Duncan, Jr. The Secretary of Energy Dear Mr. Secretary: Subject: Jational Energy Planning I(EMD-80-43) The General Accounting Office has conducted an exami- nation of the administration's energy planning process with particular emphasis on the National Energy Plan II (NEP II) furnished to the Congress on May 7, 1979. During our work we interviewed numerous Department of Energy (DOE) and other executive branch officials, including persons in the Office of Management and Budget, as well as the White House Staff, involved with energy planning, and reviewed such docu- ments as were made available to us. While we also gathered information on the relationship between the planning efforts that resulted in NEP II and those that resulted in the package of energy proposals which the President announced on July 15, 1979, we basically concentrated on NEP II and the process which the Department of Energy followed in developing it. Since the Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977 (P.L. 95-91) requires that the President submit a National Energy Plan to the Congress every 2 years, the next plan is due in April 1981. As you know, the law specifically requires that the plan consider national security and national and regional economic and environmental requirements. While we believe that considerable progress has been made to date, our current work disclosed that improvements can be made in the integration of three areas of important national interest into national energy planning.
