The Energy Department notified Congress yesterday that it has lost 1,427
laptop PCs over the past six years. The department said none of the laptops
contained classified information.

The figure represents approximately two percent of its current inventory of
laptop computers, or approximately 71,874 units used either by agency
personnel or contractors.

The Energy Department statement broke down the missing laptops by year,
with 144 reported missing for 2001, 248 in 2002, 256 in 2003, 258 in 2004,
223 in 2005 and 205 in 2006. Another 81 laptops were identified as missing,
though the years those went missing were not disclosed. The agency revealed
the information in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed
by WTOP, a Washington, D.C., news radio station.
