The action includes minor work at the Gore Pass Substation and at two taps, and also the removal of two existing transmission lines; a 69-kV line between Gore Pass Substation and Green Mountain Power Plant and a 1 15-kV line between Green Mountain Power Plant and Blue River Tap. The purpose of the project is to provide additional transmission capacity into the areas of Gore Pass, Granby, Green Mountain, Dillon, Climax, Oak Creek, and Keystone, and between the generation plants in western Colorado and the major load areas in eastern Colorado. Alternat ives assessed include routing and design alternatives plus the alternatives addressed in the Hayden-Blue River Final EIS, issued by the Rural Electrification Administration in July, 1982.

  • Clinton's Lead Over Dole Now Twenty-Two Percent Among Registered Voters Compared to Seventeen Percent a Month Earlier
    The IEi#arris Pvll THE HARRIS POLL 1996 #42 Wednesday, July 17, 1996 CLINTON'S LEAD OVER DOLE NOW TWENTY-TWO PERCENT AMONG REGISTERED VOTERS COMPARED TO SEVENTEEN PERCENT A MONTH EARLIER by Humphrey Taylor Republican candidate Bob Dole is making absolutely no impression on President Clinton's big poll lead. In the latest Harris Poll, the president's lead is actually wider than it was a month earlier. In mid-June, the president enjoyed a 17- point lead among registered voters; 'the latest poll shows him 22 points ahead. 'These are the results of Harris Poll of 1,005 adults, including 871 people who claim to be registered voters, surveyed between July 9 and 13. There are several different ways of analyzing the results from this new Harris Poll: When the analysis is lirr~itedto registered voters who claim to have voted in 1992, the president's lead widens to 24 points. When those who say they don't expect to vote are eliminated, the president's lead widens to 27 points among all adults and 25 points among registered voters. When Ross Perot is included as a third party candidate he wins the support of 16 percent, after eliminating those who say they would not vote. This number is essentially unchanged since the May and June Harris Polls. Louis Harris and Associates, Inc. 11 1 Fifth Avenue NYC (21 2) 539-9600 i Perot takes votes almost equally from Clinton and Dole, and leaves the president's lead virtually unchanged. When possible Independent party candidate Richard Lamm is included as the third candidate instead of Perot he gets the support of five percent, approximately one-third of Ross Perot's current support.

  • The Washington Post September 16, 1996, Monday No Place for Perot In
    The Washington Post September 16, 1996, Monday No Place for Perot In the Debates David J. Garrow OP-ED; Pg. A19 LENGTH: 672 words The Commission on Presidential Debates is to decide soon whether Reform Party nominee Ross Perot and running mate Pat Choate will be included in the presidential and vice-presidential debates that are scheduled to begin next week. Commission members say their top criterion for inclusion is whether a ticket has a "realistic" chance of winning. By that standard as by others, there ought to be no debate: Neither Ross Perot nor Pat Choate is a realistic -- or even plausible -- president of the United States. Recent national opinion surveys show the Perot-Choate ticket drawing only 5 percent support -- a far cry from the 19 percent that Perot ended up with after his on-and-off campaign in 1992. What's more, monthly polls in crucial states where Perot and Choate's Buchanan-like message of economic protectionism ought to be popular show that Perot's support has been dropping like a stone. In Michigan, Perot's 19 percent backing in July fell to 10 percent in August and to just 4 percent in early September. Indeed, it's hard to envision any state where Perot-Choate could challenge Dole-Kemp or Clinton-Gore even for second place, and there may be some, like Alaska and California, where either Libertarian nominee Harry Browne or Green Party candidate Ralph Nader could outdo Perot for third place. Perot's only hope for a chance at increased voter support is the commission.
