This line, according to Mr. Hunter, will connect with a similar transmission artery to be built by Sierra Pacific Power Co., that will extend some 60 miles from the Utah border to Ely, Nev. This construction is scheduled to be completed early in 1972. Initially, UP&L will use its portion of the line to deliver Upper Colorado River Storage Project power to the Nevada based utility, who in turn, will deliver it over its section of the line to Mt. Wheeler REA. The REA serves Ely and parts of central and eastern Nevada. The UP&L line will also enable Sierra to purchase power from UP&L to provide Mt. Wheeler with power needs over and above the REAs allotment of federal CRSP power. After completion of the Ely section, Mr. Hunter said, Sierra Pacific plans to extend its line from Ely west 220 miles to the Reno area. At that time, Sierra intends to purchase large blocks of power from the UP&L system to serve Sierras own loads in Nevada. Both the Utah and Nevada utility executives pointed out that service reliability in the area would be increased by virtue of construction of the first high voltage power transmission through central Nevada.

The measure, called the First Amendment Freedoms Act, is geared to protect the rights of speech and assembly. It would authorize federal court injunctions and damage suits against both official and private interference with the exercise of First Amendment rights. The bill favors no political faction, said the Senator. It could be used against public officials who attempt unreasonably to stop or prevent meetings, or against protestors or others who attempt to seize buildings or prevent instructors from teaching their classes. The Senator continued, Rights of speech, religion, and assembly are constantly being violated in this country. The First Amendment protects some of our most cherished freedoms. It cannot be allowed to erode in this, way. Since most state laws are to handle current threats, a federal statute appears to be necessary. Under our proposal the Justice Department would be authorized to intervene once a federal injunction has been asked for, and could prove to be a powerful mediating force in serious confrontations, Sen.
