Status of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

Book ·
OSTI ID:6720408
Thirteen witnesses testified at a hearing on the progress made on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) program, which was instigated to prevent undue economic or political pressure on the US in the event of a future interruption of supplies. Despite its national security role, the SPR had been controversial. The resulting failure to meet funding and reserve goals is examined by representatives of industry, transportation interests, the underground storage industry, and government agencies, including DOE and the Government Accounting Office. Additional material submitted for the record follows the testimony.
