           SENATE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     I appreciate the opportunity to be here today to discuss

thej ential of alcohol fuels for automotive us      Over the

past year we-have done a substantial amount of work in the

alcohol fuels area and have issued three reports on the sub-

alcohol fuels have vast potential for replacing petroleum

fuels, particularly in the automotive sector.  Moreover, unlike

some other synthetic fuel options which still require extensive

R&D before commercialization can be expected, the technology

to produce alcohol fuels--both ethanol and methanol--is here
