19 line, change the word "impassive" to "imperative."

3 The last correction's slightly
4 different than on my errata sheet. On page 34,

8 should be changed to the 500 series as reflected?
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. If I were to ask you the same
11 questions set forth in your prefiled testimony
12 today, would your answers be the same?
13 A. Yes, they would.
14 MR. NYE: Mr. Chairman, we move for
15 the admission of Mr. Yankel's prefiled testimony and
16 exhibits, and ask that they be spread and
17 incorporated on the record.
18 COMMISSIONER HANSEN: The testimony
19 will be spread upon the record if there are no
