SUBJECT S Energy Conservation - Reduction in Fuel
Consumption
1. It is abundantly clear, both in private life and in the
operation of the Agency, that the energy crisis is going to
affect us all to some degree. Temperatures in our offices and
homes will be slightly lower in the winter and higher in the
summer. The gasoline shortage will affect our traveling plans
and our commuting patterns. Action is required now on the part
of all employees to adjust to this new environment and to take
positive steps to conserve energy+-.
2. Addressees are requested to personally interest them-
selves in the conservation of energy resources, particularly
fuel. The General Services Administration has established firm
regulations designed to force a 15 percent reduction in the use
.of gasoline by the Interagency Motor Pool. We have been asked
to cooperate,, although no firm quota has been established within
the Agency. The Agency's motor vehicle system, which permits
decentralized control over vehicles, requires the attention of
individual supervisors to successfully reduce. usage and conserve
fuel. Because of increasing demands, the Agency may not be
able, for any number of reasons, to reach a 15 percent reduction.
It is a worthwhile goal, however, and the following steps are
suggested as a means of reaching this reduced level of fuel
consumption.
a. All personnel must abide by the 50-mile-per-hour.
speed limit when driving U.S. Government vehicles.

b. Whenever possible, personnel authorized to rent
vehicles for U.S. Government business should use economy
vehicles, again observing the 50-mile-per-hour speed
limit.
c. Personnel should utilize the shuttle bus system
for official business. Use of POV's on a reimbursable
basis on routes served by the shuttle system must be
limited to those instances where efficiency of travel
in terms of timing, destination, and purpose makes the
use of POV's warranted.
Passengers should consolidate usage of Agency
vehicles, as well as use of POV travel.
e. Carpooling for employees should be encouraged.
To the extent consistent with office routine and
efficiency, addressees may establish individual working
hours that will permit carpool participation.
f. The use of public transportation should be en-
couraged whenever reasonable and appropriate.
g. Present TVA's should be reexamined to revalidate
requirements in view of recent organizational changes
and the present environment.
3. .1 expect the Deputy Director for Management and Serv-.
ices to take the lead in establishing a program for fuel con-
servation. This will mean restrictions on us all and less
convenxience.in the daily operation of the Agency. The success
of this program calls for unselfish support and a change in the
in both

or
normal pattern of activity. Your personal e
words and actions are required to encourage compliance to make
this program work. Please take time t
gets to each employee at Headquarters,
stations, with appropriate emphasis and indication oz senior sTATINTL
