MENDELOWITZ ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, NATIONAL SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS DIVISION BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY, AND NATURAL RESOURCES ON U.S. PARTICIPATION IN THE INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY'S FOURTH EMERGENCY SHARING SYSTEM TEST (AST-4) Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee: We are pleased to be here today to discuss with you our ob- servations on the U.S. participation in the recently completed International Energy Agency (IEA) Emergency Sharing Allocation System Test (AST-4). Our AST-4 work is part of an ongoing effort in response to a request by Senator Howard Metzenbaum to evaluate U.S. involvement in the IEA. We have been assessing the results of the test for indica- tions of how well prepared the United States would be to meet its emergency oil sharing obligations under the IEA agreement, and what potential problems can be anticipated if the IEA Emergency Sharing System were activated in a crisis. We have not evaluated the performance of other member nations. 122384
