Mr. Chairman:

     We are pleased to be here today as you consider S.411, the

Administration's bill to amend the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety

Act of 1968. I will be commenting, in part, on its provisions

to improve the   fety of liquefied energy gases -4+b) facilitie
               to3

Our comments will relate to the siting and safety of both liquetiea

natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) facilities.

     As you recall, we appeared before your committee in December

to discuss the conclusions and recommendations from our report

on Liquefied Energy Gases Safety (EMD-78-28) issued in July,

1978. In March we submitted to your committee our comments on

S.411, and last week, a summary of actions taken by Congress and

Federal agencies which deal with issues identified by our report.

     My statement briefly summarizes the major conclusions of our

report on LEG safety, discusses the provisions of S.411 that relate

toLEG safety problems we identified, reviews the major actions

taken by Federal agencies in response to our recommendations, and

highlights important areas where we believe action is still neeaed.
