OSTI ID:5512931
This subcommittee report discusses the country's vulnerability to a crude-oil cutoff and the role an allocation program has been expected to play in the past. The second section outlines the history of the program and its basic mechanics. The report then reviews the performance of the program and the DOE during the 1979 shortage. The subcommittee major recommendations are: (1) the need to develop sound contingency plans for an oil-supply disruption; (2) the need to increase the levels of priority and attention given to such plans by the DOE, and (3) the need to revamp the structure and procedures of the agency's exceptions process. 230 references.
