     I appreciate your invitation to participate in this Energy

Conference.  In my capacity as Director of the Energy

and Minerals Division of the U.S. General Accounting Office,

I have great deal of interest in the subjects on the

agenda.  I have been asked to discuss Erecent GAO studies

in the field of energy   I would like to approach this by

first briefly discussing the broad function of the GAO

and then focus on the specific role and activities of

the Energy and Minerals Division.


THE GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE'S MISSION

     As you are probably aware, the GAO directly assists

the Congress, its committees, and its Members in carrying

out their legislative and oversight responsibilities

by serving as an independent nonpolitical agency of the

Congress.  This Congressional assistance-is rendered



     1/ I am indebted to Richard M. Greene of my staff
        for helping with the preparation of this pre-
        sentation.
