Forcier Senior Group Director Energy and Minerals Division Before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources We appreciate the opportunity to be here today to discuss GAO's work on acid rain. Accompanying me are Dr. Richard Frankel and Mr. Steven Elstein, of my staff, who have been primarily responsible for GAO's work on the acid rain issue. The work we are doing is at the request of Senator Ford of this Committee. We issued a report last September which focused on the debate surrounding acid deposition by examining allegations put forth by both sides of the debate in the light of our understanding of scientific knowledge on the key issues. In our current study, which we expect to complete this fall, we are continuing this effort taking into account new information and are also examining the cost implications of alternative acid deposition control strategies. This work has consisted mainly of synthesizing and analyzing information from the many scientific and economic studies on the issue, with a particular focus on the assumptions that underlie their conclusions. We have also supplemented these data with our own interviews and calculations. We should emphasize at this time that we are testifying today based on work in progress. Since our review is not completed yet, the findings we will discuss represent only our preliminary indications and could change somewhat as we complete our work.
