Mr. FuQUA. Our fourth and final witness is Dr. Harold Jaffe, the 

 Acting Director of the Department of Energy's Office of Interna- 

 tional Research and Development Policy. He will provide an over- 

 view of the international cooperation activities of the Department 

 of Energy. 



Dr. Jaffe, we are very glad to have you with us today. 



[A biographical sketch of Dr. Jaffe follows:] 



Dr. Harold Jaffee 



Harold Jaffe is responsible for developing, coordinating and monitoring all DOE 

 bilateral and multilateral R&D agreements, coordinating DOE's activities in the 

 R&D program of the International Energy Agency and all U.S. Government activi- 

 ties in the Nuclear Energy Agency, and developing and coordinating associated De- 

 partmental policies. Dr. Jaffe joined the Atomic Energy Commission in 1970 and 

 served in a number of technical management positions until 1976 when he joined 

 the International Affairs organization. Prior to his current assignment, Dr. Jaffe 

 served as the Deputy Office Director of the Office of Technical Programs under the 

 International Affairs Office of the Energy Research and Development Administra- 

 tion [ERDA] and the Department of Energy. 



Immediately prior to his Government service, Dr. Jaffe was the General Manager 

 of the Aerojet General Corp. plant at San Ramon, CA, and a member of the board of 

 directors of the Idaho Nuclear Corp. His primary responsibility was in research and 

 development. He also worked in petroleum research for the Union Oil Co. of Califor- 

 nia. He has had 16 years of industrial experience.

STATEMENT OF DR. HAROLD JAFFE, ACTING DIRECTOR, OFFICE 

 OF INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT POLICY, 

 OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AND ENERGY EMERGEN- 

 CIES, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, WASHINGTON, DC 



Dr. Jaffe. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is a pleasure to be here 

 today. 



I would like to present an abbreviated statement this morning 

 because of the time. 



Mr. FuQUA. Yes. We will make your prepared statement in its 

 entirety part of the record. 



Dr. Jaffe. Thank you very much. 



For those that try to follow me, I will be walking through the 

 statement, so it will be difficult to follow. 



Currently, the DOE participates in over 140 bilateral and multi- 

 lateral agreements and annexes concerned with energy research 

 and development, and they involve about 25 countries. These ac- 

 tivities span the basic sciences such as high energy physics that we 

 heard about this morning and fusion, to the more applied technol- 

 ogies such as enhanced oil recovery and end-use conservation tech- 

 nology. 



Of this number of over 140 bilaterals, approximately 30 are of an 

 umbrella type which cover cooperation in a particular broad area 

 or programmatic area, and it defines general terms and conditions 

 for activities in such a broad area. We have such agreements in the 

 broad area of fusion, and then under these umbrella agreements, 

 we have subagreements that deal with specific topics.
