These materials have been returned to the individual who has primary proprietary interest.
Materials covered by the Act have been archivally processed and are described in this register. Items which are security classified or otherwise restricted under the act and regulations have been removed and placed in a closed file. A Document Withdrawal Record (GSA Form 7279 or NA Form 14021) with a description of each restricted document has been inserted at the beginning of each folder from which materials have been removed. A Document Control Record marks the original position of the withdrawn item. Employees of the National Archives will review periodically the unclassified portions of closed materials for the purpose of opening those which no longer require restriction. Certain classified documents may be declassified under authority of Executive Order 13526 in response to a Mandatory Review Request (NA Form 14020) submitted by the researcher.

Scope and Content Note
The Energy Policy Office (EPO) file group documents the Nixon administration's energy policies for the early 1970's. The EPO was established within the Executive Office of the President by Executive Order 11726 on June 29, 1973 out of an earlier White House committee, the National Energy Office. John A. Love and Charles J. DiBona were appointed as director and deputy-director respectively in June 1973. The EPO's mission was to identify major problems in the energy area, review alternatives, make policy recommendations, assure that Federal agencies developed short and long-range plans for dealing with energy matters, and monitor the implementation of approved energy policies in order to achieve independence from foreign energy suppliers by 1980. It assumed most of the energy-related activities of the Department of Interior as well as programs from the Department of Agriculture, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Commerce Department and related agencies. Both Love and DiBona resigned on December 4, 1973, when the EPO was abolished by Executive Order 11775 and its functions and responsibilities were transferred to the Federal Energy Office.
In addition to John Love's and Charles DiBona's files the EPO's files consist of the office files of John F. Schaefer; John L. Rafuse; and Edward M. Miller. John Schaefer's files contained a segment of loose, miscellaneous documents on a variety of energy-related topics; these have been arranged by topic, interfiled with the rest of his papers, and can be identified by brackets around the folder titles.
