1 a hed for your information is a memorandum from
Chief, which provides a penetrating
insight in o why mileage r the Freight Traffic Branch (FTB)
truck operations continues to rise despite efforts to curb
vehicle usage in compliance with Presidential mandates. The
memorandum serves to focus attention on the diversity and
volume of transportation requests routinely being levied upon
FTB which has adversely affected their responsiveness to
established automotive fuel reduction goals.
2. The FTB, being a service-dedicated, energy-intensive
operation, has always been receptive and responsive to the
transportation needs of the Agency. It operates under the
"You Call--We Haul" concept. As aptly pointed out, truck
operations are influenced by customer demand and established
mission functions, allowing minimal latitude for II manage-
ment to implement fuel economy measures. The dilemma presently
confronting FTB is that it cannot continue to remain responsive
to increased operational transportation demands while at the
same time be expected to meet automotive fuel reduction goals.
In our way of thinking, customer transportation requirements
should continue to be met by FTB in the most cost- and fuel-
efficient manner possible consistent with legitimate deadlines.

3. A review of the attached indicates the trips are
legitimate under the concept "You Call--We Haul," with no
savings to be made. This leads to the problem of control and
how to limit fuel consumption if we are required to in future
fuel shortages. Clearly does not want to be a "policeman"
nor does the Office of Logistics. Possibly it is time for
a study to try to get a handle on how transportation should
be requested, approval authorities, and who the "policeman"
will be in energy shortages. Please advise if you wish
Plans and Programs Staff to perform such a study.
