Explosive FEA memo targets agency neglect of vulnerable
A scathing internal memo accuses the Federal Energy Administration and its Special Impact Office of ignoring the poor elderly and disadvantaged. It cites stalled surveys, delayed aid programs and political manipulation, noting cases like a paraplegic seeking gas aid and a migrant-worker fuel program praised as precedent but ineffectual amid the oil crisis. The memo, written by Susan Silver, led to a new director and calls for bleaker, long-range relief strategies.
