Energy and Science Reports and Testimony: 1992

Energy and science concerns remain at the forefront of significant national issues. The continuing dependence on imported oil, the staggering costs that will be required to clean up the nuclear weapons complex, and the expectations for science and technology to improve the nation's ability to compete globally are among the energy and science concerns that are intertwined with current efforts to address the federal budget deficit and improve the nation's economy. Because of this, energy and science will play key roles in public policy decisions for the foreseeable future.

During 1992, GAO issued reports related to these and other energy and science issues. Highlights of GAO's work include: (1) science and technology, (2) managing the Department of Energy; (3) energy supply and demand; and (4) nuclear waste.

This annual index inclues information on these and other GAO documents directly related to energy and science that were issued between January and December 1992. This index should be useful for general information and research purposes and for understanding the energy and science issues that GAO is addressing.
