Purchase of gas increased from $68,000 to $74,800.

ANNUAL RECURRING ITEMS

An increase of $6,800 is requested for 1982 to cover an anticipated increase
in gas rates. The last increase to this allotment was in fiscal year 1979.

Users of this service include the 5 Senate Office Building Annexes, HOBA #2,
Botanic Garden, Poplar Point Nursery, Rayburn House Office Building.
Purchase of electrical energy increased from $13,575,000 to $15,300,000.

For the fiscal year 1981, based on our most current projections which
include the proposed fiscal year 1981 program supplemental of $2,300,000, the
total estimated expenditure for the procurement of 236,747,995 K.W. hours of
electrical energy will be $13,575,000. This averages to a cost of 5.7 cents
per K.W. hour, including demand charges, surcharges, and fuel adjustment
charges.

For 1982, based on figures presently predictable, we are asking for an
amount of $15,300,000 - -- or an increase of $1,725,000 over the 1981 amount.
The amount of $15,300,000 is predicated on the procurement of 242,672,995 K.W.
hours of electrical energy, at an average cost of 6.3 cents per K.W. hour,
including demand charges, surcharges, and fuel adjustment charges.

The 1982 increase of $1,725,000 is, therefore, based on an anticipated addi-
tional consumption of 5,925,000 K.W. hours and a projected rate increase
amounting to 10 percent of the 1981 cost.

The anticipated additional consumption will result primarily from the
commencement of furnishing energy to the newly constructed Hart Senate Office
Building.
