The United States is already in a critical energy supply and demand situation. We cannot meet our present energy demand. There is no way that we can meet the fantastic energy demand between now and the year 2000 without a yearly increase in the energy imported from overseas. It chills one's blood to know that we spent over $3 billion in 1971 for imported energy. We have been driven into this corner by senseless, inflexible, governmental regulations. We are unable to work ourselves out of this corner because of the demands of extreme environmentalists. If we are to continue to have increasing governmental control, we engineers must provide reliable technical guidance to offset the over-zealous hysteria that finally comes to the attention of our law makers. Engineers are the ones with the background to help. You must make yourself heard--you must meet with and serve on boards an committees where your voices can be heard before decisions are made.

The purpose of this paper is to explain the relation between multiobjective planning of public investment programs and the use of budget constraints, because this important matter is normally not considered in governmental proposals of new planning methods. The multiobjective approach to planning includes: (1) identification of the several objectives of the public organization for which the plans are being made; (2) for each objective development of metrics of its benefits and costs; and (3) design of alternative programs that emphasize alternative combinations of objectives as a means of showing how governmental and private actions can contribute to objectives. In a formal sense a budget constraint is a limit on the total expenditure that can be made for a project or program; and if the constraint is binding, it affects the design of the project or program.

One of the best avenues for rapid development of minority-owned firms, and individual civil engineers, is via joint ventures. The experience of the Delon Hampton-Westenhoff & Novick Joint Venture clearly shows that joint ventures between majority and minority firms can work successfully and to the mutual benefit of both organizations. Based on our experience, the essentials for a successful joint venture are mutual respect of both parties for each other, which leads to a willingness to sincerely and openly discuss differences of opinion and, in this way, produce a quality project.To date, the joint venture is working well, and it appears that high quality design plans and specifications will be completed on time.
