The President has decided that supporting land use
legislation would violate his no new spending proposals
policy and therefore he will not support such legislation.
This policy has been communicated by Rog Morton in
his Hill testimony.
2.
He wants to determine what we are doing now and what
existing authority we have at the Federal level to
impact land use decisions by the private sector
and non-Federal Government.
3.
FEA is now working on the Attorney General's compilation
of the existing land use authority and activity. That
information will then be put before the President.

Dear Mr. Vice President:
My letter to the President on November 27, 1974, expressed the
Department's interest in the Land-use issue. A copy is enclosed
for your information. It is still evident that there is no simple
solution to this complex problem and that any Administration proposal
must attempt to unite rather than divide the many forces involved.
This Department is generally in favor of the concept of federal
incentives to improve state and local land management and decision-
making. We support new legislation that will encourage a more unified
state procedural framework for dealing with major land development and
conservation decisions affecting more than one local government.
Coordination of existing federal programs apparently could not create
the needed implementation capability at state and local levels.
We have studied the legislative proposal of the Department of the
Interior, along with H.R. 3510 and S. 984 introduced into the 94th
Congress. In many respects, the Interior proposal is preferable to
those of the Congress. We differ with it on some minor points, but
after meeting with Interior's staff we believe that mutually acceptable
changes can be made. With hearings scheduled on H.R. 3510 March 17 and
18, 1975, there is considerable urgency in the development of an
Administration position.
We still must devise an institutional structure at the federal level
to encourage more rational, consistent federal actions and programs
that influence land-use throughout the country. The Department of the
Interior has circulated an issue paper proposing utilization of the
Domestic Council as a high level policy coordinating mechanism, with
an interagency advisory board to serve as a forum for evaluating policy
issues requiring Council resolution. A unique opportunity exists for
the Administration to propose an institutional arrangement designed to
effectively prescribe the proper role of several key agencies now having
significant land-use programs and actions pertinent to state and lossl
governments.

The Vice President
The fundamental principle that must be maintained in any land-use bill
is that one department should not determine the overriding national
interest in land-use policies, decisions, or investments. Such deter-
minations must be made in the Office of the President. Other major
departments agree with us on this principle. Furthermore, the efforts
to tie land-use legislation directly to the current energy situation
and the need for abundant food production, as well as other economic
and social realities, demands a continuing institutional ability to
define short and long range priorities of national interest. Environ-
mental protection strategies have dominated past discussions about
land-use legislation. The time has come for a broader perspective,
bringing together the view of the entire Administration.
As Vice Chairman of the Domestic Council, we believe you could play a
major role in bringing about the institutional framework needed in any
land-use bill. Please let me know how this Department may assist in
this important effort. I have designated Assistant Secretary for
Conservation, Research and Education, Robert W. Long, to represent me
on this matter. He is prepared to review this issue with James Cannon,
Executive Director, and Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs.

Dear Mr. Vice President:
We are very appreciative of the fine opportunity afforded the
Department by your visiting here on Monday to discuss domestic
issues facing our great Nation.
At the completion of the presentation, we provided you with a
copy of all of the charts, and also agreed to transmit a more
complete package in a few days which would attempt to incorporate
our presentation modified by your thoughts and comments.
Specifically, in response to your request, we have included the
following items:
A short paper detailing the various items
presented on the charts.
A letter to Mr. Thomas H. Dunkerton, Senior
Vice President of Compton Advertising, trans-
mitting the Department's definition of our
American free enterprise system.
A letter to Secretary Kissinger forwarding
recommendations of the Department's Marine
Petroleum and Minerals Advisory Committee
pertinent to the forthcoming Law of the Sea
Conference.
A proposal for the commercialization of
synthetic fuels.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE DOMESTIC COUNCIL
Russ
FROM: Russell W. Peterson
SUBJECT: Environmental Needs and Policy Problems
In response to your memorandum of February 27, I am hereby
submitting the Council on Environmental Quality's analysis
of the critical environmental needs and policy problems
facing the United States.
The material is organized as follows:
-- Tab A provides an overview: the nature
of the problem; progress to date; the
outstanding unresolved issues.
-- Tab B through G focus on the six major
environmental areas where significant
attention is required:
-- developing energy resources in an
environmentally acceptable manner
-- protecting human health
-- improving patterns of land use
-- conserving resources
-- managing the public lands
-- expanding ecological research
-- Tab H provides suggestions of ways in which
governmental action in the environmental area
can increase employment in the private sector.
This analysis concentrates on major policy problems which we
believe will be of direct interest to you and the President.
Other needs and policy proposals, important but of lesser
priority, have not been included.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE VICE-PRESIDENT
Subject: Presidential Science Advisor
I understand that you are considering whether to reestablish
the office of Science Advisor to the President in the Executive
Office. I would like to support the reestablishment of the
office on a small scale.
I feel very strongly that on a personal level the President
should be completely free to get advice from whomever he
chooses, and to not get advice from any particular person or
type of person if he prefers. However, on an institutional
level there is much to be said in favor of having the advice
of a scientist available to the President should he wish it.
My own experience in the OMB involved a number of instances
where independent, high-level participation in staff work by
a trained scientist was most useful. NASA and AEC programs
were among those in addition to NSF's and NIH's where this
was true.
In addition to the substantive value of the scientific per-
spective, an extremely important consideration is the confidence
in and respect for the Presidential decisionmaking process
that the reestablishment of a Science Advisor would generate
in the scientific community. The public generally, it seems
to me, respects the President for the integrity of his deci-
sionmaking process and its inclusiveness; this respect for the
process is a prerequisite to respect for the results. The
renaissance of the Science Advisor would be a genuine signal
to an important group that the process was indeed a full and
fair one.

