              HOUSE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND COMMERCE
                                ON
           THE U. S. URANIUM ENRICHMENT SERVICES PROGRAM


     Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, we appreciate

this opportunity to discuss the, current status of the U.S. uranium

enrichment program and a number of recent DOE initiatives  and

proposals some of which are designed to improve the program's

viability.  GAO has done a number of reviews of the branium

enrichment program in recent years and over the last several

months, at your request, has been examining DOE's costing,

pricing, marketing and contracting practices for uranjitn

enrichment.  We recently issued reports to you coverinig DOE's

allocation of enrichment costs and the effect of the secondary

enriched uranium market on the program's sales and revenues.1

     Before I discuss DOE's initiatives and proposals,  it is

important to set in perspective the fundamental proble-nds which

have developed over the last several years for the uranium

enrichment program.  These problems clearly demonstrato  the need

for a broad reevaluation of the purpose and structure Of  the U.S.



IThe reports referred to are DOE's Allocation of Costs  for Uranium
Enrichment  Services (GAO/RCED-84-64, dated Nov. 15, 1983)  and
Lost  DOE Sales to the Secondary Enriched Uranium Markit  Have
Resulted  in Reduced Revenues  (GAO/RCED-84-76, dated  ;an. 26,
1984).
