Dr. Alvin Trivelpiece, Director of the DOE Energy Research, Mary L. Walker of DOE, and Dr. James Kane of the University of California testified on the administration's request of $273.8 million for DOE environmental programs. Partly because of Dr. Kane's criticisms of the 1976 budget, much of the $45.2 million increase over the 1986 request would go for new safety and health initiatives, with the remainder going for biological and environmental research. Kane was particularly critical of measures to protect the health and safety of DOE workers. DOE also acknowledges the global nature of biological and environmental research program. An appendix with additional communications and statements submitted for the record follow the testimony of the three witnesses.
