William A. Vaughan of DOE's Office of Environmental Protection, Safety, and Engineering Preparedness opened a two-day hearing on whether delays in purchasing oil and building storage for the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) are reducing US insurance against a supply disruption, and whether administration policies in regard to the SPR are in the national interest. Testimony was given by DOE Secretary Hodel, officials of the General Accounting Office, and spokesmen from consumer groups, industry, and farmers cooperatives. Additional material submitted by DOE, the American Petroleum Institute, the Transportation Institute, and the Fossil and Synthetic Fuels Subcommittee follows the testimony of nine witnesses. (DCK)
