(2) Cooperation with the State and local governments for 

 a coordinated national effort; and 



(3) Establishment of operating program guidelines and 

 minimum water quality standards for the States. 



The fishermen were more concerned that the Federal Government: 



(1) Take strong protective action, especially in acquis- 

 ition and activity control; and 



(2) rianage, as the problems were felt to be too great 

 for the State and local governments to handle. 



Industry generally wanted the State to: 



(1) Operate the management plan through a number of 

 instrumentalities, especially water quality control; 



(2) Manage in cooperation with the local governments; 

 and 



(3) Manage within the framework of a national plan. 



The fishermen wanted only a very minor role for the States, as they 

 felt that the States have done very little of what they could or 

 should have been doing. 



The industrial representatives saw the local role to be: 



(1) Management, in cooperation with the States; or 



(2) Conduct of the management plan, utilizing Federal 

 and State financial and technical assistance.
