Many legislators appear inclined to accept the Carter-Schlesinger argument for quick approval of the DOE proposal, which runs: "Pass this one to let us get things organized and running." The big battle, over the substance of energy policy itself, will begin when the Administration starts hammering out the proposals that it plans to submit to Congress by April...
