Three days of hearings to review the 1985 DOE budget reflected the shift in priorities from the support of solar energy and conservation to that of nuclear weapons. At issue, besides the changing emphasis, was the high level of support for fusion research at a time when budget deficits are a major concern. Other issues were nuclear waste management and DOE procedures and performance. The 21 witnesses included Donald Hodel and other DOE personnel, representatives of utilities and environmental groups, and other government agency officials. Material submitted for the record follows the testimony.
