Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:                Q I 'U

     We welcome the opportunity to be here today to discuss energy

block grants. We have done recent work on a variety of energy

conservation programs, including the low-income weatherization

program and the State Energy Conservation Program (SECP) of the

Department of Energy (DOE). l/

     My statement will discuss the results of our work in the

context of possible efforts to consolidate these programs into

energy block grants. In addition, we will discuss our views on

the impacts of the administration's 1982 budget proposals on

these programs, including the proposed merger of the weatheri-

zation program with the Department of Housing and Urban





1/GAO has issued the following reports on these programs:
  Evaluation of Four Energy Conservation Programs--Fiscal
