Thp Energy Researct and Development Administration
(ERDA) aw;-rded a grant to the California Council for
Environmental and Economic Balance ±cx the purpose of increasing
awareness or the national and local energy situatioij, including-
needs, issues, proolens, and opportunities, ancag varicus groups
thrcuqhout California. Iihe grant was zeferred to as the Energy
Awareness -roject- Ten seminars held under the grant were
intended to provide an overview of the energy situation
naticnally and in California and to provida resource materials
to seminar attendees so that they could continue energy
education in their own communities. Findings/conclusicns: There
was no evidence that Federal funds were used improerly cr to
perform lobbying activities. Interviebs with seminar attendees
and review of the seminar handout materials did not indicate
that the seminar-, were presented in a biased manner or that the
att- -'s were encouraged to contact their elected
- presentitives in order to support the administration's energy
proposals. The selection of the council for the project could be
auest4oned from a public relations aspect since tke council's
stance in previous energy matters clearly estatlished them as
pronuclear. while project funding sources bithin EPDA were
identuiiable, the justifications used for transferring project
funds did not adequately or fairly reveal the real purpose for
waich these rnds were to Le used. (SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaawgb0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
