Energy and water development appropriations for 1987. Part 5. Hearings before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, Ninety-Ninth Congress, Second Session
Part 5 of the hearing record covers $12.1 billion in appropriations to DOE. Energy Secretary Herrington describes it as adequate to meet DOE's defense and civilian responsibilities and still contribute to the reduction of the national deficit. The budget emphasizes initiatives which would transfer power marketing and the Naval Petroleum Reserves to the private sector, places a moratorium on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at 500 million barrels, and introduces a new waste disposal program and new cooperative research and development programs in which the federal government serves as a minority partner with industry. Herrington defended the increase in defense activities within the budget and the administration's privatization programs. The volume also includes the budgets for solar and renewable energy sources, magnetic fusion, and the environment; nuclear fission and commercial waste management; general science and Basic Energy Sciences; and uranium supply and enrichment.
