WHEREAS, The U.S. Department of Energy has been prosecuting

regulations;
WHEREAS, The Department of Energy has collected $200 million
as restitution payments to State and local governments as
compensation for unidentifiable consumers injured by oil price
overcharging;
WHEREAS, Congress has recently enacted legislation

purpose of supplemental energy assistance;
WHEREAS, Maryland will receive approximately $3.58 million
from such authorization;
WHEREAS, Rising energy prices have placed the greatest
financial burden on low-income people;
WHEREAS, The elderly and other low-income people are the

live in old energy-wasteful homes; now, therefore,
