An oversight hearing was conducted on Public Law 93-577, the Federal Nonnuclear Energy Research and Development Act of 1974. This Act establishes general policy and objectives and provides for Federal funding for nonnunclear research, development, and demonstration (R, D, and D) programs of the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA). Administrator of ERDA, Dr. Robert Seamans, Jr., described the plan and program for energy R, D, and D, which are required by Section Six of Public Law 93-577. In reviewing the report presenting ERDA's plan, Dr. Seamans concludes that the U.S. does not have any good energy resource choices; it must continue to import petroleum. ERDA's plan is to aggresively pursue multiple options, with emphasis on those options that can have a major impact. The second witness, Emilio Q. Daddario, Director of the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), discusses activities of OTA in analyzing ERDA's plans and programs. The Appendix contains the following: ERDA'S report, ''A National Plan for Energy Research, Development and Demonstration: Creating Energy Choices for the Future, Volumes I and II''; ''The Nation's Energy Future,'' a report to President Nixon submitted by Dr. Dixy Lee Ray; and three Congressional Research Service Reports.
