TXU interfaces with the environmental regulatory community
in a variety of ways. Since 1992 TXU has provided summer work

college students under the Mickey Leland Environmental Intern
Program, which is a joint effort between industry and the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality. During that time, TXU
has provided 36 summer intern positions. Also in 2002,
TXU began serving on the steering committee for the
Mickey Leland program.

reached thousands of area residents with clean-air messages and
tips to improve air quality during the summer ozone season.
