The next chart deals with the Department of the Interior, and the 

 mission is, I think, clearly stated. 



The various portions of the Department have responsibilities related 

 to their overall missions. The Bureau of Land Management, Outdoor 

 Eecreation, and the Park Service have responsibility for various as- 

 pects of the use of the shoreline and ocean areas for recreation purposes. 

 The other responsibilities, I think, are clear from the nature of the 

 subportions of the Department. ( See chart 4. )

The Department of Commerce has particular responsibility for 

 problems in environmental prediction. In the Coast and Geodetic 

 Survey, it has responsibility primarily for coastal charting and chart- 

 ing around the continental United States, its territories, islands, and 

 possessions. In the Maritime Administration, of course, there is respon- 

 sibility for improvement of the marine transportation system of the 

 United States. (See chart 6.)
