states to use the CZMA will be simply to amend the 1977 Act to 
outline national interests for specific management plans for 
estuaries of national significance as part of the Federally ap¬ 
proved coastal management programs, as San Francisco, I believe, 
has already done. 
The San Francisco Bay has provided examples. Example 1 is 
that CZMA worked. Example 2 is that it has influence, which 
certainly effected its own strength and legal confines and is 
felt in surrounding areas as well. I think it also provides 
comprehensive and overall management to a resource which is 
valuable to all of us as Americans and certainly to those of us 
who are Californians. 
Obviously, Congress does not yet have answers to all the 
challenges that we face. I think we are going to be looking to 
people such as you to provide recommendations and guidance for 
our actions and activities in the future. I look forward to 
that kind of product coming from you and from this conference 
and I look forward to working with you in the months and years 
ahead. Thank you.