FROM:

SUBJECT:
Request for President to address
Land Use Foundation
The President could use this forum to clearly enunicate
what the Administration has already done to meet the
energy problem. The general perception is that there
is no real energy crunch, and if there is one, "government"
is doing nothing about it. When "government" is per-
sonalized, the President is the perceived target.
The timing and the subject matter merge better together
if the date is after the State of the Union Message.
It is worth noting the negatives. The Seabrook question
will probably still be unresolved; national land use
policy is anathema to this Administration, but popular
with a lot of environmentalists and Congressmen; the
Clean Air Act could be at hand with tremendous land use
implications.
It could be that we will be taking some positions at
that time that will require difficult compromises.
I recommend acceptance of an early February date, with
the subject of the speech confined to our approach
to the energy problem.

Dear Mr. President,
or perhaps I should write as I usually would,
"Dear Jerry", since this is less concerned with the
formality of your incumbency than with your re-
election campaign here in crucial New Hampshire.
A major issue here will be energy policy. Our
teurist and development industries are vitally con-
cerned, being at the end of the pipeline. There's
evidence that the average citizen here strongly mis-
trusts the oil cartel and is inclined to believe the
government is in league with it. This is also the
state where conservation activism began (late in
the 19th century, to save the White Mountains) and
our large & prominent environmental groups are
pushing hard for the development of renewable, less
polluting energy sources.
Because of these conflicting perspectives, energy
will be a tough subject to present properly in the
New Hampshire primary. There is an audience,
however, to which this message can be given with
the most credibility. It is New Hampshire's unique
Land Use Foundation, which brings together all

viewpoints concerned with land use & related issues
including bankers, industrialists, developers, lawyers,
planning professionals, conservationists, leading
citizens. Nowhere on any subject is so broad a
spectrum pulled together here. One common thread
is that the great majority of LUF members are Repub-
licans.
This is an invitation to present an
address (or an informal message)
to Land Use Foundation's annual
meeting, to be held in January (or,
if it will facilitate your calendar,
early February) in Manchester. The
subject of this year's conference is
"Energy Impacts on Land Use".
Anything on the general topic of energy would be timely;
if land use considerations are included, excellent.
LUF's annual meeting & conference is a major event.
As a rule 3-400 of New Hampshire's opinion leaders
attend. Because that is a good size of audience to
work with, we would like to hold to those numbers this
year. However, if you prefer a larger gathering,
facilities are available for a considerably larger audience.
As a rule, we avoid candidates like the plague at these
LUF sessions. Under the unique circumstances
which exist at this time, however, the Board of Trustees
asked us, as their counsel, to extend you this cordial
and urgent invitation.
If I may step out of my role for LUF and pretend you
and I are conversing back in Grand Rapids, let me say
this is an unusual opportunity to present one of the

I truly believe, to present a reasoned energy pro-
posal to a group really eager for one. And this is
a subject you cannot duck here in New Hampshire.
I hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you to

Washington, D.C.
Dear Stewart:
Enclosed are two letters for an invitation for the President
to speak to a group, which I think would be very helpful. As you
know, the energy crisis will be one of the battles we will be
fighting here in January and February.
It appears to me that this is a good invitation, and I
hope the President's schedule people will give this serious con-
sideration. As you will note, they have left the date open in
hopes that something can be worked out.
Sincerely,
Robert K. Turner
District Representative
