Representatives of DOE agencies, automotive and alternative fuel research groups, and the electrical vehicle industry testified during a two-day hearing on 1984 appropriations for research and development on transportation. Of major concern was an administration proposal to reduce spending for these programs by 23%, consolidating some and terminating others. Positive signs in the budget proposal for 1985 include an emphasis on high-temperature materials development. DOE spokesmen explained the rationale behind the budget figures and allocations, emphasizing the need to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Others spoke to the energy supply and security implications of pursuing alternative fuel and transportation modes. Two letters submitted for the record follow the testimony.
