                   GASOLINE ALLOCATION PROGRAM



Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We welcome this opportunity to discuss our April 1980 report

to the Congress entitled, Gasoline Allocation: A Chaotic Program

In Need Of Overhaul. 1/

     The report was prompted by requests from 13 U.S. Senators and

Representatives who, in the aftermath of the Iranian oil cutoff,

were concerned about the Department of Energy's (DOE's) management

of the summer 1979 gasoline and diesel shortages. We addressed

the adequacy of DOE's allocation information and the ability of

DOE and State energy officials to act in critical supply shortage

situations to allocate available supplies fairly and in accordance

with priority needs.

     My statement will provide background on the gasoline allo-

cation program and highlight our report findings and conclusions.

I would like to provide a copy of our report for the record.
