DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5316241· OSTI ID:5316241

Since December 1979, the DOE Office of Intergovernmental Affairs has coordinated an action program with key energy-oriented State legislators throughout the nation. This effort, which involves 151 legislators and several components of DOE, began at the National Legislative Town Meeting on Energy held in Denver, CO December 17-19, 1979. This report summarizes the program and includes highlights of the Denver meeting. The meeting was conducted to assure that State legislative views on federal energy policy are effectively noted, and to encourage State legislators to introduce, support, and enact Federal energy policies and initiatives in their respective legislatures. Specifically, sections are devoted in this report to: the Roles of State Governments (excerpts from 3 speakers); Energy and Economics (excerpts from 4 speakers); and General Session Speeches (3 excerpts). Also included are: Town Meeting Evaluation (by participants); thumbnail sketches of DOE Regional Representatives; DOE Regional Map; List of Participants (with thumbnail sketches); and Resource Material/Contacts.
