Sharp Chairman, Subcommittee on Fossil and Synthetic Fuels 117782 Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: The Effects of the Fiscal Year 1983 Budget, Energy Reorganization, and Program Changes on U.S. Energy Emergency Preparedness (EVMD-82-45) Your January 29, 1982, letter requested that we update our analysis of energy emergency preparedness published last September 1/ by looking into the effect of continuing budget and staff reductions at the Department of Energy (DOE). You also asked us to comment on the implications the proposed energy reorganization may have on both domestic and interna- tional energy emergency preparedness and to clarify the United States' obligations under the International Energy Program. Lastly, you wanted our view on what actions should be taken to ensure adequate preparedness beyond those covered in S. 1503. Our September report noted many weaknesses in the Govern- ment's energy emergency preparedness posture. Our conclusion was that, The U.S. Government is almost totally unprepared to deal with disruptions in oil imports. Oil import disruptions * * * pose a significant threat to national security, and the lack of effective contingency piLanning and program development to date is serious and requires immediate attention. Since then, progress has been slow; there is still no comprehensive plan or even individual response plans in any contingency planning area which can be considered fully operational. i/The U.S. Remains Unprepaa;-ed-for Disruptions in Oil Imports, EMD-81-117, Sept. 29, 1981.
