The "Hydroelectric Development in New England" hearing was a pivotal August 1981 session held by the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The hearing addressed the booming "mini-hydro" rush driven by the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act PURPA and regional disputes over cheap renewable energy The PURPA Boom: Driven by the 1970s oil crises Congress passed PURPA in 1978 to reduce foreign oil dependence. By 1981 this led to a "gold rush" of developers seeking to retrofit finance and construct small-scale hydroelectric plants. The legislation guaranteed a market for the electricity and offered sizable tax credits. The 1981 hearing touched on a major regional crisis. New Hampshire attempted to stop "exporting" relatively inexpensive hydroelectricity generated on the Connecticut River to Massachusetts and Rhode Island in order to lower its own citizens' utility bills. This sparked a legal war that culminated in the 1982 Supreme Court case New England Power Co. v. New Hampshire where the Court ruled that states could not constitutionally restrict the interstate trade of hydro-power. Despite federal tax incentives developers faced severe bottlenecks in trying to build or revive small hydro plants. The hearing focused heavily on accelerating the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission FERC licensing process to encourage development. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback

This includes statements from Wilbur Campbell Ken Cory Charles DiBona Ed Gabriel Saul Goodman David Linowes Charles Mankin William Pendley Pete Smith Laurence Steenberg and Malcolm Wallop. The Federal Energy and Mineral Resources Act of 1982 S. 2305 hearings were held before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources during the 97th Congress. They addressed severe revenue shortfalls and accounting problems in the collection of mineral royalties from federal and Indian lands.The legislation responded to findings by the Commission on Fiscal Accountability of the Nation's Energy Resources which highlighted lax site security and ineffective royalty collection. The Government Accountability Office GAO testified in support of the bill noting that historical site security on federal and Indian lands was "extremely lax". The GAO urged the Department of Interior to take the lead in developing strict site security and inspection strategies. The hearings centered on modernizing the accounting and control of royalties establishing minimum standards for site security plans and mandating record-keeping for mineral transport. Proposals included provisions allowing the Secretary of the Interior to delegate audit and inspection responsibilities to states provided a uniform and effective accounting system was used. The bill also required strict protections for Indian lands requiring permission from affected tribes for such delegation. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback

Figures. Footnotes. Appendices. Glossary. Small tears at spine slight soiling to text staples in front cover small stains on title page. Inscribed to Nancy Brooks by Michael Madigan Staff Counsel and Spencer Davis Staff Press Secretary. In 1973 the Senate Watergate Committee investigation revealed that the executive branch had directed national intelligence agencies to carry out constitutionally questionable domestic security operations. In 1974 Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh published a front-page New York Times article claiming that the CIA had been spying on anti-war activists for more than a decade violating the agency's charter. Former CIA officials and some lawmakers including Senators William Proxmire and Stuart Symington called for a congressional inquiry. On January 21 1975 Senator John Pastore introduced a resolution to establish a select committee to investigate federal intelligence operations and determine "the extent if any to which illegal improper or unethical activities were engaged in by any agency of the Federal Government." The Senate approved the resolution 82-4. The final report included 96 recommendations legislative and regulatory designed "to place intelligence activities within the constitutional scheme for controlling government power." The committee recommended strengthening oversight of intelligence activities. Majority Leader Mike Mansfield cautioned the Senate "against letting the affair become a ‘television extravaganza.'" He and Republican Leader Hugh Scott carefully selected committee members balancing experienced lawmakers with junior members and ensuring that members represented a variety of political viewpoints. Mansfield selected Democrat Frank Church of Idaho to serve as chairman. A 16-year member of the Committee on Foreign Relations Church recognized the strategic value of the nation's top intelligence agencies and was also mindful of the need for American institutions to function within the confines of U.S. constitutional law. He had aggressively lobbied to lead the investigation. Republican John Tower of Texas a member of the Armed Services Committee was selected as the committee's vice-chairman. The committee decided that most of its hearings would be held in closed executive session in order to protect intelligence sources and methods. The committee held a series of public hearings in September and October of 1975 to educate the American public about the "unlawful or improper conduct" of the intelligence community highlighting a few carefully selected cases of misconduct. These hearings examined a CIA biological agents program a White House domestic surveillance program IRS intelligence activities and the FBI's program to disrupt the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements. These nationally televised events offered the American public an opportunity to learn about the secret operations conducted for decades by U.S. intelligence agencies. The committee faced a formidable task: to conduct a wide-ranging investigation of the nation's most secret agencies and programs and based on those findings write a detailed report including legislative recommendations. All of this work was to be completed within one year later extended to 16 months. After a meeting with President Gerald Ford and his top national security advisors Church and Vice-Chairman Tower secured from the president a pledge that the White House would cooperate with Senate investigators. Staff identified potential programs for study and began requesting documents from intelligence agencies. Though staff did not always receive documents in a timely fashion they enjoyed unprecedented access to materials that had never before been made public. Perhaps the most well-known of these internal reports the CIA's so-called "Family Jewels" outlined the agency's misdeeds dating back to President Dwight Eisenhower's administration. This report as well as those found in other agencies provided road maps that staff investigators used to piece together complicated histories of domestic foreign and military intelligence programs during the Cold War era. Even with a peak staff of 150 however organizing and analyzing these materials proved to be an arduous task. After holding 126 full committee meetings 40 subcommittee hearings interviewing some 800 witnesses in public and closed sessions and combing through 110000 documents the committee published its final report on April 29 1976. Congress approved legislation to provide for greater checks and balances of the intelligence community. In 1978 Congress approved and President Jimmy Carter signed into law the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act FISA requiring the executive branch to request warrants for wiretapping and surveillance purposes from a newly formed FISA Court. Today the Church Committee reports and hearings are frequently used by scholars who continue to examine U.S. intelligence activities during the Cold War era. U. S.

The Export Trading Company Act ETCA of 1980 was initially proposed as a legislative effort to encourage and promote the formation of U.S. export trading companies ETC. By allowing banking institutions to invest in these trading companies the Act sought to help small and medium-sized American businesses expand globally. The original bills introduced in the 96th Congress eventually evolved into the finalized Export Trading Company Act of 1982 Pub. L. 97-290. This landmark legislation is designed to boost American exports by tackling three major hurdles: access to financing antitrust restrictions and promotion. The finalized legislation accomplished these goals across several core Titles:Banking and Financing Title II: It breached the historical separation of banking and commerce by permitting eligible banking entities-such as bank holding companies and Edge Act corporations-to acquire equity in export trading companies. It also improved exporters' access to working capital by establishing a loan guarantee program through the Export-Import Bank. Antitrust Exemption / Certification Title III: It established a certification procedure overseen by the Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice. If granted a Certificate of Review exporters receive immunity from federal and state antitrust suits for specified export conduct drastically reducing the risk of private treble-damage antitrust lawsuits. Antitrust Clarification Title IV: It amended the Sherman Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act to clarify that the antitrust laws generally do not apply to conduct involving foreign commerce unless it has a "direct substantial and reasonably foreseeable effect" on U.S. domestic commerce. Trade Promotion Title I: It directed the Secretary of Commerce to promote ETCs and facilitate connections between producers of exportable goods and companies providing export services. Today the program is administered by the International Trade Administration. It allows U.S. companies to form export joint ventures to share resources such as negotiating volume freight rate discounts or participating in large-volume sales without the fear of violating antitrust laws.
