              SUBCOMMITTEE  ON ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY AND
                         NATURAL  RESOURCES
             HOUSE COMMITTEE  ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
                ON, DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT
                OF THE STRATEGIC  PETROLEUM RESERVE

Mr. Chairman and Members of  the Subcommittee:

     We appreciate the opportunity  to be here today to discuss the

results of our work relating  to selected facets of the Department

of Energy's (DOE's) management of  Strategic Petroleum Reserve

(SPR) activities.  Specifically,  the Subcommittee, by letter dated

March 24, 1983, requested that we  undertake an examination of

DOE's procedures for following  up and resolving audit recommen-

dations made by the Defense Contract Audit  Agency (DCAA) and other

audit organizations.  The Subcommittee  also requested that we re-

view the status of DOE's efforts  to install and operate instrumen-

tation and control systems at  several of the SPR storage sites.

     Mr. Chairman, before I get  into our findings in these two

areas, I would like to briefly discuss  the context in which this

work was undertaken.  First, we have had  a continuing interest in

the SPR since its inception and have  issued numerous reports on

matters affecting the Reserve.  We  issue quarterly reports on SPR

activities and have several ongoing audits with  a heavy commitment

of GAO staff.  Secondly, as you know, DOE's  Inspector General (IG)
