I 9 iffififfitfff US WEST ETHICAL IN REGULATORY DEALINGS Lately, you may have heard or seen reports regarding recent Utah Supreme Court rulings that affect U S WEST Communications (USWC). Some are interpreting the rulings to mean that US WC has been over earning. Furthermore, you may have heard that we coerced the Public Service Commission (PSC) into setting a higher authorized rate of return in exchange for upgrading switching centers in the state. In essence, some are saying that the PSC was derelict in its regulation of USWC and allowed the company to make "unreasonable and unjustified profits" at the years of doing business Boyack's has decided to close its doors After 61 All Merchandise Is Reduced public's expense. Ethics: We absolutely disagree with any assertion that we have been anything but forthright and ethical in our dealings with regulators. To adhere to the highest ethical standards of business conduct is a basic principle of our company and one by which every U S WEST employee must abide. Actual investment record: The fact is that USWC has invested more than $1.1 billion in Utah in the past 10 years. Last year alone we invested $ 160 million and expect to invest a record $ 1 80 million during 1 994. This commitment to investment, I might add, has continued during multiple rate decreases and rates of return that are among the lowest in the nation. In 1990, a portion of our incentive regulation proposal was to make discretionary investments - above and beyond what was obligated or economically justified in Utah to accelerate upgrades of the telephone system. As a result, we requested a higher return to justify to our shareholders the investment of discretionary capital. Modernization in compliance with PSC order: In 1991, the PSC ordered its own incentive regulation plan including modernization of rural switching centers. According to state statute, we exercised our option to refuse the PSC's plan and chose to remain under traditional rate of return regulation. The PSC didn't rescind the modernization portion. Although we appealed the order to the Utah Supreme Court based on principle, we are 1995 deadline. complying with it. In fact, we will finish well before the PSC consistent in its performance: In our opinion, the Commission certainly isn't derelict in its regulation of USWC. Since 1987, it has ordered $95 million in rate reductions. Utah's residential rates are among the lowest in the nation, as is our authorized rate of return. Historical earnings below authorized levels: Regulators use authorized rate of on return equity (ROE) figures to determine rates. Since it's not an exact science, we rarely earn exactly at the authorized level. Forexample, we earned above our ROE in the late 1980's after having under earned during the early and mid eighties. In fact, from 1982 to 1991 we earned a net $22 million below our authorized levels. To summarize: While differences in opinion and interpretation may come and go, we have and will deal in an ethical manner. As for Utah investment and earnings, we will allow the records to speak for themselves. Lastly, we believe the PSC's decision record strongly demonstrates its commitment to balance the needs of a regulated utility with the best interests of the public.
