      HOUSE COMMITTEE ON INTERSTATE AND FOREIGN COMMERCE
              SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND POWER



Dear Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We are pleased to have been asked here today as you

consider H.R. 2620, a bill which would repeal the Helium Act

and amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to provide

for a number of helium conservation initiatives. As you

know, we have just completed a report which bears directly

on the question of helium conservation. Our report entitled

Unique Helium Resources Are Wasting: A New Conservation

Policy Is Needed, was issued on March 7, 1979. We hope the

Subcommittee will find it helpful as it considers the subject

legislation.

     The initial part of my testimony will focus on the find-

ings, conclusions, and recommendations of our report. Following

that I will discuss the subject bill and how it relates to the

positions taken in our report.

                              00396 3\



                                         ( v1    Lj,
