to the Governor. Tlie present department of navigation and ocean 

 development is only a be»-innino-. It has the power to j)lan, rc,£>-u]ate 

 and require and develop. Because of both Federal and State jurisdic- 

 tions, this coastal zone authority concept must be a joint venture and, 

 therefore, jointly funded. We have reviewed the report and we agree 

 with the majority of the recommendations. 



I have already referred to the Lieutenant Governor having already 

 appeared to comment on the bill. 



Our objective in California will be to tailor a coastal J:one authority 

 for maximum benefit in conforming to the recommendations of Con- 

 gress. We would expect to participate to the extent that funds are 

 provided by Congress and intend to continue to move aggressively at 

 the State level. 



Thank you. 



Dr. Chapman. Thank you. 



Mr. Thomas Sodditt. I Avould like to state as a matter of record 

 that the State of Georgia has created the management system to co- 

 ordinate with the Federal Government in management of coastal 

 zones. This agency is called the Ocean Science Center of the Atlantic 

 Commission. It has been given broad guidelines by the State legis- 

 lature. I would like to submit the guidelines for the record, to show 

 that the State of Georgia is prepared to coordinate with the Federal 

 Government, when the Federal Government gets an agency that we 

 can get some funds from. 



Dr. Chapman. Thank you. 



I want to thank very much the gentlemen who have been with us 

 this afternoon, who participated so frankly. 



I know how^ busy you all are. I know" we all appreciate your com- 

 ing here to be with us.
