Residential Conservation Service. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and Power of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, Ninety-Eighth Congress, First Session, September 26, 1983
Reviewing DOE's record of mismanaging the mandated residential conservation program in ways that delay and hinder congressional intent were 16 witnesses from the General Accounting Office, DOE, utilities, and conservation groups. DOE's performance reflects the administration's policy of reducing government involvement. Witnesses also reviewed the program itself to see if it is cost effective, whether it is reaching the right people, whether those who have energy audits take any different actions than those who don't, and whether there would be a better response from state programs. DOE representatives defended their performance in view of budget and staff reductions and the fact that a program evaluation was underway at the time. Material submitted for the record follows their testimony.
