buildings; and
(B) the price of natural gas increased 7.8 percent during June 2000
and has doubled since 1999;
(3) strong demand for gasoline and diesel fuel has resulted in
inventories of home heating oil that are down 39 percent from a year
ago;

communities for redevelopment and to assist employees of such facilities in
transferring to other employment.
(3) Limitations on the capacity of the Department of Energy to seek
reprogramming of funds for worker and community assistance programs in
response to the closure or downsizing of Department facilities undermines
the capability of the Department to respond appropriately to unforeseen
contingencies.
(b) SENSE OF SENATE- It is the sense of the Senate that, in agreeing
to the conference report to accompany the bill H.R. 4733 of the 106th
Congress, the conferees on the part of the Senate should not recede to
provisions or language proposed by the House of Representatives that would
limit the capacity of the Department of Energy to augment funds available for
