Carter Seeks Energy Dept Formation Plan
President Carter asks Congress to create a Cabinet Department of Energy consolidating 19 scattered federal energy programs. The proposal would abolish the Federal Energy Administration, the Energy Research Development Administration, and the Federal Power Commission and transfer their functions plus parts of seven agencies to the new department. James R. Schlesinger would be the first secretary, stressing coordination of fragmented energy policy while preserving Interior Department leasing authority on lands and Outer Continental Shelf. The plan includes shifting regional energy units and several energy programs from Commerce, HUD, Defense, Transportation, the SEC and ICC to the new department. Senate introduction is planned by Senator Abraham Ribicoff.
