Kevin F. Boland of the General Accounting Office (GAO), Donald Hodel of DOE, and Richard T. McCormack of the State Department were the principal witnesses at a hearing on US preparations for an energy emergency in the event of a severe oil-supply disruption. At issue was the need to supplement the administration's reliance on the free market with plans to mitigate the economic and security impacts of an emergency, as documented in a GAO report. Witnesses were asked to respond to questions on the status of plans. Hodel defended the rate of progress, while McCormack reviewed the status of international cooperative planning. An appendix with additional responses from Hodel follows the testimony. (DCK)
