    Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee:

         We welcome the opportunity to appear before this sub-

\_1committee to discuss Federal Coal Leasing. My testimony fol-

    lows up on our June 25 testimony on the Federal Coal Manage-

    ment Program before the Subcommittee. Our earlier testimony,

    which was based on a GAO study and report entitled Issues

    Facing the Future of Federal Coal Leasing (EMD-79-47, dated

    June 25, 1979), focused on two issues:

         --Need for an analysis by Interior of the pro-

           duction potential of existing leases in view

           of the many economic, environmental, and other

           problems associated with tneir likely development.

           (This is necessary to give a better fix on how

           much coal needs to be made available to satisfy

           demand under the new program.)
