Hearings to review the DOE's 1983 budget request for $22 million for conservation programs examined the allocation of $17.5 million for multi-sector research and development programs and $4.3 million for state and local programs. The request represents a 97% reduction from the 1981 budget, and a virtual termination of federal participation in conservation policy. Principal witnesses at the hearing were J.H. Gibbons of the Office of Technology Assessment, D.H. Moultor of the Energy Conservation Coalition, Louis Roddis of the DOE Energy Research Advisory Board, and J.J. Tribble of the DOE Conservation and Renewable Energy office. Concern over the administration's request was tempered by the high level of investment in past years which is now producing demonstration data. Tribble also noted that energy prices, not federal programs, led to 95% of the energy conservation effort since 1972. The hearing record includes seven statements and additional statements and communications submitted for the record. (DCK)
