Dr. Alexander. Good morning, and welcome to the second day's 

 session of this conference. Yesterday afternoon we got talkuig about 

 the need for some sort of Federal agency or organization with regard 

 to the coastal zone. 



I think this was pointed up rather clearly by the exchange between 

 Lawyer Krueger and Lawyer Porro. 



We are going to, this morning, ask the question of where might this 

 agency be located within the Federal Government. As you are aware, 

 the Commission report really has two trusts to it. One has to do with 

 the efforts the United States should establish for marine activities 

 and the other is an organizational problem of where the marine agencies 

 themselves should be located. 



A part of this problem is what we will be addressing this morning. 

 I have only one comment to make. If you do have a statement for the 

 record which is more than a page or so in length, will you summarize 

 it and the report itself may be given to the reporter. The stp.tement will 

 go into the record that way. 



Today we have three panelists. The first on my left who will lead 

 off is John Clotworthy. Mr. Clotworthy has an electrical engineering 

 degree from the University of Virginia and also an advanced degree 

 from the Harvard Business School. He was with Westinghouse for 19'
