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 TIMELY THEME -- 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 APOLLO SPACECRAFT,
GERALD FORD LIBRARY
-2-
IS A CLOSED ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM REQUIRING
OUR MOST RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT AND
CONTROL. THIS DISCOVERY HAS POSED A VERY
CRITICAL 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 FORTUNATELY, THIS HAS BEEN
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.
GERALD FORD
-3-
THE KEY TO PROVIDING THIS TYPE
OF COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCES INVENTORY
WOULD APPEAR TO BE A COMBINATION
SPACEBORNE AND AIRBORNE SENSING SYSTEM.
IN THIS MANNER, 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-
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 MAY.
THESE SATELLITES WILL PROVIDE
US WITH THE FIRST "HARD" INFORMATION 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.
GERALD FORD LIBRARY
-5-
IT IS ALSO PART!CULARLY
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 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 ENVIRONMENT.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I LOOK FORWARD LOR TO
THIS PANEL SESSION NOT ONLY AS A MEANS OF
LIBRARY
-6-
IMPROVING INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS AND
UNDERSTANDING, 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.

RAYBURN H.O.B, WASH. P.C. 1-25-72
Mr. Chairman, Mr. Speaker, distinguished guests, ladies and
gentlemen, I am very pleased to have the opportunity to welcome
13th
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 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 Apollo space-
craft, is a closed ecological system requiring our most responsi-
ble management and control. This discovery has posed a very
critical 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-
tunately, this has been 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.
The key to providing this type of comprehensive resources
inventory would appear to be a combination spaceborne and airborne
sensing system. In this manner, the entire globe can be monitored
GERALD LIBRARY
-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 rous 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 May
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 environment.
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.
