Coal lU'scarch including fossil
fuel energy K&D and
related aclivilt's conducted by
the Hiireuu of Mines "energy
centers,” and the underground
electric power transmission
research. Also transferrtKl to
RKDA will Im> functions of the
National Science Roundation
relating to .solar heating and
ciHtling development, and to
geothermal power develop
ment. The Rnvironmental
Pntiwlitm Agency will transfer
to RKDA programs relative to
the development and demon
stration of automotive power
systems and of the technologies
to control emissions of
pollutants from .stationary
.sources using fossil fuel.
It is believed that this con
solidated approach to the
serious question of shortages
can bi'st be handled by one
agmey rat her than three or four
separate agencies trying to find
solut ions.
Another legislative hassle
developed over the Conference
Ki'port regarding the Rnergy
Rmergency Act. As previously
explained, this is a bill which
would give the President broad
|M)wers as they relate to
rationing and issuing ad
ministrative directives such as
controlled speed limits And the
closing of gas stations at-certain
times. The main issue at stake
was just how much authority
('ongress should attempt to
retain, some feeling that the
President should assume full
responsibility while others of us
bt'lieving that the Congress had
already delegated too much
jxnver to the Administration
and should assume some degree
of responsibility at this critical
lime in the history of this
nation. In any event, between
the House and the innate as
well as the Conferees,
deliberations consumed ap
proximately six days in con
sidering this legislation.
It is unfortunate that such
critical legislation has to be
considered in the closing hours
of a legislative session, for in
the haste to reach ad
journment. all too often
amendments are approved
which sometimes prove to be
not in the best interest of the
people of this nation.
In their motion to adjourn
sine die, the House agreed to
reconvene on January 21, 1974;
therefore, this column will be
suspended until the House
reconvenes, and I take this
opportunity to wish each and
everyone a happy 1974.
