In this context, we believe that it is especially important to also consider the effective- ness of energy conservation programs and policies implemented since the oil embargo in 1973. We have performed many reviews over the past 2 or 3 years which have focused on the Nation's success in conserving energy and the effectiveness of Federal programs to achieve energy conservation. This letter briefly reviews theTajor problems entitied which still need attention/We are providing this summary to congressional committee and subcommittee chairmen with energy related responsibilities for their use in carrying out oversight of Department of Energy programs. The summary can serve as a catalyst for encouraging the Department of Energy to take the type of leadership role that will lead to a better understanding and effective establishment of an energy conservation ethic in the United States. In brief, our past energy conservation work has identified three overriding problems which, in our_- opinion, have reduced the effectiveness of existing Federal energy conservation policies and programs.
