This achievement is commendable; however, the continued effort of all ALC employees is necessary to meet or exceed the FY77 goal of no growth from FY75.

Use of electricity is on the increase during hot weather months, primarily due to the use of cooling devices. Prudent monitoring of not only lights, but systems and electric fans, is called for to sustain or improve the present posture of reduction. But these "some" represented less than 10 percent of those observed. We think it is a creditable majority performance.
