The Honorable Mik Synrar
Chairman, Subcoiitt.e on Environment,
  Sand Natural Resources
Comttee on Goernment Operations
House of Represnttives
Dear Mr. Chairman:

     By letter dated December 22, 1983, you asked the
following questions concerning the Synthetic Fuels Corpration
(Corporation):
          1. Would the Corporation's proposed
             extension of $2.7 billion in financial
             assistance to Union Oil, coupled with
             Union Oil's existing $400 million con-
             tract, violate the Energy Security
             Act's limitation on financial assist-
             ance to any one synthetic fuel
             project?
          2. What effect would the Supreme Court's
             holding in Immigration and Naturaliza-
             tion Service v. Chadho,     U.S.
             103 S. Ct.= Z791 ~3) (Ma~dha), Wa-ii
             on the Energy Security At    rovision
             that one House of Congress could deny,
             by resolution, a Corporation request
             for additional time to develop the
             comprehensive strategy required by
             that Act?

     Based on our analysis of the Energy Security Act, we do
not think the Corporation's proposed extension of $2.7 billion
in financial assistance to Union Oil would violate the Act's
limitation on financial assistance. We are inclined to agree
with the Corporation that the Chadha decision has the effect
of invalidating section 126(d)T2F7   the Energy Security Act,
which provides for a one-Rouse resolution denyinq a Corpora-
tion request for additional tie to develop the ciprehensive
strategy*
