the manufac
turer, McNeil Consumer
Products Co
Tests of capsules from Wash
ington and Oregon followed
the deaths of seven people in
the Chicago area The victims
had taken Extra-Strength
Tylenol capsules mysteriously
laced with cyanide poison
Northwest tests were per
formed on capsules from
batches with the same lot
number as the fatal Chicago
capsules and from many other
batches, Hutchcroft said
In addition, she said the FDA
heard about capsules being
found with the same lot number
as two bottles of Extra-Stiength
Tylenol in Oroville, Calif that
contained strychnine Bottles
with that lot number showed up
"in Vancouver, Gig Harbor,
Aberdeen, all over
But we haven't asked for any
of those samples because they
haven t been tampered with,"
she said
FDA scientists tested about
73,000 capsules Wednesday
and 74,000 capsules Thursday,
she said
"We tested bottles that we
bought off the shelves from
many different lots Our inves
tigators went out and bought
Extra-Strength and Regular
strength Tylenol of all lot
numbers to test," she said
