     Within recent weeks a number of alternative energy proposals have

been developed.  Their development reflects the growing consensus that

the Nation must have a disciplined and cohesive national energy policy

and that this policy will significantly change our patterns of energy

supply and consumption from those of the 60's and early 70's.  Agreement

seems to be developing around five basic points:

     --The United States can no longer maintain historic energy
       growth patterns.
     --Increased production from conventional domestic sources will
       take years to develop.

     --New domestic energy sources will take even longer to develop.

     --Reliance on imported oil must be reduced.

     --For the short-run, conservation offers the best opportunity for
       moving toward a greater degree of energy independence.

     In late January the General Accounting Office, in response to

congressional inquiries, developed a package of einergy proposals which

we believe to be mutually supportive and reasonably comprehensive.
