Rear Admiral C. A. Richmond  Jr.
Commander, 13th Coast Guard District
Room 3590, Federal Building
915 - 2nd Avenue
Seattle, Washington  98174

Dear Admiral Richmond:

     As part of a nationwide review of energy conservation measures
taken by Federal agencies, we have reviewed 13th District efforts to
reduce energy use.  Energy conservation has been a national concern
since mid-1973 when a Federal energy conservation program was initiated.
President Ford reaffirmed this commitment in October 1974 when he announced
the fiscal year 1975 energy conservation goal of 15 percent and called
for continued energy conservation effort at all Federal agencies.

     The purpose of our review at the 13th District was to determine the
results achieved by your energy conservation program and to identify any
practical opportunities for further reducing energy consumption.  This
letter summarizes the results of our review as discussed with Mr. Kaatz,
your Energy Conservation Coordinator, and Captain Powell, Chief, Search
and Rescue Branch.

     The Coast Guard's energy conservation program was implemented at
the District level in June 1973.  A number of actions have been taken by
Headquarters or the District to reduce energy consumption.  These actions
included:

        --reducing lighting levels at District headquarters and field
          units;

        --requiring vehicles, cutters, boats, and aircraft to be operated
          at the most economical speeds consistent with mission;

        --eliminating or curtailing vehicle, cutter, boat, and aircraft
          use for low priority missions, such as public affairs and
          administrative purposes;

        --limiting use of gas turbines on cutters and reducing the scope
          of icebreaker mission.
