WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 /U.S. Newswire/ -- "We are pleased that President Bush recognizes that federal investments in energy efficiency yield important economic, national security, and environmental returns, particularly at a time when many domestic programs are being cut," said Kateri Callahan, president of the Alliance to Save Energy, upon the release of the president's fiscal year 2005 budget request to Congress today.

"At the same time, we call on Congress not only to reverse proposed budget cuts to the critical energy efficiency programs slated for reductions, but also to increase their funding above last year's levels," stated Callahan. "We cannot afford to cut funding for programs that educate consumers and industry and help move new, energy-efficient technologies into the marketplace."
