Authority: H.R. 11678 (95th Cong).
U.R. 11678 addresses many of the issueL ccncernivg the
need for national energy analysis that GAO has aedressed over
the past several years. There are five crucial EtepE to national
energy planninq which are required to put the Nation's
long-range energy needs in perspective and design effective
energy policy: (1) development of a set of realistic projectio.s
to show what the energy future will be like vithotit new policy
initiatives; (2) debate by Congress of the implications of
national energy trends revealed by the projections; (3)
development by Conqress of realistic ecergy goals and
objectives; (4) development and analysis of a wide range of
policy options; and (5) establishment of a set of standtl
proqrams. An organization such as the Institute for loag-Bange
Energy Policy Analysis could play a constructive role in
implementing these Lecomiendations. Enactment of H.B. 14676 at
this time is not recommended, but Congress should give serious
consideration to planning the Nation's energy future. Language
changes to the proposed legislation ate included. (BPS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobadxyv0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
