Congress and the energy record. A report to the Senate Majority Conference

Book ·
OSTI ID:7180596
Congressional actions to conserve energy are aimed at reducing wastes (with particular attention to transportation) by legislating incentives to raise efficiency standards and blocking policies inconsistent with full employment. Senate Democrats believe that energy is essential to American life and reject high energy prices as a method of achieving economic recovery. The Senate majority opposed the Administration plans as a disastrous inequity to consumers that might not result in any real conservation of energy. A review of legislative actions in connection with National energy policy covers the years 1971 through 1975. A status report lists pending legislation and areas of disagreement with Administration proposals. (DCK)
