The 94th Congress was not unified on much legislative action during 1976, and all energy issues remained unresolved. Legislation to coordinate the voluntary U. S. conversion to the metric system was passed. Also of note was the passage by Congress and the President signing into law the White House advisory post for scientific and engineering-related matters. Energy issues that were presented and discussed, but lacked concrete actions, included: controls on the price of domestic oil and gas; leasing procedures for Federal offshore oil; provisions for conservation in residential and commercial buildings and other conservation proposals; and amendments of laws to produce clean air and clean water. Federal standards for residential and commercial design and construction were attached as provisions to authorization legislation continuing the Federal Energy Administration for 18 months. (MCW)
