This joint hearing focuses on the Federal role in support of the Continental Drilling Program. This program could yield insights into the geophysical processes of the Earth's crust which would enable the development of improved technologies for exploration and extraction of energy and mineral resources, and it could increase the basic knowledge about the use of geothermal energy as well as the ability to predict the probability of earthquakes and volcanic activity. H.R. 2737 proposes to raise the goals, priorities, and benefits of the current Continental Scientific Drilling Program to the stature of a comprehensive national program. The responsibility of administering the Program is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Energy, the Department of the Interior, and the National Science Foundation. The objective of the hearing is to find the best way of ensuring that three separate agencies, each of which has a unique and important mission, can carry out a program that is coordinated to the maximum extent possible. Testimony was heard from 7 witnesses.
