Testimony from ERDA management, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Mitre Corp. reviewed the status of the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI). Issues covered were the role, mission, and organizational structure of the Institute, its relationship with industry, and an examination of the potential of former Atomic Energy Commission laboratories and National Aeronautics and Space Administration centers as sites for solar research programs. Rep. Goldwater urged ERDA to maintain its independence and objectivity during the site selection process in spite of heavy political pressure from the states. Dr. Teem, of ERDA, testified that SERI should contribute to the National solar program by determining where and what research should be done, and then either proceed with the work or assure that it be undertaken elsewhere. Results of SERI's efforts should be put to practical use according to need and economic feasibility. (DCK)
