Over the past 8 years Presidential speeches and messages on energy issues have documented the evolution of energy policy in three administrations. The first Presidential energy message to Congress in 1971 stressed the development of domestic energy resources, with particular emphasis on the development of the fast breeder reactor. Subsequent messages, from both Presidents Nixon and Ford, continued the theme of developing domestic energy resources while proposing various measures to reduce U.S. dependence on oil imports. President Carter's energy messages have emphasized the importance of conservation. The national energy program he submitted to Congress in April, 1977 was designed to achieve conservation through such means as crude oil taxes and reform of utility rate structures. This collection of 57 Presidential energy messages and statements brings up to date similar compilations prepared in 1973 and 1975.
