ginia corporation.
Pepco has asked that a joint
agreement be allowed which

pany into Pepco. Under the
agreement. Pepco. which is now q
District corporation. would be-
come both a Virginia and a Dis
trict corporation.

to the PUG that. because of the
lack of suitable sites in the Dis
trict, its expansion of plant facil-
tiles must take place on sites in

dock would allow 1t to do directly
what it now must do through
