Madam Chairwoman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We welcome the opportunity to be here today to discuss our

report--Need to Assess Federal Role in Regulating and Enforcing

Pipeline Safety (GAO/RCED-84-102, dated July 10, 1984).  My

testimony is based on our report which was done at the request of

the Subcommittee on Fossil and Synthetic Fuels, House Committee on

Energy and Commerce.  Our review qenerally covered program activi-

ties for calendar years 1978-82.  As agreed with your office we

did not update the information in our report, except that in April

1985 the Department provided us the 'status of its actions in

response to our recommendations which are included in attachment

I.  This month the Department told us that it has not finalized

its response to our recommendations.
