Administration Energy Policy

Unlike the past Administration where Secretary Richardson served as the lead
on energy policy, the Bush Administration has created a new, interagency
group to develop energy policy. "The National Energy Policy Development
Group" was created for this purpose and will be lead by Vice President
Cheney with former Senate Energy Committee Staff Director Andrew Lundquist
serving as the group's director. As such, rather than focusing our policy
meetings at DOE, we should refocus instead on developing policy with this
group which includes DOE, DOA, DOI, Treasury, etc. Brian Malnak is the new
Senate Energy Committee Staff Director.
