not sure we will ever be in the po- 

 sition of quantifying all those im- 

 pacts economically. I think what we 

 need to do is set forth what we feel 

 are appropriate goals to meet and 

 then try to meet them. Economics 

 is a part of that, but I don't think 

 you can do a dollar for dollar com- 

 parison and expect estuaries to come 

 out on the top every time. There are 

 other benefits which we just can't 

 quantify that we need to recognize 



in our deliberations 



Reply : I would accept that 

 there are hopes and expectations of 

 our society that are beyond what we 

 can measure in dollars and that is a 

 tough one. Anybody else care to com- 

 ment on that subject of economics? I 

 know it is a burning issue that we 

 are never going to solve. I think we 

 are burned out.
