As you know, sections 505 of H.R. 4500 a7 1005 of H.P. 4622 would create a Federal Fleet Gasohol Initiative and sec- tions 514 of H.R. 4500 and 1014 of H.R. 4622 would estab- lish a Federal Wind Utilization Program. As agreed with your staff we limited our comments to the specific sections you requested and reviewed these sections from the standpoint of our past and ongoing work. In general, while we have no serious concerns, we are offer- ing a number of suggestions to make these bills more effec- tive. THE FEDERAL FLEET GASOHOL INITIATIVE Sections 505 of H.R. 4500 and 1005 of H.R. 4622 are identical. If either is enacted, within 180 days of enact- ment, each Federal agency operating a fueling station for Federal civilian gasoline motor vehicles located in the United States would be required to dispense o2ly gasoline incorporating 10 percent alcohol by volume. in addition, all agency heads would be required to make available for retail sale at any-Federal retail gasoline supply outlet gasoline incorporating 10 percent alcohol by volume. All alcohol purchased to meet the requirements of -these sec- tions must be derived from sources other than fossil fuelsy We are nearing completion of an assignment which exam- ines many of the issues surrounding the use of alcohol fuels. Based on our work to date, we have the following concerns with the Federal Fleet Gasohol Initiative specified in H.R. 4500 and H.R. 4622. EMD-79-B4 0071/1/6 IlIIIIII liii511 ZLI 110467
