The controversy of the resource conservation issue, defined by the moderator, Gene T. Kinney, as a wise and productive use of energy, is discussed. He notes that the meaning changes constantly, though, as technology and economics change. Five different perspectives on conservation are presented. Robert B. Rosenberg, Vice President, Research and Development of the Gas Research Institute spoke on the technological point of view; David P. Reynolds, Chairman, Reynolds Metals Company, discussed the issue from the standpoint of what a major industry user is doing; Marvin S. Lieberman, former Chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission, approached the subject from the state regulatory view; Harvey A. Proctor, Chairman, Southern California Gas Company, dealt with customer relations; and Orrin Hatch, U.S. Senator from Utah, spoke on the legislative viewpoint.
