    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of Energy's mission is to foster a secure and reliable
    energy system that is environmentally and economically sustainable; to
    be a responsible steward of the Nation's nuclear weapons; to clean up
    the Department's facilities; to lead in the physical sciences and
    advance the biological, environmental, and computational sciences; and
    to provide premier scientific instruments for the Nation's research
    enterprise.
    The Department of Energy (DOE) was established by the Department of
    Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7131), effective October 1, 1977,
    pursuant to Executive Order 12009 of September 13, 1977. The act
    consolidated the major Federal energy functions into one Cabinet-level
    Department.

    Secretary  The Secretary decides major energy policy and planning
    issues; acts as the principal spokesperson for the Department; and
    ensures the effective communication and working relationships with
    Federal, State, local, and tribal governments and the public. The
    Secretary is the principal adviser to the President on energy policies,
    plans, and programs.

    Counterintelligence  The Office of Counterintelligence develops and
    implements an effective counterintelligence program to identify,
    neutralize, and deter foreign government or industrial intelligence
    activities directed at or involving Department programs, personnel,
    facilities, technologies, classified information, and sensitive
    information. The Office formulates all DOE counterintelligence policy
    and coordinates all investigative matters with the Federal Bureau of
    Investigation.

    For further information, contact the Office of Counterintelligence.
    Phone, 202-586-5901.

    Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board Liaison  The Office of the
    Departmental Representative to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety
    Board (DNFSB) manages the Department's interaction with DNFSB as
    mandated by law, including achievement of the mutual goal of ensuring
    protection of public and employee health and safety and the environment
    by appropriate and timely resolution of DNFSB recommendations and
    concerns.

    For further information, contact the Departmental Representative to the
    Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board. Phone, 202-586-3887.

    Intelligence  The Office of Intelligence ensures that departmental
    intelligence information requirements are met and that the Department's
    technical, analytical, and research expertise is made available to
    support U.S. intelligence efforts. The Office ensures effective use of
    the U.S. Government's intelligence apparatus in support of the
    Department of Energy's needs for information on foreign energy
    situations and hostile threats, information on global nuclear weapons
    development, nonproliferation, and foreign hydrocarbon, nuclear, and
    other energy production and consumption.

    For further information, contact the Office of Intelligence. Phone, 202-

    [[Page 218]]

    Fiscal Year 2000 to bring focus to the management of the Nation's
    defense nuclear security programs. Three existing organizations within
    the Department of Energy--Defense Programs, Defense Nuclear
    Nonproliferation, and Naval Reactors--were combined into a new,
    separately organized and managed agency within the DOE, headed by an
    Administrator who reports to the Secretary. The NNSA is responsible for
    strengthening United States security through military application of
    nuclear energy and by reducing the global threat from terrorism and
    weapons of mass destruction.

    For further information, contact the Associate Administrator for
    Management and Administration. Phone, 202-586-8454.

    Defense Activities  The Office of the Deputy Administrator for Defense

    Science Program

    The Office of Science supports basic research that underpins DOE
    missions in national security, energy, and environment; constructs and
    operates large scientific facilities for the U.S. scientific community;
    and provides the infrastructure support for 10 national laboratories. In
    terms of basic research, the Office of Science provides over 40% of
    Federal support to the physical sciences (including 90% of Federal
    support for high energy and nuclear physics), the sole support to select
    sub-

    [[Page 219]]

    fields of national importance, such as nuclear medicine, heavy element
    chemistry, and magnetic fusion, and support for the research of
    scientists and graduate students located in universities throughout the
    Nation. Office of Science support for major scientific user facilities,
    including accelerators, synchrotron light sources, and neutron sources,
    means that more that 18,000 scientists per year are able to use these
    state-of-the-art facilities to conduct research in a wide range of
    fields, including biology, medicine, and materials.

    production, environmental restoration, and waste management activities
    are carried out by contractors who operate Government-owned facilities.
    Management and administration of Government-owned, contractor-operated
    facility contracts are the major responsibility of the Department's
    eight operations offices and two special purpose field offices.
        Department operations offices provide a formal link between
    Department headquarters and the field laboratories and other operating
    facilities. They also manage programs and projects as assigned from lead
    headquarters program offices. Routine management guidance, coordination,
    and oversight of the operations and field offices is provided by the
    Office of Field Integration. Daily specific program direction for the
    operations offices is provided by the cognizant Assistant Secretary,
    Office Director, or program officer.
