To the Editor:
This week I wrote to President
Reagan expressing my strong objec-
tions to his administration's con-
sideration of an appeal from a
Judgement of a Federal court overtur-
ning the Public Utility Regulatory
Policies Act (PURPA). The statute in
question was declared unconstitutional
by Judge Harold Cox in the United
States District Court for the Northern
District of Mississippi in February,
1961. The statute itself was part of the
ill-conceived National Energy Plan,
which gives the U. S. Congress
authority to require state utility com-
missions to consider and determine the
~Pe~roprlateness of implementing
ral ratemaking standards. During
the trial, Mississippi argued that this
requirement is an intrusion into a
State's right to establish its own rate-
making policies, and would place an in-
tolerable burden of time and money on
the State and its Public Service Com-
mission by increasing the number and
complexity of utility rate hearings.
Judge Cox granted a motion for
summary Judgement by the State of
Mississippi and overturned PURPA on
the grounds that it unconstitutionally
usurped the power of the State and in-
terfered directly in State sovereignty
by giving the federal government
power to intervene in State regulation
of public utilities.
At this time, the U. S. Solicitor
General has been asked by the Reagan
peals in New Orleans. Howevei', would be nice if we could gather again.
