Edward Noble, Chairman of the US Synthetic Fuels Corporation (SFC), Congressional Representatives from four affected states, as well as officials of DOE, the Synthetic Fuels Corporation (SFC), electric power and gas research institutes, and utilities testified at three days of hearings on the awarding of contracts to facilities for synthetic fuels. At issue was the administration's desire to link funding for the project to the market and the need to review changes since the Energy Security Act first established the synthetic fuels program. Those opposed to the reductions cited long-term energy goals and the chance that the market will not provide adequate incentives. Witnesses spoke of the need for continued technology improvements for increasing energy supplies and controlling pollution and appropriate legislative responses that will provide guidance for energy research and development. Two appendices with material for the record follow the testimony of 11 witnesses.
