written notice of Tennessee's election to terminate such arrangement. 
TGPL and Tennessee assert that no exchange services have been provided 
under the exchange arrangement since prior to November 25, 1978.

facilities pursuant to the instant application. They further state that 
no service to any of their other customers will be affected by the
