It is the policy of Congress to continue the agricultural research at State agricultural experiment stations which has been encouraged and supported by the Hatch Act of 1887 [[7 U.S.C. 361a](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title7-section361a&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.], the Adams Act of 1906, the Purnell Act of 1925, the Bankhead-Jones Act of 1935, and title I, section 9, of that Act as added by the Act of August 14, 1946, and Acts amendatory and supplementary thereto, and to promote the efficiency of such research by a codification and simplification of such laws. As used in this Act [[7 U.S.C. 361a](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title7-section361a&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.], the terms “State” or “States” are defined to include the several States (including the District of Columbia), Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands. As used in this Act [[7 U.S.C. 361a](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title7-section361a&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.], the term “State agricultural experiment station” means a department which shall have been established, under direction of the college or university or agricultural departments of the college or university in each State in accordance with an Act approved July 2, 1862, (12 Stat. 503), entitled “An Act donating public lands to the several States and Territories which may provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts” [[7 U.S.C. 301](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title7-section301&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.]; or such other substantially equivalent arrangements as any State shall determine.

It is recognized that research in forestry is the driving force behind progress in developing and utilizing the resources of the Nation’s forest and related rangelands. The production, protection, and utilization of the forest resources depend on strong technological advances and continuing development of the knowledge necessary to increase the efficiency of forestry practices and to extend the benefits that flow from forest and related rangelands. It is recognized that the total forestry research efforts of the several State colleges and universities and of the Federal Government are more fully effective if there is close coordination between such programs, and it is further recognized that forestry schools are especially vital in the training of research workers in forestry. It is also recognized that the provisions of this subchapter are essential to assist in providing the research background that undergirds the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 [[16 U.S.C. 1600](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section1600&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.], the Renewable Resources Extension Act of 1978,11 See References in Text note below. and the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977 [[16 U.S.C. 2001](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section2001&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.].

PREAMBLE
The preamble to act Oct. 11, 1949, provided that:
‘‘Whereas the national forests of the United States
contain approximately eighty million acres of the Na-
tion’s commercial timber lands and approximately
eighty-three million acres of the Nation’s important
grazing lands; and
‘‘Whereas these national-forest lands comprise the
principal source of water supply for domestic, irriga-
tion, and industrial purposes for thousands of commu-
nities, farms, and industries, and good forest and other
vegetative cover is essential for watershed protection;
and
‘‘Whereas these lands annually supply approximately
four billion board-feet of forest products through twen-
ty-seven thousand sales transactions and the demand
for national forest timber is steadily increasing; and
‘‘Whereas these lands are the sole or main source of
summer range for ten million cattle and sheep grazed
by thirty thousand livestock permittees whose liveli-
hood is wholly or partially dependent upon livestock
grazed on national-forest ranges; and
‘‘Whereas these lands contain over four million acres
of denuded and unsatisfactorily stocked timberlands
and an additional four million acres of seriously de-
pleted range lands; and
‘‘Whereas all of these lands are potentially capable of
producing an important part of the timber and forage
needs of local communities, and contributing to
