                 COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY
           UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES          .

Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittees:

     On August 25, 1978, Senator John A. Dqrkin of the Senate

Committee on Energy and Natural Resources asked GAO to review
                                              :_t u;;,, 2-
selected issues concerning the Department of Energy's handling

of crude oil reseller cases involving suspected criminal

activity. Our report is the result of tne Senator's request.

     Copies of our report have been made available to the

Subcommittees, so I will limit my remarks to a summary of our

findings and recommendations. But first, I would like to

place this review in proper perspective.

PRIOR GAO REPORTS

     GAO studies of the adequacy of enforcement of oil pricing

regulations go back to the beginning of the price control

program under the Federal Energy Aministration (FEA). We have

reported on FEA's enforcement program on a number of occasions.
