Sixteen witnesses representing the elderly and low-income groups, conservation and weatherization programs, and community services challenged administration plans to reduce energy assistance and the effects of an overall policy of funding cuts in programs that serve human needs. The high cost of energy has made it the major problem for the elderly and poor. Among the concerns expressed was the administration's practice of holding up appropriated funds despite Congressional intent to continue financial-assistance programs. Additional material submitted for the record follows the testimony. (DCK)
