                        NATURAL  RESOURCES

                                ON

       U.S. PARTICIPATION  IN THE INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY

Mr. Chairman and Members of  the Committee:

     We  are pleased  to be  here today  to discuss  with you  our

observations  on U.S.  participation in  the International  Energy

Agency  (IEA). In response  to the Chairman's request, I will out-

line the current  activities  of the IEA, the benefits  as well as

the risks and uncertainties of U.S. participation,  and the impor-

tance of  antitrust protection for U.S. oil companies  that parti-

cipate  in  TEA  activities.   I  will  also  discuss  the  recent

executive  branch  reassessment of  U.S.  international  emergency

preparedness following the  1983 IEA Emergency Sharing System Test

(AST-4).

     Our testimony  is based on our ongoing  and past work on  the

IEA,  which encompasses  a wide  range of  issues concerning  U.S.

involvement.   A list of unclassified  GAO reports on  IEA-related

issues is attached.  Our ongoing work  is in response to a request

by Senator Howard Metzenbaum.
