Saj's that while there is no imminent prospect of direct sateUite television 



broadcasts to countries that do not wish to have them and while other media 



pose more significant threats to the integrity of national cultures, many 



people are still alarmed by the prospect of direct satellite broadcasting.

Free Flow of Information and National Sovereignty." California Western 



International Law Journal, v. 5, winter 1975: 1-40. 



"This article on the conceptual convergence of the policies surrounding 



the international free flow of information and the protection of national 



sovereignty, as precipitated by the direct broadcast satellite, begins with the 



recognition that there are problems in discerning significant patterns of 



contention amid a multitude of policy statements whose meanings are often 



clouded by reservations and conditions."

{10th), October 1976. Vol I and Vol II. October, 1975. Ann Arbor, University of 



Michigan, October 1975. 721 p. and 838 p. (Available from NTIS as AD-A029

These Proceedings contain papers presented at the Tenth International 

 Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment, held October 6th through 

 10th, 1975, on the campus of The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 

 Michigan. This symposium, conducted by the Environmental Research 

 Institute of Michigan, is part of a continuing program investigating current 

 activities in the field of remote sensing. The meeting is primarily intended to 

 stimulate an exchange of information on numerous aspects of the field, 

 through the presentation of reports on work planned, in progress, or com- 

 pleted. Presentations contained herein include those concerned with the 

 utilization of this technology in various national and international programs 

 as well as in numerous applications for monitoring and managing the earth's 

 resources and man's global environment. Ground-based, airborne and 

 spaceborne sensor systems and both manual and machine-assisted data 

 analysis and interpretation are included.

The committee concluded that land satellite -technology "is inherently 



transnational," and that the "United States ought to commit itself promptly 



to making this technology and its governance international."
