program in the marine and atmospheric environments for the benefit of mankind, 
including the scientific, technological, technical services, and social processes 
related thereto, through the enhancement of commerce, transportation, and ha- 
tional security; the protection of health and property; the enhancement of our 
commercial fisheries; and the increased wse and management of these and other 
resources. Such a national program should be conducted so as to contribute to 
the following objectives: ! 
“(1) The accelerated development and use of marine resources, consistent 
with sound management practices and in knowledge of the effects of such de- 
velopment and use on the marine enviromment. 
“(4) The development and improvement of the capabilities, performance, use, 
and efficiency of vehicles, equipment, and instruments for use in exploration, 
research, monitoring and prediction, surveys, the recovery of resources, and the 
conversion, transmission, and residual effects of energy in the marine and atmos- 
pherie environments. 
“(5) The advancement of education and training in marine and atmospheric 
sciences, technology, technical services, and social studies related to the marine 
and atmospheric environments.”

Mr. Lennon. One of the things that has concerned the members of 
the committee with respect to the recommendations of the commission 
as to the so-called establishment of coastal zones is that it is not very 
clear or they don’t suggest very clearly how we should proceed. 
The commission did not have on their staff that I knew about a 
legislative draftsman counsel. 
I might say that the legislation that counsel here referred to was 
the consensus of every member of this subcommittee. We had to take 
the only specific recommendation that they gave with respect to the 
Government structure, the national council and so forth, and we would 
be delighted to have you work with the counsel of this committee by 
reason of your background and your association with the commission 
if we need your assistance. 
We went to the point, as I believe you gentlement know, that we 
have scheduled here for October 28 and 29 a 2-day symposium to 
which we have invited, through the respective Governors of those 
el . . . 4 . . . . 
States at least two individuals representing the marine science council 
or the department of conservation and development, or both, to come 
here and participate in the forum to see if we can’t relate to them 
or have them relate to us just how they feel about the commission’s 
report, particularly in this area regarding the coastal zones and re- 
gional laboratories as to just how it should be treated or oriented.
