On the recordJuly 15, 1997
In addition, is it the Senator's understanding that the Solar Thermal Power Program would receive an additional $4.8 million from available funds? And if so, of this amount, $3.8 million will be available for solar dish engine technologies and the remaining $1 million will go to the solar industrial programs. This would bring the total solar thermal account to $19.1 million. Further, is it also the Senator's understanding that the solar international account will receive an additional $2 million, bringing the total for this program to $4 million. Is it also the Senator's understanding that the program allocation will be used in support of the Committee on Renewable Energy Commerce and Trade?
