TITLE 33—NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS
§ 853
ministration will then provide a single national focus
for our efforts to describe, understand, and predict the
state of the oceans, the state of the lower and upper at-
mosphere, and the size and shape of the earth.
Establishment of the Administration will mark a sig-
nificant step forward in the continual search by the
Federal Government for better ways to meet the needs
of the Nation for environmental science services. The
organizational improvements made possible by the re-
organization plan will enhance our ability to develop
an adequate warning system for the severe hazards of
nature—for hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes,
and seismic sea waves, which have proved so disastrous
to the Nation in recent years. These improvements will
permit us to provide better environmental information
to vital segments of the Nation’s economy—to agri-
culture, transportation, communications, and industry,
which continually require information about the phys-
ical environment. They will mean better services to
other Federal departments and agencies—to those that
are concerned with the national defense, the explo-
ration of outer space, the management of our mineral
and water resources, the protection of the public health
against environmental pollution, and the preservation
of our wilderness and recreation areas.
The new Administration will bring together a number
of allied scientific disciplines that are concerned with
the physical environment. The integration will better
enable us to look at man’s physical environment as a
scientific whole and to seek to understand the inter-
actions among air, sea, and earth and between the
upper and lower atmosphere. It will facilitate the de-
velopment of pr
