HOUSE SCIENCE AND ASTRONAUTICS 13TH ANNUAL PANEL ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, THE RAYBURN BUILDING, JAN. 25, 1972.

MR. CHAIRMAN, MR. SPEAKER, DISTINGUISHED GUESTS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I AM VERY PLEASED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WELCOME THE PARTICIPANTS AND GUESTS TO THIS YEAR)S PANEL ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. FURTHER, I

COMMEND THE COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND ASTRONAUTICS, AND IN PARTICULAR, ITS DISTINGUISHED CHAIRMAN, IN THEIR CHOICE OF A RELEVANT AND TI~ELY THE~E -- REMOTE SENSING OF EARTH RESOURCES.

IT IS MY CONVICTION THAT IF OUR MANNED VOYAGES INTO SPACE HAVE TAUGHT US ONE LESSON, IT IS THAT THE EARTH ITSELF IS BUT A SPACESHIP. WE HAVE SEEN THAT THE EARTH, LIKE OUR APOL~O SPACECRAF~

'

Digitized from Box D32 of The Ford Congressional Papers: Press Secretary and Speech File at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library

-2-

IS A CLOSED ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM REQUIRING OUR ~OST RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL. THIS DISCOVERY HAS POSED A VERY CRITICAL QUESTION. HOW DO WE KEEP THE "SPACESHIP" EARTH HABITASLE?

BOTH THE POPULATION AND PER CAPITA DEMANDS ON THE EARTH\S RESOURCES CONTINUE TO RISE WITH NO DECREASE IN SIGHT. BUT FORTUNATELY, THIS HAS SEEN ACCOMPANIED BY AN INCREASED INTEREST . FOCUSING ON THE EARTH\S ENVIRONMENT AND THE PRESERVATION OF OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. AN OUTGROWTH OF THIS INTEREST IS RECOGNITION OF THE NEED FOR MORE ACCURATE AND FREQUENT ASSESSMENT OF THE EARTH,S RESOURCES -- A MEANS BY WHICH TO SURVEY THE EARTH)S TOTAL SURFACE RAPIDLY AND ECONOMICALLY.

'

-3-

THE KEY TO PROVIDING THIS TYPE CF CO~!.PREHENS I VE RESOURCES INVENTORY WOULD APPEAR TO BE A COMB,NATION SPACEBORNE AND AIRBORNE SENSING SYSTEM. IN THIS MANNERJ THE ENTIRE GLOBE CAN BE MONITORED TO PROVIDE THE EARTHBOUND DECISION-MAKERS WITH THE INFORMATION NECESSARY TO PERFORM THEIR "PLANETARY ENGINEERING."

WE NOW HAVE EVIDENCE THAT OUR GLOBAL SYSTEM EXISTS IN A STATE OF DELICATE BALANCE. FURTHERMORE~ THERE ARE ALSO INDICATIONS OF THE VERY DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES OF DISTURBING THIS BALANCE. EARTH RESOURCES TECHNOLOGY IS THEREFORE AIMED AT THE HEART OF THE PROBLEM AS IT ATTEMPTS TO ASSESS THE PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE IMPACT OF MAN,S ACTIVITIES ON THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT.

,

-4-

1 WOULD LIKE TO COMPLIMENT THE CHAIRMAN ON THE TIMELINESS OF THIS THEME. AS ALL OF YOU ARE A\VARE, THE FIRST ~i~AJOR

THRUST IN EARTH RESOURCES ~ANAGEMENT WILL BE THE LAUNCHING OF THE NASA EARTH RESOURCES TECHNOLOGY SATELLITES A AND 8 -- THE FIRST OF WHICH WILL BE LAUNCHED IN MAY.

THESE SATELLITES WILL PROVIDE US WITH THE FIRST "HARD" I NFOR~AAT I ON IN TERMS OF AN INVENTORY OF THE EARTH -- A SURVEY OF ITS PLANTS, ANIMALS, FORESTS, LAND, WATER, MINERALS, AND PEOPLE. PERHAPS AORE IMPORTANT, THESE SATELLITES WILL ALSO GIVE US SOME INDICATION OF WHAT STRESSES WE ARE PLACING UPON THE EARTH'S ECOLOGICAL SYSTE~, AND THEREBY PROVIDE US THE INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR CHARTING THE BEST COURSE OF FUTURE ACTION.

