  Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

       We appreciate the opportunity to appear before this

  Subcommittee to discuss questions and issues raised in our

  two recent reports I/ on proposed expansion of the competi-

  tive onshore oil and gas leasing system. With your permis-

  sion, I would like to submit copies of both reports for the

  record.

       We also have underway a comprehensive review of the im-

  pacts which access to Federal lands and delays in the permit-

  ting process are having on the onshore leasing system. Our

  previous work on the oil and gas issue, in addition to the

  work we are testifying on here today, also includes a March

  1970 report on the use of competitive versus noncompetitive

  leasing and an April 1979 report on aspects of the lottery

  system.
