ATTACHMENT A
SUBJECT: Budgeting for the Federal Energy Management Program (FEh,P)
The President has directed Federal agencies to examine their activities
to assure appropriate priority has been given to energy conservation.
Agencies should pursue activities necessary to implement Executive Order
No. 12003 relating to Federal Government energy conservation.
This Executive order requires that agencies aim by 198'5 to reduce their
energy consumption from 1975 levels: (1) by 20 percent for existing
Federal buildings, (2) by 45 percent for new Federal buildings, and
(3) through meeting specified fuel economy standards for car purchases.
Copies of Executive Order No. 12003 and the associated White House press
release are attached to this memorandum.
You should identify activities that will help achieve the President's
energy conservation goals. In doing so, please look carefally at your
existing programs to see whether there are areas where tradeoffs can be
made.
There may be a tendency to defer energy conservation improvements in
order to respond to near-term problems that are identified more directly
with the agencies' stated missions. We urge you to be sensitive to this
tendency and take a balanced view giving full consideration to the Presi-
dent's Federal Government-wide energy reduction goai.s.
This year staff of the Office of Management and Budget and the Federal
Energy Administration (Department of Energy after October 1, 1977) will
meet with staff of key agencies that have major energy-saving potential
to give guidance with respect to information needed in addition to that
in their FY 1979 budget requests. For subsequent years, this Office will
publish formal budget guidance on the Federal Energy %'anage ient Program
for all executive agencies. In the meantime, we urge you on, your own
initiative to take steps necessary to cof rily with the President's Execu-
tive order.
