OSTI ID:6757328

The committee recommends an amended version of H.R. 5048, which authorizes DOE appropriations for civilian applications for fiscal years 1985 and 1986. The bill, as introduced, restores the balance to energy programs, but still keeps spending levels below 1981 in keeping with the administration's policy. It shifts some of the increased spending requests for nuclear fission and fusion back to partially restore cuts in conservation, fossil, and solar energy budgets. The report covers background on the need for legislation, details of the authorization, a summary of the hearings and committee debate, a section-by-section analysis of the amended bill, and a summary of the assenting and dissenting views.
