Title: United States Department of Energy Posture Statement. [Contains sections on National Defense, the National Energy Strategy, Environmental Restoration and Waste Management, Science and Technology, and DOE management]

Abstract

I welcome this opportunity to present my fourth annual report on the posture of the United States Department of Energy (DOE). This report will provide a retrospective on the Department I inherited four years ago, the progress made during this period, and thoughts on future directions and challenges facing the new Administration. Since my confirmation on March 1, 1989, it has been an honor to serve President Bush and the Nation as the sixth Secretary of Energy. I have held this office during a period of breathtaking change in the world. Who would have imagined four years ago the end of the cold war, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the crumbling of the Berlin Wall, all of which have brought hope of a new world order'' of stability, growth, and cooperation among nations. Yet, these four years also have seen this new hope threatened by regional conflict. The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait served as a stark reminder both of the dangers that remain in the world and of the energy vulnerabilities we face as a Nation. These changes have had a profound effect on the missions and priorities of the Department of Energy. Over the past four years,more » we have made significant progress in addressing these challenges. While there is still much to be done, the next Secretary of Energy will find that DOE is now positioned to address the remaining challenges and opportunities as our Nation moves into the next century.« less
