Dr. John Gibbons, Director of the University of Tennessee Environment Center, served as symposium chairman. Federal officials outlined the Federal energy program and its policies at the Federal level in the first segment of the symposium. Dr. Robert Fri, Deputy Administrator of ERDA, spoke mainly on energy choices for the future. Roger Sant and John Quarles of FEA, who are responsible for developing strategies to ensure that energy is used efficiently and that environmental quality goals as well as energy goals are achieved, also spoke on Federal programs and perspectives. Mr. Don Whitehead, Federal Co-chairman of the Appalachian Regional Commission, was the moderator of a panel discussion whose members are living in Appalachia. John Bolinger, President of the Tennessee Natural Gas Company; John Moore, chairman of the Economics Department of the University of Tennessee; and James F. Watson, Manager of Power, TVA, were the spokesmen on the panel. Frank Zarb, FEA Administrator, charged with integrating energy programs and policies, summed up the proceedings briefly, as follows: in the 1960s, the U.S. sold out to cheap oil far from its shores; then began an economy based on cheap oil, leaving the development of alternative energy sources unattended until 1973 when the cheap oil price advanced $2 billion a year. Mr Zarb then analyzed the effects of paying for the imported oil on the American employment situation; if the money had been invested in developing American energy and keeping American factories going, many Americans would still be employed.