'

-5-

IT IS ALSO PARTICULARLY HEARTENING TO ME, MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT WE HAVE SUCH OUTSTANDING INTERNATIONAL

. -PARTICIPATION FOR THE PANEL. THE PROBLEMS WE ARE FAC,NG IN EARTH RESOURCES ARE GLOBAL IN NATURE AND THE SOLUTIONS TO THESE PROBLEMS MOST CERTAINLY WILL REQUIRE INTERNATIONAL AS WELL AS NATIONAL ACTION. TYPICALLY, MEASURES TAKEN WITH'N ONE NATION WILL REQUIRE SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF PARALLEL ACTION WITHIN OTHER NATIONS. AND, IF I AM TO JUDGE BY THE PARTICIPATION HERE TODAY, I AM VERY OPTI~ISTIC ABOUT THE PROSPECTS FOR ACHIEVING INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AS WE ADDRESS THE PROBLE~S OF OUR ECOLOGY AND ENV I RONtv1ENT.

MR. CHA I R.~AN, I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS PANEL SESSION NOT ONLY AS A MEANS OF

,

-6-

IMPROVING INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS AND UNDERSTANDING, BUT ALSO BECAUSE I A~ CONFIDENT THIS SERIES OF MEETINGS WILL LEAD TO GREATER INTELLECTUAL SERIOUSNESS AND MORAL SENSITIVITY IN ADDRESSING OUR CRUCIAL GLOBAL PROBLEMS.

' FEEL THAT THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO A 21ST CENTURY WORLD OF STARVING HUMAN MASSES, WITHOUT AIR, WATER AND ROOM, BARELY SURVIVING IN A TOTALLY DEGRADED LEVEL OF EXISTENCE. I AM CONVINCED THAT IT IS NOT TOO LATE AND THAT THERE ~AN ALTERNATIVE. CERTAINLY, THIS PANEL REPRESENTS A MAJOR STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

AGAIN, I WELCOME ALL PARTICIPANTS AS YOU COMMENCE YOUR EFFORTS UNDER OUR DISTINGUISHED CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. -- END --

Mr. Chairman, Mr. Speaker, distinguished guests, ladies and

gentlemen, I am very pleased to have the oppo;tunity to welcome ,, 1». the participants and guests to ·this year's Panel on Science and

Technology. Further, I commend the Committee on Science and

Astronautics, and in particular, its distinguished Chairman, in

their choice of a relevant and timely theme--Remote Sensing of

Earth Resources.

It £s my conviction that if our manned voyages into space

have taught us one lesson, it is that the earth itself is but a

sp~ceship. We have seen that the earth, like our Apollo space­

craft, is a closed ecological system requiring our most responsi-

ble mana.gement and control. This discovery has posed a very

critica~ question: How do we keep the "spaceship" Earth habitable?

Both the population and per capita demands on the earth's

resources continue to rise with no decrease in sight. But for-

tunatelyr this has been accompanied by an ~ncreased interest

·focusing on the earth's environment and the preservation of our

quality of life. An outgrowth of this interest is recognition of

the need for more accurate ·and frequent assessment of the earth's

resources--a means by which to survey the earth's total surface

rapidly and economically.

The key to providing this type of comprehensive resources

inv~ntory would appear to be a combination spaceborne and airborne

sensing system. In this manner, the entire globe can be monitored

'

-2-

to provide the earthbound decision-makers with the information

necessary to perform their "planetary engineering."

We now have evidence that our global system exists in a state

of delicate balance. Furthermore, there are also indications of

the very disas~ous consequences of disturbing this balance.

Earth resources technology is therefore aimed at the heart of the

problem as it attempts to assess the present and prospective im-

pact of man's activities on the global environment • . ,----...

I would ~ like to compliment the Chairman on the timeliness

of this theme. As all of you are aware, the first major thrust

in earth resources management will be the launching of the NASA

Earth Resources Technology Satellites A and B--the first of which

will be launched in Ma~~ak1 'lis ;•••

These satellites will provide us with the first "hard" infor­

mation in terms of an inventory of the earth--a survey of its

plants, animals, forests, land, water, minerals, and people.

Perhaps more important, these satellites will also give us some

indication of what stresses we are placing upon the earth's

ecological system, and thereby provide us the information necessary

. for charting the best course of future action.

It is also particularly heartening to me , Mr. Chairman, that . .

we have such outstanding international participation for the

Panel. The problems we are facing in earth resources are global

in nature and the solutions to these problems most certainly will

,require ·international as' well as national action. · Typically,

measures taken within one nation will require support in the form

of parallel action within other nations. And, if I am to judge

,

-3-

by the participation here today, I am very optimistic about the

prospects for achieving international cooperation as we address

the problems of our ecology and Gnvironment.

Mr. Chairman, I look forward to this Panel session not only

as a means of improving international communications and under­

standing, but also because I am confident this series of meetings

will lead to greater intellectual seriousness and moral sensitivity

in addressing our crucial global problems.

I feel that there is an alternative to a 21st century world

of starving human masses, without air, water, and room, barely

surviving in a totally degraded level of existence. I am convinced

that it is not too late and that there is an alternative.

Certainly, this Panel represents a major step in the right direction.

Again, I welcome all participants as you commence your efforts

under our distinguished Chairman. Thank you very much.
