Energy Secretary Donald Hodel was the first witness of a two-day hearing to consider the DOE performance and 1984 budget. Chairman Ottinger expressed displeasure with DOE's flaunting of Congressional intent on energy matters and its overemphasis of nucear energy to the near exclusion of solar energy and conservation. There was also concern with the increase in the weapons portion of the budget and plans for private financing of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor. Hodel responded to these and other questions in his testimony. Twelve other witnesses spoke for environmental groups and energy companies and projects receiving funding from DOE. Additional material for the record from the American Nuclear Energy Council, the Edison Electric Institute, DOE, and the Energy Conservation and Power Subcommittee follows the testimony. (DCK)
