Lobdeil Oregon Public Utility Comrnssoner Labor and Industries BkJg., Room 300 Saem, Oregon 97310 Dear Mr. Lobdel: This letter is to advise you of Pacific Northwest Bell's need for additional revenues to offset three costs of doing business. First, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), recognizing competition in the teleccninrKjnications industry, has ordered changes in methods of accounting for the recovery of capital investment. These and other forthcoming changes account for about $25 million, nearly one-ihird of the required increase. Second, PNB's labor contracts require wage increases which include inflation adjustments of approximately $15 million. Finally; the costs to obtain capital necessary to serve the telecommunications needs of our customers have increased significantly, as reflected in higher interest rates. The revenue required to cover this cost is about $40 million. The total required revenue increase is approximately $80 million or about a 19 percent increase in our gross annual revenues. To offset these higher costs, PNB is considering certain rate increases. For example. An increase in Residence and Business access line rates-what customers know as the monthly telephone service charge. It has been six years since these rates were raised. An increase in certain competitive business equipment rates to fully cover their costs. An increase in the rate for local caHs from coin phones, pending the outcome of the experiment currently being conducted in two areas to measure customer response to a higher rate. The impact of any increases would vary depending upon a customer's specific equipment and services. Any increases will be more in line with actual costs, a necessity in our competitive industry. An increase in revenues is essential if we are to continue providing good quality teiecorrriTuntcations services for our customers of today and tomorrow. We are providing you and your staff with documentation supporting the above revenue requirements. Should the public wish such information they may write: Pacific Northwest Bell 421 S W.

The Soviet Union faced low levels of domestic wheat production in 1972 and bought large amounts of U.S. grain at low prices. U.S. grain produc ers and the USDA were not aware of the Soviet grain shortage and American farm ers missed the benefits of higher prices when the market responded to the Soviet pur chases. With the AgRISTARS program, the American farm er will not be caught unaware again. i.i,,mMsBli'"a-
