The hearings relating to legislation to provide funding for the Federal Energy Administration beyond June 30, 1976, were presided over by Rep. John D. Dingell. ''In the face of this Nation's sizable energy resources and requirements, the necessity for effective regulation of both the use and recovery of our energy resources is acute,'' he said, adding that Congress must provide the means for the FEA to perform its functions adequately. The full texts of H.R. 12092, H.R. 12169, H.R. 12243, and H.R. 12478 precede statements by Robert Buckler, legislative assistant to Rep. James L. Oberstar of Minnesota, 29 representatives from the FEA, Rep. Floyd J. Fithian of Indiana, and Rep. Oberstar in this print. Additional material submitted for the record by the FEA includes much information on energy production, consumption, legislation, and conservation. Also included in the ''additional material'' is correspondence concerning the ''pack of lies'' public service messages proposed to be distributed by FEA to radio and TV stations regarding an impending natural gas shortage. A memorandum and order concerning the publication and distribution of a booklet, ''The Natural Gas Story,'' and the discussion on its interpretation are included. (MCW)
