This is an unedited Transcript of the Fall Meeting of the Energy Information Administration and the American Statistical Association Committee on Energy Statistics.

The meeting took place October 16 and 17, 2003 in the Forrestal Building at 1000 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20585. Most of the sessions were in 8E-089, although several break out sessions were in 5E-069. After the break on Friday morning, the 2 remaining sessions were moved to Room 6098 at 950 L’Enfant Plaza. This room change was due to an expected fire drill.

Beginning with this meeting, EIA will no longer edit the transcript. An electronic version will be available on EIA’s Home Page at www.eia.gov under Energy Events, and then click on Summary of Advice from the American Statistical Association.
