(94 Stat. 710; Public Law 96-294; 42 U.S.C. 8871), in order
to require Federal agencies which own or lease motor vehicles
to use gasohol in those vehicles which are capable of operating
on gasohol where it is available at reasonable prices and
in reasonable quantities, it is hereby ordered as follows:
1-101. In procurement actions for unleaded gasoline
motor fuel, Federal agencies shall, whenever feasible, specify
that gasohol is an acceptable substitute motor fuel. In such
procurements there shall be a preference for the purchase
of gasohol.
1-102. Agencies may procure the components of gasohol
and do their own blending.
1-103. In determining the feasibility of specifying
gasohol as a substitute motor fuel in procurement actions
for unleaded gasoline, agencies shall include in their con-
siderations such factors as the availability of storage
facilities for bulk.purchases and the number of vehicles
capable of operating on gasohol.
1-104. Agencies shall designate those vehicles which
are capable of using gasohol, consistent with overall agency
needs and sound vehicle management practices. Agencies shall
specify the conditions governing the use of gasohol, including
when gasohol shall be purchased from normal retail outlets
by vehicle operators.
1-105. The use of gasohol by the Department of Defense
pursuant to this Order shall be in accordance with Section 815
of the Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1980 (93 Stat. 817;
Public Law 96-107; 10 U.S.C. 2388 note) which provides for the
use of gasohol to the maximum extent feasible and consistent
with overall defense needs and sound vehicle management practices,
as determined by the Secretary of Defense.
1-106. Vehicles used in experimental programs to test
fuels other than gasohol are excepted from this Order.
1-107. The authority vested in the President by
Section 271(b) of the Energy Security Act (42 U.S.C. 8871(b))
is delegated to the Secretary of Defense with respect to

factors, as may be appropriate.
