Summary
Because the DOE contract was RCEE's sole source of financial support, non-renewal of the same prompted the RCEE Board of Directors to suspend the group's operations as of September 30, 1985. The story of ESCOE/RCEE is best told by the attached graphic which shows the funding and staffing profiles under the DOE contract. The reader is encouraged to draw his/her own conclusions. In our analysis, the critical features are (1) underspending of the contract funds by an estimated 200,000, (2) enduring and consistent underutilization of the group's technical manpower capability by the funding agency, and (3) the negative slopes in the staffing curve (cityscape) which coincide with (a) funding indecisions in the election year (late 1979 to late 1980) and (b) energy policy changes by the new Administration (early 1981 to late 1981). The mid-1985 staffing slide represents a DOE/PETC resolve to not renew the contract. RCEE takes this opportunity to recognize the DOE/FE officials who, over the years, have established and maintained effective working relations with our group.
