The House Science and Technology Committee report accompanying H.R. 4929 is favorable, with some changes, to the appropriation bill. The report lists 20 amendments to the bill which are primarily changes or additions to funding proposals. A list of witnesses who testified at hearings relating to the bill and subcommittee activities explain the rationale for raising the budgets for fossil energy, energy conservation, solar and geothermal programs, and general research, and deletions or reductions of other items. The report also addresses the need for information and technology transfers between scientists in the public and private sectors. Descriptions of specific programs include committee views of the programs as well as the funding levels. The report concludes with a review of how the legislation will affect existing law and the economy and with a recommendation for passage and dissenting views of the committee.
