The report recom- mended that DOE develop a system of formal program prior- ities, based on predetermined criteria, ranked or weighted according to their importance in meeting program goals, to allocate limited resources among different fossil energy technologies. BACKGROUND Your letter of January 2, 1979, (See enc. I) referred to (1) the length of time involved between receiving DOE comments on a draft of the report and report issuance and (2) DOE's industry cost participation policies for nonnuclear energy technologies. You also requested our comments as may be appropriate on DOE's response to you on the report's recommendations. We responded to you on the first two concerns on February 14, 1979, and October 2, 1979, respectively. This report provides our comments on DOE's response to our report's recommendation. DOE's letter, dated March 21, 1979, responded to your questions concerning, among other things, DOE's implementa- tion of the report's recommendations. (See enc. II.) On July 27, 1979, DOE sent its comments on the report's recommendations (See enc. III) to the Chairmen of the Senate (306250) zL 675 B-198007 ov 11UN
