           DIRECTOR, ENERGY AND MINERALS DIVISION
                          BEFORE THE

                            OF THE
           HOUSE GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
                             ON
   E14ERGY CONSERVATION WITHIN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT:
              THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY'S ROLE



Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     GAO welcomes the opportunity to be here today to discuss

with you the results of our examinations of the Department

of Energy's (DOE) efforts to manage Federal energy conserva-

tion. During the past two years, we have issued numerous

reports in this area. A list of these reports is included as

Attachment I and copies are being supplied for the record.


LACK OF A NATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAM

     Before discussing what DOE is doing to manage Federal

energy conservation efforts, let me spend a few moments ad-

dressing the Nation's continuing reluctance to develop an

effective energy conservation strategy. Our reliance on crude

oil imports has increased substantially in recent years and

could reach 12 or 13 million barrels per day by 1985.
