The requested resources will provide for executive direction of the ERA, public information services, planning, document distribution, program evaluation and administrative management support.

In FY 1980, the Office of Operations, Planning and Evaluation will continue to maintain and monitor the allotment of funds for ERA, provide budget and fiscal planning services, maintain and control Congressional and executive correspondence, maintain and process personnel documents, conduct special studies for the ERA and manage publication of the Federal Energy Guidelines.

The Office of Public Information will continue to provide the public with centralized information activities. This office maintains for public review major documents issued by the ERA or provides access to such documents. These responsibilities increased significantly in FY 1979 due to the passage of the National Energy Legislation.

Mr. Chairman, this concludes my formal statement for the record. I would be pleased to answer any questions you may have.
