<br /> <br />UJ2308 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />LEGAL ALTERNATIVES AND PROSPECTS <br /> <br />BY <br /> <br />CONRAD G, KEYES, JR,* <br /> <br />DISCUSSANT TO U,S, CONGRESSMAN FRANK E, EVANS <br />TECHNICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS OF WEATHER MODIFICATION SESSION <br /> <br />AAAS ANNUAL MEETING, DENVER <br />22 FEBRUARY 1977 <br /> <br />In the Summer of 1966, I became involved with the design of a hydrometeor- <br /> <br />logical network for the Jemez Winter Orographic Weather Modification Project in <br /> <br />'northern New Mexico. During the next 10 years, I moved from Field Engineer on <br /> <br /> <br />that Bureau of Reclamation research project to the Executive Secretary of the <br /> <br /> <br />North American Interstate Weather Modification Council (NAIWMC). The Council <br /> <br />serves states and provinces, political sub-divisions, and even federal agencies <br />that are interested in uniform regulation and coordination of all weather modifi- <br />cation activities. My original purpose in this session may have been to down- <br />grade or show weaknesses in the "Evans Bill" (H.R. 10039), which was introduced <br />in the 1st Session of the 94th Congress. More importantly, however, I would <br />like to give you some of my thoughts on the way to uniformly regulate all <br />weather modification activities. These ideas may in fact be the solution to a <br /> <br />unified effort for the Jevelopment of a potentially needed technology for the <br /> <br />increased production of food, fiber and water. <br /> <br />*Executive Secretary, North American Interstate Weather Modification Council, <br />Box 3CE, N.M.S.U., Las Cruces, N.M. 88003. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />
