two avenues which H.R. 19256 and H.R. 19258 endorse and direct the — 
Council on Environmental Quality to explore. 
For these reasons, I urge the committee to act favorably on H.R. 
19256 and H.R. 19258. 
Mr. Drneevx. Thank you, Congressman; that was an excellent 
statement. 
Our next witness is the Assistant Secretary for Fish, Wildlife, 
Parks, and Natural Resources, Department of the Interior, Dr. Leslie 
L. Glasgow. The Chair is happy to welcome you. 
Mr. Kerrn. Mr. Chairman, I have to leave momentarily to attend 
a hearing on the Senate side, concerning the impact of conversion 
from a wartime economy to a peacetime economy. Since I have 12- 
percent unemployment in the city of New Bedford, I do have a role 
to play in that. However, I have an observer here and, as Secretary 
Glasgow knows, this is a subject that is as dear to my heart as ¢ any, and 
I will be back. 
I would appreciate being excused momentarily. 
Mr. Drncext. Certainly. | 
Mr. Secretary, you may proceed. 
If you will, identify the gentlemen who are present at the com- 
mittee table with you.

to handle on the floor will be up shortly and I may have to momen- 
tarily break in and will set a time for hearing later this afternoon. 
J express my sincere apologies. 
I know how pressed you are with other very important matters. 
I hope you won’t take unkindly the necessity of the situation in which 
I find myself and I apologize. 
Dr. Guascow. I am sure we all have certain events arising beyond 
our control and we must recognize them. 
Mr. Dinentt. This is not done intentionally, I assure you.
