COMMISSIONER LEHMAN;:  Well, thank you.  I appreciate those
comments.  I think those were extremely helpful and useful
about perspective.  They certainly lend a sense of urgency to
our work here to try to get a more responsive system in place
as quickly as possible.
Let me just call the witnesses again here.  See if anybody's
come in the door.  I don't think they have.  Michael M.
DeAngeli.  Michael Chakansky.  Paul Heckel.  D.C. Toedt -- is
it Toedt? -- and Joseph Hofstader.
I think what I'm going to do in view of the fact that we're
way ahead of the schedule and we did say for people to be here
at least 20 minutes in advance, and we have a real backed up
schedule.  I have a very backed up schedule and lots of prices
and problems to deal with.
What I'm going to do is suggest that we recess the hearing
until 4:15 and that at that time I ask Mr. Kushan to reconvene
the hearing and to chair it and to take testimony from -- if
we have any of these people who manage to straggle in and at
least give them, especially since I suspect some of them are
trying to get here by plane, and it would be very unfair to
have them go through the hell of trying to fly in this weather
and then land at National Airport, get all the way here and
then not have the hearing.
So I think we at least want to give them that opportunity to
put their views on the record here in this forum.  If they
don't show up by 4:15 then we'll obviously take their
testimony in written form, either through the mail or if they
want to send it to us on electronic mail through the Internet
they can do that.
So with that I'm going to adjourn the hearing until 4:15 and
Mr. Kushan will reconvene it for any of the stragglers that
there may be.
(Recess.)
MR. KUSHAN;:  We've reached a consensus.  The two speakers
that we've identified as being here are going to testify
tomorrow morning in our a.m. session.
So unless the other three people, which I should probably read
off one last time are here, we will cancel the hearing for the
remainder of the day and reconvene in the morning.  The three
people that weren't identified before Michael DeAngeli,
Michael Chakansky, and Paul Heckel.  I don't see Paul. 
Michael DeAngeli is in California.
So we're 0 for 3.  That means that we're going to cancel for
the rest of the day today and we'll reconvene tomorrow morning
at 9:00 a.m., probably until about 12:15.  Thank you.
(Whereupon, at 3:20 p.m., the hearing in the above-entitled
matter was adjourned, to reconvene on Friday, February 11,
1994 at 9:00 a.m.)
