                            BEFORE THE
            SUBCOMMITTEE ON FOSSIL AND SYNTHETIC FUELS
                              OF THE

                                ON
       ACTIVITIES OF  THE ENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATION


Mr. Chairman and Members  of the Subcommittee:

     I welcome  the opportunity to discuss the Professional Audit

Review Team's  (PART's) evaluation of the activities of the

Energy Information Administration  (EIA).

     PART has closely  followed EIA's activities over the past

several years, and has  issued four reports to the Congress and

the President on our findings  and recommendations.  Because of

PART's broad legislative mandate, we  have focused our work on

EIA's key management functions, and evaluated  whether EIA's data

collection and analysis activities  are being performed in an

objective and professional manner, consistent with  the intent of

the Congress.

     In today's testimony I will draw heavily on  the tentative

findings and observations of our most recent work.  We  expect to

report on these matters in April of this year.

     In conducting our review, we noted that EIA  continues to be

faced with both budgetary and staffing resource  constraints.
