CRS-32 The Executive Summary of the CSR review notes that the studies were "vir-' tually unanimous" in finding that Head Start has immediate positive effects on children's cognitive ability but that the cognitive test score gains do not appear to persist over the long-term (i.e., 2 years after Head Start). The summary indicates that the evidence suggests that Head Start

The capacity planned by the utilities for 1991 is sufficient to provide a secure supply assuming electric growth of 2.9 percent annually, but not enough to cover the aboverequirements. elf electric demand grows at 1.4 percent per year, planned capacity is adequate for all purposes.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a series of electric demand and capacity forecasts. These indicate no serious regional imbalance through 1990, but a need for additional capacity by 2000. The effects of economic and physical obsolescence as well as small vs.large plants are also discussed. In any case, much of the deficit could be covered by "least-cost" methods.

The middle capacity case is the average of the high and low.i Reserve margins resulting from the various demand and supply forecasts were used to indicate whether supply problems may occur in the future. Assuming a 20 percent reserve margin requirement as optimal, there appears to be no serious

cns-1o less than 24 percent complete, will be cancelled. Resulting capacity in 1990 will be 680 MW. This problem‘ will be exacerbated by the assumption that decentralized generation will not make much of an impact. Therefore, DOE estimates that at 2 percent real annual GNP growth, the reserve margin nationally will be 33 percent but less than 20 percent in Texas, SPP, and MAPP; at 3 percent GNP

for electricity considered to be derived from such growth, the relationship is not imutable. In fact, it has changed dramatically in the last few years. During the 1953- 1962 period electricity production grew at close to 3 times the rate of GNP; in the 1963~l972 era it increased at approximately double the GNP rate; and in the 1973-1982 period it increased at virtually the same rate.i This shift is illusr
