President's April 5, 1979, energy address. Hearings before the Subcommittee on Energy and Power of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, House of Representatives, Ninety-Sixth Congress, First Session, April 25, 1979
Support for President Carter's April 5, 1979 energy address was presented by Janis James and John O'Leary of DOE and by Eliot Cutler and James McIntyre of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) at an April 25 hearing. The testimony focused on proposals for an energy-security fund, an energy-productivity task force, a critical energy-facility program, and the collecting of oil-price overcharges from the oil industry for low-income assistance. The witnesses were asked to clarify how the proposed Windfall Profits Tax will relate to Congressional appropriations and authorizing committees and to give more detail on how the proposed task force will operate. The OMB was asked to justify the use of executive privilege in deciding priorities. The statements of the four witnesses are followed by additional material submitted for the record by DOE and OMB.
