          CPUC MARCH DECISION MEETINGS ARE RESCHEDULED


    The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has changed
the dates of its March decision-making meetings:

    The meeting originally scheduled for Wednesday, March 12 is
rescheduled for Friday, March 7, and will begin at 10 a.m.

    The meeting originally scheduled for Tuesday, March 25 is
rescheduled for Tuesday March 18, and will begin at 9 a.m.

    Depending upon progress in the SBC/Telesis proposed merger
proceeding, the Commission may "continue" its March 18 meeting to
March 31 at 10 a.m. for the sole purpose of acting on that
matter.
