Mr. Chairman and Members of  the Committee:

     We appreciate  the opportunity to be here today to discuss the

proposed Energy Emergency Preparedness  Act Amendments of 1983

(S. 1678) and the nation's  ability to coordinate an energy

emergency response with  its allies.  Over the past several years,

we have addressed many  aspects of this important issue in numerous

reports and testimonies.   In our appearance before this committee

on March 7, 1983, we expressed  reservations about the

administration's fragmented legal  authorities to respond to an oil

shortage, and the  inadequate level of advance planning to deal

with such an emergency.

     The bill before this committee,  S. 1678, deals with many of

the problems we cited,  including incomplete emergency response

procedures, the prospects of conflicting  federal and state laws

and policies, and the legal  impediments regarding Executive

Manpower Reserves.  S. 1678 also  appears to deal effectively with

the problem of the administration's  fragmented authority to act in

petroleum shortage emergencies by combining  such authority into

one statute.
